Written in the Stars - Week of July 17

Neptune Opposite Venus — When the planet of dreams and illusions whispers to the planet of love and pleasure, we become more susceptible to outside influence, and prone to avoid discord at any cost. Be honest with yourself and others; don't capitulate to avoid conflict.


ARIES

March 21 — April 19

Your daily life is about to get a whole lot sweeter, Aries, with the planet of beauty and charm, Venus, moving into your House of Work and Routine. Suddenly, you're saying all the right things and meeting all the right people (carry business cards!) Your creativity is still getting a healthy boost from the planet of fortune and expansion, Jupiter, so it's a good time to inject more of your unique perspective into everything you do. Whether you make art, have stimulating conversations, or get outside and play, you'll be glad you did. 


TAURUS

April 20 — May 20

Passion is unavoidable this week, Taurus, so invoke your amazing powers of grounding — you'll need them. Your planetary ruler, Venus — the ruler of pleasure, beauty and charm — is moving into your House of Creativity, Play and Romance this week. But your ruler isn't known for her restraint, and she's making eyes at jubilant Jupiter, square Saturn, macho Mars and nebulous Neptune all at once, promising drama, fun and powerful fireworks. Keep everything aboveboard and honest to make the most of this intense energy. 


GEMINI

May 21 — June 21

You've got more energy than ever to create the sort of life you want this week, Gemini. A crowd of planets is energizing the first quarter of your chart, where you establish your immediate sphere — so this is the time to organize your money, strategize your messages and strengthen your foundation. There could be sudden issues or minor arguments around your home or family — this is a time of transition for you in that area, but with the planet of love and pleasure, Venus, moving into your House of Home, it's going to be a good one. 


CANCER

June 22 — July 22

Conversation and communications of all kinds take center stage for you now, Cancer. Your House of Self is still packed with the planetary punch of the Sun, Mars and Mercury, imbuing you with confidence, passion and wit. Now the planet of charm and beauty, Venus, is moving into your House of Communication, indicating pleasurable exchanges, short trips and cheer. You'll be drawn to sweet talkers, and you'll have a bit of a silver tongue yourself. Leave room in your life for short trips and new information. It benefits you now. 

LEO

July 23 — Aug. 22

Have you got an effective reward system working in your life, Leo? Do you treat yourself to a movie, book, brownie, manicure, or other positive re-enforcement when you get things done? The planet of sweetness and sensuality, Venus, is moving into your House of Money and Resources, indicating that you could secure yourself a better lifestyle if you make pleasure part of your plan. Put in the hard work that you've undertaken so joyfully, your life's work, and make sure to keep a very sweet carrot on the end of your stick. 


VIRGO

Aug. 23 — Sept. 22

Looking good, Virgo! The planet of charm and beauty, Venus, enters your House of Self this week, enhancing your physical attractiveness and your personality, drawing others to you. Watch that your sparks don't set off a wildfire — Venus is generating a lot of heat and tension with serious Saturn, macho Mars, nebulous Neptune and jovial Jupiter all at once. So don't be surprised if you're approached by a lot of suitors, or made a lot of offers. You crave more pleasure than usual now; just enjoy yourself with the right crowd.


LIBRA

Sept. 23 — Oct. 22

A graduation is ahead for you, Libra. With so many planets crowded in the last quadrant of your chart, your stars forecast a level-up over the next couple of months, so expect to learn a lot now. Your stars' focus is on you reaching your potential — your chart indicates that you have a lot to offer, and have all the energy, wit and confidence to present it to the world. With Jupiter blessing your House of Allies with luck, the right people are available to help you. Go within, seek your wisdom and build. Then go forward boldly.


SCORPIO

Oct. 23 — Nov. 21

It's a good time to shake up your routine, Scorpio. Get out of your head when you're inclined to, this week. With serious Saturn plotting in your House of Self, you've been more focused and introverted lately, but the planet of pleasure, Venus, is moving into your House of Friends and Allies, promising an uptick in fun, socializing and making promising connections. You're being pushed out of your comfort zone for sure, but the things you learn now will help your broadcast the right message to get where you're going. 


SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22 — Dec. 21

Start schmoozing, Sagittarius. Venus is blessing your House of Career and Destiny with a hefty dose of charm, and with a trio of planets in your House of The Other, new investors and resources are forecast to manifest now. Your chart is supporting your aim to be truly yourself. This is not about speaking in a way that placates others — no, it's about using your natural, openhearted charm to convince others of what you already know to be true. You're ready to go; this is your chance to convince the powers-that-be to open the door for you. 


CAPRICORN

Dec. 22 — Jan. 19

Get out of your element this week, Capricorn. Pretty and pleasurable Venus is moving into your House of Journeys and Philosophy, giving you a taste for the exotic. You don't have to travel far, but you should do what you can to learn new things and expand your horizons. Your House of Partnerships continues to be energized by the sparks-fly trio of planets arguing within, so it's essential that you find your center and support it now. Hard to imagine strengthening your foundation while spreading your wings? You may surprise yourself. 



AQUARIUS

Jan. 20 — Feb. 18

You're normally quite cool, Aquarius, and known for your ability to hold the world at arm's length. This week, your objectivity may fail you, as the planet of love and beauty, Venus, moves into your House of The Other, creating a recipe for passion, power and deep intimacy. This is the house of depth, and union of opposites, so don't be surprised if you're confronted with temptation, heat and the promise of power. Inspiration is brewing in your House of Routine, so it's an ideal time to make positive changes to your habits. Don't hesitate.


PISCES

Feb. 19 — March 20

How is your balance, Pisces? This week you'll be challenged to keep working on yourself, your personal creative projects and goals despite an incredible push from Venus to focus on partners and close loved ones. That's not to say you shouldn't focus on others — cultivating and improving your relations will actually help you do the same for yourself. Good changes continue to flow into your life as you create a unique path for yourself that supports you. So, make time for partners who return the favor, but keep walking your own path.
