If you’ve been going your own way, making a scene, and turning heads like it’s no big deal, it’s time to pivot to a calmer, smoother lane. From June 5th to July 4th, Venus returns to Taurus, one of its domiciles — aka a sign where it feels at home. The planet of love and beauty is the ruler of this fixed earth sign, where connections and creative pursuits are way less messy. After Venus’ bumpier transit through Aries, we’ll be swapping “oops” and “eek” for “ooh” and “aah.”
Venus in Taurus adores the good life, and it teaches us that we’re never too hard-working or important to indulge in simple pleasures and pencil in some R & R. So ready those luxe face masks, plush pajamas, and gourmet cheese platters. Over the next few weeks, have fun taking your sweet time. Plan a DIY spa day with your loved ones. Say yes to extra cherries and whipped cream on that sundae. Enjoy a slow afternoon in the sunshine. Why not? There’s no harm in accepting the spoonfuls of honey on offer all around you.
And/but/also: Venus in Taurus can sometimes lean too far into what’s cozy. Don’t let the lure of comfort prevent you from leaving the house or exploring the unknown. Are you actually too busy to hang out, or have you let the need for “radical rest” become an excuse to keep hiding in your blanket fort? Instead of bed-rotting all day, tuck away your phone and get outside. You don’t need 24/7 beauty sleep, and the world won’t stop turning if you go offline and touch grass for a bit. Venus in Taurus is here to remind you how powerful it can be to stay rooted in the present moment. In what your senses are showing you. In what lights you up IRL. And in the possibilities available to you in the here and now.
This year, and into 2022, Venus wanders through the bedrock, gulleys, and ravines of Capricorn. No rock will be left unturned, or cavesystem left unexplored, as Venus’ retrograde gets to the marrow of our deepest desires in love, partnership, pleasure, money, and everything we value. As in Inanna’s passage into the Underworld, we may be asked to shed an adornment at each gate.
Before its retrograde, Venus squares Chiron on November 15th, encouraging us to dig, excavate, and scrape away in the dark until we tap the real pay-streak: the gold in our relationships that never devalues, and the immaterial riches of the soul, more priceless yet.
Venus’ trine to Uranus on November 18th/19th reaffirms the breakthroughs of striking out from the crowd (or more mundane distractions) to undertake this private and often lonely journey. We realize that our individuality itself is at stake, as we sift through the sediment of the ego, and everything that’s petrified through unconscious fears.
On December 11th Venus conjoins Pluto, and we find ourselves in the throne room of Hades himself, just a few days before Venus officially stations retrograde on December 19th. Before we can take this process deeper, we will have to be willing to burn our desires, relationships, and value systems down to their essence. What remains will be in service of our personal power and evolution — the rest will float away as the lightest ash.
As Venus turns this corner and begins its ascent, a final sextile to Neptune on January 5th will bring an inrush of inspiration, or even a creative outlet for processing everything that was stripped away. On January 29th, Venus stations direct, and whatever turned to ash in the earth’s core hearth needn’t haunt us again. We are changed, irrevocably, and thank Goddess for that.
This is the same terrain of Capricorn that Venus retrograded through at the end of 2013 and the beginning of 2014. As you read your horoscope, think back to that time to see if any recurring themes are vying for your attention. Consider also how much you’ve grown in the past 8 years when it comes to working through these issues and connective tissues.
Before Venus goes retrograde, it squares Chiron on November 15th, and you may have to reckon with the splinters of imposter syndrome, or inadequacy, in terms of your life direction.
The chick chipping away at its shell in complete darkness does not know there’s a wider world outside — but it will not accept its vessel as the universe either. It just keeps struggling against its walls, until the miracle of that single strike that lets the light in.
Trust in the path of your persistence. On November 18th/19th, you may receive that long-awaited breakthrough.
This feeling of exposure is informed by a much longer process of Pluto stripping your career down to its bones since 2008. You have had to decide what structures can be salvaged, and the ones that no longer bear the weight of your evolving professional ambitions.
Right now, you crave a life path that reflects the raw and authentic you — your inner maverick as well as healer. In fact, your new career may spring from these very wounds, as you have much to teach the collective about feeling the fear and taking the leap of faith anyway.
When Inanna ventured into the underworld, she sloughed away an adornment at each gate. You may need to sacrifice a laurel crown, or some token of professional pride, as you excavate the vocational path that will make your soul sing.
As Venus sextiles Neptune on November 30th and January 5th, remember to shelter in subterranean grottoes along the way, where you can rest and replenish your inspiration. There’s no rushing this process and you have ample time: your dream career only asks that you move toward it, no matter how slow.

