Venus retrograde and the waning gibbous Moon form an auspicious trine under Aries and Sagittarius, setting the stage for great strides in self-improvement and, in that same breath, self-love. This fiery alignment kickstarts motivation to start caring for yourself a little better, whether physically, mentally, financially, or some combination of the three. But remember, stargazer: just because prosperity lies on the other side of this endeavor won’t necessarily make the initial process any easier. Knowing how to improve means understanding how you’re currently falling short, and staring at these deficiencies head-on can be uncomfortable. Rest assured that these feelings are only temporary.
