It was St. Teresa of Avila who said that more tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones. And that’s an apt description of today’s Venus/Jupiter conjunction in Scorpio. You will get something you’ve longed for, but you won’t like how you get it. It may come at someone else’s expense, through the loss of something you didn’t appreciate, or it may bring consequences that are beyond what you bargained for. It’s the benefics’ job to bestow but there’s always something ironic and bitter to the taste when they conjoin in a dark sign. You can’t give it back nor can you decline. You will have to accept the “gift” and you will grow as a result. You will also learn to be more careful about what you wish for in the future. Signs most affected: Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Pisces
