Aries & Aries Rising
This week begins with a wakeup call. A minor irritant, an energetic pinch, or a proverbial pebble in your shoe that demands your attention. Heed it. It’s an ongoing exchange occurring between you and your life that is dominating these days.
Any new information is good information.
As of Monday, February 1st, Venus is here to help you bring some much needed sweetness to the conflicts, challenges, or abrupt changes you are experiencing in regards to your social circles, networks, and professional partnerships. What the planet of connection eventually helps you do is deactivate division—or at the very least, it helps to repair the ruptures that have occurred.
Come Friday and Saturday however, Venus highlights the hardest interpersonal challenges that you face. The problems are now clearly outlined, which may be challenging but ultimately it’s what gives you greater agency. Once we know where we are, we can act accordingly.
Because Mercury is retrograding through this same area of your chart, you are more prone than usual to gain insight into the conversations, the dynamics, and the exchanges that you’ve been struggling with.
Honor the review process and remember that help is on the way.
By February 11th, you find your stride and receive many gifts that become bridges to the solutions you need now. There are so many people on your side, and there is so much to gain from your supporters; the key is remaining in constant integrity when dealing with any naysayers, unhelpful teammates, or those who are rebels without a cause.

Taurus & Taurus Rising
This week, Venus blesses your professional pursuits, worldly affairs, and gives you a boost of stage presence and good lighting. Deck the professional halls of your life with whatever is aesthetically pleasing, alluring, and enticing.
Don’t underestimate the power of beauty.
Your unique style is a core part of your talent. Your contribution to your industry is everything from the ethics and values that you center, to who you choose to co-create with, to what the final product might look like. There may be no other time in your life that so clearly demonstrates your impact on your industry.
The complications that this week outlines are related to what the rest of this year is asking you to work through: for you, 2021’s astrology is centered on your ability to break through what holds you in outdated patterns while simultaneously creating containers for your professional passions. One requires you to be disruptive, the other consistent—together they teach you how to expand into the kind of human that can hold space for both.

Gemini & Gemini Rising
To truly know something we have to investigate it from many angles. We have to review it. We have to bring it into the sunlight, sit with it in the dark of night, test its knowledge in a multitude of conditions.
As your ruling planet, Mercury, makes evident.
Retrograde once again, Mercury asks you to review the philosophies that you’ve lived your life within and to question whether they help you go the distance or if they merely have you circling around what you think will keep you safe.
Expanding your horizons requires you to move into spaces where your vulnerability is more pronounced than usual. Learning new things highlights your ignorance. Asking questions keeps you from prioritizing your pride over your growth.
As Venus ventures into the same terrain that Mercury is retrograding through (and the Sun, Jupiter, and Saturn are also occupying), you might notice that some hard truths and some very awakening revelations are on their way.
Listen in.
Your heart might have to stretch to receive the wisdom, your commitments to your own self-realization might be tested, but your ability to grow into new horizons will be amplified.
Study the wisdom traditions that inspire a sense of greater connection to the world around you, refuse the texts that diminish your humanity or anyone else’s.

Cancer & Cancer Rising
The current emphasis on your collaborations is irrefutable. However, if a partnership isn’t a no brainer, it’s got to be a “thank you, next”. Because the nature of what you are building with others has massive staying power, you don’t want to work with those that are merely filling in the gaps.
When you bring your best, you deserve to build alongside those who do too.
As Mercury retrograde challenges you to review what you are receiving from others, and how you are making use of it for mutual growth, Venus enters the scene, seeing if she can sweeten the deal. While deciding on definitive plans isn’t what these skies recommend, this is the perfect time to refine your ways of co-creating.
When you are clear about what you are in need of, it’s so much easier to know when something is the right fit. Come the weekend you get a precise picture about what that is and what that is not. Remember, you don’t need everything and the kitchen sink and you aren’t here to give everyone what they need. In fact, the more discerning you can be about your exchanges, the greater abundance you’ll be able to bring in and the more you’ll have to share.

