Star Struck Style

My Venus return occurs tomorrow. “Café Astrology” has the following prediction for the annual transit:

“It’s your Venus Return today, so be sure to surround yourself with positive thoughts, people, and affirmations, as this day can act as a ‘stamp’ for the year or so ahead with regards to both relationships and personal finances. There is the potential for your personal relationships (especially romantic ones) to experience renewal. Beauty and art are especially appealing now. Feelings are affectionate. Your desire for love, companionship, and affection predominates at this time. A new friendship or romance could begin, or an established relationship can be revitalized and enhanced. If there is someone you have wanted to reach out to, doing so now is likely to create warm feelings between you, and may be the start of something beautiful. Revealing and reiterating your love at this time could turn a relationship in a new direction. You also need to be surrounded by beauty and harmony and your artistic inclinations are stimulated now. A shift or change in your attitude towards money and personal possessions is also possible now.”

I’ve got the day off work and I was already planning to have a spa day at home. I’ll probably light some scented candles and try to remember what it felt like to get out into the sunshine and smell the flowers in my garden. Winter has already been sort of rough in this part of the world.

I like the idea of making this day act as a “stamp” for the rest of the year, as the forecast above suggests. It’s just a couple of days away from the solstice, so the idea that “the only way is up” is on my mind already. I’m working on the day of the actual solstice, so I’m going to make tomorrow the day where I perform my annual ritual of welcoming the sun’s ingress into my sign.

I’m already feeling good just thinking about it . . .
