“Most people are slow to champion love because they fear the transformation it brings into their lives. And make no mistake about it: love does take over and transform the schemes and operations of our egos in a very mighty way.” Aberjhani

Today’s Energy:

Venus, which governs our desire for connection and romance, as well as ruling money and what we value or find beautiful, such as works of art, is trining “transformational” Pluto today.  This more flowing influence is thought to have a very healing vibration connected to it that can often be quite restorative, in general, for our personal, as well as our professional relationships, especially with Venus now deposited in “service-oriented, corrective” Virgo, a practical earth sign that is naturally focused on problem-solving.

Love makeovers, resuscitating old relationships, even meeting our “soul mate” may all be in the cards as these two heavenly bodies harmonize gracefully with each other now. Venus-Pluto can also bring significant people into our lives from our past, including our karmic past.

This may also be a time when we may want to give more serious focus to shoring up our financial future, including eyeing our long-term investments, or dealing with such things as estate matters or wills, which Pluto, the modern-day ruler of Scorpio, governs.

Speaking of Scorpio, the Sun will be entering this investigative sign at 1:47 pm EDT today, where it will reside for the next 30 days.  Scorpio rules the resources that we share with others, including such things as sex and intimacy; it also represents other people’s values and the mysteries of life. Generally speaking, “going deeper into the nature of things” may be something that gives us a sense of power (Sun) now. We may also be more reform-minded over the next month.

Questions for today: What would be the best piece of romantic advice that you could give someone who is looking for love? How have you been transformed by love? Is the Universe loving?

In Celebrity News: Adele returns from a three-year hiatus with a new single “Hello” from the album 25 (from Wikipedia.com). Venus, by the way, happens to rule artists, with today’s Venus-Pluto an excellent influence for reviving or re-staging a career (Pluto in Capricorn). We are also “hearing from a world famous artist (Adele) again, after a noteworthy absence,” which is another symbolic manifestation of the Venus-Pluto energy bringing back someone from our collective past. And, of course, her “love-related songs” emotionally impact (Venus) and shape the masses (Pluto).