As Venus’ extended stay in Capricorn encourages you to probe some of life’s deeper truths, you find yourself searching for a mystery tradition or wisdom path to help interpret the cryptic instructions of this time.
This search is tied to a longer process of rebelling against any constraints in your pursuit of individuation. On November 18th/19th, you may be tempted to touch that electrical fence. Anything that’s stymied your subversive streak may meet the business end of your horns, too. If these complicated times demand a new perspective, you’re leading your band of rebels along the cutting edge.
But first, you hit the books. A survey approach won’t satisfy your thirst right now; you prefer to tunnel into a single subject, seeking the marrow of fundamental truths. Choose your rabbit holes well, as there’s no saying how far you’ll fall once you start investigating.
Ultimately, you’re in the process of bridging your values and desires within the context of a broader cosmology or myth. These tethers will help keep you grounded through the unapologetic rebirthing of you.

Venus’ retrograde through Capricorn will retrace the steps of a much longer unfolding regarding a grief process, as well as the complexity of merging resources with another.
You might feel called to sift through these ancient fetters and investigate how they have sculpted your values, relationships, and income streams. Though this is not comfortable territory to retread, you appreciate the emotional astuteness and inner strength this initiation has gifted you.
In the past years, you have had no choice but to learn to bear your sorrows well, and to reframe suffering as a sacred part of the human condition — something that reminds you of your humanity (and tethers you to all humans who have loved and lost).
You may have also had to reckon with the underbelly of sharing resources with another, and the subconscious fears, resentments, or power-struggles these entanglements can dredge up.
As you return to these underworld chambers, Venus’ sextiles to Neptune on November 30th and January 5th bring a current of inspiration flowing from your career, vocation, or professional world. The rush of a hidden mountain spring reminds you of the magic and synchronicity that has graced your life path when you surrender to uncertainty.
Let this sweet babble carry you through the shadows.

In the process of collaboration, or braiding your life with another, shared jokes, stories, and rough patches shape you both. The way your life has pressed into another leaves a permanent mark. The notches and divots of this edge may feel tender while Venus passes (and repasses) through Capricorn.
In quantum physics, particles that linger with each other long enough transfer energy, and are entangled forever — permanently altered. With Venus’ underworld descent, you might be considering how a significant partnership has changed the course of your life forever, and the agency you have in deciding where to direct that energy in the future.
It’s a potent threshold, which may see your crab claws in a vice-grip of resistance — but you have time to let the waves of these deep feels wash through you. Even if a relationship has run its course, or is in a murkier state of decay, the energy released by the composting is yours to redirect.
As Venus sextiles Neptune on November 30th and January 5th, a wisdom tradition, or the many myths of descent themselves, stir your imagination and offer a frame for the creative alchemy available at this time.

Venus’ subterranean descent unfolds in the workshop section of your chart, as you put your tools aside for a moment and ponder some deeper questions. How does your work define you (and how does it not)? If the 9 to 5 comprises a generous swathe of your life, how could this time be as soul-edifying as possible?
Plugging into a much longer process of transforming your approaches to hard work and health, you might see the ways your toiling informs your relationships, your income streams, and your values.
If the daily grind has worn away at your capacity to connect, or indulge in life’s pleasures, you might be seeking to redress those imbalances now. Conversely, if you’ve been wedded to a workaholic mentality — connecting exhaustion to your value as an employee, business owner, aristan, or creatrix — now is the time to get to the emotional pith of such attachments.
Within this excavation, you reconnect with the pleasure of creation itself, and the satisfaction of losing yourself in a working flow. As Venus trines Uranus on November 18th/19th, what has been a labor of love may spark into a larger career arc if you’re willing to risk the public’s appraisal.
Since Uranus entered Taurus in 2018, upheavals have rocked the vocational peaks of your chart. Pay attention to the side hustle that may be evolving into something with lasting momentum. You might be surprised at the wider appetite for the futurist fruits of your labor.

There’s a surprising connection between sensual delights and awareness of our mortality. Mirth and merry-making remind us of the brevity of our time here among these earthly delights. There is profundity in ‘indulging’ pursuits that are not for any specific outcome except a good time.
This descent of Venus through the cave networks of Capricorn may see you exploring the deeper impulses of play: the submerged politics of our relationships that can be revealed in a rousing night of Pictionary, or frisking the Scrabble tiles.
Around December 11th, you may be surprised by the resentments that surface, or the fault-lines in relationships that are exposed. Perhaps there is the revelation of the secret board-tipper inside you, or the primadonna who lingers with the karaoke mike. Parts of you repressed through the adulting of daily life may emerge, hungry, within the confines of not so trivial pursuits.
Let them.
A broader question is how to integrate these unclaimed facets of yourself into your wider life. How do you address the revelation of deeper tensions in a relationship after the masks have been lowered? Perhaps it’s time to finally roll this dice.

