Mercury retrograde is still in effect through next Thursday afternoon, so continue to keep a close watch on what’s coming in and what’s going out. With that advice out of the way, know that now through next Thursday is great for making hay.

Thursday/Friday, Venus trine Saturn is a productive and efficient team. Whether at work, at play, or negotiating a deal, Venus/Saturn makes the effort or investment very worthwhile.

Venus treks into Leo on Friday morning. Typically, Venus, the attraction planet, spends approximately four weeks visiting a sign, but due to her retrograde cycle that happens at the end of next month, we’ll have four months to practise our best Pharrell Williams lip-synch. Anybody up for fun, sun, and a summer of love? Venus in Leo shines a brighter light on affairs of the heart and also on the quest for material betterment.

Are you flourishing? What does happiness mean to you? For all of us, this transit brings “I deserve” into better focus. This is no ordinary transit—it’s a special one. Whether you label yourself a lover, a creator, a politician, or just you, know that Venus in Leo marks the next four months as a peak destiny-in-the-making cycle.
