The Venus with a dragon tattoo

There’s a charge of electricity that has you hair standing on end, your senses on red alert. Now that we’re all warmed up to Venus in fiery Aries (notice she gave us all of one day to get used to her exuberance!), she’s throwing in a big kicker. At 6:29 PM, PST, she saddles up to the god of lightening and suggests a surprise party. Excitement is on the menu, with a side dish of unexpected consequences. None of this is good news to the Virgo Moon who prefers stability to disruptive passion. Although, a new love affair would be nice...
The Force of surprise is with you.

Be thankful Thursday, February 9, 2012.

Aries (March 20-April 19)
Your friends must look at you and think, “Spring has sprung!” You’re on fire with initiative and daring since the goddess of love entered your sign. But she’s only getting warmed up. Tonight around 6:29 PM, PST, (and for the next two days at least) she’s planned a rendezvous with the god of lightening. Can you imagine the sparks? Probably not, since they will be sparkles of surprises. Your friends may not even recognize you when this is over. You’re popping open like a jack-in-the-box. Never know when!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
We have a shy and retiring Moon in Virgo who just adores your tortoise style of getting things done. She’ll add some clean up, and a healthier diet. She brings you an energy boost when she hooks up with warrior Mars around 9:12 PM, PST. You’ll feel this surge of strength and willpower to break down barriers throughout today and in to tomorrow. On the other hand, Venus in impetuous Aries is setting off fireworks in your house of friends, so expect a lot of fun and surprised in that arena during the next three weeks. It gets particularly exciting when she starts playing with Uranus’ lightening bolts, and they set each other on fire with creativity and passion. This peaks at 6:29 PM, PST, but is with us a few days (you couldn’t stand longer than that!). If your wiring overheats, pull in and “do turtle.” Nothing wrong with the occasional retreat into your shell.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The hard working Virgo Moon wants to clean up matters related to your home and family. Your feelings today get an infusion of resolve from warrior Mars. The Moon has you focused on details, which creates a stress with your light hearted, big-picture Sun. You may feel this throughout the day, culminating at 9:12 PM, PST, as an irritable mood. But Venus comes to the rescue around 6:29 PM, PST, with some enthusiasm and sudden changes that will spice up your friendships. There's an easy lift to your spirits, and it's a great time to be with others.

Cancer (June 21-July 21)
Your words have a depth of feeling to them today, and all your communications will be clear, very precise and organized. You can easily solve a problem, and then explain it clearly to others. There’s a bravery in the way you take the initiative today. Venus, now in the fire sign of Aries, is adding excitement and creativity to your ambitions. You can expect the unexpected, so stay ready for some surprises when the goddess of love gets her hands on a bunch of lightening bolts around 6:29 PM, PST. This is an enormous stimulus to your career. Guaranteed changes--at least of your mind.

Leo (July 22-August 22)
The Virgo Moon may nag you to balance the checking account, but her attention to detail can work for you. If you feel needled, take a break and sort out your feelings. Your in the mood to finish your taxes, manage your resources, so take advantage of it. The lighter side of the next few days is the goddess of love expanding your mind with creative insights. Venus is making a beautiful harmony with you right now, so go with the happy feelings. She’s got a date with the god of lightening at 6:29 PM, PST. This electric conjunction lasts well into tomorrow, and if you can stay light on your feet the sudden changes will just excite you. The key is to let lightening pass through you, never try to hold on!

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
The Moon in your sign makes for a sense of well-being, and the urge to organize your life. If you stay calm (go in the bathroom and count to ten) you can throw the weight of your emotions into actions that you take. You can feel enormous resolve, but likewise enormous irritation if someone crosses you. Venus stimulates your desire to get to the bottom of a relationship issue, and she’ll be slightly annoying in her impulsive approach. Plus, she has some big surprises in pocket that sparks electricity in the air around 6:29 PM, PST. Lightening bolts are exciting if you’re grounded.

Libra (September 23-October 22)
The Virgo Moon is a shy, retiring sort of emotional energy that pays close (sometimes too close) attention to the details. She wants you to clean up and clear out ghosts from the past, and she’s very good with a broom! You may find her irritatingly precise, actually she’s a nudge, but she’s all about being healthier. Venus is a happier story for you as she sits in your house of relationships with a fabulous, passionate energy. She’s not much on commitment, but she’ll blast a relationship out of indecision and off the fence. Problem is, she doesn’t care where it lands. You get a peak at her surprises around 6:29 PM, PST, although this is a much longer influence. Let it stimulate you.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
There’s a pleasant aura around your friendships today. The compatible Virgo Moon suggests inviting friends over, as you will especially enjoy the companionship. There’s a strong energy to your emotions when warrior Mars joins the Moon, beginning at 9:12 PM, PST, and into tomorrow morning. This is emotional bravery. You can take the initiative in a way you might have been reluctant to do before. Just stay calm--it’s a lot of emotional force. Venus has started her journey through Aries, which lands in your house of work and service. You’re going to get a stimulating, but super charged, surprise in that area during the next three to four days, but it’s peak is at 6:29 PM, PST. Lots of creative juice!

Sagittarius (November 22-December 20)
The hard working Virgo Moon is in your career house where she’s likely to inspire you to clean up and clean out. But the excitement for you is Venus in your house of romance and creativity. A fabulous time to have some spontaneous fun or a fleeting romance (this Venus doesn’t care for staying in the same place very long!). If you have children, this is a very loving time with lots of affection between you. At 6:29 PM, PST, the goddess of love plays with lightening, which freshens your love life with surprises. Unexpected love--what could be better?

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
You have a lovely harmony right now with you inner emotional life with the Moon in your best friends sign, Virgo. You feel contented and centered. Plus, how lovely for you that the expressive goddesses of love is dancing through your home and family life, bringing you closer together through a new way to appreciate each other. Expect a surprise this evening (6:29 PM, PST) that will renew your love, or start a new love that’s a fun fling.

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
You have the goddess of love gracing all your communications with her fiery enthusiasm. Your words are loving and have an exciting creativity about them. If you’ve ever wanted to write, the next three weeks would be wonderful for that, or just getting your ideas across to others. Electric surprises are added in via lightening bolts of change around 6:29 PM, PST. Today’s Virgo Moon could have you writing a mystery novel, since Virgo sweeps away the mess so you can get to the bottom of things. Watch out for conflict late this evening (9:12 PM, PST) when warrior Mars tries to join forces with this shy Moon. It’s irritating.

Pisces (February 18-March 19)
The Virgo Moon is writing a story about your relationships, and she’s included all your true feelings. All of them. She’s nothing if not thorough, and she has a way of sweeping away the old. When this Moon meets face to face with warrior Mars at 9:12 PM, PST, your resolve and emotional resilience are strengthened. You’ll act with feeling. Sudden changes accompany Venus as she blesses your house of resources with her creativity around 6:29 PM, PST. Perhaps a change of heart. Change is the key word, and if you can keep a level head, it will be exciting, and it will open up unexpected resources.
