As the summer begins and your season creeps closer, even more good news comes your way regarding career and creative projects when Venus, who is so generous that she rules money, love, and beauty, enters your sign on Monday, June 17. This transit heralds an abundant period ripe with potential for advancing your dreams, whether that’s the poems you write at night and hope to publish or your day job, and ideally enhancing your income. On this same date, Mercury also enters your sign (note Monday, June 17 in your calendar). This alignment of Venus and Mercury makes your words drip with honey. Witch-tip: Cast a spell by dabbing actual honey on your lips and make your words even sweeter. Now is a fabulous time to negotiate for a raise, kickstart a side hustle, or advocate for a healthier work-life balance.
Venus continues to move through the sky, entering proud Leo and your 2nd House of Possessions on Thursday, July 11, indicating that the whole summer is an excellent time to ask for what you want from the material world. And, just as the leaves begin to change, fighter Mars enters your sign, Cancer, on Wednesday, September 4, boosting your assertiveness and helping others listen. And after such a busy summer, try to relax into fall and winter, enjoying the fruits of your labor.
Remember, Cancer, while having the moon as your ruling planetary body means that you’re creative as hell and highly emotionally intelligent, there are a few downsides. One is that even though eclipses are stressful for everyone, the lunar variety affects you more than others. The first of the year comes on Monday, March 25. Put on some loungewear, eat some delicious food, and avoid the drama by saying in. Another comes later in the year on Tuesday, September 1, and we prescribe the same prescription of as much sleep and self-care as you can manage.
When lovely Venus sashays into your sign, Cancer, on Monday, June 17, prepare to feel extra pretty. Because your season starts just a few days after, on Thursday, June 20, you deserve to treat yourself to a birthday present such as delightful nails, delicious hair color, or daring eye makeup. If you’re saving funds, you can totally ask someone else to buy these delightfully vain gifts for you.
But that’s not the only time during 2024 when Venus graces you with feelings of confidence and a desire to switch up your beauty routine. When the planet enters brave Sagittarius and your 6th House of Health on Thursday, October 17, go ahead and get that cute ear piercing or even a plastic surgery consultation you’re curious about. In astrology, your 6th House of Health is about wellness, not illness, so it’s all about doing what makes you feel good, which is totally allowed to include looking good. And, on the topic of makeovers, the new moon, the phase associated with beginnings, in transformative Scorpio and your 5th House of Pleasure on Friday, November 1, begs you to finally get that makeover, minor or major.
