November 17: Venus trine Mars

Venus and Mars are the most famous lovers in the heavens, so when they get together, we all feel the need to act out the ardor they're known for. When they're wearing earth signs, however, (as they are at the moment) it's not momentary passion we're after -- it's permanence. In their current positions, these heavenly lovers endow one and all with the patience and tolerance necessary to make a relationship work, even if it means overcoming some hurdles and extending or accepting some apologies in the process. If a loved one approaches you with a rather contrite expression on their face, don't think about your pride. Consider what's really important in the long run.
