What might Venus's fall in Virgo teach us about love at the crossroads? How might we marry pleasure and devotion?

August seems to be Venus veneration month for me. 

Last year, around the same time, we sat by the altar of Venus as they were making their retrograde in Leo (Episode 89. Contemplating Venus Retrograde in Leo 2023: Illuminating The Loveless Places).

This year, existential Venusian questions haunted me as the laughter-loving queen transited through my ascendant degree. They woke me from a slumber and demanded an episode be recorded in their honor. 

What do we do when our desires require that we alchemize conditioned passivity into meticulous strategizing?

How do we access a deeper well of love when it becomes apparent that consistent tending is necessary?

I mentioned the works of Leah Garza and Kathryn Solie in this episode.
