Mastering Venus Retrograde in Leo, Summer 2023

Posted on June 8, 2023 by Sharita Star

**This is a must have Elearning Empowerment Experience to navigate Summer 2023 under hearty reflection & retrograde energy of Venus in Leo.**

As we will experience Summer 2023, it will be a powerful time that will have us in a more than resounding request to honor reflection in our continuing EARTH HEART Shift.

Unlike her neighbor Mercury, it’s been awhile since our Idealist planet took some necessary time off. The last Venus Retrograde cycled 19 December 2021 to 29 January 2022 in Capricorn.

Upon 22 July 2023 in Leo at 9:33pmEDT, the next cycle of review and redo commences for Venus that will conclude 9:20pmEDT upon 03 September 2023. If you are familiar with Mercury Retrograde, you already understand all too well the kinds of things that can happen under an inner planet retrograde.

What makes a Venus Retrograde different from Mercury Retrograde?

All of our planets from above guide over different energy and conscious channels as their specific guidance affects our lives down here below.

Mercury makes things move, communicate, permanently change, blossom, think and energetically circulate.

Venus allows us to relate one on one, formulate legal agreements, be compassionate, find understanding, secure our values, intake our money, enjoy our pleasures, find our beauty via the arts and music and cherish our peace.

Both Venus and Mercury are inner planets, so when their Retrograde passages occur (Mercury every 3 months; Venus every 18 months; approximately) we are highly advised to take caution initiating our plans for long term success -personal or business wise- concerning what they are ultimately in charge of.

Being reflection, research and review are in order during these timeframes- initiating important plans under retrogrades to ensure seamless future harmony and balance are best to be avoided during them.

Venus Retrograde in Leo

It is more than fair to say as Summer 2023 heats up, it will gravely call to take heed of our Leo area of life. Venus on a normal journey through Leo enjoys romance, entertainment, luxury, loyal, creative, self-expressive, heartfelt and playful energy, yet we’ll find, these qualities are not so readily available as she’ll be under review.

While any retrograde energetic pace seeks careful planning, Venus in backtracking in Leo tends to lean to the intense, overbearing and intimidating: where her innate seeking harmony “like normal” will be more difficult to reach.

Being able to awaken and attain peace equally will feel there is an undeniable thwarting that will encompass our collective within this fiery channel that with otherwise be seeking reflection.

Reexamination of our heart-center, loyalties, entertainment, pleasures, luxuries, children, and our self-expression are also highly favored during Venus’s time in Leo as we take to valuing not only our very relationship to them all where The Lion organizes and manages our individual lives amongst the collective. Whatever plans one may have to engage in within these realms, they will find these also not work out as originally intended, and back up plans will be necessary to utilize instead.

August 2023 as a 6 Universal Month During Venus Retrograde

Equally once August 2023 arrives, Venus herself is also “in charge” of this 15/6 Universal Month within our ongoing 7 Universal Year 2023 as she also guides 6 vibrational energy.To say the dog days of Summer 2023 will be more than bumpy due to her being in the thick of Retrograde as she guides this August’s energy and pulse, is quite the understatement as ultimate awareness will be extremely necessary to navigate its’ more than intense ride, especially as Mercury Retrograde in Virgo joins her in his cycle of reflection from 23 August to 15 September.

Venus’s Reflective Journey from 28 to 12 degrees Leo

Venus begins her Retrograde stationed at 28 degrees Leo, completing the reflective cycle as Venus stations Direct at 12 degrees Leo, seeking to conclude our reflection stories.

As we look to the deeper wisdom and connectivity to Numerology, the Chaldean Karmic Mysteries of the 28 and 12 degrees beginning and end points have fair warnings to share with us.

The erasing of False Evidence Appearing Real to Face Everything And Rise energies are at our collective fingertips to embrace.

Venus’s Reflective Journey for AMERICA

Venus will start off asking America to take a deeply conscious inner work look at its’ relationships to its’ foreign affairs, belief systems, national truth and then will shift reflective focus to its’ very wealth, core energy, and abilities to regenerate on a transformational level. This is an ever intense and extremely critical time for the nation, and all timing details are deeply covered in Soul Certainty Community’s Mastering Venus Retrograde Elearning Workshop.

