💜 What's at the heart of the matter?
Hi there!
There's a lot to cover, so I'm jumping right in! This week, we've got Venus retrograde (Rx) coming into an agitating square with exciting Uranus.
Yes, I said "agitating." (It's okay to groan.) 🤦♀️
When Venus comes into an unpleasant aspect with Uranus, it's best to expect the unexpected in her domain — what we value, our finances and relationships (with self and others).
Basically, the landscape is going to change (but thankfully, not quite as dramatically as if it were eclipse season). Surprises or upsets; something strange or different, new or interesting; or even a reorientation may be on the horizon. 😲
Uranus reminds us that change is inevitable and what we dread can, in fact, be a great liberator.
Then, months or years later, we realize: "Thank goodness that "awful" thing happened!"
🕊 Take heart! Venus is also making a lovely trine over to Chiron, the healer of the zodiac.
Yes, we're almost certainly going to have a roller-coaster ride this week in terms of our most cherished matters.
BUT, we're also sure to have plenty of opportunities to bring love and repair to that which really needs our compassionate attention. 🌸
Take heart and bravely stand in the light of Truth so that you can understand yourself better and embody those values that define the core of who you are.
Recently, I sat with a new client, "Kate." She came to me, as so many do, with relationship concerns.
(Ah, the School of Relationship. Can you relate?)
Her question to me was basically, "What the hell do I want?"
In other words: "What are my values?" 🤔
I inwardly chuckled because this is the quintessential Venus Rx theme. Kate's question was almost cliché!
(And that's the magic of astrology! We can really see how the cosmos are illuminating important themes in our lives!)
Thankfully, Venus isn't just causing us to ask, "What do I want," but also providing the answer. While occupying the sign of Leo, she's helping us get to the heart of matters.
That's why I've got only one inquiry for you this week.
Bring to mind the situation that is creating the most agitation in your life. Once you can feel it clearly in your body and see it in your mind's eye, ask you HEART:
💜 What is at the heart of this matter?
As I helped Kate discover: The mind will exhaust you in its attempts to solve problems only the body and the heart know how to answer. 😩
How is this true for you, too?
Venus in Leo can bring you the courage to truly listen to that still small voice — the voice of your heart (of God!)
It's time to declare your values to yourself and others! You might also feel a fierce or passionate desire to stand-up for yourself or to step into what you know is right and true for you. ♌

⚡THE ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST
There's more to the astrological weather than the Venus-Uranus aspect I mentioned at the start of this email. And all the aspects I mention here are in happening together with that juicy square.
💡♍ Today, we've got Jolly Jupiter in a harmonious trine over to mischievous Mercury. You might have some interesting insights or see the truth of a situation more clearly.
It's an excellent day for meditation and spiritual contemplation. If you're wanting to occupy a different mental state, then now's the time to put forth some effort to make the shift.
🌙♊ Thursday and Friday, the Moon in mental Gemini starts making both tricky and beneficial aspects over to a whole lot of other planets and points.
Suffice to say, this may be an interesting few days with a lot of mood swings. Don't worry if one moment you feel optimistic and purposeful (expanded), but the next you feel victimized or disillusioned (contracted).
>> With a Moon in Gemini making this many aspects, "moody" is likely to be the experience a lot of folks are having.
☀♌ This weekend, insightful Uranus and Mars are forming a beautiful trine at the same time that Uranus forms a tense square over to the Sun in Leo.
Power struggles or other unwelcome situations could lend you the energy you need to break free from constraining patterns. Channel any displeasing energies you may have in a way that serves you — like getting the ball rolling in the direction you really want to be moving.
>> Take action now to align yourself with the values you're rediscovering under the influence of Venus Rx.
💛🦁 The Sun and Venus retrograde in Leo come together this weekend, but we'll be felling the build-up all week until it reaches is climax at 4.15am PT Sunday morning.
This is a very special moment that happens just once annually! The Sun and Venus coming together are kind of the cherry atop the Venus-Uranus square. 🍒
I'll say it again: It's time to get to the heart of the matter; to embrace your deepest values and most cherished desires. Do you know what you want? What value do you derive from your relationships? What do you have to offer?
What I've experienced about life is that being honest with ourselves is often the scariest thing that we can do. It requires bravery. Once the Truth has been revealed, there's no going back!
Bonne courage,