Leo & Leo Rising
So much good is about to come through your relationships. So much abundance can be made available to you now through your commitments. So many lessons about prosperity want to reveal themselves to you through the people you are building with.
But first, specificity.
The clearer you are about how you show up to the table and what you place upon it, the better partner, co-conspirator, and recipient you can be.
With Mercury retrograding through this part of your chart, this week helps you hone in on what you are saying yes to and what you need to say no to. This week outlines what happened in relationships that ended long ago and what you want your current ones to be home to.
With Venus also entering this part of your chart, you get to experience another level of what you value about the unions in your life. Whoever brings sweetness needs a little celebration. Whoever brings chaos needs to be held at a distance. Whoever brings you closer into alignment with the ideas, ideals, and wisdom you are seeking now, makes themselves known. As you mature, your needs in partnership do too. Don’t worry if you want to spend your time with a more selective group than usual.

Virgo & Virgo Rising
This week, the beauty of your work is revealed through your commitment to it. Reviewing the ways in which you hold your work projects, your colleagues, and yourself accountable helps you to honor your relationship to how you get things done.
With Mercury retrograding through the area of your chart that has to do with the professional schedules, routines, and wellness practices that keep you ontrack, this is not the time to push. The wisdom of this week is revealed through your willingness to reflect. What is working? What is flailing? What is humming along? What is calling out for you to come get it?
With Venus entering the same domain, you’re being asked to bring some flowers to your work spaces, some honey to the water cooler, and some beauty to the things that you are working on. Aesthetic power should not be underestimated—the more inviting a project by color, texture and tone, the more others will want to be in relationship to it. If you want to honor Venus this week, wear green to your Zoom meetings, spray your workspaces with rose water, and place a little reminder of who you do the work for on your desk.
Right now, it’s all about who you connect to through your work, who will help you carry it forward, and who will bring it to places and spaces you have never known.

