Venus moves into her second home of Libra today. Leaving behind the earthy, practical, and particularizing vibe in Virgo, she expresses herself with the social graces in the sign of the scales. It’s a diplomatic, gracious placement for Venus, and we’re advised to follow suit when socializing and in our relationships.

In her first home, Taurus, Venus is more earthy and sensual, although she can also appreciate things that have value. With the goddess in Libra, it’s time to follow the rules: hold the door for others, and be sure to say please and thank you (not “no problem”!). In Taurus, Venus wants the food to taste delicious, in Libra, she wants you to use the correct fork for your salad.

So, for the next few weeks, a bit of formality can go quite well in our socializing and relationships. Respond promptly and courteously to phone calls and emails. Dress a little nicer than you might otherwise (casual summer wear is going out of use now, anyway). Unlike the past few weeks, when Earth and Water dominated the skies, we can also begin to make - and keep - plans.
