The first day of the month strikes up a need in you to act on impulse, or perhaps you’ll jump headfirst into a situation without looking both ways or down. Not like you. Alternatively, this cosmic energy could manifest in a realisation regarding work, or you might decide to get fit.
You’re a sign that likes usually prefers to watch the grass grow, being more aware of, yet also accepting of, the passage of time. You like to squeeze the goodness out of every single moment, and your ruler Venus helps you with this by spending most of the month in your opposite sign of Scorpio, your relationship zone, putting the accent squarely on relationships, and slowing the pace of life right down.
Venus in Scorpio will also make the world appear more intense – or it’ll make you more intense, and you might also be more secretive, or prone to spend in secret, or not tell someone how much something really cost if you decide to treat yourself in among all the gift buying for others!
Self-deception is the strongest deception of all, and you need to watch out for such tendencies around December 21, or this is when you might get into the spirit of the holidays if you’ve been feeling a bit bah-humbug. There’s a prosperous and happy 2018 ahead, but only once you give yourself the permission to think in these terms.
That strange timeless, shapeless period between Christmas and New Year could be full of sexual intrigue because of a very steamy meeting between Venus and Pluto, and as a result you might be drawn to someone that your friends and family deem totally inappropriate (the type your mum always warned you about) or, if you’re away from home, an attraction could soon become an obsession. You take life slowly, yes, but feelings develop rapidly.
