Heed the Venus Change
In the jostle of a Venus change, there’s no need to wonder or ponder to pick the perfect moment to act. It’s now — always now. The question is which action. Maybe the action is doing planning or research. Maybe the action is listening for clues and cues. Maybe it’s “go time” for the main event, but it’s always going on now, which is the only actionable time.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The beauty that appears to be out in the world is actually happening in a small network of electric impulses sparking inside you. Don’t diminish your role. To love and celebrate beauty is, in some ways, to create it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Change is exciting. The very hope of it will bring a beginning burst of progress. When obstacles test your commitment and determination, it only strengthens your resolve. Push through. You’re unstoppable.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Sometimes happiness occurs to you more like an attitude than a feeling. You slip into a smile regardless of whether the scene seems to call for it, and reasons to smile will then alight to your realm like a flutter of friendly butterflies.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You like figuring out what makes people happy, and if it’s not too much of an ask, you’re glad to deliver on it and you don’t need anything in return. But if someone is a habitual taker and never gives back, it’s wise to take note.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You like to respond to texts as soon as possible, but the rules change for someone who is too powerful in your mind. It’s uncomfortable, this imbalance. So you may opt to restore some equilibrium by playing it cool and taking your time.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). “No regrets” is a motto you’ll apply multiple ways. You won’t do anything you might regret. You’ll also give yourself plenty of grace with whatever you do end up choosing because once it’s done, the winning move is to see it as good and build from there.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Stick to what you love, and if it’s not here yet, wait for it. Skip anything you merely like because it’s better to have a space there for what you love to drop into. Your tastes are rapidly changing. What you like now, you might not like tomorrow. But if you love it, it will remain.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t have to change your whole life to do the thing you want to do or be who you want to be. When you do the action in some small way, you’re already embodying the role. Think in terms of verbs. When you dance, you’re a dancer.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll think better without visual distraction. Simplify your surroundings to create a clearer, more focused environment. This will enhance your productivity and bring peace to your space. It will also impress the surprise visitor of the day.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you consider information to be neutral, you’ll have an easier time of knowing what to do with it. Besides being a good strategy, it’s also the truth. The very essence of facts is that they simply are, and all connotations and judgments are add-ons.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s a day to stay light-hearted, as pondering the deeper matters will be better on a day when what’s deeper matters. Right now it’s all on the surface, waiting to be recognized and appreciated for how it reflects the light.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Try to remember that the judge inside is not an impartial ruler, nor is it an omniscient force, clued into what will actually make us happy. Opening to other perspectives is opening to other potential sources of joy.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 29). Love in many forms makes this a year of connection and purpose. You’ll bring a sweet and healing energy to relationships. You will move people with your gift for acknowledging life’s truths courageously seeking the heart of the matter. More highlights: A location and/or vocational shift. Air travel and unusual investments with surprising results. Scorpio and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 13, 3, 30 and 17.
