Thursday brings the second installment of Jupiter’s opposition to Uranus. Jupiter in Libra increases the search for a better equilibrium. We all want more money, more love, more happiness, and more consideration, cooperation, and validation. The opposition to Uranus in Aries keeps us challenged to come up with a new and updated version regarding all of the above. Uranus desires the freedom to be openly and uniquely me, to be self-honouring and therefore other-honouring, too. This transit keeps key issues regarding our personal and social reinvention on the front burner through the end of September.

As of Saturday, Venus in Aries begins a six-week retrograde cycle. Venus retrograde happens every 18 months; Venus retrograde in Aries happens once every eight years. When the planet of net worth and self-worth reverses direction, a more insistent voice from deep within gains attention.

What’s new with you? Feeling a more urgent need to put me first? Does an inner conflict rage? Have you lost your mojo? Are you at war or are you at one? While in Aries, Venus retrograde aims to put you better in touch with self. This intensified self-discovery process aims to bring it up to better speed. It will infuse fresh life and energy into that which holds good promise, and it will cut to the chase regarding that which does not.

Saturday, hang loose, wander, let the day unfold. As of Sunday, you can plug yourself back in. Sunday through Tuesday, set a productive backdrop for communication, commerce, and connecting the dots.
