When: July 22nd – September 3rd, 2023
What: Venus retrograde in Leo
Takeaway: For 40 days, the planet of love, unions, justice, and aesthetics will undergo an underworld journey. During Venus’ wayward tour, our relationship to beauty and pleasure will be up for review. It’s a time to parse through the connections that enhance, rather than dull, our shine. Instead of looking outside for validation, make yourself your own muse.
What is a Venus retrograde?When the planet of love, beauty, and pleasure stations retrograde, it changes direction and begins to move backward across the sky — or, at least that’s how it appears from our point of view on Earth. This retrograde motion is really an illusion caused by the different speeds at which the planets orbit the Sun, like when a vehicle is overtaken by a speeding car. Still, this visual effect tends to mirror our experience during these times.
Venus retrogrades happen every 18 months, and each time Venus “slows down” and stations retrograde, its energies saturate the atmosphere. Because of this, a yearning for union can become especially potent during these periods, even though retrogrades typically turn our attention inward. The reflective tone of this journey helps us to fall in love with unclaimed parts of ourselves and give our inner child the royal treatment.
Venus rules desire, so when the planet is retrograde, our enjoyment centers can go offline. We could be less enamored with that hobby that used to give us joy. Our relationships could catch a case of the doldrums. Or we could feel especially bored or stuck. This is all normal, and temporary. After all, our tastes, delights, and diversions would never evolve without the occasional disenchantment that encourages us to switch things up. In this way, Venus retrogrades are an opportunity to reconnect with our internal muse and tap back into the inspiration, pleasure, and creative energies that have been inside us all along.
How this Venus retrograde will help you unleash your shineVenus’ retrograde in Leo from July 22nd to September 3rd will have us reclaiming our confidence, creativity, and inner sovereignty — and maybe rummaging through life’s proverbial costume trunks. Ruled by our solar system’s brightest light, the Sun, Leo is a sign that can’t help but live life in the key of “main character energy.” Or act like a spotlight and wind machine are trailing their every move. But with great lighting comes great responsibility. Part of this sign’s sense of duty comes from its ability to shine attention on the gifts and talents of friends, loved ones, and communities too.
When Venus is in Leo, it acts as an unabashed romantic that wants to help us recover our unique slant on the world. And when retrograde, it nudges us further: to revise the scripts of our relationships, sense of belonging, and relationship to play. Venus in Leo’s knack for theatricality could have us cycling through various masks and roles, or workshopping aspects of love, beauty, and pleasure that we’ve been yearning to try on.
So play dress up. Turn old love letters into a cute collage. Spray your favorite pair of sneakers gold. The magic of Venus in Leo is rediscovering the frivolity that requires no justification. When you follow your fancy, you’ll clear space for the muses to set up shop.
Key dates for this Venus retrograde in LeoThis retrograde won’t be without its blooper reels though. On August 9th, retrograde Venus will square Uranus, the planet of disruption and freedom urges. When the two planets face off, the tension will force the plot of our lives forward — and because Uranus is involved, something will have to give. Use this time to rebel against anything dulling your radiance and reclaim your relationship to what feels good. If there’s a hobby you felt enamored with as a child, try it again. Dust off those joys. And know that whether you’re in a committed relationship or dancing solo, it’ll be best to grace the people you know with ample space around this date — and request added wiggle room for yourself too.
On August 13th, Venus will then make a conjunction with the Sun, forming an auspicious cazimi. This halfway point in the retrograde cycle will help us plant new seeds in our love stories and relationships with creativity, confidence, and letting ourselves be witnessed. So wear all the gold lamé your inner four-year-old desires and shine the spotlight on your favorite people. Doing so will bring some collaborative sparkle to the lonelier parts of this journey.
Lastly, retrograde Venus will go on to square Jupiter on September 3rd. Because Jupiter is associated with everything expansive, this transit will usher in big pleasure-seeker energy. So break out the party hats and kombucha and stage your own game night or boudoir photoshoot. Even in the depths of contemplation, there’s always room for a little mirth and mischief. In fact, such intermissions are mandatory.
The 40 days and 40 nights of Venus’ retrograde will help us redefine the art (and/or drama) that is our lives. Instead of reciting the lines laid out for us, we’ll be asked to create a new plot that honors our birthright to love and play. To release the intimacy patterns that feel constraining. To reclaim the people, places, and paths that remind us how generative life can be. And direct our explorations with the flair and fabulousness that Leo is known for.