Mercury Retrograde in Virgo, 23 August to 15 September 2023

Just when one may think they are already reflecting enough, the final stretch of Venus’s cycle of reflection is all the more energetically charged up by the additional reflection passage that arrives of Mercury Retrograde. Our Messenger planet Mercury begins his third Retrograde of 2023 upon 23 August in Virgo through 15 September.

With Leo and Virgo being neighboring signs in the Zodiac, humanity has dual reflection homework to honor and adhere to wherever these two signs reside in the natal birth chart forecast along side the collective one.

Working Successfully with Venus Retrograde

One of the Zodiac’s benefic and inner planets, Venus’s influence grants gentleness, ease, and strength wherever her graceful energy is currently visiting within the Zodiac Pie. Venus affects the collective’s values- as well as our earning potential, money, approaches to romance, and our abilities to tap into the feminine. As she decides to not “look where she is going,” the collective can expect the natural benefits of her energies to be up for review.

With global economic matters -and especially for America’s Forecast- already in extreme question of their stability and security, this cycle of review and redo from Venus is quintessential and right on time in the need for extreme reflection in such a universal year as 2023.

Appreciating Reflection Rewards & Absolutely What to Avoid Under Venus Retrograde

Humanity will be wise to have the heads up concerning these 5 Things to navigate Venus’s cycle of reflection on both a collective and personal consciousness level.

1. Beauty
2. Money/Finances Energy Practices
3. Relationship Accountabilities
4. Art, Music & Nature
5. Personal Forecast Area of Life Reflective Focus

Preparing for & Recovering from Venus Retrograde

Every Retrograde passage has a “preview of coming attractions” as the planet crosses over moving forward, the exact degree point it will backtrack to called the Approach. We’ll start to notice as Venus crosses over 12 degrees Leo upon 19 June what’s going to be in full reflection by 22 July, as we properly prepare under her Approach.

Every Retrograde passage has a “ironing out the retrograde wrinkles” time until the planet crosses over, moving Direct, the exact degree point is starts retrograding upon, called the Shadow. Whatever decision may have had to happen by no other choice under Venus Retrograde will have the opportunity to smooth out the fabric wrinkles as our correction and Shadow work commences from 03 September through 06 October, when she will cross back over 28 degrees Leo moving forward precisely back where she started Retrograding upon 22 July.

What’s Really in a Word? Venus Retrograde

Whenever a planet is actively in RETROGRADE within our Zodiac skies, it’s that necessary time when we are best to surrender, and know we’ve GOT TO REDO, and GO TO A GREAT REORDER. As our romantic and value-loving planet attaches herself to the retrograde title, how apropos the anagrams we can derive are able to Spell Out the Truth of how we can reap personal rewards.

VENUS RETROGRADE

*GOT TO GO TO A TRUE TUNE: USE NO EGO TO EARN

*GO TO GO AND UNDERSTAND US, ARTS, REVENUES, AND OUR URGES

*GOT TO GO AND RESET AVENUES TO EARN AND SAVE NEAR

*GO TO SURE ADVENTURES TO RESTORE

*GOT TO RESTORE DEAR GENEROUS URGES

*GOT TO RETURN TO SAVE OUR TREASURES

*GOT TO REDO A TRUE TREASURE

*GOT TO GO AND REUSE TO RESTORE

*GREAT TRADER ENDEAVORS ARE VAGUE- SO DON’T DO ONE!

*TRADERS GO TO RENOVATE SAVED REVENUES

*TRADES ARE TENSE TO DO OVER A VENUS RETRO ERA

*REVENUES ARE TO UNDERGO A REVERSE AND RETURNS

*REVENUES NEAR GREED SEE SURGENT OVERTURNS

*GOT TO GO TO A SOUND GENEROUS URGE

*GO ON…GO TO NATURE AS ONE SURE RESTORE

*GO ON… GO TO A GRANDEST GREEN GROUND, A GARDEN

*GOT TO GO TEND TO AN OVERDUE REGARD

*GOT TO SURRENDER TO REENTER AND REGROUND

*GO TO NO REGRETS, AND SEND OUT GRAND REGARDS

*TONGUES NEED TO RESONATE A TRUE REASON

*NO GRUNTS NO GROANS, DO NOT GO TO DANGEROUS REVENUE ADVENTURES

*GOT TO GO ON AN ART ADVENTURE

*GOT TO GO TO GENERATE AND GREET GRAND GESTURES

How Will You Consciously Honor This Cycle of Reflection?

