Thursday, JULY 9

Venus enters Virgo today, where it will remain until August 6th. We may find more pleasure in our work or wellness routines than usual during Venus’s stay in Virgo, and the satisfaction of a job well done is particularly rewarding. Pleasures and pastimes that serve a useful purpose become more appealing.

Virgo is sensual yet practical. We express our love through practical means and gestures–running errands, paying attention to detail, or simply being there for our loved ones. However, there may be some nervousness, and we should be mindful of a tendency to worry, overanalyze, or fret, especially in our relationships during this cycle.

A Mars-Juno trine encourages us to be direct with one another early today. Our relationships strengthen as we share power and validate one another’s input and opinions. We act with more purpose and resolve but also have a strong awareness of other issues and others’ agendas, which is a powerful combination.

A Mercury-Mars semi-square, in play as the day advances, introduces some nervous tension or impatience into our communications and actions. We can quickly come up with ideas or retorts, but we can be a little jumpy and snappy under this influence.

If we succumb to the pressure to complete tasks quickly, we may be working under stressful or hectic conditions. It’s not an ideal transit for patience or listening skills. However, frustration could fuel our motivation to make a change.

As well, we head toward a Venus-Chiron trine, which is friendly for matters of intimacy or commitment. We’re open to learning from one another.

It’s not only a strong time for building trust in relationships and recognizing the potential in one another, but also a time when we’re clearer about what we value in material things and pastimes.
