Everyday Life Gets Sweeter

If you've been in the freezer of love and cut off from the warmth of an intimate connection, that should all change for you this month, Taurus. From February 11 to March 6 Venus, your romantic ruling planet, shifts out of chilly Aquarius and enters the warmer and more emotionally friendly waters of Pisces. Sure, you may have gained a friend with Venus in Aquarius or found yourself earning recognition for your hard work, commitment to a task or sense of responsibility. But there's something unworldly about Aquarius that tends to make you feel like your feet (and your relationships) aren't planted solidly on the ground. Of course, the upside has been the possibility of expanding your tastes and exploring new and different kinds of people and pleasures. Yet even if you're having a good time, there's a sense of unreality, as if you are watching your life instead of playing a lead role in it.

Traditional astrology considers Venus "exalted" in Pisces, meaning that the compassionate and idealistic qualities of the sign support the romantic inclinations of the planet. So you can expect more care from your friends and colleagues as of February 11, perhaps providing the little touches of attention that make everyday life sweeter. Going out with a group of people is another way to benefit from this transit, because the chances of connecting with someone new come more easily when you're with pals, classmates or co-workers. Meeting a person or deepening a relationship when working for a common cause is favored while Venus is in Pisces.
