Venus, the planet of beauty and values, spends approximately 5 months in Leo from June 5th - October 8th, 2023.

****Please excuse the retrograde dates on the video as the dates are July 22-September 3, 2023.***

Summer Solstice occurs on June 21, 2023 bringing the longest daylight of the year.

Cancer season also arrives with the Sun moving in for the month to wind down and relax. Nurturing vibes vibrate out as the earth heats up and we slow our pace as the longer sunlight hours allow for lots of outdoor activities with family and friends. Our emotional needs are calling out as the moon rules Cancer season with an oven mitt hand holding a chocolate chip cookie pan-bring on the comfort food as the outer world shows the turmoil we all may be feeling inside.

Mercury joins the Sun in Cancer on June 26,2 2023 and our thoughts now follow our emotional needs for stability and security. Our minds will quickly retain memories, think about home activities, and communicate feelings easier.

The moon is in Leo from late Tuesday night into Friday morning- meeting up with Venus then Mars as it moves through into Virgo over the weekend.

Moon and Venus in Leo brings on romantic, passionate energy that must be heard. Mars and Moon in Leo excites our physical needs to express ourselves to others.

The overall energy of this week is preparing us for long term values and goals that are necessary to our happiness. The cosmic plan is being realigned with our natural ways of existing on Earth that do not involve wars with others.

As Saturn retrogrades in Pisces, we are being asked to review our infrastructures of all kinds that we live our lives by. Fear can masks as territorial wars.

Prepare for a summer full of introspection and possibly spending too much money on luxury goods when Venus retrogrades in Leo until October, 2023.

*Let intuition be the guide this summer as retrograde season begins. Stop and listen to your breath -meditating in stillness.*

Big first week of June brought some relaxing moments, but some very sad destructive human errors/greed also rocked our value systems as Venus shifted into Leo for a five month stay.

Venus joins Mars for two weeks before beginning its long nap in Leo. Personal values and actions ring loud and true in Leo as we push our limits in what we want. Lots of egos will on display and we could get tired of the loud parades and festivals. Take time for yourself is the message of Venus in Leo. Hone in on your uniqueness and be yourself while not becoming a narcissist..

The moon in Capricorn started out our work week helping tremendously to bring clarity towards what kind of work makes us happy. Many will begin changes towards their work life, either starting, changing, or quitting.

Flow with the changes as Pluto begins its move backwards during its long nap in Aquarius on June 11th, returning to Capricorn for most of the year. Pluto is looking to finish up it's makeover of all things Capricorn-- institutions, banks, schools, business, politics, family, etc. Individually, Pluto pushes the depths of our inner emotional world and rebuilds it anew in order for our confidence to continue to grow and for us to evolve.

Moon enters Aquarius on Wednesday bringing more emotional detachment in order to finish rebuilding what is needed in order to move forward.

Pisces moon brings on the weekend vibes with dreamy flexible emotional energy to help us to find faith in our future without needing to know all the nitty gritty details.

By next week, Aries moon brings on the initial energy to make those dreams into reality joining in Venus and Mars fiery energy from Leo.

*Find time to meditate and continue your deep breathing while focusing on quiet and visualizing your dreams.*

Welcome to a week of manifesting your destiny as many planets shift this week bringing abundance and radical changes.

Jupiter enters Taurus Tuesday to remain for a year changing the speed of our daily life. Taurus' characteristics of slow stubborn loyalty will be rewarded as persistence pays off. Luxury and comfort become the mainstay for this year of opulence and financial gains. However, beware of the tendency to be rigid and judgmental of yourself and others.

Sun also moves into Gemini bringing fresh air and communications to the world. Shaking off the relaxed Taurus vibes, and leaning into the social vibes of Gemini brings the end of Spring. Expect a lot of talking and air headedness to occur also for some as the downloads from the cosmos continues. Stay mindful and manifest your dreams.

Mars breaks out of Cancer where it was a little too much like quick sand and sprints into Leo -leading us into the summer mood. Venus will join Mars shortly to stay in Leo for five months!!

The outer planets- Pluto in Aquarius, Saturn in Pisces, Uranus in Taurus, and Jupiter in Taurus- continue to impact epic changes to our landscape. The new moon in Taurus this week brings an opening of manifestation that lasts until the next full moon in Taurus in six months time. It has never been more receptive in the universe than now as we begin a new era leading to the Age of Aquarius. This new moon is the first in Taurus since eclipse season. Never before have we all been alive for these cosmic occurrences as we are pushed to accept AI taking over more human jobs in the very near future.

Manifestation is the vibe for this week as we prepare to enter a summer full of comic events. It's truly a very exciting time to be alive. Believe in yourself and others through kindness that you give yourself first- then share the love.

*Breathe deeply and listen to your intuition in order to navigate the changes affecting you.*
