The Queen has a Tantrum!

Venus, planet of love and desire, retrogrades July 22- September 3.  She’s in the sign of Leo- fiery and full of drama!

Retrogrades are known for turning a planet’s expression inward, potentially unlocking secret desires or stirring the pot of past relationships.  Venus heats up August 13 as she disappears into the beams of the sun.

Reflecting back to 8 years ago in August, synchronicities are revealed as Venus was retrograde in Leo at that time, too.  Venus’s 8 year cycle creates the shape of a rose when measured in space- the flower of love!

Reminders of how much we love and are loved is a theme as tension boils to the surface for resolution.  Reconfiguring a monetary budget could be constructive.  How this transit shows up depends on the individual’s astrology chart.

Leo is the sign of the dramatist.  The ongoing negotiations of performers and writers on strike may come to a head during this retrograde.  Clarity is derived on how society *under* values the arts and artists.

Is a rebellion of the feminine called for to rebalance?  Celebrating the arts and also delving into creativity offers an outlet during this time!
