We’re not only rounding out the week, we’re beginning to wind down the lunar month. This weekend, the Moon’s in Cancer and we enter the dark of the moon. Time to retreat, rest, reflect, and take stock of the past, reaching into dreams and the unconscious.
Also this weekend, the Sun and Venus merge in Leo, something called cazimi, which is a very old term that roughly translates as “in the heart”. In technical parlance, Venus Retrograde has reached its inferior conjunction to become the morning star.
This also means that we’re at the halfway mark of Venus Retrograde, a 40-day journey that stretches from July 22 until September 3, 2023. What have we learned? What old relationships have come up for us to reevaluate or tie up loose ends? Use this weekend and the Cancer Moon to reflect and search for inner wisdom and guidance.
Next week, we have a dynamic Leo New Moon on August 16 at 23 degrees that directly calls upon Uranus and its transformative energies. The second half of the month may be very interesting. Rest while you can.
If you are in AUSTRALIA or NZ, this forecast applies approximately for August 12-14, 2023.
