Your astrological horoscope (natal chart) at birth is an important key to your personality and character, but your natal chart is not the last word about you. As time moves on after the moment of your birth, the Sun, Moon, and planets continue to circle through the heavens forming ever-changing kaleidoscopic patterns in relation to your own birth chart, bringing out or obscuring this or that part of you.

It can be useful to know how these ongoing planetary patterns relate to your life, and that is what this report is about. Here we calculate the primary astrological changes in your chart and interpret them so that you can see at a glance what is happening at any given time. Your events are arranged and interpreted chronologically, by well-known astrologer Michael Erlewine, and each event includes date and time, keywords, astrological indicator, and an astro-tarot card. We hope you enjoy your forecast.

In the tradition of astrology the planets have always been interpreted separately from the Sun and the Moon, which are called "The Lights," and for good reason. They literally light up our life and their combined interaction describes the essence of what is happening to us at any given time. Although called "The Moon Report," any mention of the Moon automatically involves the Sun, and of course, our Earth. These three, the Sun, Moon, and Earth, in their endless interaction are perhaps the single most important factor to observe in astrology.

The ever-changing relationship in the sky between the Sun and the Moon is perhaps most obvious at the Full Moon, but as we know, it is going on all the time. This report tracks the Sun-Moon relationship as it relates to your particular natal horoscope and birth chart, detailing all of the major events that take place in the current month for a specific life area and planet. The Moon has always represented the 'mother', meaning anything that nurtures or cares for us, our support system, however that is made up. It also indicates our emotional makeup, how we feel about things, and the nostalgia of the past - where we came from.

On the other hand, the Sun represents the 'father' principle and the future, where we are heading toward and, to some degree, the means we have to get there. The Sun burns brightly, while the Moon is cool and comforting. The two together mark the endless play between the past and the future, and we here on Earth, are caught right in the middle, that is: the present.

Your Venus Forecast

This forecast reports combines the Sun, Moon, and Earth with one of the traditional planets, in this case the planet Venus, and examines their interplay. The resulting forecasts points out all major activity for the coming time period that involves that planet. Let's take a moment to review some of the traditional meanings for Venus.

Venus is the planet of love and compassion, everything we care about and also how we go about caring. The planet Venus not only relates to questions of romance, but is also all about our values, what we value, and the value of things in our life. This is why Venus is also connected to money, wealth, and all 'valuables'- what we value. So Venus also has to do not just with love and appreciation, but also with the appreciation and value of things in general, whether they are gems, antiques, or just plain money.

At the same time, the higher sensitivities of Venus signify care and compassion, the more infinite side of our love. This forecast has to do with how Venus is configured in your natal chart for the immediate future. We hope you enjoy it.

Before we present your Venus forecast for the coming months, let's review how the planet Venus is configured in your natal or birth chart. What follows is an interpretation of Venus at your birth to the Sun, Moon, and other planets. It should help to give you a general idea of how you approach matters of love and values. Here goes:

Planning Stages

Your love of family, children, and the past, in general, naturally tend to organize themselves into plans and schemes that you want to carry out and see implemented. You are very methodical about this sort of thing.

Hidden Love

You naturally respect your elders, those in authority, and anyone with real life experience. You cherish what real experience represents, and you naturally tend to reduce this in your mind to the lessons or essential elements - what can be learned. Getting down to the nitty-gritty is what you do. Using your powers of appraisal, you critically appreciate something, keeping only the seed essence of the matter or experience, and tossing the rest to the wind.

Ideas of Love

You have a natural penchant for thoughts and words of love and a love of thoughts and words, all that is lovely and fine, and the desire to share this with the world.

Let Love In

Things might be just a little wild or turbulent at times in your life, but there is usually a growing awareness then on your part, and possibly even a sense of pride, relating to desire, or something more physical. You like to take control and owning these experiences. You probably enjoy sports, adventure, and sharing these subjects with others. Learning to listen and work with situations may be important.

Teach Success

Life may be somewhat difficult at times, but life experiences should find you getting a better handle on career and success plans, and also bring increased awareness of your feelings about your career, in general, and a sense that you have greater control in these areas. You love your career and any path that leads somewhere, and enjoy sharing this with others.

Change of Direction

There will be times where you will have more awareness of how to get more out of things, be more economical and just plain practical, if not downright frugal. You are, suddenly, a tough appraiser of things and ideas. You may find that being a good listener, and working with a situation is what it takes to get the job done.

Experiencing Freedom

You will have experiences of real independence, freedom, the sheer love of being different or eccentric. Could also refer to times when you are inventive, or appreciate variety or what is different.

Connecting

You always find the perfect times to explore and/or complete, in detail, something inspirational in your life, whether that be as simple as pursuing an interest in movies, music, or film, or something more spiritual. The idea is to finish something already started, rather than to start something new.

Sharing Power

At times you are just naturally more aware of a desire and concern to change yourself or make some transformation, to get into matters of depth and/or vulnerability. Also, you like to communicate these somewhat taboo or sensitive matters to others. Teaching.
