Damn, it’s been a while. I feel like I say that every time I post but I have not been very active on social media, so I suppose it’s true.
How is everyone feeling? Weepy? Revolutionary? Caught in the wind? Because, honestly, same boo, SAME!
We are coming out of a particularly strong New Moon in Cancer and heading straight into Leo Season, North Node in Aries and Venus Retrograde in Leo… that is a LOT of fire, and fire in very impactful areas of our lives.
I love my Leos, almost as much as they love themselves, and no hate to my Cancerian peeps, but I already have too much water in my chart (hello, Scorpio stellium), so I always look forward to this particular zodiac seasonal change. I think Leo popularity, or at least their reputation, is built on two parts: their ability to be their own best hype-men and the fact that they are “fun” fire signs.
Leos tend to take charge even when they’re not outwardly doing so. Let’s be real, have you ever met a Leo that didn’t do exactly what they wanted to, regardless of what anyone else said? If you have any doubt, believe me, one of my kids is a little lion and I am EXHAUSTED.
That being said, this upcoming Leo season is going to give us all a much-needed boost and revitalize any stagnant energy. Combine that with the Nodes shifting, as well as Venus going retrograde in Leo and we have a 1 2 3 punch of pure fire.
No, your ex is not going to call you (unless that really is a relationship that needs to be revisited, but more on that in a sec), no, your computer isn’t going to go haywire. Not all retrogrades are “bad,” and not all retrogrades are the same. Yes, communication does get a little funky when Mercury goes rx but that’s to be expected, since Mercury rules communication, ideas, Gemini, and Virgo (think Swords or Spades). Venus, however, does not.
Venus is relationships, not just the romantic kind, sensory pleasures, matters of the heart, Libra and Taurus. So, you may find yourself feeling extra cute or spending a little too much during a Venus rx, and this particular transit is no different. Take it from someone who just chopped off all their hair (or at least 12” of it) and cut someone out of their life.
SNIP SNIP is the overriding theme, and that’s not just in ref to the hairdresser’s scissors! If someone is holding you back, not helping you grow, unhealthy or toxic, you will find yourself cutting them out of your life, or at least the urge to do so will be STRONG.
I’m not saying you should completely change your aesthetic and start blocking people, but if the temptation to do so arises, take a moment to ask yourself why, and go from there. I strongly caution against being impulsive, because in my experience it leads to trouble, but I also urge people to listen to their gut. North Node symbolizes our destiny, personal growth, where we look to access the tools to help ourselves achieve our goals in this lifetime. So, if all of a sudden you feel the need to end a particular relationship (again, not just romantic), ask yourself why, and analyze it. Has this partnership been bringing you down? Have you felt increasingly stagnant? Unhappy? Do you feel as if you’ve lost yourself? Alternatively, this transit can also serve as a beacon that shines on positive relationships and help strengthen them. Have you and your significant other braved choppy waters and come out the better for it? Have you completely changed up your style and felt revitalized and reborn? Do you all of a sudden know what your life’s mission is? FANTASTIC!! Embrace it and enjoy!
Think of this past Cancer season as The Hanged Man, and now we are the Death card; first suspended in meditation, and now abruptly cut down from the tree and making the necessary changes to better ourselves.
Be mindful of: Overspending
