Venus begins her retrograde in Leo on July 22 for the next six weeks – until September 3.

Every 8 years Venus visits the same area of your chart. 

And this Venus’ retrograde in Leo is significant – the last time occurred back in July 2015.

Similar themes may be felt (but in a new way) around this current retrograde.

• At the moment Venus stations retrograde she creates a gorgeous trine to the North Node.

Significantly, the North Node just entered Aries at 29°, so Venus’ trine to the North Node places intimate partnerships front and center in a big way.

And Leo – sign of our creative life-force energy, romance, passion and fun – really brings that topic home!

You are deepening your understanding of how you use your innate creativity to shine your light, relate in a fun, dynamic way to others, step onto the stage of life and be truly authentic to your Soul code.

Leo also enhances creative expression, confidence, leadership, children while Venus is all about love, beauty, abundance and your values – so be prepared to rekindle connections and look at whether you are living your life in accordance with your true values.

Old relationships, especially past partners, may resurface in your life giving you closure or another opportunity to connect.

Venus is inviting you to acknowledge who and what makes you feel good, loved and valued.

Leo, ruled by the Sun, likes to boldly express and passionately engage others, while Venus loves and creates…

So these next six weeks give you many opportunities to be alert for any guidance on how to express your creativity with utmost beauty and pleasure.

Then, once Venus stations direct again on September 3 – you activate the wisdom received.

Guard against getting into drama… good advice at any time, and especially important now to keep your inner balance and peace.

During this Venus retrograde (the most rarely occurring retrograding planet), it’s a wonderful time to discover Venus and Mars’ tremendous impact on humanity at this time.

As the symbol of the Divine Feminine retrogrades in the masculine fire sign of Leo, opportunities to merge the right and left hemispheres of the brain are and join your heart with your mind are especially strong.

This fusion is generating the true Inner Awakening of our times…

Love and Joyful Blessings,
