Leo season continues with expansive confidence, heart-centered leadership and bold actions that are amplified by Jupiter in Leo. This is a relatively soft and quiet week that will give you the opportunity to integrate whatever you encountered in July and to allow for the care and restoration you need.
Chiron Stations Retrograde, Venus changes signs and we have only one aspect this week. Considering the volume of daily planetary activity we’ve become accustomed to, this feels spacious, allowing you to acclimate to current frequencies and integrate what you have experienced as you move into the new era.
However, we are in a wormhole, approaching the Solar Eclipse in Leo on Aug 12 that can shift your life, either via an event or the beginning of an unfolding story if it connects with you personally. It will definitely create some new story on the global stage. Remember, a wormhole activates fated events and quantum leaps from one reality to another, where things can happen just.like.that.
August 3-Sept 17 – Chiron Retrograde in Taurus
Chiron Retrograde in Taurus focuses on core wounds involving worthiness, your body and how you take care of it, financial security and scarcity. These are foundational quality of life issues connected to your values and addressing what needs attention in these areas can change your life in real, tangible ways.
If you have any of these issues, you were meant to learn and grow from them, maybe to ultimately help others. Don’t allow shame or fear to keep you from becoming empowered and discovering your greater purpose. We do not have issues randomly; they are all part of your soul’s plan.
Any conditioned beliefs that limit you and what you think is possible are ripe for attention. Love yourself enough to find care and support, to discover the real magic of who you are. Anything that limits your joyful Self-expression is meant for healing whenever you are ready. Hint: go where it’s warm, where you are embraced and accepted.
Aug 6-Sept 10 – Venus in Libra
Venus is fully expressed in its home sign of Libra, which loves collaboration, partnering, peace and balance. Beauty and creativity is soul food for this Venus, that is sensitive to its environment and is a natural harmonizer, elevating the energy of the space it’s in. It also speaks to compromise, negotiations, mediation and all kinds of exchanges relating to connection and finding agreement.
Venus in Libra can soften the rough edges of harsh words and negativity through simple courtesies and manners. Notice the uplifting impact of art, decor, music, design and what you consider pleasing.
Venus in Libra is also a mirror, and who and what you attract reflects the frequency you’re transmitting. This is a profound way to gain Self-knowledge if you’re open to it, as you can see how you’re doing by who and what you’re attracting. You can experience another as just the “other” — or as your mirror. If you want to grow, I suggest both.
Aug 6 – Sun trine Saturn
This is a stabilizing energy of practical actions and support. Saturn’s commitment with the Sun in Leo’s bold expression and creative spirit make a powerful duo — and if you need to make an agreement, sign a contract or commit to a project, this is a great day to do it. Venus in Libra wants to connect and collaborate, so mark your calendar to make a decision, plan, promise or a vow that will be lasting. You are laying the framework for your future. Now.
The North Node of Fate in Aquarius is calling you to awaken your innovative genius to pursue a new path where you can lead with love. When you are aligned with your gifts, strengths and talents, you are being of service to the world. You were given these gifts to be utilized and shared with others.
It’s time to leave the treadmill to express your Self in some new way. Jupiter in Leo will give you the courage to stretch beyond the familiar to reach for a dream or a big picture vision. Yes you can!
Never underestimate the power of the revolution that’s happening within and around You.
As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.
