With the Moon in Taurus, we try to be practical today, but our perceptions aren't necessarily accurate because Venus opposes imaginative Neptune, casting her dizziness spell on us once again, creating a heightened state of fantasy. Today, we may confuse reality with our desires.

Venus has shifted into Virgo today. Every shift into a new sign brings another chapter, development, challenge or reward into our lives. Most relationships have a few issues at times. With Venus entering Virgo we are being provided with the perfect prescription to fix things. Venus rules love and money and Virgo rules perfection, so… here’s your chance to scrutinise and fix relationship issues.

We may feel like we are swirling in a sea of love and empathy. Be attentive to what you really want and need, or else whims of fantasy and a veil of illusion may cast themselves upon items or people, making them seem more attractive than they necessary are.

We may feel that something is real, but it may actually be harmful.  It seems we will do anything to avoid wakening up to our truth.  Watch out for weak judgement and blind spots.  Enjoy the ride, but maintain a little scepticism for whatever happens this week, especially in matters of the heart. Some may be left disenchanted.

Mars joins the North node and some might blow a few fuses today. This aspect can heighten anger and hostility. Use this energy in a positive way rather… follow the signs that the universe is giving you. Strike out on a new path. Sometimes it's necessary to take a risk - just make sure it's a calculated one. There may be a need to resolve deep seated emotional conflicts within in order for you to clear the way ahead.