Libra & Libra Rising
There is so much bounty to be had in and through your creative life, but reaping the rewards right now comes as you also reckon with your fears, self-doubts and tendencies to deny yourself the encouragement that you need.
You deserve a cheerleader. Be the one you’ve always wanted.
To be an effective steward of the creative energy that moves through you, you must also be able to remove what blocks its flow. Restricting yourself, playing small, and refusing opportunities does more than inhibit you from your own growth. As you expand into new arenas, you also come into contact with new responsibilities, a heftier understanding of what accountability looks like, and where you next need to commit to a course of action.
Don’t rob yourself of these opportunities.
As Mercury retrogrades through, and Venus enters, the part of your chart that has everything to do with joy, pleasure, and creating for the sheer delight of it, you learn much about carving out time for just that. You are also tasked with the big job of breaking up with the people, habits, and patterns that steal sweetness from you.
To help yourself through this process, put a little honey in your teas and tonics, and spend a little more time smelling the roses that happen to bloom upon your path.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
Fill your home with what soothes you. Build altars to appease the Goddesses of relaxation. Be a curator of spaces that are purely for your rest and renewal.
Venus is coming to stay for a while.
For the next 4 weeks, Venus fills your four walls with works of art that inspire you to live in accordance with the power of pleasure. It reminds you that a true home is a place where you can let your guard down. It encourages you to dream about what that might feel like for you and inspires you to make moves towards building it for yourself.
You might be more enticed than usual to buy new sheets, bring roses to your bedside, and drink your favorite libation in the bath.
Please do.
As Mercury also retrogrades through this part of your chart, you are reviewing the needs from early life that got overlooked, swept aside, or covered up by other burdens. There are always reasons for what you survived, but the point right now is to care for the parts of you that were left hungry and in need of nourishment.
As Venus comes up against some hard lines and rough edges at the end of the week, you get to see how truly necessary it is to partake in any sweetness that is served and to make sure there is always a pot of something sumptuous on the backburners of your life, ready and waiting to be served.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
While Mercury retrogrades through your days, it pulls up emails that got lost, meanings that you missed at first, meetings that need to be rescheduled, and delays that reconfigure your calendar. These minor hiccups are here for a reason, however.
Pay attention to how your life wants to reorganize itself. Much like trying to work out what a baby needs, your best resource is trial and error.
But don’t be fooled, you are making headway.
Each time you listen to what your day is trying to tell you, each time you accept the ways in which things fall apart, you get to see how they also find their way back together again. Have faith that the information that is both concealed from you and revealed to you—is right on time and in accordance with a greater order that is wiser than you.
Mercury retrograde humbles us all.
Because Venus will spend the next four weeks bringing extra ease to your days, you can count on protection when you serve the planet of connection. While there are disturbances you need to handle, the solutions come through staying in relationships with the people, events, and rhythms of the moment. The more patience you bring to the issue, the more everyone involved calms down.
There are big boons coming your way, gifts and offerings that want to land in your lap, and when you remain confident in your ability to ride the waves and surf the upsets, folks around you benefit. In turn, they will also feel moved to help you, work with you, or praise you for your big ideas and calm amidst the storm.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
As Mercury retrogrades through the part of your chart that deals with your finances, you are undergoing a review of how you make a living and work with your material life.
On the other side of refusing to pursue an economic avenue any longer, a whole other option you may not have ever considered comes into focus.
Welcome, Venus.
On Monday, the planet of pleasure, connection, and relaxation saunters into this same domain, and you are reminded of the power of staying open to solutions. This isn’t a flimsy state of mind, nor is it wishful thinking: it’s actually a deep commitment to remaining unwavering and resolved to trust that, underneath it all, you’ve got what it takes and you always find your way.
Venus here also reminds you to put a four-leaf clover in your wallet, your checkbook on your altar, and an aesthetic of abundance front and center. What you love to look at, smell, taste, or hear attracts the ideas, conversations, or insights that your work-life benefits from.
Put images of well-being, beauty, and prosperity where you can’t help but absorb them.
The weight of excess and the aggravation of greed actually collapse health. Knowing this helps you ultimately, and even shockingly, attune yourself to just the right amount of what you need now.
Too much isn’t ever the right amount to keep to oneself.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
While Venus bestows you with blessings for the next four weeks, it also asks you to make a choice. Being on your own side is a skill that can take a lifetime to cultivate, but committing to doing so is what makes all the difference. You don’t have to get it right: the mere act of centering it gives you the chance to make it a habit.
Practice starts now.
Venus now reminds you that connection is the key ingredient to adding sweetness to your life. Those that you want to commit to become more evident, and those that only bring disruption to your life might need to be reconsidered.
Break up with the notion that you have to accept what others offer you in order to have union. Instead, experiment with showing up as you are, willing and able to connect, and see who matches you with the same energy.
To celebrate Venus, adorn your body in the fabrics, colors, oils, and shapes it rejoices in. Take note of the environments, people, and practices that help you relax. Offer yourself a break from the norm when it comes to the demands that you feel obliged to respond to.
There’s more to life than being good, right, or well-behaved.
Being at ease is a rebellion all on its own and the only rules you need to adhere to now are the ones that let you sleep well at night.

Pisces & Pisces Rising
This week Venus brings you the blessing of feeling like you’ve got access to the assistance you need. Like a fairy godmother that enters the story at just the right moment, Venus brings a little light, sparkle, and bibbity-bobbity-boo to the scene.
Take her up on the offer.
Here, Venus reminds you of behind the scenes indulgences and the kind of escapism that is good for the soul. Most likely, this is a moment of pulling all the way in, refusing unnecessary activity, and needing to tend to the aspects of yourself only you can reach.
Keep some joys just for yourself. Keep some pleasures private. Not everything needs to be shared, posted, or for public consumption. Revel in the power of a secret sweetness that is just for you.
The magic of keeping some things underwraps until they are ready to be shared might not be immediately evident, but all practitioners know that spellwork is a private affair—it’s the results that we share with the world.
Be protective of your incubators and what they contain. The less you seek validation for the outside world, the more you’ll come to appreciate these pockets of downtime and divesting from the noise.
