After spending the past few weeks in Virgo, Venus felt completely rejuvenated as she emerged from the Maiden’s house of health and self-improvement. Eager to resume her role as the most beautiful, balanced and popular goddess, she smiled brightly as she gracefully made her way into the most sociable sign of the zodiac: Libra.
