Listen "Venus Shadow Zone"
Episode Synopsis
Venus & Vesta is launching a Venus Star Shala, a deep dive immersion to take us through the Venus Retrograde in Leo which is nearly four months. The Venus Star Shala includes seven astrology live sessions with a shamanic guided meditation for each of the Venus aspects during this process. It also includes a weekly Venus meditation space to connect and go deeper on a personal level.Sign up to the Venus Star Shala for the fortnightly astrology sessions and weekly meditations and DM V&V for more details.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Venus moves into the shadow zone of the retrograde period on 19th July at 12 degrees Leo. At that point I will be holding the first Star Shala to look at where Venus is working for us and how we might work through this process, which might be different for everybody.
Just before Venus goes retrograde, Mercury in Gemini squares to Saturn in Pisces, two opposing energies ask us to speed up and be alert, yet also slow down and go inwards.
Straight after Mercury squares Saturn, the planetary Old Father Time starts his own retrograde journey, inviting us to look at our soft areas of love, creativity and feelings of lack and even lost parts of ourselves that might need reclaiming.
The Gemini New Moon is definitely a boost to help us make new connections, get thinking new ideas and have some flirty fun.
BEST MOMENTS‘I don’t want anyone to be in fear of this because the modern, mainstream world has taught us to be afraid of Mercury retrograde. We need to embrace this Venus retrograde, embrace it and allow us to have a big heart opening.’‘There will be seven guided journeys in my Star Shala throughout the key dates where I will explain astrology and how it’s affecting us. In between those points there will be 10 meditation groups.’‘Venus in Leo is going to be romantic, sexy, full of love, warmth and generosity, there’s going to be drama and passion, lovemaking and flirting. There’s also going to be pride, and hurt pride, and jealousy as well, and it’s often quite passionate, unfounded jealousy, perhaps even misplaced hot-headedness.’‘Where there is a retrograde we’re going to look deeper into the aspects that the retrograde is telling us and maybe we’ll find more power there for the retrograde and the planet.’
