Today Venus arrives in Taurus! After spending the last four weeks in Aries, a sign that’s not familiar territory, Venus will underscore themes of fertility, pleasure, bounty, earthiness, and the good life. In astrology we say that Venus is in dignity as Taurus is a sign that Venus rules. Not that Aries was a bad place for Venus, but she had to work in ways that didn’t come naturally to her — competition, forthrightness, action.

So, enjoy the bounty of the physical world this weekend! With Mars and Mercury retrograde, we’re already moving at a slower pace.