This time for reassessment within The Lion allows your understanding of the value of humanity to become redefined on a personal and collective level. Once 03 September 2023 comes to pass, the activity within these degrees points (28 degrees to 12 degrees Leo) of the life will start to stir and reap goodness- restoring personal harmony unlike any other in quite some time.

Equally keep in mind…. Just as soon as Venus goes Direct, not only is 2023’s third Mercury Retrograde already underway from 23 August, she will be in a squaring off aspect to Jupiter in Taurus who turns Retrograde upon 04 September: calling for extreme caution and attention to further economic stability matters and financial security observations. Can we all say WOWO ENERGY in REFLECTION?

Remember, retrogrades are always about ultimately healing, release and reflection under the conscious practices of review. So rest and reset via Venus’s requests 22 July to 03 September, then happily gather up your Shadow rewards after, and be armed in empowerment ever single step of the reflective journey way! Looking forward to being a part of Mastering Venus Retrograde this Summer 2023 Dear Star!

“Emotion is the indicator of how much power you’ve got.” ~Abraham

One of the most important forecasting tools we have from astrology is understanding the distinct value of how our current lunar cycles affect us in our now.

Whenever we are in a Waxing Phase from our recent New Moon: we meant to be working with initiations, new beginnings and setting our intentions as we direct our feelings.

Whenever we are in a Waning Phase from our recent Full Moon: we meant to be working with reflection, release, and reviewing our experiences as we heal our feelings.

New Moons and Full Moons happen from one particular area of our life that changes month to month in their specific timing requests. Any lunar/moon energy is guiding what we FEEL via our emotional bank accounts.

Our natural Lunar Rhythms can be quite out of sync with our natural Gregorian calendar time measuring standards that most business and scheduling demands adhere to.

Mastering Mercury Retrograde in 2022

**LISTEN NOW & MASTER ANY MERCURY RETROGRADE**
**Scroll Down to Access December 2022-23’s** ***Episode Workshop***

2022 Mercury Retrograde Cycles of Reflection

As we look to our regular Mercury Retrograde (MRx) passages (which always occur about three times during any given year) we have additional timeframes to be acutely aware of due to other inner planet cycles of reflection that will intertwine along with them.

Understanding Mercury Retrograde and what it actually is meant to positively do for anyone is wise timing is everything wisdom to always take into consideration for our planning and scheduling needs. These recurring astrological cycles are mistakenly overly associated with fear and frustration, which absolutely is not the reaction we are ever meant to have with them.

“Mercury Retrograde is always first & foremost: A Cycle of Reflection.“

~Sharita Star

Read that last statement again.

The only reasons Mercury Retrogrades “trip up” anyone is that:

One: most people are unaware it is in affect because they have never been introduced to the value of astrology, and naively choose to make initiations for intended long term success during them.

Two: those who are aware of it are fooled into believing they should fear it every time is comes back around because they are simply misinformed.

If you know what not to do, and most importantly, what you absolutely can do under these reflective, recharging, reassessment and ultimate “time out” periods: you will always be in the energetic flow of Mastering Mercury Retrograde.

Before we get into when all of 2022’s cycle of reflection periods will urgently ask us to have the heads up in our calendars, let’s give you some astrological tips and tools to implement during any of them.

Why Are We Not Favored To Move Forward Under MRx?

Mercury is our Messenger planet from above that guides all communications, thinking, mentality, movement, electronics, transportation, travel, changes, perceptions, adaptability and all exchanges of information that occur down here below.

When in Retrograde -due to the backtracking energy that is cast off from Mercury- all of the matters it watches over do not function nor move forward optimally. Precisely why, anyone is well advised to utilize these periods of time for pause, redoing, and only focus upon reworking what already exists.

Human error is always highest under Mercury Retrograde than any other time of the year. Naturally, forward thinking and planting for future success under this time is equally not well supported.

