Hi Everyone :) It has been a while. That is because I have not yet decided the direction I am taking Neptune Rising these days but would love to give an astrological update for the first time in a while.
First off, Happy Leo time everyone! Started last night on 7/22 and goes until Aug 23rd. Leo is a time associated with optimism, vitality, strength, power, warm- heartedness, creative expression, organizing, being gregarious, and taking action; The downfalls of Leo time can be a too much drama, being too dominating, excessive forcefulness, sense of entitlement, ego issues;
Remember Love heals wounds and during Leo time we should look to putting plans into action or organizing things while mending our hearts and minds of negativity. Try to look on the bright side
VENUS TURNS RETROGRADE July 25th- September 6th. And that is what I wanted to also write about. About every 1.5 years Venus stations Retrograde. We have all become use to Mercury turning Rx every 4 months for 3 weeks at a time, but VENUS is also a personal planet so it's motion retrograde will be noticed on some level or another cor sure. Venus rules what comes easy to us, where we find "ease and harmony" in our chart, in relationships, and what brings us "peace" and "tranquility". Look to your own personal Venus signs for some clues on that as well. Some say Venus rules beauty and appearances as well, so some themes around superficial/ outer appearances may also arise. Because she is a feminine planet, we may be drawn close to our feminine nature, the women in our lives, and given a chance to reflect on our femininity (regardless of whether you are male or female (or trangender, etc))
Venus retrograde in sign of Leo will certainly bring up how and where we experience "ease and comfort" in regards to our own vitality, strength, and will- be it at a physical, mental or emotional level. We will want peace. We may want to complete "feelings" from past relationships (Venus ruled) so we will need to come terms with any remaining baggage. Like any retrograde which renews or reviews issues, it not suggested as a time to start a new relationship, rather reflect on old ones so you can learn for the future..
After September 6th, Venus will be rising as the morning star instead of the evening star.
Much love to you on this Venus reflection and rebirthing time...
