You will want romance or your social life to be an adventurous experience for the next few weeks with Venus having moved out of hiding in your chart. Happy for loved ones to expand your view of life and teach you more, you will want to be entertained and informed at the same time. Head for exotic locations, stretching activities ore a wider circle of stimulating friends. You will also take pleasure from reading good books.
Into a more intense, secretive phase of your emotional life, you will love people or loathe them. There will not be much in between where your feelings are concerned. Living life at a profound level you won't care anything too frivolous or superficial. For a few weeks you will be more secretive than usual. Only those closest to you will guess what is on your mind.
Socially you will be on top form for a few weeks, charming the birds off the trees and feeling extremely popular. You will say what you think will please, not necessarily what you think or feel, which could make you seem a touch insincere, though you are well intentioned. But these influences will do wonders for your closest relationships. In love with love you will be putting out highly attractive vibes. Not only towards that special person but also out on the wider social scene.
You will tend to throw your emotional needs into work for a few weeks, and could be a little stand-offish on social occasions. Others may find you reserved but will not always realise quite how pre-occupied you really are. Although with Venus, planet of love and indulgence, in your chart, you could find romances spring up around your everyday chores. Even if that doesn't happen you will still take pleasure in doing things with care.
Your naturally sunny temperament will keep you popular and help you to avoid boring routines for a few weeks. You will be putting on a great performance, entertaining everyone in sight, and glowing when you have an appreciative audience. No one will doubt that you fully intend to enjoy yourself. A real lover of parties, you will be dramatic in the way you present yourself. Your exuberant personality will make you a hit.
More sensitive and emotional than usual, you want happy family relations and a peaceful domestic existence for a few weeks ahead. More than usual, you will be expressing affection for your close family and want to be entertaining relatives and close friends at home. Sort out your domestic arrangements so that everything flows smoothly. You will have an intuitive feel for whatever is happening. Just don't over react, and get hurt by even the slightest whiff of criticism.
Nothing will make you happier than peaceful conversations with friends, neighbours, brothers and sisters or workmates in the weeks ahead. The everyday people in your life will be the most appreciative and supportive. With Venus, your ruler, now in your chart, you will be putting on the charm in conversations, phone calls and when you write letters. Your wonderful way with words guarantees you will be highly persuasive.
Irresistibly attracted to the beautiful, luxurious and expensive things of life over the coming weeks, you will be tempted to over spend. Nothing cheap, cheerful or practical will really appeal. You do want more beautiful things around you. But maybe you are also trying to compensate for a lack you feel elsewhere. But don't muddle love and money and assume if you are not being given lavish presents that you are not really valued.
What you really want is peace and harmony, so you will be trying to iron out problems, act as a peacemaker, and maybe in the process not stand up for your rights. But as long as you watch that pitfall, your natural charm will be working wonders, putting everyone around you at ease. Clearly your popularity rating will stay high over coming weeks. Looking great and attracting compliments for the care you take over your appearance, you will be putting your best foot forward in social company.
You may feel just a touch isolated or under-appreciated for a few weeks. But there really is no need. Just enjoy this quiet time since it will not last long. With Venus tucked out of sight your role is to be giving rather than receiving. The upside is that it will put you in touch with creative or spiritual matters, so you will emerge softer, wiser and revitalised because of the deeper connections you have made within yourself.
At your best over the coming weeks in large social groups and team relationships at work you will be looking optimistically ahead. Your friendship circle will be welcoming, and you will have no shortage of invitations or ports of call when you feel inclined to be out and about. Your wonderful knack of putting others at their ease, will make you welcome wherever you go. But you will want elbow room. You won't put up with jealousy in any form and will run a mile at the first whiff off possessiveness.
The position of Venus your chart means you will be using your charms to impress influential people at work or out in the community. Flattery will get you most places, so keep handing out the compliments. They may not always be sincere but they will work. Very much wanting to be looked up to and admired, you will be sprucing up your appearance. Try to find time to stay close to what you really feel on the inside.
