Feel the smooth warm breeze gently stirring the perfect green fronds softly hovering over your hammock. You glance lazily at the delicious drink you are idly twirling, watching the cool bubbles softly bursting to into the world as you stare at them in delight. A glancing beam of light catches the glass, causing you to look up at the most hue-splashed magical award-winning sunset ever. You feel your face grow luminous in an enormous smile that is aimed at the glorious, limitless, expansive, and radiant sky. You are soaked in the sheer wonder of it all, and utterly content.

That is Venus entering its home sign of Libra in 2 hours (16 August). Conjour up your happy place in pleasant land, and channel that beautiful feeling of fulfillment and light over the next few weeks (until 10 September). This is a 'wunderbar' energy that encourages you to be diplomatic, pleasant, and nice. Collaborate, find a win-win solution, work together, keep the peaceful flow going. This Goddess Venus also brings blessings, opportunities, and some gracious boons - if you play nice. 

If you feel your radiance being blighted by looming dark clouds and threatening static storms - try find the silver lining. There is charm floating around in the universe right now, use it to see beyond the dark and catch the sparkle, or at least imagine a friendly breeze while you take a deeeeep breath, and try again. 

Use this time to celebrate the warmth, love and luxury of beauty loving Venus in Libra. Appreciate the good stuff, break out the inherited china tea set for an afternoon tea, go see that exciting new theatre show, do a bit of carefree dancing around your living room, sing in your shower ... indulge your fancies and fly away on a bubble.

There are of course other influences warring for your attention, and well - life. But this little whisper from the universe is to remind you about trying to find balance. In this case, it's actually asking you to tip it over a little more towards the la-la land side, and find your bliss now and then. You won't be sorry you indulged your soul in a little inspiration and balancing beauty.

Blessings, hearts, love, fulfillment, wonder, balance, sunlight - and all things that make you feel good.
