Venus Opposing Jupiter...

enters on August 9 (using a 1 degree orb), is exact on August 10 at 9.40am in Kilmore, leaves on August 11.  Venus at 2 degrees and 54 minutes of Libra, retrograde Jupiter at 2 degrees and 54 minutes of Aries.

Both Venus and Jupiter are associated with 'luck'... however, too much of a good thing sometimes isn't so good!  The connection of these two through the energetic opposition sometimes means that we overdo things a little.

As long as we all keep our expectations realistic and don't go overboard this opposition can present an opportunity in the relationships and/or areas of life touched on by them.  A turning point in regards to a person or situation that came into our lives when these two planets were last conjunct is likely also, since the opposition represents the most objective part of a cycle in terms of aspects.  Venus and Jupiter were last conjunct in the middle of February at about 6 degrees of Pisces.

By looking at where these planets are we can get a feel for where discretion and a realistic outlook are likely to bring us happiness and some type of benefit.  Also look to see which houses are ruled by them (Venus = Taurus or Libra on the cusp; Jupiter = Sagittarius or Pisces on the cusp) to get a feel for what or who will be reaching a turning point.

If you have personal planets and/or points in Aries or Libra, then you may be especially sensitive to this transit.
