General Daily Overview
The Moon is in emotionally diffusive Pisces today, reminding us that we can be compassionate without playing the role of victim. When we open our hearts to the suffering of others, it can be difficult to maintain personal boundaries. Now, however, with loving Venus in practical and careful Virgo until August 16th, we are better equipped to stay focused within our predefined limits. This represents a time to make choices about what we like and what we don't like. Remember, with Venus in Virgo, it surely is okay to be picky.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Giving yourself permission to be critical now is an important step for you. As much as you like to be enthusiastic, you cannot encourage everyone to like everything. This focus of attention can have profound impact on your job if you limit your daily routine to what needs to be done. Success may require you to eliminate unnecessary distractions.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Your key planet, Venus, is in Virgo until mid-August. During this phase your love life can assume an easy and down-to-earth style. You could even receive what you most desire, but you must be specific when you verbalize your needs. Don't expend energy dreaming of things you cannot have. Your focus will be rewarded.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Conflicts within the family can arise from a failure to accurately communicate your complex desires. On one hand, you like the dance of engagement, drawing others into your conversations. But now, with Venus in Virgo, you narrow your vision and eliminate excess noise. Excluding those close to you won't necessarily make the problems go away. Take extra care to say what's on your mind, for Mercury retrograde until mid-August can add to the misunderstanding.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
You have become very critical about who you let into your heart. It's important to make decisions that are based upon your desire to love rather than on the fear that can creep into your life when you are unsure of the future. Trust your instincts, but when apprehension arises, find time for quiet reflection.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
If you've been responding well to the pressures of new responsibilities, you'll continue now to do okay. Life is never without some stress, so take time to regroup as the energies begin to cool slightly. Pay attention to the subtle shift and pull in around the edges of your desires. Save your fire for when you need it.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Venus, the planet of love and money, is currently in your sign until August 16th. You can concentrate your intent toward the fulfillment of your desires better during this phase than any other. This doesn't, however, mean that you'll get everything you want. But it does mean that focused intensity can bring an increase of pleasure -- including romance -- into your life.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Your ruling planet Venus has entered your 12th House of Secrets, indicating an unconscious attraction toward the hidden realms. You are being pulled into your dreams by an invisible string of desire. Listen to your inner voice when it talks to you about love. Social activities may diminish as your needs turn inward. Analysis and observation serve you well, but put off the big decisions until next month if you can.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
You are particularly attracted now to group interactions that may not carry the unrestrained intensity that often keeps you interested. This may be the result of a conscious decision to have less volatile relationships -- at least for now. Use your powerful emotional radar to suss out problems before they occur. Explore your peacemaker role as you move into the future.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Things have been going pretty smoothly, even if you've taken on serious commitments with planets moving through Leo, your fiery cousin. Now that Venus has shifted into Virgo in your 10th House of Career, you must find ways to balance your desire for self-fulfillment with the need to stay focused. Rewards will arrive at your doorstep if you attend to your professional duties with style.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
It's become more complicated for you to change your course of action as practicality now rules your roost. Even if you feel optimistic about your potential, you still must acknowledge your inherent need for caution. Originality can positively impact your calendar, freeing up more time than you thought possible. Use this extra time wisely to learn more about yourself and where you are heading.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
You are withholding your strongest feelings as something tells you this isn't the time to unleash an emotional flow. It's not that things are bad; it's just that you are receiving recurring flashes, reminders of what you don't want, rather than what you do. Don't try to make changes now. Just be aware of your desires as you wait for the right time to act.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
The next few weeks can throw you a very pleasant curve ball or two as Venus moves through your 7th House of Relationships. Even if you've been unfocused or lost, now you begin to see more clearly what you need from others, especially in love. Be open to the possibilities and your life will be enriched by others.
