At the same time that you are heading into the second full week of the month long wind down of your old solar year, Venus is not only already in Virgo but is getting ready to leave on Friday. With the Sun still weeks away from his return to Virgo later in the month to begin your birthday month and new solar year, Venus is getting in first with a chance to give your heart a voice and a say in what you want from the coming year. At the same time, Venus’ early return is set to have implications, though not here and instead, after she returns to your income sector on Friday. This is over six weeks before the Sun’s return on the September equinox each year and so early that it will force Venus to slow down and eventually turn retrograde. Normally moving through in 24 days, by the time Venus leaves next month she will have been here for five weeks and her retrograde turn will see her return in October and not leave again until December. In the wake of last week’s Full Moon in your work sector and in time to catch Mars before he leaves your career sector next week, Venus is returning to kick off the most lucrative months of 2026.
