Where the love planet Venus goes, love follows… This week, Venus moves into your second house of cash, property and possessions, where she'll stay for around four weeks. On the one hand, you do need to watch yourself, if you know you have a tendency to spend more than you should. You could find yourself feeling very flush now – but be sure you can cover your basic expenses before you go lashing out cash on something which has taken your fancy but which you maybe should be hesitating over. Your tastes might be more expensive than usual but before you give into your desires, double check with your accountant or whoever else is likely to go "Tsk tsk" if and when you spend up big on things you don't really need! The up side of this Venus cycle is that you can expect more financial opportunities to come your way. Keep your eyes peeled and you could find the period lucrative. Also use this four-week period as a chance to work on your self-esteem. Don't just think about that – do it. Start by making a list of what you know is Uniquely Wonderful about you. Seriously. Then ask your best friend what he/she thinks is Uniquely Wonderful about you. Try it.

Moon into Taurus. Today’s a major day in the 2009 astrological calendar as Jupiter changes signs, moving from Capricorn into Aquarius, where he’ll stay for the next 12 months. Of course, as Jupiter is the planet of good luck and expansion, this is particularly good news for Aquarians (and their opposite sign Leo), but it’s also good news for us all in one way or another. Put it this way, no matter what your Star sign, your luck in one part of your life is about to change – stay tuned for more info.