Venus’ search for secret mountain springs will hit the bedrock of your chart, leading you to excavate the ancestral stories, arts, traditions, and sorrows (as well as joys) that inform your sense of rootedness.
Even if a family secret or two is dislodged as you turn over these stones, the process has been a long time coming. In fact, this excavation will empower you to choose which of these lineages you carry forward, and the familial wells that have become stagnant — or even septic — and not worth drinking from again.
Trauma can wage a strange inertia through our bloodlines or chosen family matrices. Venus’ journey retrograde may pull your focus to the habits, addictions, or limiting behaviors that have fossilized through this passing down. When is it time to take your stick of dynamite, and blast through these time-worn walls?
Of course, you may be sifting through the bones of more joyful inheritances. Perhaps you find yourself communing with the spirits of your ancestors by learning a lullaby your grandparent sang, or finally trying the family recipe for a hearty brew or broth.
As Venus sextiles Neptune on November 30th and January 5th, this process may also renew your faith in significant relationships outside of your chosen family. As you start to claim a fount of home within yourself, this takes the pressure off your nearest and dearest.
Especially as you sever yourself from disappointments in early care-giving, you’re less likely to return to the sites of these wounds in friends, lovers, and collaborators. You can drop the stones of new joys, triumphs and stories into these ancestral waters and redirect even the strongest current.

As Venus passes through Capricorn, you gain a better understanding of the unconscious parts of you revealed in Freudian slips, omissions, and even your top ten emojis.
Often it’s what you choose to withhold that reveals your true agenda, even if your poker face is flawless. You are no stranger to letting your silence fill the room like squid ink, trusting your presence to speak the volumes you’d rather not disclose.
You might be wondering now if your communication style serves, or if it’s actually driving a wedge between you and your loved ones, co-workers, and friends. There are ways of delivering a compliment that has a ring of truth, rather than feeling like a social formality.
As you descend deeper through the sediment layers of your mind, you might pinpoint the refrains that shaped you in childhood, which no longer serve the person you are today.
On December 11th, as Venus conjuncts Pluto, your word spells are particularly potent, so use your power wisely. You also might be tempted to drop a sizzling exposee, or speak truth to power on social issues — just make sure your mic-drop is rooted in integrity and that you’re willing to sift through the consequences.
Remember that self-compassion can become as habitual as the self-criticism you reach for in moments of stress. You are free to draft the blue-prints for a way of communicating (to yourself and others) that’s kind and gracious — without being patronizing. Trust yourself to find the balance.

Venus’ descent into the depths of Hades will see you sifting through your checks and balances, spending habits, as well as more primal emotions around safety, security, and self-worth.
Perhaps there’s something here that needs to be restructured or dismantled altogether in your money stories. As you pull a Jenga block out here, you sense another part of your tower wobbling there. What would you rebuild if this monolith collapsed?
Money has a way of absorbing some of our most intense emotions: shame, hunger, guilt, vanity. When was the last time you did a psychological inventory of your attitudes toward wealth, and the origins of these feelings?
As Venus sextiles Neptune on November 30th and January 5th, a return to your ancestral lands, or a conversation with your chosen family, might bring some inspiration as you dig into these petrified layers.
Currency is energy like anything else. When it gets stuck, sometimes all you need is a shift of perspective to get it flowing again. We may need to fake it until we make it, but the planets take notes when we carry ourselves in an ethos of abundance. If the goldfish grows to fit its container, are you ready to blow this puddle and dive into the wild depths of a lake?
Around November 18th/19th, the shallows of scarcity mentality will wear especially thin, and you may just find the audacity to risk those deeper fathoms.

With Venus cave-diving into the deepest ravines of your sign, you will be gifted with an opportunity to do some excavating into your own sense of self. With Venus sextiling Neptune on November 30th and January 5th, you might find journaling, or a letter addressed to your higher self, as worthy containers for the magic implicit in this surrender.
On the threshold of budding new wings, you still feel like larval goo as you pour yourself into the shapes of different identities, to see which will stick. There’s freedom in this shape-shifting, if you can move through the vulnerability this process triggers.
In fact, this transformation of your identity has been a slow burn for the past several years, since Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008, but Venus’ travels here will ground this process in your relationships, values, and connection to pleasure. These more inward tectonic shifts will be made manifest in the ways your relationships are mutating: fault-lines will be revealed in the entanglements that no longer serve your quest for individuation.
No matter what the future holds, you are asked to loosen your grasp on relationships of all stripes, and to trust that you will be so much lighter without fair-weather friends. The people that deserve your attention are not afraid of the power you’re stepping into.

Venus’ retrograde through Capricorn unfolds in the most hidden chambers of your chart. What is already a subterranean descent will initiate you into invisible processes that precede language — an unfolding which requires deep rest, eye masks, sound baths, and idle moments away from prying eyes (or Instagram notifications).
Are you ready to live part of your life unexamined? What private project requires a period of gestation, or the crimson glow of a darkroom? What images surface and surprise you as you let the alchemical process do its work?
Around November 18th/19th, upheavals around your roots and chosen family may inform this period of retreat. You are promised a soft landing, however, if you flow with, rather than resist, these tremors. If you’ve had to leave the nest (or if hatchlings are fluttering from your own), deep rest may be needed to process these foundational shifts.
Meanwhile, Venus’ sextiles to Neptune on November 30th and January 5th see a bubbling over of artistic inspiration as you sink deeper into your retreat: this may have you revisiting long buried talents. Try expressing yourself through paint, a slab of clay, photography, or dance. This landscape tends to retreat when you attempt to translate it into words.
If you’ve been resistant to rest, or if you’re experiencing subconscious fears around being alone with your thoughts, now is the time to register this discomfort and book that retreat anyway. You might discover unlikely camaraderie with the mythical monsters that lurk in your personal deep.

