Feb 3, 2017: you’ll remember that Mr. Trump and other of his minions threatened the ruination of the Dodd-Frank legislation and its protections for the American people and the US economy during his campaign and since, and today he’s been chipping away at, and will ultimately destroy, its provisions. That seems reckless and irrational because, since having Dodd-Frank in place, the US economy has
Either Mrs.
Conway’s bogus claim about a Bowling Green terror attack is a diversionary tactic going into the weekend to cover more damage Trump and the Republicans intend to perpetrate, or the lady has been reading and believing some of that there fake news:

Venus moves into Aries today – in fact she’d already have been there a few hours as this goes to press. Because she goes retrograde this year (I told you all about that here) the stay in Aries is an…
As you may already know, I talk to Alex “the Dark Lord” Lester on BBC Oxford on the first Friday of every month at around 1.30GMT. From January, Alex’s producer is making a short video of me on the day. I’m allowed one minute — an interesting challenge. Here’s today’s — on the right. Note to self: try not to look so serious.

What happens when the Mars in Capricorn goat collides with the Moon in Aries ram?

Venus enters Aries on February 3rd. The planet of relationships, money, self-esteem and values is in her opposite sign here. Technically, her detriment. Venus’ focus on relationships doesn’t sit easily in this “me first” sign. However, self-esteem and initiative can soar, if you’re ready to put yourself first.
The desire for something new is pronounced. This is the perfect time to view yourself in a bold, new light -personal image, creative projects or social contacts (for business or pleasure) can benefit from a bit of impulse and confidence. New attractions can be hot and fast-moving, but there’s no guarantee they’ll last.
The initial draw towards something/someone can be all-consuming, which is great for starting things. The courage to go after what you want will increase, because Venus in Aries loves a challenge. If something’s not quite available, it becomes ultra-desirable. Competition is sexy. This will be enhanced by Mars in Aries.
Mars and Venus will be activating the same section of your chart until March 9th. The two won’t meet up, but there will be a combo of action and attraction that’s quite effective.
Will you get what you want, and will it last? Some of it will. But some of what occurs will only grab your attention and remind you that you’re still alive. After the catalyst pushes you out of a rut, the attraction/situation will burn out. Even if this happens, you’ll still be in a brand new place, ready to keep moving forward.
Venus will square Juno in Capricorn on February 3rd – her transit will be immediately marked by the tension between new relationship impulses versus existing rules and commitments.
Venus Rx
This transit will feature Venus retrograde in Aries and Pisces. New attractions/results will be put on hold. You’ll be reviewing the excitement, to see if it’s more than just a hot flash. Is there enough fuel for the fire to last? Newly expressed values and confidence will be tested. Are you courageous enough to keep running with what you’ve started? Are you strong enough to keep putting yourself first? Venus Rx can also reconnect you to a love interest from the past.
As Venus Rx backs into Pisces, the new impulse will be further tested. Before it can continue, something will need to be released. It’s notable that she’ll make two squares to Saturn in Sag. This will take you back to the Venus/Saturn square (and Aquarius New Moon) of January 27th. The limits you encountered then will be repeated, as a final test. A demand of proof that the new developments are real. This test will involve your courage, independence and strength of will. Your commitment to something new may be tested. Or, an existing commitment in the face of something new (and more exciting) may be tested. Aries can be immature, and that won’t cut it under a Venus/Saturn square. There’s a difference between confidence and bratty self-entitlement.
Once Venus stations direct and reenters Aries, you’ll know if the situation is a keeper. You’ll know if you can sustain what you started.
Here are the aspects Venus in Aries/Pisces will make:
