Venus, coming to the last leg of its retrograde journey, dipped into Pisces, a sign that it’s much more comfortable in than Aries. In Pisces, Venus marries charm and with Pisces’s sensitivity and magnetism. But Venus is retrograde. Everything has to be revalued.
After a short sprint through Aries, Mercury, the planet of communication and travel, arrives in Taurus today, a sign where it learns to slow down. Taurus is earthy, experiential. It likes to touch, taste, and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. In Taurus Mercury gathers.