As Venus in Capricorn descends into the boiler rooms of Hades, you might sense the plates shifting beneath your communities, covens, and cohort. It may feel as if the deeper shifts in the culture are forcing people to pick sides.
As power imbalances surface within the group, or your collective endeavors, you might find yourself suddenly in the spotlight as a screening board for people’s projections.
Venus’ sextiles to Neptune on November 30th and January 5th, however, may also position you as a source of inspiration, as you seek a way to transcend pettier squabbles. You might even find yourself offering spiritual counsel to those who have been exiled from the group. Trust the impulse to forgive.
These ruptures will help you uncover the power that you can be in your community. If you’ve been engaged in a position of influence that’s not rooted in your deepest values, you might find this position falling away around December 11th — like a sheet of glacial ice suddenly sloughed into the sea.
You are the architect of your dreams. Though these visions latch onto a collective context, make sure that to ‘thine ownself’ you remain unflinchingly true.

After poring over the complexity of the ties that bind us, Venus dons its most comfy dungarees, and hits the spacious vistas of open roads. Less concerned with the alchemical (and sometimes harrowing) ways love breaks us down in Scorpio, Venus in Sagittarius wants to gather the myths, pop songs, and cosmologies that explain the endless expansion of the heart.
Within the headiness of Libra season, we are called to examine the stories we tell ourselves about everything we deeply value. We also have the opportunity to pinpoint the ways these narratives could be revised to welcome greater abundance.
We may break a few hearts along the way, as Venus in Sagittarius won’t tarry in any place too long, preferring to test their theories on lovers and kindred spirits in many ports. The Unbearable Low-Keyness of Venus in Sag may threaten some of our more possessive impulses in love, but there are fruitful lessons here in non-attachment, if we can take philosophical distance (and laugh at our blunders).
Armed with its dog-eared Choose Your Own Adventure paperback, Venus may be forced to settle on the next escapade with a little more discernment on October 13th, when Venus sextiles Saturn. Every adventure requires a visit from the wise old sage (or scientist), and Saturn provides helpful counsel, helping to define and conceptualize our Venusian desires.
October 26th may see our ardent seeker indulging in more transcendent connections, or pleasures, with the square to Neptune in Pisces. An insatiable hunger to bliss out, however, may see Venus waking up in another district of town — last night’s sequins and sliding face-paint more Picasso than Coachella.
Once the hangover subsides, Venus in Sagittarius cannot help but end its travels on a hopeful note (what, another silver lining?), as a sextile to Jupiter on October 28th reaffirms that love was never a finite resource, and every Motown song ever written is true.

The following horoscopes were written by Stephanie Warner.
Venus in Sagittarius’ spirit of adventure will open sublime panoramas of the mind, as you are lured down an esoteric rabbit hole (or two, or three). There will be a sweetening of your learning pursuits, and cute encounters between the stacks — but also an opportunity to be seduced by the pursuit of wisdom itself.
As you wax philosophical about love, connection, and the quantum entanglement of souls, you may brush against the edge of something a little more tender.
This is part of a longer unfolding in your willingness to air your raw and authentic self in relationships. Perhaps a wisdom tradition offers a generous new slant on the contractions of your rebirthing. Your wounds themselves become portals into deeper revelation.
During this intellectual buccaneering, it may be important to mark the trees along the way, so you can find your way back to familiar pastures. Your studies may plunge you, after all, into mind-bending mysteries that tease beyond the veil, as you bathe in quirks and quarks, and trip on the bliss of enlightenment.
Just make sure you keep your research questions sturdy, your argument watertight — when in doubt, sleep on it.

There’s a free-wheeling lightness to Venus in Sagittarius that may not always jive with your desire for more tactile and rooted connection. Nevertheless, the coming weeks offer an opportunity to use this sprightliness to make bounding strides in a healing journey.
Now is the time to take a multi-pronged approach to the dislodging of ghosts of sorrows past. Shooting the arrows of many therapies into the sky, you may be surprised at what seemingly off-the-wall method lands.
A stream of abundance is also coming through in bank loans, credit lines, and lending agencies. If you’ve been dreaming of an expansive new career, or life direction, but haven’t had the means to fund this, now may be the time to explore your options in terms of the universes’ starry coffers.
If you can get crystal clear about your vocational vision, and the first steps, you may find yourself delighted by your ease in lassoing monetary support.

