Transit Reminders
Venus in Pisces makes a sextile to Vesta in Taurus, at 2 degrees. Venus in Pisces' divine energy feeds Vesta's earthy temple, as the sacred and mundane harmonize (Venus also rules Taurus and is exalted in Pisces, so her power is enhanced). The devotion to essential needs, or a self-sustaining pursuit, can be integrated with a selfless urge to love/heal someone else. Or, the romantic dream can take form through dedication to available resources.
Venus in Pisces then goes on to square Mars in Sagittarius, at 3 degrees. Mars aggressively pursues Venus, which indicates chemistry, even if actions (Mars) overwhelm the target (Venus). It's a wildly expansive influence, as new creative or romantic possibilities sizzle. But on the same day, there's also a square between Saturn in Sagittarius and Mercury in Pisces, at 16 degrees. The possibilities that Venus/Mars kick up will go arm in arm with reasons why you'll have to be cautious. Too, Saturn can add commitment to what might otherwise be a fleeting moment. August 6th will repeat these squares to Mars and Saturn, with Venus and Mercury in Virgo.
