{:en} We start the week with Juno's transition into Virgo. Juno is an important asteroid for serious relationships. Juno will travel in Virgo between October 17, 2023 and August 9, 2024. In this process, the one who is in the love-requires-effort mode will be the winner. Relationships that do not meet this feeling-behavior are likely to end because they are relationships that have already expired and are playing for extensions. If your spouse or partner is in a difficult situation, you should be there for them financially and morally, and you should provide your support under all circumstances. It is normal for you to be more meticulous...
