Over the coming weeks, you’ll find more satisfaction in your projects, studies, and communications. A transportation matter that met with delays can now resume or straighten out.

Aim to think up new ways to protect, improve, or build your resources.Capricorn
Venus ends its almost six-week retrograde cycle today, dear Capricorn. Because this phase occurred in your sign, it’s been a little more personal for you!

Working towards the goal of increased happiness and health are in strong focus.Aquarius
After six weeks of retrograde motion, Venus turns direct today, dear Aquarius. While it helps clarify your feelings, the shift itself can generate some confusion today. Nevertheless, complicated relationships or feelings can start making sense in the coming weeks, and the road ahead seems to be a little more certain. A decision about a matter of the past now may seem more straightforward to make–it may even become irrelevant. There could be a resolution to feelings of being stuck in the past or hung up on a matter/relationship that’s no longer viable. As with all stations, whether it’s a shift to retrograde or direct, it’s not an ideal time to make or break commitments. Ease into this new phase for best results.
