COSMIC WEATHER:

“Most people have a harder time letting themselves love than finding someone to love them.” Bill Russell

Today’s Venus-Saturn opposition (8:15 pm EDT) has been linked with a “fear of involvement,”or a general “resistance to love.” Saturn symbolically represents our fears, also our duties and obligations. When it is aligned with Venus, governing our affections, there can be some blockages in the expression of our feelings for a myriad of reasons. Or we may just feel more obligated by love. Sometimes, too, with this aspect, others let us down or do not give us the support that we need. Venus-Saturn also has some history with separations. Regardless of the scenario, we may find that we prefer our own company more now.

Financially, because Venus also rules money, we may encounter some temporary restrictions or challenges in this area. It may also behoove us to be more frugal (Saturn) now, or to try getting by with less.

Meanwhile, the Moon’s placement in fiery, “start-me-up” Aries means we have a tally of six planets in this restless sign, today and tomorrow. (Won’t have this number again here for several years.) We also have 8 planets in the cardinal signs (also linked with originating action).

With such a preponderance of Aries and Cardinal energy, we will want to make sure that we are finding a way to expend all of this physical energy. Gardening, or yard work, may be ideal for us now, especially with the Sun in earthy Taurus. I personally went shopping for flowers today at the local farmer’s market and will be planting them tomorrow. I also have an Aries rising and, have to admit, I am really feeling the weight of the Aries energy. I seem to be having more difficulty focusing and concentrating on tasks. Anyone else feeling this way?

Enjoy your Saturday!
