Venus opposed Saturn: This can't be good.

Venus in sizzly Aquarius is moving in on an opposition to Saturn in Leo tomorrow. Not a biggie - it'll all be over by Saturday - but just long enough to make you wonder what you ever saw in your sweetie and to temporarily tighten a tourniquet around your bank account.

Let me break it down for you.

With Venus in Aquarius, the impulse is toward unrestrained individuality. But Saturn in Leo is all about the dark forces that insist we kowtow to The Man. Or whoever. So someone in your sphere is gearing up to play Strother Martin's badass captain in Cool Hand Luke ("What we have here is a failure to communicate") - Saturn in Leo, if you will - to your irrepressible, nonconformist Paul Newman (Venus in Aquarius). In turn, in a kind of karmic relay race, you'll no doubt pass on the favor by getting all Strother Martin on somebody else.

Here's some insider information about Leo: just tell us what we want to hear, and then you can do whatever the hell you want. Just pretend to be respectful, and we won't have any trouble. But of course, that's the one thing Aquarius is constitutionally unable to do... unless....

Well, it is Venus in Aquarius, after all; and if anyone knows how to get around Leo, it's the Venus-ruled, particularly Libra. Libra definitely has something to teach Aquarius about handling the Big Cat. Observe him closely, and emulate his methods: When the tension gets too thick in the next day or two, just compliment Strother Martin on his hat, and we can avoid all that unpleasantness with the billy club.
