PISCES 20 FEB - 20 MAR
Feel-good Venus dances into your sign from today encouraging you to do what you do best and connect with friends, family and anyone who needs sympathy or a shoulder to cry on. This planet can inspire you to reinvent yourself and to do so imaginatively.
ARIES 21 MAR - 20 APR
As Venus moves into a private sector, it indicates a desire for secrecy. You may want to keep a new relationship under wraps or have other plans you aren’t ready to share. With the illuminating sun here, this is a time when there’s a lot going on behind the scenes.
TAURUS 21 APR - 21 MAY
Ready to make new friends? Venus, your personal planet, glides into your social zone so you’ll be eager to connect with kindred spirits who share your interests. You might also be drawn to creative or spiritual people, or those who love glamour.
GEMINI 22 MAY - 21 JUN
Diplomatic Venus brightens up your sector of goals, so make full use of your natural wit and charm to impress all the right people. You’ll have the ability to read others’ vibes and sense what they’re thinking and planning, which could be to your advantage.
CANCER 22 JUN - 23 JUL
A mystical focus is enhanced as Venus moves into Pisces and your sector of far horizons and new experiences. Need a boost? A teacher, life coach or someone with a lot of experience could give you a fresh perspective and renewed hope.
LEO 24 JUL - 23 AUG
A soothing influence could enable you to be still rather than to overreact to awkward situations. If you’ve felt ruffled by recent events, the presence of harmonious Venus can help greatly. This doesn’t mean you should hide your feelings.
VIRGO 24 AUG - 23 SEP
Relationships are emphasised as Venus moves into Pisces. This can be a very romantic influence, so whether you’re single or spoken for, the desire to reach out may be stronger than usual. And if there are major issues to talk about, this is the ideal time for you to do so.
LIBRA 24 SEP - 23 OCT
It’s time to be kinder to yourself. If you’ve been working hard, Venus’ journey through Pisces is telling you to unwind, enjoy some pampering and give yourself a little treat. With Mars at the tailend of this zone, something left unfinished may come to light.
SCORPIO 24 OCT - 22 NOV
Romance is in the air as Venus moves into your pleasure zone. Taking time out with your partner to do something special could add sizzle to your bond. If you’re solo, the coming weeks are perfect for a meeting that sparkles with promise.
SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV - 21 DEC
With Venus in your domestic sector, it may be easier to resolve family issues and find a solution that suits everyone. Discussions may be more fruitful with those involved willing to compromise. A creative influence may see you doing some redecorating.
CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 20 JAN
Have meetings to attend or something urgent to discuss? Venus can help as she eases into your communication zone. Her calming influence encourages you and others to see all sides of the situation, leading to fairer decisions.
AQUARIUS 21 JAN - 19 FEB
The desire to be freer with your finances may find you eager to give to good causes or indulge in small treats, especially if you’ve been watching your spending. Easing up might do you the world of good if you throw in some pampering.
