Leo Season
July 23 to August 22
This year, the commencement of Leo Season coincides with the initiation of a 40-day Venus Retrograde in Leo.
Leo embodies the very essence of igniting creativity, radiating luminosity, and fostering courage in authentic self-expression from the depths of the heart.
As Venus journeys backward through Leo throughout the entirety of Leo Season, we may encounter the more contemplative and nuanced aspects of this zodiac sign.
Rather than embracing an unrestrained exuberance, Venus Retrograde encourages Leo to introspect upon its inner brilliance and seek solace in serene dignity.
In general, Venus Retrograde urges us to realign ourselves with our values and relationships. In Greek mythology, this period was a time when the goddesses of love, Juno and Aphrodite, withdrew to a healing pool to renew their inner purity.
Although this might appear as a solitary experience, this retreat ultimately benefits our relationships. By taking time for self-renewal, we can enhance our connections with others and give our best to those we cherish.
The merging of these two energies, Leo Season and Venus Rx in Leo, paves the way for a more sacred and modest approach to the forthcoming four weeks.
During this phase, take moments to contemplate the following:
What are your fundamental values? Does your daily life genuinely reflect these values? If not, how can you integrate them into your everyday existence?
How are your core relationships? Are you dedicating adequate time to nurture them, or perhaps too much? Evaluate the energy within these relationships.
Do you have friendships that nurture your soul? If so, express gratitude to your friends. If not, consider how you can connect with like-minded individuals who share your fundamental values.
Venus Retrograde in Leo will extend from July 23 to September 3. Employ these questions as a means to acquaint yourself with this forthcoming celestial energy.
