LIBRA (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
Beware gifts, favors, and any generous offer made during the time that Ruling Planet Venus is retrograde because chances are it will turn into the bane of your existence. It won’t be easy saying no to these sorts of things, but you’ll be glad you did. You don’t need the unforeseen aggravation these perks will bring nor the hidden pitfalls that lie in store. One should never take a planet at face value when it’s traveling backwards in the sky and that’s especially true of Venus. Think of it as a diet. The sacrifices you make now can only improve your figure, willpower, and self-confidence.
