All Signs
This week the big news is about Venus. Fair Venus is normally in a sign for three weeks. This week, early Tuesday morning, Venus moves into Aries to stay until March 1. It then goes retrograde and slips backwards into Pisces on March 27. (This means Venus was in Aries for 8 weeks, which is twice as long as usual.) But lo! Venus continues slipping back in Pisces until it turns direct on April 12, after which it moves forward and re-enters Aries on April 30 where it then stays until June 6. Wow! So instead of its usual sojourn of roughly three weeks, Venus will visit Aries for a total of 15 weeks. Venus affects our relationships and our money. Yes, love and money. Read on to learn what this will mean for your sign. Meanwhile, we all know that Cole’s Law is just thinly sliced cabbage.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is a popular week! Not only will you have increased interaction with friends and groups, you’ll be more involved with younger people. Note: This is an excellent time to make future goals. Meanwhile, fair Venus moves into your sign on Tuesday where it will stay until the end of March. Usually, Venus is in your sign for about three weeks so this long stretch is a major bonus because Venus will increase your desire to relate to others; and at the same time, make you charming and diplomatic. Venus will manifest vacations, enjoyment with friends and fun socializing because Venus ranks pleasure above work. Shop for wardrobe goodies because you will like what you see in the mirror.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You look fabulous to others because the Sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering light. Make the most of this. Go after what you want. Conversations with authority figures will go your way. Meanwhile, this week Venus slips into a hidden part of your chart to stay until the end of March. Among other things, this can promote secret love affairs. (You ripe juicy peach!) It will also make you feel more selfless and generous to others, especially someone who needs your help. Some of you will choose to work for a charitable organization. Whatever happens, you will have more forbearance and grace to deal with whatever arises. (I’m impressed.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Your desire to travel, explore, learn fascinating things and meet interesting people continues. Therefore, grab any chance to travel or be a tourist in your own city. Likewise, grab any chance to take a course or learn something new. With lucky Jupiter in your sign until summer, you are blessed! (Remember: Jupiter is in your sign only once every 12 years.) This week fair Venus enters your House of Friendships, which makes you feel friendly towards everyone. It’s a great time for parties, fun outings and interactions with friends and groups. You’ll find it easier to be loving and affectionate. (A friend could become a lover.) All group settings, including business conferences are favoured. Lucky you!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Since early January, Mars has been retrograde in your sign, making you question yourself and feel uncertain about pursuing some goals. It has robbed you of energy; and yet, made you frustrated and easily angered, which in turn, enables old disputes. Fortunately, on the 24th of this month, Mars will no longer be retrograde. (A welcome reprieve.) Meanwhile, a lovely, ameliorating influence begins this week as fair Venus moves to the top of your chart creating favourable circumstances for your business and professional life. People will ask for your advice about redecorating, layout work and design – how to make something look better. New love with a boss or someone in authority might percolate. Life is getting better.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Respect your need for more sleep and naps. (Go to bed.) Meanwhile, this week your focus on partners and close friends is more objective, which means you can see how to improve these relationships by changing your behaviour. (Remember, you can react or respond. Your call.) Meanwhile, for the next two months, fair Venus urges you to travel for pleasure. You’ll enjoy art exhibits, museums, curious encounters and charming places because your appreciation of beauty is heightened. If you can’t travel then be a tourist in your own city. Explore! Meet new and interesting people who can broaden your world! Some of you will spark a romance with someone “different.” Hola!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is a productive week. You’re keen to work hard. This positive energy extends to your personal world and your health as well. (Oh yes, you want it all. “I’m almost perfect!”) One bit of news that will please you is that fair Venus enters one of your Money Houses this week to stay until the end of March. What does this mean? It means that you will easily attract money, gifts, goodies and favours from others. Obviously, this also means it’s the perfect time to ask for a mortgage or loan. In many ways, practical and financial support will be forthcoming, perhaps through a partner. Meanwhile sex will be hot and physical intimacy will be affectionate.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This is a lovely time because vacations, fun activities with kids, sports events and anything to do with the entertainment world and the hospitality industry are giving you opportunities for pleasure and enjoyment. (And who loves a good table at a great restaurant more than you?) Actually, things will get even better because this week on Tuesday, fair Venus moves opposite your sign where it will stay until the end of March improving and enhancing all your closest relationships. You will more easily express your affection to others. Professional partnerships will be cozier and mutually beneficial. In fact, even your enemies might warm to you.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Home, family and your private life are your main focus. Family discussions are important. Home repairs might be taking place. Travel delays and confusion with medical and legal matters will diminish by the end of the month. (That’s encouraging.) Meanwhile, this week fair Venus moves into your House of Employment and Health to stay until the end of March. This will benefit your job and your ability to enjoy warm relations with coworkers, superiors and employees. Your health will feel invigorated. A work-related romance might flourish. It’s an excellent time to discuss agreements with others and acknowledge your duties and obligations in a relationship.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is a busy, fast-paced time because of short trips, errands, appointments and increased reading, writing and studying. Plus, you’re spending more time with relatives, siblings and neighbours. Fortunately, on Tuesday, fair Venus will enter the part of your chart that relates to vacations, romance, exciting outings, playful times with kids, the entertainment world, the arts, sports — all that fun stuff. Venus will stay there until the end of March attracting opportunities in all these exciting, areas for you Flirtations and new love will percolate. Accept all invitations to party. Enjoy good times. Relax. There is no need to pretend to be what you are not.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Currently, you want greater control of your life through your possessions and the things you value. This is the perfect time to examine your relationship to your stuff. Do you own it or does it own you? Sometimes we are a slave or a victim to our possessions, maintaining them, guarding them and worrying about their possible loss. You might also have excellent moneymaking ideas at this time. Meanwhile, this week Venus moves into the part of your chart that relates to home and family, which means you will enjoy quiet times at home. Relations with parents and family members will improve. Redecorating will appeal. You might entertain to show off what you’ve done. (Clever me.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is a powerful time because the Sun is in your sign. This happens for only four weeks once a year (signalling your birthday). The Sun in your sign will energize you, boost your confidence and make you project yourself with more dazzle. The Sun will also attract people and favourable situations to you. This week Venus moves into your House of Communications, perfectly supporting the energy of the Sun by boosting your social life with friends and neighbours. You’ll be happy to socialize and talk to others. Your everyday world will become more pleasant, and you will appreciate the beauty of your everyday surroundings. It’s the perfect time for a short drive to enjoy the wonders around you.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Because the Sun won’t enter your sign until February 18, it is hiding in your chart, which is why you feel you are waiting in the wings until you’re ready to step out centre stage to greet your world. Use this time for contemplation, and a chance to observe childhood behavior patterns that are no longer useful. As your personal year is coming to an end — how do you want your new year to be different? Ideas? Meanwhile this week Venus moves into your Money House, which will attract money and wealth to you and favour financial transactions. You will be more tempted to buy beautiful clothes, jewelry and art objects to beautify your home as well as spending money to entertain yourself. Ah yes, the good life.

Moon Phase for Sunday Feb 2nd, 2025
The current moon phase for today is the Waxing Crescent phase.

Fun fact: although only a small part of the Moon is illuminated in the Waxing Crescent phase, you can still sometimes see the rest of moon as faintly visible. This is known as “earthshine” or Da Vinci glow and is a result of sunlight being reflected off the Earth and back to the Moon.
