Read your horoscope for Venus in Virgo
Pleasure vs. perfectionism
From August 4th to August 29th, Venus — the planet of love and beauty — moves through Virgo. Venus is in its fall in this sign, which means it has a harder time enjoying pleasure for pleasure’s sake in this placement. Virgo is quick to categorize and separate, which can isolate this planet from the connection it craves. Here, Venus generally struggles to delight in the present moment without critiquing what could be improved.
Yet planets in their fall offer profound lessons; they ask us to be more proactive, curious, and creative in addressing the themes they oversee. So over the next few weeks, turn your attention to what you actually enjoy working on — the more satisfaction you get in the process, the better. Share how you feel about others through acts of service (but don’t forget acts of self-care while you’re at it). And if things aren’t exactly right, take it easy. If you wait to savor an experience until circumstances are perfect, you’ll end up waiting a lifetime.
