On the 14th, Venus conjoins the Sun in Leo, presenting you with a love interest that dazzles on the social scene. Third Week. The Full Moon in Aquarius spotlights the house of friendships (the 11th). Love blooms in group settings. Fourth Week. Venus enters Virgo, placing passion on the back burner. Skilled workaholics replace princes and peacocks on your radar screen.
