Venus enters Virgo
Venus, planet of love and beauty, enters Virgo for a 3 ½ week stay. Venus always pumps up the powers of attraction of whatever zodiac sign she’s transiting through so you can expect lots of invites, offers, and introductions. Yet Venus has a hard time in Virgo because where most people would revel in the attention, you know that opportunities come with strings attached and you don’t want to feel beholden to anyone. Thankfully a Virgo Venus is a shrewd Venus. It comes from centuries of being cast as the virtuous maiden in the tale. Venus Virgos know better than to accept gifts from little old ladies bearing apples, spindles that mysteriously show up on your sixteenth birthday, or roses picked from gardens that belong to beastly owners. Examine all entreaties thoroughly and you will eventually separate the wheat from the chaff. There’s nothing wrong with being specific and discriminating – especially in this day and age. Venus will be in Virgo until October 13th. Signs most affected: Taurus, Virgo, Libra, and Capricorn
