Aries 21 March - 20 April... Venus is not just about earthly sensuality. This planet helps us value ourselves and manage our finances. Today she moves into practical Virgo for a four-week stay. This is the sign of virtue, so a great chance to carefully marshal your resources or take pride in any personal hobbies that require concentration and precision. Thoughtful gestures will be appreciated.

Taurus 21 April - 21 May... As Venus, your ruler, sashays into practical Virgo, a fellow Earth sign, the next four weeks can help you bring order to both your social and creative worlds. Small refinements may make a surprising difference. Whether it's updating your look, pursuing a hobby, or reconnecting with people who appreciate your talents, attention to detail can prove rewarding.

Gemini 22 May - 21 June... An earthier dimension shapes up, with the Moon in Taurus and Venus, which influences taste and style, moving into gentle Virgo. Such has been the high-octane blend of recent days, particularly in your sign, with Mars and Uranus creating an electric buzz of excitement, you can appreciate the chance to chill out at home, decorate, or spend time in your outdoor space.

Cancer 22 June - 23 July... Remember that old saying, “It's not what we say, but the way that we say it?” Well, that can really ring true in the next few weeks, when your ideas, messages, and the way you express them resonate with the people you encounter. Whilst many of us chat by text now, you can still find that people are more responsive to what you say. Mutual rapport can be boosted.

Leo 24 July - 23 August... Your finances can take a turn for the better now, but the trick will be to use any good fortune carefully. That more flamboyant side of your nature could be tempted to splash out, but one sound way of avoiding a powerful case of buyer's remorse is to ask yourself this question: “Will any item I buy have a practical benefit?” If the answer is no, don't rush any purchases.

Virgo 24 August - 23 September... The weeks ahead can be the perfect time to give yourself a makeover. If you are a dedicated follower of fashion, you may feel you are already on trend, but a few more individual, tasteful touches can give you a lovely personal boost. A creative hobby that has been calling out to you could also come into play. Blending your eye for detail with flair is the perfect mix.

Libra 24 September - 23 October... Whether you're involved or single, as your ruler Venus moves into the most reflective zone of your chart, it can give you plenty of cosmic food for thought around close involvements. You may find yourself nostalgic for someone from your past or deciding whether a current tie meets your expectations. After an incredibly busy time of late, you may also enjoy some “you time”.

Scorpio 24 October - 22 November... As Venus glides into practical Virgo, though not her most glamorous place, this gives you a chance to celebrate the things you have in common, rather than the things that make you different. Venus here can be very discriminating, so try not to be too precise in who or what would meet your ideal. Socially, a busier time is in store, especially around group activities.

Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December... With Uranus, the planet of rebellion, now in your sector of relationships, this can bring to the fore that more outspoken and feistier part of your nature. A counterpoint to this is the planet of relating, Venus, moving into the most visible part of your chart. In the weeks ahead, her diplomacy and steadiness can be great qualities, especially in work or worldly interactions.

Capricorn 22 December - 20 January... Enjoy nature, walking, rambles, or visiting places of historical interest? The month ahead can be very enjoyable. If you prefer home-based activities, researching genealogy or watching natural history programmes can be gratifying. However, if a relationship has been uncertain, you may become firmer in your need to know where you stand, as the truth must come out.

Aquarius 21 January - 19 February... You have a reputation for cool detachment in all things romantic. Is that always the case, Aquarius? No, of course not, and the next few weeks can see things get altogether spicier - as long as you feel really comfortable with the person you're with. In business, your ability to see value beyond what is obvious can also be amplified from now on, bringing rewards.

Pisces 20 February - 20 March... As Venus enters your opposite sign, relationships come sharply into focus. The coming weeks can reward cooperation, give-and-take, and showing affection through practical gestures. Sometimes love is best expressed not through grand declarations but through consistency, reliability, and genuine consideration. Your listening skills will be appreciated too now.
