This week both Venus and Mars move from business-like Capricorn into the renewal sign of Aquarius.

Sunday, March 6: Today we see both Venus and Mars leave business-like Capricorn for the sign of renewal â Aquarius. This dance between the two “love planets” has been in play for several weeks now. Today, thereâs a new song to dance to and that song is Aquarius with all the forward thinking, replenishing and new creation energy associated with that sign.
