Venus in Virgo: A Time for Reflection
Venus influences the way you relate to others, as well as what you find most beautiful in the world. And whenever Venus takes up residence in earthy Virgo -- as it did last week -- you're bound to feel more related to practical matters such as work, health, and your daily routine.

Any Angry Birds addict will tell you it's not a bad life, but it sure can get lonely. I'm really lucky to have a close group of friends in my neighborhood -- we celebrate holidays and occasions together, show up with meals when someone has a baby, and circle around when someone gets divorced or has a death in the family. We really are more like family. But I didn't form these friendships overnight. It took months of effort, but I learned that if you're willing to put yourself out there, most other people will be too. Here are 7 things you can do to get to know your neighbors. - By Mara Kofoed
