Read for your rising sign

This month’s horoscopes explore the dynamics around Venus’s current location in Aries (according to the tropical zodiac) and her complicated path through this fire sign. Some of our relationships and ideas around relationships are sure to be put to the test. Let’s see if they hold up to the fire and heat of our individual experience.

Aries

Most of us reach a point in our lives where we realize who we think we are and who other people think we are is not the same. An ambitious goal is to unify how we act, how we speak, and how we feel. Do this and there will never be a gap between who you think you are and who other people think you are.

Taurus

When beauty that is hidden finally decides to reveal itself it appears much more beautiful. The glow of the moon warms the night but when it finally peaks over the mesa top it’s spectacular. Where is there beauty waiting to be revealed in your life?

Gemini

Hope is a beautiful thing. It is a big part of the human story. Without hope who knows where we’d all be. Take a moment and ask yourself where would a little extra hope help me heal?

Cancer

You know the saying, “it’s not you, it’s me”. Well, what if the saying went like this, “it’s not me, it’s you”? People often associate reputation with what people think of us but it is often more about who we choose to surround ourselves with that actually crafts our public reputation.

Leo

“The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem," Captain Jack Sparrow. To be the best version of yourself in any relationship you have to realize when you are the problem or even more importantly, as Captain Jack said, when your attitude is the problem.

Virgo

There’s money and then there’s your relationship with money. There’s other people’s money and then there is your relationship with other people’s money. This month is a good time to get clear on what’s yours, what’s theirs, and leave that grey area in the middle alone.

Libra

Finding individuation through our closest relationships might sound like a strange phrase to most but to a Libra like yourself, I bet you know exactly what I am talking about. However, don’t forget Libra is the sign of the scales so it’s all about balance. Scorpio Relationships shouldn’t feel like “work”, but they do require some work. I think that older couple bickering at the grocery store just forgot to attend to the fire that started 40 years ago when they first met. To keep a fire burning requires fuel and sometimes gathering more fuel does require more effort.

Sagittarius

Beauty is often born out of fire, upheaval, and hard work. Think Hawaii, magical islands in the heart of the pacific, born from the volcanic power of melted earth. So just remember any beauty you may be trying to create in your own life takes time, energy, and intention.

Capricorn

Sometimes a favorable outcome comes through an unfavorable situation. Stay focused with your eye on the prize and you will walk through the fire and thrive. You may get a burn or two, but it will be worth it.

Aquarius

A change of scenery from time to time does the mind some good. It doesn’t have to be a long trip; it could just be a new way to a familiar location or a new conversation with an old friend. Give it a try and see if it brings a new sense of appreciation to your everyday environment.

Pisces

Ask yourself ‘do I believe there are enough resources in the world for everyone’? Whatever your answer is, then ask yourself ‘why do I believe that’? When Venus, the Jewel of the evening sky, eventually turns retrograde in Aries in early March - ask yourself all these same questions again!
