The Weekly Sky: Astrology For October 22-28, 2018

Oct 21, 2018, in Astrology, Horoscopes

No matter where you are with your life, there is probably at least one department of it were you really like to get your act together better than it is now. This week presents that opportunity, because Venus sextile Saturn is happening. Since Venus rules things like love and affection and sweetness creature comforts and cash on hand, these are departments of your life where you may find particular success if you take advantage of this constructive aspect.

(And yes, I know there is a Full Moon in Taurus on Wednesday, and that it involves a Venus-Uranus opposition that could make everything Venus-related go totally haywire. Bear with me on this: sometimes a little chaos is needed before you work up the nerve to impose some order on things. And let’s be honest: sometimes a slap in the face is a more efficient way to wake up than a gentle snuggle. If your Wednesday goes berserk somehow, it’s a wake-up call, not a disaster.)

“But wait,” you might be saying, “Venus is retrograde! How can I possibly get my Venus act together when that’s going on?” Good point, but here is how you work with that particular we funky Venus retrograde energy: make your plans as to how you were going to improve things now and put them into effect during the middle of the week. keep working away on it, or at least try not to stray too far from that plan. even if it screws up because of the retrograde, that retrograde will eventually end. Venus sextile Saturn will be in effect again in mid-December, and at that time you will be able to reevaluate your plan and either make it work better or make the changes you need to get what you want out of it.

Work with the energies at hand, and you can get great results!
