Venus, Planet of Love, takes off the jewelry, makeup and fancy clothes as she leaves Leo. Next thing you know, she's wearing a potato sack (somehow still managing to look good), taking on vows of service and humility. Venus is moving fairly slowly now and will spend five full weeks in humble Virgo. This is a good time to direct your loving energy toward acts of practical service and useful ends. Just don't get too picky.

The Moon enters Virgo at 3 minutes after midnight, Pacific time. It's in the Balsamic Phase, at 11% of full.

Today's aspects are

* Sun Sextile Jupiter - What's important now is the broader vision, the higher principle; don't bother with the little, troublesome details that can bog us down.
* Mars Sextile Saturn - Many obligations and duties keep us busy for these two weeks. We have to commit to caring for ourselves as well as our responsibilities.
* Jupiter Square Uranus - We're not hard of hearing at this time; we're hard of listening. Our excessive need for personal freedom leads to disruptive behavior.

Happy Birthday to American Idol judge Simon Cowell, who is 48, singer Toni Braxton who is 39, and to singer John Cougar Mellencamp who is 56.
