We are all being asked to work today, regardless of how tempted we are to shirk our duties. Venus is rolling along through Gemini, giving us the urge to connect and circulate, but a square to masterful Saturn at 4:25 am EDT will require us to get serious and leave more shallow pursuits for another time. The emphatic Moon in Cancer will then trine Saturn, strengthening us to perform our duties without feeling like we’re being forced to put in the effort.
March 21 – April 19
Inhibitions could loom larger than normal. You may want to bounce about your neighborhood while Venus moves along through your chatty 3rd house — until Venus locks into a complicated square with responsible Saturn in your subconscious 12th house. This could leave you feeling like there’s something you’ve forgotten to do, or it may put you out of sorts for reasons you can’t seem to fathom. It’s alright if things seem nebulous for the moment, as clarity should return in a few days.
April 20 – May 20
Your extravagances may come second to other people’s needs. It’s easier than normal to stop and smell the roses while Venus moves through your luxurious 2nd house, but that pleasure cruise will get detoured when Venus squares Saturn, currently in your communal 11th house. The demands of your social circle could be too much for you to ignore, no matter how unimpressed you are with the situation overall. Unfortunately, avoidance is probably not an option, so be prepared to play your part as required.
May 21 – June 20
Your obligations may outweigh more exciting opportunities. You’re probably inclined to indulge while Venus tours your precocious sign. That said, when Venus argues with Saturn in your ambitious 10th house, you could be required to set aside a hobby while you deal with more serious matters. The more you try to fight against this, the more difficult it will be to handle things with aplomb, so be your most flexible self. There’s no reason you can’t make the most of what’s on offer.
June 21 – July 22
Knowing where to seek your satisfaction isn’t as simple as usual. You can fall out of touch with your desires while pleasure-loving Venus hangs out in your hidden 12th house — plus, your inner compass will have trouble sorting itself as Venus squares Saturn in your boundless 9th house. It’s alright if you can’t seem to get in tune with the things that normally bring you pleasure. They should return in a day or two when the planets are in less confusing places.
July 23 – August 22
Serious matters can dampen an otherwise playful day. A tough square between Venus in your 11th House of Social Networks and Saturn in your 8th House of Shared Resources will encourage you to circulate like a social butterfly, only to be confronted with red tape and more pressing issues. You may need to tend to certain financial matters, potentially involving a loan or debt, or someone may come forward to borrow from you. Either way, you’ll almost definitely be required to don your game face.
August 23 – September 22
Someone may not be as supportive of your ambitions as you would prefer. You’re ready and willing to perform at top capacity with alluring Venus in your public 10th house, but a specific peer could rain on your parade when Venus squares Saturn in your relationship sector. There’s a risk that someone you’d usually rely on fails to be the support you’d wish, or maybe a current partner gets upset about how much time you’re spending at the office. Negotiating will likely be required.
September 23 – October 22
Your sense of adventure is confronting your sense of responsibility. You’d love to fly freely through the world while your ruler Venus dances through your 9th House of Expansion, but you’ll need to deal with more pressing matters when Venus squares Saturn in your efficiency sector. An important project may demand your attention, one that only you can fix. Conversely, perhaps you aren’t feeling your best and need to rest up. Don’t push yourself if it only leads to burnout.
October 23 – November 21
Pursuing your pleasures is a double-edged sword at present. Venus in your intense 8th house is bumping up against karmic Saturn in your joyful 5th house, which could leave you reeling as you try to figure out how to scratch your soul’s itches. The usual things simply may not satisfy you like they usually do, but don’t feel out of sorts if that’s the case. Instead, use this angle to figure out what really makes you happy to be alive and experiencing this reality.
November 22 – December 21
Emotional turmoil might be weighing heavily over other aspects of your life. You may be tempted to focus on interesting people with alluring Venus in your relationship sector, but you’ll likely become too wrapped up in personal matters to connect with them as Venus squares Saturn. With Saturn’s serious influence in your 4th House of Feelings, you’re being asked to do internal work and deal with any ongoing issues before you can handle outside concerns. Don’t fight the urge to nurture yourself.
December 22 – January 19
Getting your ideas across shouldn’t be this difficult! Unfortunately, under today’s square between Venus in your efficiency sector and Saturn in your communication zone, trying to accomplish everything on your plate isn’t going to be as straightforward as it first appears. Whether you simply can’t wrap your head around your to-do list or endless interruptions keep throwing you off track, trying to reach any particular finish lines could be a bit of a headache. If possible, avoid spiraling out by narrowing your focus.
January 20 – February 18
Your basic duties are more important than your pleasures, at least for now. Venus in your 5th House of Passion is driving you to chase after whatever brings you joy, but that gets checked when Venus squares Saturn in your 2nd House of Material Security. Whether you’re stuck at work with a long to-do list or are too concerned with your finances to feel up to a bit of frivolity, something is bound to put the kibosh on your pleasure cruise.
February 19 – March 20
You may be unable to shake a certain heaviness. You’re likely in the mood to nurture yourself as Venus tours your sensitive 4th house, but your soul environment could seem unpleasantly bleak or cold when Venus squares stoic Saturn in your emotive sign. There may be some old blockages you need to work through — certain issues that are inhibiting emotional growth. Ask yourself if you’re still clinging to any outdated coping mechanisms. You’re capable of moving beyond any such limits.
