Spring Money: Think Community

Venus shifts into Aquarius this month, encouraging us to welcome springtime with a visionary approach to our resources. The planet of love and money in the sign of the Water Bearer makes this the perfect time to carefully consider how to use what we have for the benefit of all concerned.

As an Air sign, Aquarius is interested in community, groups and the future, and concerned with the greater good of all. Rather than hoarding resources for the individual, Aquarius would rather spread them around to benefit everyone.

Expect greater insight into how sharing your resources could potentially lead to a better future for not just yourself, but your community as well. This can be a good time to explore pooling funds to build something bigger and better, rather than saving your money for a smaller and more narrow goal.

Aquarius is a visionary and inventive sign, so experiment, take risks and explore concepts that are beneficial for the future.

After Venus in Capricorn’s more conservative approach to spending, there could be a bit of temptation to let loose now that Venus is in freedom-loving Aquarius. This would be a mistake, as benefits will only come from using resources for planned goals, rather than aimlessly spending for immediate gratification. That said, during Venus’ transit through Aquarius (until March 27), be sure to upgrade any outdated technological items.

Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) will thrive during this Venus transit, benefitting from fast-paced social interactions and exchanging information. Financial gains are possible through connections with others.

Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) are energized and inspired by Venus in Aquarius. The freedom and independence of this Venusian energy keeps them on their toes and encourages creativity and self-expression.

Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) may find it harder to connect with friends and family now and they can also be a little wary of the fast-paced movement of electric Venus. This can be a good time for Water signs to learn to curb any tendencies towards oversensitivity and clinginess.

Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) may feel a little jolted by the energizing influence of Venus in Aquarius. They could resist the impulse to make changes and instead stubbornly dig in their heels to slow down the pace. Earth signs can grow now by learning how to be flexible and going with the flow.
