January 8 - January 14, 2018
By the time the Moon returns to Capricorn on Monday half the solar system is here in the lead up to a New Moon on Wednesday. This is a mixed blessing for Venus, with the planet of love unable to get your full attention in her final days in Capricorn. Yet Venus will be more than happy to use the New Moon this creates on Wednesday as a jumping off point. This is a year for taking your power back in general, but Venus is making sure that this also applies to matters of the heart. The biggest challenge Venus faces is convincing you to raise the bar on your romantic desires and expectations, aware of the massive romantic developments ahead. Before leaving Capricorn on Thursday this is Venus' priority and even if you're convinced this is nothing more than pipedreams or wishful thinking, the planet of love is determined to leave you with high expectations.
