Venus goes into Capricorn

February 4 through March 1, 2011

Venus is associated with money, love and legal contracts. It is the patron planet of Taurus in its money phase and Libra is in its love and contract phase. Venus does not like passing through the sign of Capricorn because Capricorn restricts money and love. Internationally, we may see a restriction of money, which could mean certain currencies are devalued and we may see serious, practical attempts at diplomatic solving of the current world crisis.

However, I am a personal astrologer who loves to help you understand your world and I am available for your readings. For your personal reading, either a full year ahead or a quickie, please contact Patty. 

So what does this mean to you?

Let’s begin with Capricorn, who is enjoying Venus going through your sign. You are career or work oriented, and use your work as a source of satisfaction. Work should go smoothly as long as you are aware of a need for cooperation because of transiting Saturn. Saturn is traveling through the sign of Libra, which is in tension with Capricorn and could present tense, challenging work situations. Even though you may have spent a lot of time on a practical project that you think is useful, if you are challenged and don’t like it, be cooperative and it will go well. Being confrontational will backfire because Saturn is stronger. Your love life should be better with Venus going through your sign, again, if you are cooperative and are willing to give your loved one some personal time.

Taurus should be happy that love and money are both going quietly well. You may be pleased that what  your loved one wants have is combined with being practical and saving some money. Practical things bring satisfaction and your love life should be quietly satisfying.

Virgo may be happy that your loved one brings you a practical project that you can analyze and then execute to beautify your surroundings, which will bring you satisfaction. Your attention to detail is appreciated. Your love life should be quietly satisfying.

Aries may experience challenges because your loved one is busy working or is thinking about practical things and somewhat ignoring you. Your creative ideas may be challenged by those who want to apply the practical and frugal.

Gemini’s scintillating personality is not appreciated because your loved one is too busy either working or paying attention to the structure of the projects. You may have to adjust to less money to play with because you needed to pay for necessities.

Cancer experiences either opposition from your loved one or lack of companionship because of other pressing circumstances. You are sensitive; instead of taking it personally be compassionate to your loved one’s situation. You are experiencing challenges from Saturn in Libra, so your loved one’s circumstances stem from responsibilities that could exclude you and are not personal, or perhaps you have responsibilities that prevent close companionship. Concentrate on the realities of your relationship and be responsible in your response.

Leo needs to adjust to a perceived lack of appreciation and admiration because your loved one is busy working. Your loved one may also be trying to curb your expenditures to keep you out of debt.

Libra has two things happening: Saturn going through your sign and Venus in Capricorn challenging you. With Saturn as your partner you are strongly able to accomplish much in any practical endeavor which is laying a foundation or structure. Venus is challenging during this time to stay within your budget, which you don’t like to do. You appreciate beauty and it may cost too much at this time, at least in the eyes of whoever manages the money. Your gracious diplomacy usually wins the day, but try to be frugal until the beginning of March. Your loved one may be working many hours and not able to give you the time you want. The family is not unbalanced, but your loved one is working to bring money in. This is temporary; get busy with a practical project to beautify your surroundings.

Scorpio experiences two things: Pluto, your patron planet, is traveling through the sign of Capricorn and Venus joins it for a month. This consolidates money, intimacy and power which bring you opportunities to express power or effectiveness. The sign of Scorpio demands sharing, so be sure to share your power by empowering others so your activities these coming years will be what you want. You should have financial opportunities to secure investments in dependable entities. Your loved one may give you an opportunity to commit to your relationship and that should be what you want.

Sagittarius is neutral with Venus in Capricorn. You can see your love life going as it always does and you will continue to experience your adventures.

Aquarius is also neutral, so you can continue to be free within your world, knowing your management abilities should be fruitful.

Pisces has two opportunities: both Pluto and Venus are in Capricorn, which mean opportunities for practical results of your dreams, but you need to take action or the opportunities are not noticed. Your loved one or business partner is in practical mode, believing that saving money and creating security are what your dreams need and they willing to help you achieve it.
