Venus at 1 degree Pisces forms a sextile to Jupiter at 1 degree Taurus at 6:49 pm PT.

Life is good. Very good. We live for moments like these, don’t we? Warm and affectionate emotions flow, smoothing the way for social contacts and business negotiations. Demonstrate genuine interest in what other people are saying and you’ll learn more than you expect.

A beneficial relationship could start under this favorable influence; you’ll know it when you see it. Taking a younger person underwing and becoming a mentor is a wonderful use of this energy.

On a more mundane level, we take more care with our appearance than usual, and it’s a great time to get a snazzy new haircut or purchase some new clothes.

Just beware that you don’t pay too much — a distinct danger with this transit, as we feel loose with money right now and generous to a fault. A party would be a great idea. Our ability to relate is heightened and we feel upbeat and attractive.

If you have Venus sextile Jupiter as a natal influence:

Somehow, no matter how bad things seem to get, you always seem to have confidence that the situation will improve, and soon. Your optimistic nature and faith in the future are among your best traits. All that, and you’re nice, too!

Not only are you charming, sociable and pleasant to be around, your cheerful attitude inspires and comforts other people, and your genuine good will toward everyone sets a fine example of positive thinking for those around you. And you are truly generous, giving freely to friends and strangers alike, to anyone who seems like they can benefit from what you have.

When opportunities come your way to help out folks in need, you’re there, whether it means a cash donation, serving food at a homeless shelter or showing up on Saturday morning to help a friend move. If you have a fault, it’s likely to one of self-indulgence.

You’re not exactly lazy, but you prefer the easier road to the harder one, and may enjoy too many sweets and treats. ‘Just one more little cookie can’t hurt,’ you tell yourself, and down that road lies danger. However, these are the problems of someone whose life is a good and enjoyable one, and you are a purveyor of the Good Life!
