By The Astrologer, Kelli Fox Today, selfish Venus will oppose delusional Neptune, causing problems in romantic relationships. Instead of obsessing over problems, lavish a loved one with affection. Being neglectful could cause a serious rift. It's better to be generous. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, present a partner with a beautiful gift. Single people may feel isolated and lonely under this influence. Rather than focusing on feelings of alienation, cultivate an appreciation for independence. Savor the ability to choose movies, restaurants and music without having to consult anyone else. Plan a vacation to a destination that has always been a source of fascination. Looking ahead, attractive Venus will form a trine to seductive Pluto. Romantic relationships could enjoy an extra dash of spice. It will also be a good time to ask for a favor or apply for a loan. If you're celebrating your birthday today, the year ahead urges you to put an end to wishful thinking. Instead of dreaming about your ideal life, take practical steps toward it. It may be necessary to live on a tight budget in order to move across country, switch jobs or live on your own. Take the plunge.
