Ah, love of friends and family, and what we will do to foster them. There’s quite a bit of affection in the air today, and it seems those bonds of affection may be best served by going into debt. But seriously, today is bounded by Venus being trine Jupiter while the Moon is square to it, which can lead us all into loosening the purse strings in pursuit of admiration. By all means, open your heart, but keep your wits about you. One’s magicks (as well as one’s bank account) may be employed to manifest one’s desires.
