If something from the past is still causing issues, now is the time to face it head-on. You may want to talk to a counsellor, life coach or trusted confidant, as a fresh perspective could be the key to finally letting it go. With Venus aligning with Saturn, stepping back emotionally might help you see things more clearly. Distance doesn't mean avoidance, as it may help you gain insight.

An event might not be your idea of fun right now, especially when you're craving something livelier. But before you find an excuse to get out of it, consider that showing up could benefit you. Yes, it might feel a little too stiff or serious for your taste, but the connections you make could be surprisingly valuable. Dress the part, put on your best charm and see where it leads.

As Venus aligns with Saturn in your career zone, it's time to recognise your worth, because if you don't, who will? You might be tempted to undersell yourself, accept less or downplay your skills, but the universe is urging you to step up. Selling yourself short only short-changes your future. Stand tall, speak up and claim what's rightfully yours. You've earned it, so own it!

The coming days can see you making a commitment to something or someone, because you're serious about it and want to get results. While a sobering influence may be short-lived, it can plant the seed of a positive and focused plan. You could also doubt yourself or fear to move forward when you'll benefit from going ahead. Be courageous, and you'll find you can do it.

Does your relationship feel like it needs a boost? With Venus merging with Saturn in an intense zone, you may start to wonder where the sparkle went. Perhaps what you really need is a breakthrough and a chance for you both to unleash your inner passion and feel more alive than you have in some time. This might mean surrendering to feelings and letting go.

A tense Venus/Saturn connection means relationship dynamics can take their toll and cause you to reassess a friendship or developing romance. Should you let your feelings show or hold back? It can be a dilemma. Thinking about it won't help, but trusting your intuition will. On another note, this could be an ideal opportunity for a solid collaboration - especially if you share the same interests.

A cautious blend of energies can find you doubting yourself and being overly charming to others. And you may put yourself last while putting others first. This could see you dashing around trying to juggle chores and tasks and bending yourself backwards to get things done. Don't even try. Instead, organise others to help so that you too have enough time to recharge.

Have a lot on your proverbial plate? This is no time to be juggling your plans. The more you can cut back your to-do list, the easier life can be. If you feel you should do something but are already exhausted, then take note. You'll find that by relaxing into the coming days, they can be so much more productive and satisfying. Enjoy some leisure time, as you'll likely get more done.

The Venus/Saturn merger could encourage you to look deeper into the cost of running your home. There may be ways to get better deals if you seek them out. But even if there aren't, this is a chance to let your ingenuity and resourcefulness come into their own. You'll be ready to explore new methods that could lead to lower expenses. As you experiment, you'll begin to save.

Think carefully before promising anything, as you could come to regret it later. If you say yes, just to get into someone's good books, be sure you're up for this, as the effort involved could soon wear thin. In fact, if you pile too much on your plate, current aspects suggest you could quickly lose interest. You're usually very dependable, but even you have your limits.

You'll be more aware of the give and take around key interactions. While you may be generous, others can hold back and you could take this personally. It may be for reasons that have nothing to do with you, and more to do with their personal situation, so try not to worry. With Mars moving deeper into Leo, you'll also find this a great time to rally support for your best plans.

You might appear serious, but underneath you may be ready to make a radical move that can bring the joy flooding back into your life. As Venus links with sobering Saturn in your sign, perhaps you're involved in finalising something and making it formal. Hard work can be the gateway to freedom and something fresh. Change is in the air, and you'll be ready to embrace it.
