Venus retrograde in LEO
I’m clearly in a LEO state of mind, as no doubt you are as well, what with the Sun just entering Leo, Mercury transiting Leo, and Venus moving retrograde in Leo. In fact, Venus will move back from 28 degrees Leo to 12 degrees Leo and then will re-visit all those degrees of Leo and then move on to Virgo mid-October. That’s a deliciously long visit of Venus in the fixed fire sign Leo.
The first thing that comes to mind when I tune in to Leo energy is CREATIVITY. You are a unique creative being, capable of bringing forth a perfect expression of You-ness. I can’t think of a time in history where your unique, creative contribution is needed more than now.
The other thing that pops up front and center when I tap into Leo energy is PLAY. Leo is playful (think kittens) and loves to express itself through PLAY. Check in with yourself looking specifically for how much time you dedicate to playing and expressing your creative essence.
Whether you think of yourself as creative or not (I am always shocked at how many people do not experience themselves as creative!) -YOU ARE A CREATIVE BEING! You are creating every moment of every day. When you direct that creative energy into some expression of yourselfness…wowza! that feels wonderful.
Now think of cats,,,pleasure-seeking, lots of snooze time, and wildly creative in the ways they learn to get their needs met. Take some wisdom from the cats and work their energy. You have LEO energy working somewhere in your chart so look to that area for insight as to where this creative energy could be working.
And let’s not forget that Leo energy can be waaay dramatic. What kind of drama are you giving attention to today? Hopefully the kind that makes you happier, freeing up energy to bring more Leo-inspired Venusian beauty into the world.
Later in the summer Venus will be part of a YOD formation with Neptune and Saturn.
Keep tuned for more info coming about that special cosmic configuration.
Never a dull moment, that’s for sure.