As you continue to meditate on the meaning of life in your monk’s cave, you may find yourself yearning for the comforts of society again.
It’s been lonely wrangling citations and building worlds out of thin air in your sci-fi opus. Now you crave the learning that percolates in conversation, as your theories are tested against the experiential reality of another. Though waxing philosophical sounds lofty, there’s sure to be a flirtier subtext too.
The open questions trailing from your closest relationships may spill over into your career, and vocational pursuits. This is part of a much longer surrender to the wild wending of your life’s direction. The path ahead has not always been clear: the fog horns blare and you prepare yourself for another spell of disillusionment about your ‘dream’ career.
An offhand remark from your bestie, or first date, may have you questioning your place in the world. Some of this feedback may be useful in defining who you want to be when you grow up, but it’s important to remember that these outside perspectives are not rooted in your lived reality.
Your life path may seem bewildering to those with a lower threshold for mystery, but there is magic in not knowing where you’ll be in five years. Trust the synchronicity that brought you here.

Venus in Sagittarius has a way of bringing cheerful spontaneity to your work rhythms and rituals of self care. You slip bird of paradise blooms into a vase on your desk and find breaks to forest-bathe, or just bask in the sun.
You know things could flow more smoothly in your daily work routines, and you throw the kitchen sink at it now, cycling through different operating systems, time-hacks, training modules, and tools of the trade with a gusto that amazes all.
This time also sweetens relationships with your colleagues, as something about the coziness of your workplace brings out your goofier side. You may even be entertaining thoughts of a junket that will allow you to rub elbows with people from all over the world.
The mysteries of a healing journey continue to haunt in idle moments, and no amount of hustle will defer this deeply necessary (though not always comfortable) process.
Nevertheless, you may find sweet support now in the balm of a hard day’s work. There’s comfort in being of use, and spiritual satisfaction in a job well done; this honing of your more practical skills may spill over into the elbow grease you’re willing to put into your emotional world. Your mental health journey, like your work day, can be parceled into manageable steps.

The season of foliage change sees a new swagger as you prowl the pumpkin patch — or window box of petunias. Wide vistas and frontiers of pleasure open in your life now, and your main issue is finding ways to flit between every gallery opening, Zoom dance party, tango class, and spooky soiree. What a lovely problem to have.
If you’re of the Halloween inclination, you will delight in putting a costume together, last minute, that still manages to win best dressed. Oh this old thing?
These worldly delights inform a longer unfolding in the abundance you seek in your closest relationships now, and your need to define exactly what this looks like (and doesn’t). Perhaps the wild and raucous side of yourself, which comes out during charades, could be brought to your more intimate entanglements too.
What if you and your bestie, or paramour, blew this popsicle stand? You may find that a pleasure-trip or a staycation allows you and a significant other to deepen your bonds, affirm your commitment to mutual growth, and crystallize exactly what is needed for the relationship to thrive — in lean times, as well as lush.

The season of swaying scales sweetens matters at home. You crave cozy nights in with your chosen family, to pontificate about life, the universe and everything in-between over cups of hibiscus tea. The artistry of ancestral traditions, and talismans, seduce you in the coming weeks and bring deep comfort.
As the belly laughs flow at home and hearth, the comfiness of it all may trigger an uncertainty you’ve felt around partnership. Perhaps a yearning to enmesh your paramours with the sturdiness of your home life surfaces now. This is part of a much longer unfolding, as certain relationships shape-shift and your head spins trying to find new vessels to contain them.
Sharing your life with another may require surrender to uncertainty for now. However, this also buys you time to get clear about what you need for your relationships to be mutually beneficial, rather than a drain. Make sure that garlic is all but spilling from your pockets as Halloween approaches, as energy vamps will be on the prowl.
As you weave elaborate stories around an elusive entanglement, what if you redirected that imaginative power to envision exactly the friend or lover you need to be to yourself in order to keep the home fires of your heart burning?
Venus in Sagittarius tends to dial up your xoxoxo’s, and heart eye emojis, as you spread wildfires of delight through your communicative channels. You also have a way of delivering a compliment that has the ring of truth and makes its recipient feel witnessed in the wider context of the world — even the cosmos.
You gas people up, yes, but it comes from a place that’s genuine and laser-focused on their flourishing. Trust this gift.
Conversely, you may bristle now at any dulcet tones that feel disingenuous or betray a thinly veiled agenda (especially in the workplace). Flirting is something of a philosophy for you — a way of exploring the freedom of your social ties and expanding beyond the bounds of polite society.
We all delight in being seduced by a universal truth through the artful rhythms of oration. The question is where to apply your considerable gift of the gab: which walls do you want to coax down with your talent for spinning a mesmerizing tale?
This all may plug into a longer process of crystallizing your visions of pleasure, Eros, and the good life. Perhaps it’s you who needs to be persuaded to demarcate more time for worldly delights? When was the last time you turned your famous pampering on yourself?

