Where communication or exchanges are concerned, something reassuring and helpful can come from what you may have sensed would be dull or uninspiring. So, relax the mental filter on what you say because you needn't fear that your head and mouth won't work in tandem. In fact, you could be surprised where one seemingly irrelevant conversation heads and ends up. Let words flow!

Oscar Wilde said something about “knowing the cost of everything but the value of nothing.” Of course, life would be dull if we didn't permit ourselves a luxury now and again. But it's worth reminding yourself that having or owning more isn't why we're here. Maybe not all the best things in life are free, but many are! So, where an intensified focus on material things might be concerned, try to dial it back.

You might feel nudged to adopt a relaxed or light-hearted approach to a matter you normally take seriously. But with Venus influencing your values and self-esteem, you mustn't convince yourself that people won't be interested if you show some flexibility. You bring positive energy to a scenario that involves gaining support or approval. On every level, choose to be calm and sensitive.

With your ruling planet, Venus, at home and comfy in your sign, harmony should be easier to detect and create. Something warm or sweet replaces tension now. Whatever shifts or is about to alter should help you feel more in control of what has felt uncertain or chaotic. You're first in line for the comfort Venus brings, and feeling more confident will be the first of many symptoms!

You receive a cosmic reminder about how it's always possible to have “too much of a good thing.” So, it's in your best interests to summon restraint to reduce the likelihood of regret later. Of course, the universe doesn't enjoy raining on your parade. But it does suggest that self-discipline applied toward certain indulgences will serve you well now and into the future.

The saying “it's not all it's cracked up to be” comes to mind now. You may have reasons for not wanting to probe or ask questions about something you've dismissed as falling short of expectations. But these may have been formed too rigidly. So, try allowing room for flexibility and spontaneity. You may not have allowed enough time for something to truly reveal its potential.

If I were in trouble and needed help, I'd be relieved to receive it from a Leo! Your generosity and protective qualities are probably exceptional. But these wonderful assets can encourage others who aren't as nice as you to take advantage of your goodwill. It might be worth turning up the volume on your intuition where assisting someone is concerned.

Your forward-thinking talents could be on-form. But keeping futuristic visions to yourself doesn't help others – or you, for that matter. For reasons known best to you, others are deprived of something that inspires or maybe even excites you. But a proud glow awaits by sharing an idea or a plan with one receptive person. What's in it for them? Gratitude. They could be glad they paid attention.

It may be necessary to deliver a clear message to some individuals who believe your head is attached to a spring and can only move up and down. Of course, not agreeing to assist someone who needs your help or input would be uncharacteristic of you. But you may need to be choosier about who gets your time, focus and effort now. You can't and shouldn't say “yes” to everyone.

Saturn influences indulgences and the “finer things in life.” So, you'll bring positive karma by restricting what offers short-term fixes with fun and joy. But you could boost your feel-good factor by turning up the discipline involved with a creative plan or pursuit. It might feel like more rules are attached, but as you'll see, these help you.

Attracting attention or putting yourself in a proverbial spotlight will have benefits. But try not to apply self-created restrictions to how close you allow others or someone in particular to get. The more you remember that proper, helpful interaction and communication must be two-way streets, the more grateful you'll be to have made yourself available and accessible to others.

We're taught from a young age to “save for a rainy day.” Back when that saying was created, there was probably zilch to do on a rainy day that involved spending. Online purchases weren't an option! But heed your inner voice if it tells you that building a cash reserve is timely and essential. Fortunately, you can do this now with much less effort than you've needed during the past few years.
