This is the time to get practical and grounded when it comes to matters of the heart. Venus in Capricorn brings starry eyes and fireworks down to earth, and Mars in Virgo harmonizes alongside Venus with a dedication to the details that makes everything run just a little bit more smoothly. Though earth signs aren’t known for being all that exciting when it comes to love, sometimes there’s nothing better than a cozy someone you can depend on. Follow-through, accountability and consistency can be just as sexy as a quickie on the kitchen table if you know how to appreciate the more subtle thrills in life.
During the course of Venus’ trine to Mars (active December 5-7), it’s possible to gain a deeper understanding of what’s real in your relationships. You can achieve greater clarity about long-term possibilities and move forward on plans for the future. The easy-going relationship between these two planets offers you up a “get-it-done” zone that won’t last forever. If you’re in the midst of planning a wedding or navigating the ups and downs of living together for the first time, you’ll have a little extra assistance now from the planets of love and lust.
Earth signs like to take things slow, so if you’ve been moving full speed ahead in a relationship, this could be a time when things taper down and settle into more of a routine. You’ll likely have plenty of opportunities to work alongside your significant other now, taking care of mundane tasks and completing projects that you have begun. Try to enjoy the little moments that may not seem to matter much, as Venus and Mars move gently together, offering you up the gift of gratitude for the simple pleasures of life.
