General Daily Insight for June 13, 2023
Our deepest values may undergo a rather harsh inspection at any moment. Luxurious Venus in Leo is making an uncooperative quincunx to stern Saturn in Pisces at 5:59 am EDT, leaving us wondering if we deserve to experience even the simplest of life’s pleasures. It’s easy to be dramatic as the Moon in Aries squares Pluto afterward, but life should take a calmer turn when the Moon drifts into Venus-ruled Taurus. There are still ways to enjoy what’s available to us.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
You may notice a few lingering issues keeping you from fully enjoying yourself. There is an awkward angle between Venus in your fun 5th house and Saturn in your subconscious sector, so while you may be in the mood to let your inner child run free, old baggage could bubble up that keeps you from being quite as free as you would like. Don’t let a dark mood color your entire experience right now! Take a deep breath, then try again tomorrow.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Social obligations could get in the way of your desire to follow your own path. You’re probably delighted to curl up on the couch as luxury-loving Venus moves through your 4th House of Home, turning your abode into the best joint in town. Even so, her aggravating quincunx to Saturn in your 11th House of Networks might have people demanding you come and play your part in a group affair. It may feel like an imposition, but you’ll likely have a hard time saying no.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
What you want to do and what you have to do will almost definitely be two different things today. Feel free to try bouncing around your neighborhood and seeing what’s happening as Venus spins through your 3rd House of Local Community, but you could have to buckle down when she aligns with Saturn in your 10th House of Career. Perhaps your boss has a big ask, when you’d rather just float along — or your responsibilities simply take precedence. A casual attitude won’t cut it.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Trying to attain both your highest ideals and most basic needs may strain you at present. You’re likely focused on feathering your nest as Venus visits your 2nd House of Income, but her stressful angle to Saturn could leave you wondering if it’s all worth it. Sometimes it can be difficult to step back and ask yourself what’s the point of it all. Do you really need every shiny new thing? Instead of being dangerously destabilized, try to enact more altruistic money habits.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Enjoying yourself isn’t going to be as easy as you’d wish on a day like this. Venus is highlighting the good things in life as she rolls through your sign and bestows her bounty upon you. Unfortunately, her odd quincunx to Saturn in your deeply intense 8th house could drag up everything but uncomplicated fun. Be prepared to tackle some complicated financial or legal matters that require a serious game face. If you persist with patience, you can still find success.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Romanticizing your current life may delight you, but that doesn’t mean everyone else will regard things with rose-colored spectacles. Venus is gracing your dreamy 12th house, bringing a bit of ease and grace in her wake, but she’s also making an unusual angle to stern Saturn in your partnership sector. Saturn pushes you to face reality, which could manifest in an important person pointing out a few flaws in your plans. Try to find an even balance between being optimistic and realistic.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Adjustment is key at the moment — fortunately, Libra, it should be the kind of shifts you’re best at handling. You’d probably enjoy bouncing around and playing with friends while your ruler Venus spins through your social sector, but she’s going to make a fussy quincunx to Saturn in your responsible 6th house, so you may need to tend to a few chores before you can kick up your heels. The quicker you tend to these matters, the sooner you can get them over with.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Creative capacity is increased for you at this moment, even if you don’t consider yourself an artist. There’s a rare angle between aesthetic Venus in your 10th House of Reputation and Saturn in your 5th House of Self-Expression, and together, they’re urging you to show off quite a bit. The only thing to consider is that Saturn takes itself seriously, so you may feel like you need to pull off some major debut. Don’t overwhelm yourself with high standards! Enjoy the artistic process.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Matters close to home may keep you from spreading your wings as much as you’d like right now. Venus in your adventurous 9th house is complicating things with stern Saturn in your homey 4th house, so you could need to tend to matters under your roof before you can broaden your horizons. Your travels might need to wait for another day, because Saturn won’t let you avoid these matters! Fortunately, you should feel worlds better once everything’s out of the way.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Everything could seem a little bit heavier today, as though a weighted blanket has settled over life. With Venus in your private 8th house, you’re probably keen to hold your cards close to your chest. Uncomfortable conversations may arise, even if you’d rather not discuss those topics, when Venus aligns with Saturn in your communications sector. Be prepared to establish a line of what you’re willing to discuss! People should respect your boundaries, but you must be the one to set them.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Financial matters could presently get in the way of an important relationship. Venus is in your partnership sector, doing her best to help you enjoy yourself in tandem with the people who mean a lot to you. That being said, her connection to Saturn in your income sector could create tension around money. Maybe you don’t have enough money for date night, or a close friend expects you to go all out when you’ve got a tight budget. Don’t overspend just to appease someone.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
You may come off a little bit cold today, even if that’s not your intention. People are potentially willing to make life easier for you as Venus moves through your 6th House of Daily Routine, but she’s going to make a quincunx to cold Saturn in your own sign. That could leave you creating a less-than-stellar impression! It’s one thing if you’re in a serious business meeting, but you don’t need to bring your most powerful self to every interaction. Give yourself permission to chill.
