A conversation opener I contributed some astrological compatibility thoughts to for the House of Wellness magazine, by Charlotte Brundrette. READ ARTICLE HERE
It’ a complex topic but we’re hardwired for connection so I love the astrology of relationships, relating, synastry and composite charts-and then there’s facilitating awareness, acceptance, compassion and boundaries.
There’s more to your day than your morning coffee/chai/smoothie, just like there’s more to you than your Sun sign. Read the article I wrote for Whimn magazine detailing why you’re missing the point and how you can learn so much more to help you navigate life, love, success, and happiness.
AND why you’re probably reading the WRONG horoscope over said, coffee/chai/smoothie, and how to get it right! Yes you read that correctly! The wrong horoscope!

You’re in the thick of the cut and thrust of the Venus Retrograde. Check out my free birth chart calculator to see what your rising sign is at https://astroallstarz.com/birthchart/ It’s the sign ruling the 1st house of your chart. Look for early degrees Scorpio and late degrees of Libra – That’s where she’s re-modeling in your life!
See my last post here to learn more about Venus retro & Check out where Venus is clearing out love and financial zombies in your life. Horoscopes like these are based on your rising/ascendant sign, NOT your Sun/Star sign.
SCORPIO rising -1st house
appearance, outlook, first impressions
Straight up this is time for a makeover. First impressions count, what can you do to overhaul yours? Is your outlook outdated? How can you adjust yours to better serve you? What are your beliefs about love? As you believe so you’ll find – transform them so you are open to more favorable options to appear on your horizon.
LIBRA rising – 2nd house
your things, money, income, resources, self-worth.
Your relationship with material resources are underpinned by your self-worth, it’s time to look at what you need to shore up so the money flows. Do you equate your success with your self-worth? It’s time to transform that and focus on the self-worth, rather than the external validation if you have this equation back to front.
VIRGO rising – 3rd house
local hood, siblings, education, rational mind
Venus is gracing your local environment…your local barista maybe looking particularly fetching this month! Or you’ll run into an ex on the go-think twice about sex with an ex over the venus retro-this person may simply be here to remind you of something you need to let go of, transform or transcend. Remember, it’s usually it’s more about you than them.
Be open to all the people that you run into on the daily, you may have been missing some golden opportunities to connect.
How can you transform your thoughts so they better serve your beliefs on love and relating?
LEO rising – 4th house
home and family environment
If you have Leo rising you may literally be redecorating your home. Watch for some blasts from the past that stir up your feels. Family members you haven’t heard from for awhile may come calling. This will be about re-defining your relationship to them, or to yourself if you need some healing.
CANCER rising – 5th house
fun, love affairs, children, creative self-expression
Bring back the romance! Redefine what you actually want on date night, and check back in with activities you do for fun. This area needs an overhaul. Your children may come home to roost or touch base so welcome them in and give them what they need in terms of self-worth. Take them out and remind them how to have fun like when they were young children.
GEMINI rising – 6th house
daily work zone, mind/body health & connection, routine
The way you work and make your daily doll ar is up for a re-haul. You know you need to change your work zone but tend to resist the C word at all costs. Venus is your ascendant ruler so this is an important one for you. Jupiter has been bringing in the work as it’s been traveling through this area and you’re tipping over the edge with work. Time to consolidate and take it to the next level. Relationships with clients and work colleagues are also going through an overhaul. If nothing is changing, you’re not doing it right. Look for some skeletons popping up, old work/love flames reappearing and maybe even a love zombie blast from the past you’d really rather forget.
TAURUS Ascendant – 7th house
1:1 equal relationship and partnerships, the ‘other’
You get a double whammy. Venus is in your house of love and marriage, casting spells and working her magic to exorcize demons from the past that stand in the way of deep connection on an equal footing. The key word here is equal. Check your own self-worth and give love to yourself. The way you and your partner deal with money may come up or money could literally come via a significant other. You are most likely to experience a visitation from ghosts of lovers past, even if that’s memories or issues that have resurfaced and you need to let go of. Do some cord cutting, give gratitude for all you learned and your apologies for whatever part you played at the time so you are free to love now.
ARIES Ascendant – 8th house
sex, other peoples money/resources, the hidden and occult
Don’t give into the lower impulse to snatch someone else’s wig, and do hold on to your own!
PISCES Ascendant – 9th house
International media, travel, people and higher education
Your philosophies around love are up for remodeling now. Take the time to reform them so you’re served the dish you truly want.
Wait for the retro to finish before any travel plans are locked down. Use this time to plan only. You might want to travel with female friends or your partner. If single you may meet your soul mate on your journey. At the very least keep your ear open for an accent, as the 9th house represents people from foreign countries. Travel may be transformative so make sure you include Venus by going to places of beauty and appreciating art.
You may have the opportunity to make money through travel or education so stay open to that and look for opportunities.
AQUARIUS Ascendant -10th house
Career and public image
You are ready to change the way you relate to your career and public image. Support yourself by working on any self-worth issues that need transforming in order for you to next level.
CAPRICORN Ascendant – 11th house
Groups, peers, friends, social interest
Do your peer groups or friendship groups need an overhaul? Do you need to transform the way you relate to them? You may find a special someone from your entrepreneurial groups standing out to you now, ask them out!
SAGITTARIUS Ascendant – 12house
Mysticism, dreams, the collective
Time to get metaphysical and go on an inward journey to re-locate your relationship to love and yourself. Self-worth can be renewed with inward journeying through meditation, or merging with the larger natural world. Look to your dreams now and journal them when you wake up. They could reveal some helpful insight. You’ll be tapped into Venus issues in the collective right now. Share your wisdom and you’ll be on the money.
Next post includes intentions to clear your emotional love cache’ +the global perspective
If you want to make the most of getting your relationships and money mindset on track, let’s see what the stars say for you, book in for a session here