As the season pivots around you, your thoughts naturally drift to your resources, your balance book, and your checking account. Abundance may be streaming in from multiple sources, and it’s up to you to cast your net wide enough to catch what’s falling from bending branches.
These riches may be more deeply felt, too: it’s easy for you to take a philosophical distance when it comes to your self-worth, but something reminds you to nourish those parts of yourself too.
This might be feeding into a longer journey you’ve been on around consolidating your roots, and defining who belongs in your most private bunker. It will be obvious now the people who make you feel warm and safe, or the ones for whom you provide steady shelter. You’re monogramming towels for your ride-or-dies as we speak.
Perhaps a hidden talent is being unearthed by the encouragement of your chosen family — you begin to monetize your wood burnings, or publish your satirical sketches. Whatever it is that lights a bonfire in your belly, make sure to offer thanks.

Sometimes the vibes are simply in our favor. Now is the time to bask in everything coming hither and thither. Who is pulling up a stump at your fire? What do you attract into your field when you trust the bow-string tension of your delight? As you rove your environs, panpipes in hand, woodland creatures trailing behind — what will you do with these weeks of good press?
This season of flattering lighting might lead to deeper questions, however, around your roots. As you coast, again, on the sheer force of your optimism, when does the drift prevent you from sturdier anchorage? When does your famous charm, which could allow you to surf couches forever if you let it, start to feel like a strain?
This uncertainty plugs into a longer process of foundations in your life shifting, or in a state of natural decline. Fog patches have obscured, for a while now, where you want to hang your hat and who will ride with you into your endless silver linings.
The challenge will be clarifying exactly the anchorage that will support your personal growth right now. Choosing what’s built to last, and what will provide steady rooting, among this embarrassment of riches is your task in the weeks ahead.

Matters of love and connection may feel elusive now, as if seen through a dark glass. Lovers slip through your fingers like water, or a friendship is shape-shifting in ways you don’t have words for yet.
Secret liaisons and indulgences kindle your passionate side, though care must be taken that liminal entanglements don’t compromise your self-worth, or your pocket book (and you have worked very hard indeed on both).
Perhaps you simply need more time than usual to recharge your cha-cha batteries: three naps for every night out you attend.
The weeks ahead, however, could provide the opportunity to fall in love with the spaciousness of your solitude and repose. Rest stops and private time could be the portal to forays through the collective unconscious. There is treasure to be discovered here, which could bring magical inspiration to a writing project (or inspire fruitful private journaling).
You might also find that a wild and restless part of yourself is waiting to be claimed in that cabin retreat in the woods, or a more personal inner sanctum. What parts of you come to life in spaces beyond prying eyes or the digital box of mirrors? In what ways is privacy itself an increasingly forbidden (and delightful) fruit?

Though your first approach to life can be sober, and your resting mode more aloof, there’s a wild and raucous side of you that comes out within the group. The next few weeks may shower you with delightful opportunities to let your freak flag fly with other misfit toys and merry rebels.
In fact, your networks may provide a soft landing, as you continue to carve the authentic ‘you’ out of raw stone. In some ways it’s easier to surrender to hundreds of unknown hands when you crowd surf, than pledge your unfinished masterpiece to the appraisal of a single person. What are these collective enfoldings teaching you about trusting yourself too?
This longer process of self-discovery has been as much about deletion as deliberate marks, as you’ve been made aware of the people, places, and things that will not support the long game of individuation: your potential dwells in the negative-space. For now, you reveal yourself in everything you’ve stripped away — the only person at the punk show in a crisp white t-shirt and pressed chinos.
Just be wary of using the hive-mind, and this moment of collective hedonism, as an escape valve. Don’t forget to nourish your body between the half-dozen Halloween parties you RSVPed. As much as you’re playing hype-person for your community, you can also gas up yourself, and celebrate your many transcendent talents.

Venus in Sagittarius graces the rarefied heights of your chart, and you may find yourself fitted with a laurel crown or two. Higher ups are suddenly all ears for your most audacious visions, and you may be reaping the benefits of your kindness to an important figure in your field: it really is the people you know.
Just make sure you stay grounded in your truth, and personal vision, as the big whales circle, and your collective offerings start to make waves.
This moment of public accolades may connect to a longer unfolding in the way you present yourself to the world. You cannot help but embody the imagination, artistry, glamour, and transcendence flowing effortlessly through you now, and this renaissance of the self has informed your life direction.
All worldly success, however, turns to ashes if you’re not scheduling in ample time to rest, and absorb all the change on a cellular (and energetic) level. Naps, private time, and calculated retreats from the public eye will be the secret to your long-term (and sustainable) success.

Venus in Leo is sass and sequin, bravado and big hair, grace and grandiloquence. This season though? Venus’ strut through Leo from June 26th/27th to July 21st has the air of a boxing ring walk.
With draconian Saturn in Aquarius, flag-burning Uranus in Taurus, and aggressively-maned Mars in Leo, the fixed signs are the site of a major gridlock. When Venus waltzes into the fray at the end of June, it’s not clear whether the “lesser benefic” comes bearing bandaids or boxing gloves.
On the one hand, Venus wants to soothe and reconcile. On the other: between Venus’ opposition to Saturn on July 6th, its square to Uranus on July 8th, and its conjunction with Mars on July 13th, Venus has its own fetters to wriggle free from. In a proud sign like Leo, hitched to an inflamed temper like Mars, Venus sets off a few fireworks.
Venus rules love, pleasure and beauty, and these parts of your life could get thorny as Venus presses through these trials. Ego reactions and diva moments will abound, but they may not help diffuse tension. When it comes to your relations, your art, and your pleasures, see if you can harness this heat toward constructive or life-affirming channels.
The following horoscopes highlight how Venus in Leo will bestow bottle rockets and roses in your own life. For more on Venus in the sky, and in your chart, download the CHANI app.

