Loving Venus enters attentive Cancer, cultivating nurturing instincts. It's a great time to enjoy the company of children, pets and friends. Tending to a garden or making delicious food is favored under this gentle influence. Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces may especially enjoy looking after their nearest and dearest. In addition, pessimistic Saturn makes a square to idealistic Neptune. It's easy to fall prey to negative thinking under this influence. Face fears and push past them. Instead of abandoning a dream, pursue it. It is better to try and fail than always wonder what might have been. Looking ahead, the Full Moon will rise in principled Sagittarius, putting a special emphasis on ethics. A square between Mercury and Neptune warns against listening to sob stories. If it's your birthday today, the year ahead could prompt you to champion your dreams. Instead of letting pessimists influence your decisions, listen to your heart. Devoting more time to friends, family and hobbies will be a welcome change. If you're looking for love, you could find it with a sensitive person who has great business sense.