It’s FULL MOON FEVER again with a lovely n large La Luna calling for us to burn our baggage to better focus on what’s real and now.
Like sea life drawn up from the depths into view by lunar light, our instinctual, emotional nature presses in. Fiery feels are at full beam.
Full Moons are a culmination of intent and action sewn 6 months prior on the NEW Moon in ARIES. What harvest are you reaping? How are your emotional and safety needs being met? Are you being nurtured? Is it a Full Moon feast or famine?
To refresh your memory look back on the New Moon post (link below) or check your calendar for
28 March, 2017
Burn Baby Burn
This months Full Moon is in a super awks position that calls us to transform or die trying. (Square Pluto in Capricorn). Box your way out of inner emotional broils if there’s any baggage pulling you back into an emotional pit you thought you’d cleared a few rounds ago. Fight the good fight and be prepared to face some tar babies. That deeper gunk can be gruelling to shake off. You’ve got to feel it to heal it as they say. At least with Aries it’ll be a quick fight, altho it may be deep, dark and dirty with Pluto in the ring.
The key is to shred what no longer serves emotionally. Step up to the plate and take on responsibility for your deepest evolution. This Full Moon is about being self made, you’re worth the extra mile. Get some grit, find traction and take your best shot!
The Sun in the opposite sign of Libra demands a balanced account. That bat sh*t cray with tar on its wings needs closer inspection. Look at both sides and all points of view. Mercury conjunct Sun in Libra is about a fair analysis. How can you bring into balance the part of you that wants relationship harmony and lilting melodies, with the final-countdown-solo-extreme-Me-Me-Me-ME-f*ck off- part of you? Pluto will force release regardless.
Further highlighting the theme
Jupiter is rallying in favour of dynamic duos in a show down against Uranus cattle prodding nuptial bliss in favour of solo one up man ship – I’m joining a gym to blow off extra steam! Essentially, find the balance and don’t see saw between togetherness and blazing independence.
Shadow Boxing
Check for secondary gains..if you’re bemoaning being single, or chasing the unavailable = still single, are you avoiding fears around losing the benefits of being solo? Sometimes there’s a reason we unconsciously avoid relationships. There may be fear about the drawbacks of relationships or we may go from extreme Miss independance and loving it to married and bickering (or much worse), pining for free wheeling solo good times (or at least sanity). It’s as if only one side can ‘win’ at a time.
The solution is to honestly appraise your beliefs about both sides and see how you can have the best of both worlds. How can you keep your love of independance alive while also enjoying the wonders of coupling up? Poke, prod and tease the truth from your heart and mind, it’s easier to see under the light of a Full Moon…failing that I’m a huge advocate of the therapists chair.
If nothing else this week will be high energy and rather exciting vibes.
Fierce Love,
Vanessa Montgomery

Venus has moved from her fiery Warrior Goddess incarnation in Aries to Earthy Goddess vibes in sensual Taurus.
From an Astrological perspective, the planet Venus signifies how we relate, & what we’re attracted to. In general, she has ‘rulership’ over areas such as values and therefore finance, art, romantic love and what we find pleasurable. (Know this and its a great way to win hearts and therefore minds 
). The sign hosting Venus adds a filter or overlay. In Taurus, the overlay is one of both pleasure and the practical hard work that goes into setting up a solid material foundation for your flavor of pleasure. Taurus Venus likes to indulge in and enjoy all those things she’s worked so hard for.
This month Venus in Taurus can help us plan and make practical steps toward manifesting our desires as well as enjoying the many pleasures in our daily lives. Since Taurus is co-ruled by Venus, this combo is as smooth and creamy as melted Belgian chocolate.
Venus begins her sojourn by reigning in the fire from a grand trine (super cosmic ease & gifts) from Make-it-happen Saturn in Sagittarius & The North Node of Destiny in self-expressive Leo. This cosmic hook-up enables Venus to ground some solid moves so make the most of the cosmic energy and either say yes when opportunity knocks or knock on doors and make your own!
It’s all about the collab with Venus, who can you partner with to move you both toward your dreams? Uranus is still conjoined with Venus, hot-wiring a jump to the next level. Push your usual comfort zone, 
TIP- do things differently for new and different results.
The ‘house’ Venus is gracing in your birth chart shows us where to expect this smooth operator to be serenading us, for example ; either we’ll meet her in the form of a neighbour (3rd house) colleague (6th house), or we’ll be the one working the charm with networking career moves (10th house). I’m hosting her in my 12th house so I’m expecting some fab dreams, smooth progressive meditations and practical/financially viable downloads from the collective conscious.
With pleasure,

This Full Moon lights up partnerships, particularly career partnering and the public image you cut together as a dynamic duo.
What have you been wishing for, particularly what seeds of intent have you sewn and watered with action and attention over the last six months since the New Moon in Libra? Now we see the harvest. Is the resulting fruit succulent and juicy? Full of flavor and verve? Or is it rather stringy and barren? Is it even the variety or indeed what you thought you’d planted?
The Full Moon brings to light the truth of your efforts so look closely, does it FEEL right? Does it meet your needs and nurture you? Decide whether to formalize your alliance. You have the chance to hit the reset button if any mistaken identities can be built upon, reframed or negotiated, or if it’s time to scrap it and go back to the drawing board. Balance communication with the wisdom of your own gut instincts and action that.
There is a lunar eclipse which tells us to take charge or take more lead than we normally would as the polarity of Sun in Aries gains more ground. Don’t let indecision or the needs of partnerships take too much precedence. Take affirmative action to counterpoint them, particularly on foundation work that supports the team. It should turn out to be mutually beneficial in the end.
