Venus Retrogrades are times when we are invited to reevaluate our values in relationships, as well as in relation to our finances. It is a time to check in with our partnerships and friendships to make sure that the balance is right. Are we getting our needs met? But also, are we being forgiving enough? In regards to money, Venus Retrograde is a good time to make sure that our financial decisions are in alignment with our true values.

The sign of transiting Venus shows us where to focus our energy in order to find pleasure, connection, and abundance. Venus is spending a total of four months in Leo (6/5 - 10/8/23). This is giving us plenty of time to reflect on our needs for play, romance, and creative expression. These are the things that bring joy, that make life worth living.