Venus in Leo beams the Glamlite on you and your creative quests. ‘Tis the season to post lip-syncing TikToks, to dust the cobwebs off your manuscripts-in-progress, and to boogie like a Bird of Paradise in a courtship dance.
With Venus pitching into the fixed-sign fray with Saturn, Uranus and Mars, however, you may need to don your wrestling singlet. While Venus’ opposition to Saturn on July 6th brings activities to a crunching halt, the tripwire from Uranus two days later will upend business as usual.
Mars in Leo will add heckling and lighter fluid, and when Venus joins the red planet on July 13th, things could get flammable. (Though in your house of pleasure, this heat might be steamily redirected.)
Expect creative blocks; expect lovers’ squabbles; expect bombast, and expect to blaze through anything holding you back.
As Venus smolders into Leo on June 26th/27th, your ruling planet gets rebranded. The grace-spinning, rose-plucking, chocolate-nibbling paramour of the solar system swaps its pearls for a marabou boa. Venus in Leo doesn’t do understatement — especially not while dancing in the crosshairs with Mars, Saturn and Uranus.
While Leo may bring a light touch (and touch of gloss) to family or home matters, things could get sticky around July 6th, when Venus opposes schoolmarm Saturn in your career sector.
Maybe a boss is breathing down your neck, or maybe you’re frothing with your own urgency of what needs to get done. Work and home demands could feel inimical right now, stretching you in opposite directions.
When Venus squares off with Uranus two days later, there’s a chance you’ll want to smash through any barriers or glass ceilings keeping you stuck. While you’ve likely been experiencing this rebel energy for a while, Venus in Leo will lend you the sass and spunk to launch your own pièces de résistance.
Venus cruises Leo from June 26th/27th to July 21st, blazing your news feeds with all the hottest gossip. Whatever writing, speaking or learning ventures you tend on the side, Venus polishes your words with gold-tongued charisma.
Starting around July 6th, Venus saunters into the ring with Saturn, Uranus and Mars in the fixed signs. Not just there for eye candy, Venus blows gold dust and chili powder onto the melee. On the one hand, your exchanges may need this comic relief. On the other: words remain charged and barbed.
Whatever spikes get exposed in your communications, Venus wears them on a leather collar. The words you hurl will linger after the smoke clears; be judicious about which social media bin fires you wade into.
The planet of love and adornment will flame through Leo from June 26th/27th until July 21st, dusting off your costume jewelry and gold trinkets. Leo represents your treasure chest and piggy bank: the corner of your chart where you earn and splurge.
Under normal circumstances, Venus wants you to treat yourself with all the sparkle and splendor you can rationalize to your monthly budget. This season though, the circumstances are far from “normal.”
Starting around July 6th, Venus will surf into the turbulence of Mars, Saturn and Uranus in fixed signs. This is Part II of this year’s gnarliest astrology, and Venus arrives at the ring, wrists taped and ready to rumble. For you, the fracas could manifest as tension between what’s yours and what you share with other people.
Venus will collude with hot-headed Mars on July 13th, goading you to roll high. Meanwhile Saturn, the IRS auditor of the season, glowers from the other side of the sky. Risks could come with a hefty reality check. This is a time to dream wild, but sleep on any major decisions, especially if they concern your savings.
While the sun is always your greatest accessory, the glow that surrounds you just got more honeyed. From June 26th/27th – July 21st, Venus will swan through Leo, fluffing your mane or peacock feathers. ‘Tis the season to play dress-up, take selfies as a devotional act, and get shameless with your adornments.
However, this isn’t your usual golden hour. Starting around July 6th, Venus will slip into the scrimmage between Mars, Saturn and Uranus in fixed signs. On the one hand, Venus may offer an analgesic balm for the bruises garnered so far. On the other: Venus in Leo is no demure damsel, and that balm may turn to habanero sauce.
As Venus and Mars intertwine around July 13th, you are the throne of significant heat. Watch your ego reactions, especially in dynamics you share with others. With the current astrology, you can expect your crown to get jostled. The test is to respond with tact, if also firmness. Compassion, if luminous self-respect.
From June 26th/27th until July 21st, Venus pussyfoots through the corner of your chart you tend to keep shielded behind a silk screen. Venus in Leo is effulgent, slinking up to the party in cat eyes and gold lamé. For you, the silk screen diffuses this Leo light, but it provides the ideal conditions for shadow play.
The fixed signs have been highly charged of late, and while this tension reaches your chart from off-center, the pressure could have you tossing and turning. On the one hand, Venus offers a soothing ointment, hushing the inner static long enough for you to catch a catnap. On the other, Venus may reach the end of this period with its mane extensions singed.
The thoughts churned up likely stem from your own mechanisms of self-interference, rather than your environment. That doesn’t make the turbulence any easier to subdue, but self-flagellating only worsens the problem.
