VENUS ENTERS ARIES:
On Saturday April 20th at 12:11 P.M. EDT until May 15th at 5:46 A.M. EDT the planet of love enters this Mars-ruled sign and for the next few weeks there will be a rather assertive attitude, especially where romance is concerned. While traveling through this aggressive sign Venus loses some of its gentleness and leans more towards a domineering and forceful approach. There’s nothing wrong with a certain amount of assertiveness in relationships as long as it’s kept in a proper perspective. But if you let things get out of hand you may find that you are spending much of your time trying to repair the damage that a few misplaced words can create. This will be a period when many will express their feelings and their sexual needs in a direct way. Aries isn’t known for its subtlety, so be prepared to hear what your partner is feeling. Hey, at least it will be out in the open. Deal with it. This placement will also have a strong effect on issues in the collective, and public figures will also be more assertive. As I said above, all we really have some control over is how we respond to the universe. Peace and love on this composite holiday week. Mitch.