Therefore, hold off on important decisions such as: starting a business, signing contracts, launching a product, getting married, buying a new car, engaging in any kind of new relationship, purchasing new technology, or buying a new home. None of these initiating actions will turn out well for the long-term, and if implemented under MRx, it is an astrological guarantee they are energetically tied up in faulty foundations that never have the genuine ability to sustain themselves for success.

What Are We Favored To Do With Success Under MRx?

Taking the first rule of thumb that Mercury Retrograde is a cycle of reflection, we are promised to flow with this reassessment time when we honor staying in this exact frame of mind. By only placing our attention upon what already exists, and choosing to wait and see about the future, our personal mastery of this cycle absolutely unfolds.

Getting out our “RE” vocabulary is one of the best ways we can discover ease and peace of mind.

Rerouting, reconnecting, reconsidering, recharging, resting, relaxing, reorganizing, researching, retreating, remembering, replanning, reframing, rescheduling, rekindling, repairing and replacing are all wonderful ways to reap the rewards of what this cycle of reflection is absolutely all about.

Mercury Retrograde is a marvelous time to work with: unfinished projects, revisiting existing creative outlets, reconnecting with old friends/former associates, reassessing existing business plans, practicing the pause, expecting rescheduling of plans, anticipating delays and set backs, having backup plans ready to go, replacing objects in need of repair (yet make sure these are done correctly), doing research, retreating away from the world, and above all, remembering to take a silent listen for oneself (extra meditation, journaling and yoga time please!).

Mercury Retrogrades & YOU!

For anyone’s individual experience, taking a look at your Personal Forecast is always extremely favored to know the precise and specific areas of your life that each one will be seeking your reflective focus within.

As everyone collectively experiences any and all MRx cycles, each one is energetically different from the last, making no two MRxs exactly alike. While the same rules of thumb will always apply, the pulse will always cast off unique affects being Mercury is in another zodiac sign each time. Equally, the other positioning of the planets above any MRx also will relate to, also are never in the same configurations.

So, where is change and necessary reflection asking for your attention during any given year, and especially this one? Is it your income, lifestyle and vocation? Or your home/family life, wealth, and inner healing? Or how you approach your life, heart space and beliefs? What about your communication skills, relationships and hopes for the future?

2022 Mercury Retrogrades

Wherever Mercury Retrograde lands in your life or business, know this: it is always time to sharpen the saw within it. The value of astrology is, you always have a precise map and blueprint to help personally guide you through any of them.

Each Mercury Retrograde lasts for approximately 21 days (3 weeks). All have an Approach period, (date when Mercury crosses over the degree point it will fully Retrograde back to) and a Shadow period, (date when Mercury moving forward crosses back over the degree point it began to Retrograde upon). The Approach alerts us to what MRx reflections and matters are on the way to be resolved, while the Shadow allows us to tie up the loose ends and recorrect any natural errors that occur during the Retrograde itself.

Remember, reflection and reassessment success always can be absolutely ours, but one must choose to consciously slow down. Pause. Take those deeper breaths. Stop forcing matters, and quit the grinding, societal falsified illusion of maintaining the incessant and constant busy bubble rush.

Mercury Retrograde passages come back around in our lives in their appropriate timing is everything cycles, to be our perfect opportunities to restore, recharge and reboot. Without this necessary timeout and downtime, humanity is a mere stone that gathers no moss.

Posted on October 3, 2014 by Sharita Star

We know you’ve been already feeling the turbulence of Mercury Retrograde (MRx) coming since the Approach began 14 September, certainly calling loud and clear that all bets for forward motion are off, even a few days before it officially begins.

Being the Warrior for Mars Retrograde

Posted on February 27, 2014 by Sharita Star

Mars Retrograde in Libra 01 March to 19 May 2014

The inner planet retrograde train continues on in 2014, as we move out to Mars, now currently in Libra for a reflective passage. It’s time to appropriately pace and apply extreme patience to the dynamic action unfolding from the where The Scales live in our lives. How will you be mindful under this cycle that will demand to rebalance your life?

