By Cortney Litwin / Special to The Malibu Times
The big news this week is Venus and Jupiter turning direct on the 18th. Venus will help relationship plans move forward, while Jupiter can accelerate your personal or professional growth. Also on the 18th, the sun connecting with Neptune and Jupiter inspires optimism but can cause you to overlook the facts. Then brainpower and communications are energized by a series of intense Mercury influences from the 20th-27th. Next, it’s all about getting physical during the full moon in earthy Taurus on the 21st. The sun entering Sagittarius on the next day favors activities involving learning, travel, culture or spirituality. In the romance arena, relationships can get complicated, passionate or transformed after Venus transits into Scorpio on the 29th for about eight weeks. On the same day, the Mars-Jupiter square can prompt some daring or risky behavior. Finally, Mercury entering Capricorn on the 30th favors discussions about all things practical.
