Every Venus Retrograde begins a new chapter in our relationship with Love, Values, Beauty, Resources and the Sacred Feminine. Although the Retrograde itself unfolds between October & November, the larger cycle actually begins in late Summer.
August marks the very cusp of completion & initiation of cycles large & small, which is facilitating a healing & integration of a whole new foundation. We will look back on Aug/Sept 2026 as a monumental shift on many levels.
The story of July is that we are entering the second wave of a larger evolutionary sequence unfolding all Summer & beyond. June initiated the shift in values. July activates movement & choice. August brings conscious integration through new ideas, relationships & self-awareness.
6/14 • GEMINI Super/New Moon:
This New Moon initiates a fresh cycle of awareness around how you think, communicate, learn, gather information & exchange energy with the world around you.
June arrives as a threshold month — a preparation & choice point between what has already awakened within you and the much larger collective shifts preparing to emerge in July. This month is less about immediate action and more about recalibration.
5/17 • Mercury Enters GEMINI (until June 1st): Mercury is entering its home sign, doubling its normal influence out the gate. On any day, Mercury activates our mental processes, mental capacity, mental speed and all of our ideas, thoughts, concepts & perceptions.
5/4 • Mars (passion & desire) ~square~ Jupiter (enthusiasm & excess):
This energy can manifest in two ways, as is often the case. On one hand, there is the tendency to over-extend oneself & one’s resources, driven by excessive optimism without proper pre-planning or conscious effort.
May arrives as a powerful threshold where expansion, awakening & deep transformation are all coming together at once, asking you to grow beyond who you have been while getting more rooted in who you are becoming.
4/26 • Venus (essence & natural beauty) ~sextile~ Neptune (consciousness & vision):
This energy links your authentic values & priorities with the realm of dreams, mysticism & multiple dimensions.
