Sometimes when we've endured a long period of struggle we don't know how to stop fighting. This is something that will hit home on July 23d when Venus squares Mars. You're long past winning or losing; what you’re looking at is whether it's better to cut losses. It's hard to think of “cutting losses” as a positive, but being an earth sign one look at the numbers (i.e. money spent or time invested) may convince you otherwise. What's important to remember in times like these is that you were born under Venus, planet of peace, which means your peace of mind is what matters most.
