Venus moved into Pisces today and stays there until May 3rd.
If you look at this transit from a Tarot perspective, it’s like the Empress is dressed as the Moon. She’s all but disappeared in the night.
Venus in Pisces, or the Empress dressed as the Moon, is a good time to embrace your own unconscious depths.
Nurture your psychic energies through art, poetry or creative visualizations.
And try not to be afraid. Feelings that are usually expressed out loud might be less open than usual. That doesn’t mean they’re any less deep.
There’s as much beauty in the dark as there is in the light. It’s just not flashy. Dive into the mysteries and enjoy what you can never know for sure.

Venus moves into Aquarius today and will be there until April 5th.
If we look at this transit through the eyes of the Tarot, it would be like the Empress is wearing the Star’s clothing. In other words, she’s thrown off her robe and is in the nude.
Venus in Aquarius, or the Empress being as naked as the Star, is a wonderful time to give and receive love.
It’s a love beyond romance or sexuality. It’s a deep compassion and empathy for everyone and everything.
This is a great time to recognize not only our own hurts and scars, but those of others as well. Offer emotional support where you can, and be open to accepting it in kind.
And if there was a better time to visit a spa, I can’t think of one.
Let yourself heal and hope. Whatever’s gone on before, there’s a beautiful new day soon to come.

Venus in Capricorn, or the Empress in the Devil’s clothing is a time of creative intensity and physical manifestation.
Focus on getting things done and making them real, but do so with compassion for yourself and others.

Celebrate and love with passion, but try not to chain yourself to anything for too long.