Instead, get regal about your personal care regime. Pamper yourself. Neutralize the unhelpful thoughts with radical acts of self-love.
Venus mooches into Leo from June 26th/27th to July 21st, spattering honey and hot sauce onto your friendships and community dynamics. Venus in Leo tends to favor flash over self-effacement, and this could be a time to make a statement with friends, showing up to the parade or protest with extravagant papier-mâché props.
While the dress code for Venus in Leo is always Fabulous, this season, Venus dons a cape and superhero spandex. The first showdown will be with straitlaced Saturn around July 6th, instilling friction between your personal pleasures and the ways you connect with your covens and social groups.
When Venus catches up to Mars on July 13th, dynamics with friends could feel extra prickly. Tread gently around this time. Be soft to yourself and other people. Sometimes thorns only exist to protect things of great beauty; consider the rose, for example.
Venus will shimmy into Leo on June 26th/27th, adding both grace and gumption to your professional life. When it comes to balancing career with home and relationships, you may feel like you’re dancing on pigeon spikes. While Venus will lend you radiance, drawing others to your glow, the fixed signs remain a site of turbulence.
These growing pains will recur all year, but they could feel pronounced around July 6th when Venus opposes Saturn. If presented with a choice between pleasure and duty, or pride and humility, consider whether this dichotomy is a false one.
You’ll have to make choices, of course, but this is only Part II of an ongoing story. Preserve your energy. Mete out your trail mix and dehydrated stew packets for the months ahead. But also: don’t be ashamed to satisfy your needs in the current moment.
Venus flashes into Leo on June 26th/27th, lighting sparklers in the corner of your chart that rules intellectual expansion. Whether you’re sharing ideas with friends, mentors, or academic committees, Venus sprays a little splash and sparkle on your presentations, goading you to flaunt your knowledge.
Venus represents the principle of attraction, and in ordinary circumstances, this transit may lure new teachers, traditions or adventures from the gold mosaic. All of this remains possible, but your relationship with wisdom traditions, and their keepers, is going through a trial by fire at the moment.
Bombast will be pervasive and highly contagious. Ask subversive questions, but remember to apply the same healthy skepticism to your own adamant beliefs.
On June 26th/27th, Venus slides into Leo, gilding your collaborations and joint-ventures. Taken on its own, Venus sweetens the deals in this area, offering a gold nib fountain pen for you to sign on dotted lines. However, planets don’t tend to operate on their own.
Venus’ tour through Leo will be studded with interference from Mars, Saturn and Uranus in the fixed signs. Around July 6th, your urge to hitch yourself to another person in love or business may stir up old fears around scarcity or independence.
Committing yourself to a union requires you to relinquish some personal freedom. If you’ve learned self-reliance as a mode of self-defense, trusting someone else with your love, resources, or security, can feel sacrificial.
And it is, in a way. But it’s also the birth of something new. Something shared. Something you can’t control. Like a rare-blooming orchid that sprouts under the most finicky conditions, that vulnerability is what makes it so precious.
Venus enters Leo on June 26th/27th, planting sunflowers in the corner of your chart that rules love and besottedness. Now, Venus is no doe-eyed princess — not in Leo, and not with Saturn, Mars and Uranus duking it out from the fixed signs.
Starting with an opposition to Saturn on July 6th, Venus appears ringside with a quiver of arrows. The question remains: are the arrowheads laced with love potion or poison?
As Venus sidles up to Mars on July 13th, it could be a little of both. On the one hand, dynamics could get steamy between you and your paramours. On the other: you’ll need to practice fire safety to avoid spontaneous combustions.
All this applies to your platonic and professional partnerships too. If your accomplices feel a little testy right now, don’t force the issue. The most compassionate response may be to give each other thick margins of space.
Venus scooches into Leo on June 26th/27th, reminding you to add pleasure to your work and health regimes. With Mars also in Leo for the last few weeks, a fire has been kindled under your rump, propelling you to complete your daily tasks.
Whatever deadlines you’re bumping against, you may feel unceremonious urgency, even if you’re not sure where the momentum is headed. Venus reminds you to take that movement break, to snack on something that brightens your tongue, and to adorn your office with flowers or cheering colors.
This season, Venus will need your help. Caught between a despotic mountain goat and an unruly cannon, the planet of love and pleasure has seen better hair days. Anxious or fearful thinking could get activated at this time, and it will be harder (and all the more crucial) to practice self-care.
To interrupt the pattern: pamper yourself relentlessly. Have a stay-at-home spa day. Eat something ambrosial. Wear fabrics or ensembles that make you feel like a god/dess.
