Astro Daily: August 16, 2021

Venus arrives home to Libra. Over the next few weeks, we’re prioritizing relationship. We’re making space for connection. We’re valuing beauty, aesthetic, and design. It’s time to bring things back into balance.

I can’t help think of Saturn’s time in Aquarius when I think of Venus in Libra, a sign that Saturn as a special affinity for. While Libra is often traditionally seen as the sign of relationships and beauty, on a deeper level it teaches us that life and the systems and networks that life runs on needs harmony and balance.

The coming days and weeks may be busy with socializing and connection, too, especially while the Sun is in Leo.

As an aside, Venus is starting to move further in front of the the Sun, a sign that Venus will turn retrograde, but not until December 19 in Capricorn. (Venus is in its evening star phase right now.)
