Jan 24, 2008     3 AM(Jan 23, 2008 to Jan 25, 2008)  Venus in Capricorn conjunct Ascendant or Sun: The art of self-adornment and the art of love predominate now. You're inclined to use sweetness, charm, sex appeal, or flirtatiousness to ease interactions. You're also quite conscious of your body and appearance now and you may buy some new apparel, get your hair done, wear your best jewelry, or otherwise enhance your looks or surroundings. It feels good to lavish loving attention on yourself, and your relations with others benefit as a result. Someone beautiful could enter your life. Your love light shines brightly now and you wish to please and be pleased, to give and receive a personal, loving touch. Both romance and friendship are enhanced by warm expressions of appreciation, affection, and treats. Your sensitivity to aesthetics is heightened as well and anything ugly or impersonal will bother you more than usual. This is a time to beautify, embellish, decorate, or bring flowers. You attract admiration as well!


Jan 24, 2008         (Jan 23, 2008 to Feb 17, 2008)  Venus 1st House: Where: Everywhere!

You can attract what you want and need, rather than pursue it forcefully or do it all yourself. This is an excellent time to go out on a date or ask someone for a favor, because you make a decidedly positive impression at the moment. Being with people and enjoying good times (especially with beautiful, charming, lighthearted people) is really what you want now. You're in a friendly and cooperative mood which brings ease to your interactions and an overall sense of harmony to your day. Because you are open to love and friendly gestures, you will attract loving people into your experience.

Overall this is apt to bring ease and engender positive feelings in your interactions and personal relationships, but in a situation in which you need to move forcefully on your own behalf it could work against you. Social engagements, pleasure outings, and even shopping are favored. Your own values or way of expressing love and affection may differ from someone you encounter now, but because you are willing to please and smooth over differences, all is apt to turn out well. At the very least, you'll learn something about a friend or lover that helps you understand them. In fact, your differences may be appealing. As long as egos don't interfere, love will reign!

How: By expressing and emphasizing your dedication, practicality, work ethic.
