Venus finally stations direct on September 7, which signals that you will soon be seeking broader horizons—especially at home. On one level you need more emotional space. You need the space to change and grow; to stretch into feelings other than the ones you’re so accustomed to. To what extent does your domestic space, and your relationship space, allow you this? If you get a change of scenery, you will get a good basis for comparison. Yet this also extends into the aspect of life that you might think of as creative and expressive. You are ready to take greater chances in whatever you think of as your true art or craft. You may be finally giving yourself permission to embark on this at all, or for the first time in a very long time. Be aware of your tendency to be cautious. It’s one thing to exercise restraint when you’re driving through the rain on a dark highway. It’s another matter entirely to contain yourself when you’re encountering a blank page or canvas. You don’t need to overthink any of that; in truth, when you want to express yourself, the less thinking you do the better. Trust what you’re feeling and connect that to what you say and what you express. Being this real with yourself might make you nervous at first, but it’s also great fun.
