Today, Venus the planet of love, moves into Pisces, where she is very happy to reside. And this transition finally breaks up some of the fiery, revolutionary energy of Aquarius that we all have been under for the past weeks. And, if there’s one thing we all want, it’s to feel loved and to be loved. We want to feel deeply connected to other people, fully seen, heard and appreciated by them, and secure in those relationships. And, although you can have a million and one acquaintances online, or through your work, if none of your connections feel intimate and meaningful, you will ultimately feel alone. Today, allow the loving energies of Venus in Pisces to help you begin to open up your love valves and to be willing to let love in and be willing to begin to think of love in new ways. When you tell yourself the same things over and over again about love and relationships, you end up creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you tell yourself that people don’t care, you’ll put that energy into the world and then easily find evidence to back it up. If you tell yourself you’ll never experience love, you’ll create mental barriers and then subconsciously repel it. Today begin to tell yourself a different story that there’s a lot of love in the world, there’s plenty to go around, you deserve it, and it’s coming to you every day. In telling yourself that love is coming to you every day, you’re not merely lying to yourself; you’re taking responsibility for recognizing the love around you. It might not be from the person you want to be with romantically. It might not meet the standards and criteria you defined in your head. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Today, allow Venus to help you see and appreciate the love all around you, and it will surely multiply because you’ll come to potential new relationships with a sense of wholeness instead of lack. We all deserve to feel loved by the people in our lives, but first you need to be willing and able to love yourself. That’s what it takes to feel deeply connected: to feel deeply connected to yourself and confident in the love that you can give. Today open your heart knowing there’s a chance it may be broken and in opening your heart, you will experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible.

Just for today, I recognize that I have come to this planet to learn to love myself more and to share that love with others. Loving myself and others allows me to be all that I can be. I do not have to earn love. I am worthy of love because I exist. I am loveable. I am loving. I am loved. I am love and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.
