Venus in Lovely

Venus moves into Libra today, putting the love planet in her own refined, well-appointed cosmic digs. Venus in the sign she rules is a general mood enhancer, putting our focus on pleasing each other, and being part of a twosome. Venus in Libra stirs up longing for partnership, to feel bonded to another in a growing union. Libra brings back those high-minded romantic visions, and can be a motivating force that draws that ideal closer to reality. It also inspires gracious manners, and pursuit of all that's illuminated and lovely.

As transiting Venus moves around the Zodiac each year, we get a sample of the different ways to engage with life and love. Knowing more about your natal Venus (and that of your partner, friends, etc) shines light on your own natural inclinations.
