Venus enters Virgo today at 4:01 PM! Venus has been in Leo for a long, long time. For most of the summer, it was retrograde, which means that issues concerning Venusian themes (love, beauty, prosperity, and harmony) were difficult to work with. Plus, this retrograde was hitting us right where it hurts: Our ego, making us question whether or not we are loved or wanted. Venus's entry into Virgo now gives us a fresh start— it's a strange combination, no? Venus, goddess of love, working with the sign of the virgin? Only time will tell how this combination works out…
