VENUS ENTERS CAPRICORN:

On Friday December 9^th at 10:54 P.M. EST until January 2^nd at 9:09 P.M. EST Venus will join Mercury and Pluto in this sign. We know that Capricorn tends to be very realistic and a bit restrictive. And with Venus, the planet of love, money, and physical pleasures traveling here, this will be a few weeks of restraint and a more sober approach. Because this happens in the middle of the Christmas shopping season, we may see the retail numbers a bit disappointing. But that doesn’t mean that we won’t have a very pleasant and generous holiday season. Remember that generosity isn’t only about money. There will be many ways we can show our love and compassion to those in our lives. Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, is exalted in Libra, one of the signs that Venus rules. That implies that when used properly, a restricted attitude can bring much fulfillment and pleasure. This sign doesn’t want to prevent you from having fun. It just wants to ensure that you maintain a realistic and productive attitude. Over the coming weeks you can get a lot of work done. This can be extremely positive for creative people, and for setting up your financial security. Use it properly and it will do you a world of good. Don’t swim against the current. That can be exhausting. Go with the flow and your life will be much more productive. We are entering a period of a few weeks when we will all be a little reserved and you may find the holiday season a bit constricted. But after the pandemic years and with the current bear market, it would behoove us all to find some balance between work and play, spending and saving, and growth and stability.
