The drama of Venus retrograde affects everyone.
It is said to have claimed one celebrity marriage during its shadow period, and this is only the beginning. This is because Venus retrograde, which will arrive on July 22, 2023 in warmhearted Leo, is preparing to set our love life on fire. It will last until September 3, 2023. Using the courage and heart of the fire sign will help you navigate the drama.
Breakups are typical of a Venus retrograde, and in Leo, the sign of celebrity, expect plenty of headlines about failed romances. We can expect those to continue, with resolution taking place on the other side of the retrograde. And what about the Hollywood strikes? That is not by chance, as Leo completely dominates the creative field.
First of All, What Is Venus Retrograde?
First, some context: According to NASA, Venus spends about two to three weeks in each sign and orbits the sun for about 225 days. Venus rules everything related to the heart in astrology: love, romance, creativity, and beauty. When the heavenly body is direct, it grounds our relationships and helps to balance the natural flow of life.
However, every 18 months, Venus retrogrades (appearing to move backward), disrupting our love lives and sense of peace. Venus prompts us to reconsider the state of our relationships during a retrograde period. Because Venus is in Leo, we can expect our ego to be on full display as we consider our values in love and romance.
How Does Venus Retrograde In Leo Affect My Love Life?
Because Leo is associated with our heartspace and sense of self, Venus retrograde is a tug of war between our hearts’ and egos’ desires. It’s time to confront the dark side of your romantic relationships. Because Leo energy is all about how we present ourselves in the world, Sunday suggests that you think about how you support your loved ones and how they support you.
When Venus is in Leo, it is especially powerful for attracting your deepest desires. When Venus enters the zodiac sign of Leo, it inspires us to embrace life with zeal and live with boundless passion.
If you’re in a relationship, use this retrograde to reflect on how your partner either enhances or drains your creativity. When it comes to Venus, this means a rethinking of our values. However, critical decisions about whether your significant other is contributing to your heart’s purpose may put your relationship on hold.
If you’re single, now might be a good time to reconsider the qualities you seek in others. Do you want a partner who believes in your goals? A lover who puts your emotional needs first? A fling that reminds you to let go and enjoy yourself?
It’s about leaning into our ego, especially since this retrograde occurs just after the North Node enters Aries this year. In other words, it’s not just about how your romantic life benefits you. It is about discovering how we may have previously ignored our own desires in love and relationships.
It wouldn’t be a retrograde without some ex-lovers, would it? Past flings are likely to resurface during Venus’ retrograde. But, rather than a green light to rekindle the relationship (which, let’s be honest, is tempting), it’s all about introspection. We’re encouraged to examine our past and present relationships to assess the dynamics, allure, ardor, and intimacy that existed with our current or ex-partners.
Venus retrograde does not always indicate the end of a relationship. Finally, this planetary alignment wants us to focus on personal growth and how love can help with that. It is not selfish to do so; it is what will serve to [increase your] joy, fun, pleasure, and creativity. Take a break from romance to focus on your inner desires.
