Life may seem weighed down by the current energy. The Moon in Leo sends out an electric shock as it jabs at rabble-rouser Uranus in Taurus, but the real drama begins when Venus squares Pluto at 8:29 am EST! Our every desire may feel as though it’s practically life-or-death. The skies should ease when the Moon smooths things over with a friendly sextile to Venus in fair-minded Libra, before finally settling down in Virgo. We can step back and see things as they truly are.
March 21 – April 19
Working together is the quickest way to reach the top, provided you don’t take advantage of anyone in the process. A square between Venus in your partnership sector and Pluto in your career sector is offering you the drive to reach higher than ever before. Consider pairing up in order to make this happen with even more efficiency. Just make sure your goals are aligned, or else one person could get dragged toward a finish line they never wanted to cross.
April 20 – May 20
The grass is always greener on the other side — and the further away said grass is, the more appealing it might seem. Venus in your daily routine sector is debating with Pluto in your adventurous 9th house. Even if everything seems fine in your immediate reality, it probably won’t be nearly as exciting as all the opportunities waiting out in the great wide world. Don’t sacrifice what you’ve already created for something that’s only a maybe! You can fly free another day.
May 21 – June 20
The green-eyed monster could come for you today, Gemini. A conflicting square between Venus in your passionate 5th house and Pluto in your intimate 8th house could have you thinking you can have it all, especially if everyone else seems to be doing just that. Avoid comparing yourself to others, as that is the surest way to cause dissatisfaction on a personal level. Instead, focus on the bounty already in your life! You may realize that you have no reason to covet someone else’s treasure.
June 21 – July 22
Someone may not be as considerate of your feelings right now as you would prefer. Venus is in your 4th House of Feelings, putting you wholly in touch with your emotional needs. However, its square to Pluto in your 7th House of Relationships could have someone act out in a way that leaves you feeling high and dry. Don’t let one person’s behavior totally derail your day, but if they overstep a line with you, you should let them know that they’ve gone too far.
July 23 – August 22
The flow of life may not be running as smoothly as you would like. The combustible square between Venus in your social 3rd house and Pluto in your responsible 6th house is to blame! While you’d probably rather go and do as you please, something — or someone — will potentially demand you put your nose to the grindstone. If people keep distracting you from your chores, try putting your phone on silent. You can get back to everyone once you’ve completed your tasks.
August 23 – September 22
Working hard and playing hard will require a bit of a balancing act. Venus in your 2nd House of Income wants you to be the ultimate money magnet, but that won’t go smoothly when it argues with Pluto in your 5th House of Pleasure. You’ll probably be more interested in kicking back and having fun! If you don’t feel like working overtime, that’s fine — just make sure you don’t turn around and spend everything you’ve made recently. It’s dangerously easy to go overboard.
September 23 – October 22
A family matter could stand in the way of pursuing your own pleasures. Your ruler Venus is in your sign, blessing you with cosmic bounty — but watch out when Venus squares Pluto in your home sector. This might stir up drama with a family member or roommate if you’re not careful! Someone may respond poorly to your own desire for fun, so don’t be shocked if they put a damper on your personal parade. Remember to make space for yourself as needed.
October 23 – November 21
Jarring dissonance between your fantasies and reality may throw you off track today. You can go with the flow while Venus dances through your sleepy 12th house, but you’ll be brought back to the real world when the Goddess of Pleasure picks a fight with Pluto in your busy 3rd house. People may come forward, demanding you do this or change that — their needs could force you to leave your daydreams for another time. Hiding away is not a viable option, unfortunately.
November 22 – December 21
Pleasure cruises sure are tempting, but someone has to pay for them. That person may, in fact, be you, as Venus in your garrulous 11th house grumbles at forceful Pluto in your money-focused 2nd house, which could make you feel like you’re paying a much higher price for your usual dose of fun. Other people might be pressuring you to hop on an expensive bandwagon, so make sure you can afford the fare before you climb aboard — or you may regret the experience.
December 22 – January 19
You might be your own worst enemy on a day like this. Venus in your reputation sector is brightening your inner light so everyone can see, but the mood changes when Venus disagrees with all-or-nothing Pluto in your own 1st House of Self-Expression. It’s easy to overstep yourself under this angle, and the worst part is you’ll have an extra big audience to see any missteps. Do your best to avoid any unpleasant behavior. You’ll thank yourself for it in the long run!
January 20 – February 18
Something that has lain dormant for a long time could rear up and surprise you. Venus in your adventurous 9th house is encouraging you to explore the world as much as possible, but its square to Pluto in your subconscious sector could stir up old drama you’d thought was over and done with. Instead of tearing off to new places in order to avoid these demons, face them directly so you can rout them and remove them from your life for good.
February 19 – March 20
People overstepping themselves may feel more painful than normal at present. You’re likely inclined to keep your thoughts to yourself while Venus tours your private 8th house, but that mood gets turned on its head when Venus squares Pluto in your people-pleasing 11th house, bringing unwanted attention to your most personal matters. That being said, just because people are being nosy doesn’t mean you have to let them in on every secret! It’s your job to let everyone else know where your personal boundaries lie.
