The Venus In Taurus Report: May 15-June 8, 2019

Venus is now in Taurus (one of the two Signs that it rules) and will be there until June 8th. In theory, this means that love lives and finances should be operating more smoothly than they did in the last month, when Venus was debilitated in Aries. In practice though, the effects Venus in Taurus are more closely related to the aspects it makes to the various individual points in your birth chart.

Nonetheless, on an “all else being equal” basis, Venus in Taurus should prove to be more good news than bad between now and early June. The following is a list of the major aspects Venus will be making during that time. The exact dates are listed, but the aspects will be in effect for a few days beforehand and afterwards

Here are the (mostly) sweet deals from Venus in Taurus…

May 15 (+/- 4 days)

Venus conjunct Uranus

This aspect can lend real excitement to your love life, especially if you are seeking a new romantic partner or want to add some zip to an existing relationship. One warning, though: this isn’t a very stable aspect. If your diet or your blood sugar levels are an issue, be particularly alert during this time. A particular caution about May 17-19: Venus semisquare Neptune will also be in effect. A semisquare is a minor aspect (in other words, one I don’t normally bother with)… but extra caution on those days with your romantic intent and your dessert consumption.

May 30, 2019 (+/- 4 days)

Venus sextile Neptune

This can be a sweet and delightful time, and not just for romance (although there’s a lot of potential that way). It’s also an excellent time for new cooking projects, a makeover, or redecorating. As with all things, though: don’t let common sense and moderation go out the window.

May 31, 2019

Venus trine Saturn (+/- 4 days)

June 2, 2019
Venus trine Pluto (+/- 4 days)

Whereas Mars in Cancer will be raising hell with the Saturn-Pluto conjunction, a Venus trine to those planets may (if that conjunction has made trouble for you) be an outstanding opportunity to apply some kindness and consideration to your obstacles. If the Saturn-Pluto conjunction has been constructive for you, though? This could be the time that your efforts really pay off!

June 8, 2019 Venus enters Gemini

Come back then for a bunch of jokes about “talking” and “communicating”!