Aries: Partnerships where I Relate
Taurus: Habits/Routines/Health where I Serve
Gemini: Creativity/Children/Love Affairs where I Create
Cancer: Home/Family/Environments where I Nurture
Leo: Thinking/Mentalities where I Communicate
Virgo: Earning Power/Values with what I Have
Libra: Approaches/First Impressions with who I Am
Scorpio: Inner Work/Subconscious Study where I Process
Sagittarius: Hopes, Dreams, Wishes/Friends/Groups where I Socialize
Capricorn: Career/Public Life where I Structure
Aquarius: Higher Learning/Travel/Growth where I Believe
Pisces: Regeneration/Change where I Transform

While a Mars Retrograde does not have a do and don’t list like a Mercury Retrograde, Venus Retrograde or our Moon Void of Course time frames have about action oriented for the future, we still are very warned to take courageous care to not allow the natural energies unfolding in this area of our lives to get out of hand.

Check in with Your Natal Birth Chart, 27 to 09 degrees Libra
Approach began: 26 December 2013 while at 09 degrees Libra (where he will station and turn around again upon 19 May).
Shadow concludes: 21 July 2014 when back at 27 degrees Libra (where he is stationed 01 March and begins the Retrograde upon)

Aside from the collective sun sign perspective, more intimate advice is available. Any planets you have placed at 09 to 27 degrees within your natal birth chart, will see an active conversation from the current transit of Mars over this time frame more than once. Here is where the true in-depth look at what your personal map for life can help you with in bringing in understanding as to why and how this current energy affects you accordingly.

Becoming aware of how to properly navigate through this cycle will allow you to experience it for the value of the reflection it offers. Undoubtedly, you have already received the clues about what now asks to be reassessed, as you are experiencing a surge of a dynamic energy unfolding from the Libra area of your life.

Making the Most of Mars Retrograde
What happens now is -due to Mars being a planet of aggressive action, penetration, drive, motivation, desire and yes, the more negative side of tension and anger- under Retrograde it will be more than wise to really no longer avoid what needs to be properly addressed to calm and smooth out what is naturally presenting itself to handle harmoniously. You simply cannot ignore a planet like Mars. The more you may try, the more tensions, anger and rage you will more than likely see unfold. Choosing to find resolve will keep calm energy right by your side.

Now is the time to truly step into the space of courage to be able to manage the reflective energy that will now carry itself through 19 May wherever Libra affects your life. Being the Warrior will grant you the very keys to handle it with ease and flow. Remember, a Warrior does not choose to literally fight, but he will stand up strongly in his courage and defend the courses of action that are happening here within our now with integrity and poise.

Since 07 December, your motivation and drive has been thriving on some level within the Libra area of life. The offering to energize our lives continues with Mars’s very long stay within The Scales, where he journeys until 25 July 2014. When we take on the mindset of addressing this cycle with pure refinement of our desires and current activity, this will stimulate our powers of response and compromise relating to them. The very key here, as for all retrograde times, is to practice patience, and allow for our understanding and courage to prevail. Mars’s natural energy in Libra is relaxed and well regulated, stirring us to all kinds of sensual perceptions, yet under this passage, naturally, these tendencies are a slightly thwarted.

Empowering Tips
Mars Retrograde asks us all to collectively monitor the following, 01 March to 19 May:

Our speed. Take a much slower pace with everything you do. Being in a hurry under Mars Rx will attract the potential for accidents and the unexpected to occur. Equally watch using sharp objects of all kinds, as extra care is definitely needed for this passage.

Our anger. It will be very “easy” to fall to this choice of the free will. But fuel the fires of rage, conflict and impatience under Mars Rx, and you’ll be ever sorry that you did.

Our patience. Choosing this practice will greatly improve your results. This virtue is the most valuable one we can utilize at all times in life, but especially what is currently moving within the Libra.

Our ability to let go. Mars is equally, aside from this motivation and drive, the planet that promotes conclusions, finalization and endings. Know that these will be showing up in powerful ways from the Libra area of your life. Choose to resist them, and you can expect a struggle that you will look back upon and wish you had made a different decision.

As always, Retrograde passages for any planet are nothing to “fear.” The more we ever choose to get caught up in frustration, is like a pure domino affect in what courses of action will continue to attract themselves towards us. As we all evolve in time through Mars’s request for a necessary review passage, it’s time to stand up and become the Warrior. You have all the abilities from within to respond to what is unfolding with courage, patience and a mindfulness that empowers you, and absolutely reduces your stress.

To your contagious courage, Dear Stars.
Namaste.
