thank you so much for posting this! it sounds like i needed it, and the insight is great! it's given me a lot to think about with my personal life...
Lynn,
Thank you. I'm very new to this venue and I have alot of questions. You say on Tuesday Jupiter turns direct, will catch up with Chiron for the healing dance. What does this mean and how will it affect a Libra?
Thanks again, Lynn
Hi, Lynn. I thought I'd add this for your readers. I also do a weekly forecast, but specifically attuned to small business matters.
On Thursday, Venus moves into a challenging relationship with Pluto in Capricorn. Venus rules money and Pluto rules the economy as a whole, including banking and taxes. This could go either way: something will probably come to light regarding your financial situation, but Pluto can uncover either treasures or losses, depending on what you’ve set in motion in the past. But don’t be afraid, because…
On Thursday we are protected by the Hindu celebration of Dhanteras. In the word Dhanteras, “Dhan” means wealth. During this celebration, the goddess Lakshmi, a very Venus-like goddess, is worshiped as the one who provides prosperity. In the business community, business people purchase gold and silver to keep in their safes, as precious metals are thought to attract good luck. So by remembering Lakshmi on this day we invite her blessings of wealth and prosperity into our lives and businesses.
Ellen, it's hard to say how the square of Venus to Pluto will go. Venus will be leaving Virgo for its own sign of Libra which is likely to create more ease in the markets. But once Pluto enters Libra and squares Pluto, there will definitely be tension.
Thanks. I really missed it! Happy Earthday and Many soular returns!
