Redefining Values, Finances & Relationships in Summer 2015

Posted on July 9, 2015 by Sharita Star

Venus at her Mirror, VELÁZQUEZ, Diego Rodriguez de Silva y

Should the very word “retrograde” typically scare the average star follower, this is merely because they are not in full awareness of how to optimally work with any given cycle of reflection rather than fight against it. Our planet of love, harmony, and luxury hasn’t taken a real vacation since late December 2013 and January 2014 when she was evening the score in Capricorn.

For the next few weeks -25 July to 06 September- as our Sun transits in very early Virgo and the majority of Leo, Venus will be resting up once more. Even though we aren’t as warned to watch out for zaniness as we are under such inner planetary reflection as Mercury and Mars request- a Venus Retrograde brings us to a deeper sense of what we value within our lives, what’s it all really worth and how we truly relate to it all.

What To Reflect Upon Under 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.

1.Beauty
All beauty enhancements are off limits, for Venus while backtracking will, for example, probably turn original brown intended hair color into orange, or the house renovation color intended to be red might just turn out hot pink, by “accident.”

2. Money/Finances
Curious as to why the stock market computers went “silent” for a few hours on 08 July under the current Approach to Venus Retrograde? Aside from the possibilities of computer glitches, (equally as our Messenger Mercury was precisely on the tipping point of Gemini entering Cancer to add to this occurrence) you’ll equally notice a definite “drop in value” concerning financial affairs and money matters across the board. Venus Retrograde prefers instead of trying to “make money” under her reflective journey, we choose instead to reassess our situations and get ready for major moves later. Avoiding any kind of luxury purchase is highly favored.

3. Relating to Others
Relationships, especially new ones, should be carefully monitored over this time. Beginning a new romance or a marriage are not particularly favored courses of action. However, this a prominent time when old love affairs and people you once knew return: so have fun remembering, or realize why they aren’t an active part of your life anymore!

Wonderful Ways To Appreciate Venus Retrograde
BE charitable with money.
WATCH over-spending.
AVOID buying luxurious items, moving money to increase its’ value, renovating the home, or any kind of beauty enhancement.
DO scoop up any bargains! THIS is totally Venus Rx approved!
BE GRATEFUL for what you already own and who you already know.
REASSESS what is worthy of gratitude and appreciation: keep it or toss it!
REFLECT upon all your present relationships, business or personal.
EMBRACE falling in love all over again- or let it go!
VISIT ART! Whether at a museum, gallery, music performance, or through nature, Venus enhances our appreciation and understanding of it all at this time. The older it is, the better.
REVISIT creative adventures already in progress. Reflect upon ways to improve them.

Where To Reflect | 0 degrees Virgo to 14 degrees Leo
This is the specific area of our Zodiac Pie that will be calling for a passage of reflection and review. Collectively, this retreat within The Virgin & The Lion specifies that we take a slow, patient pace here, and dive into what these signs request when it comes to developing both our discriminating and heartfelt responses.

Reflection in Virgo | 25 July, 5:23am EDT to 31 July, 11:27am EDT
The calling for pure, controlled, service-oriented and limited affections ask for us to place attention upon them, so that we can recognize all the ways improvements can be brought into our awareness. Being the sign of correction, adjustments and details striving for perfection, all you will see that needs “fixing” will be revealed as a sense of self-surrender will be present at this time.

Reflection in Leo | 31 July 11:27am EDT to 06 September, 4:29am EDT
The calling for whole-hearted, faithful, inspiring and loyal affections asks for us to place attention upon them, so that we can recognize all the ways improvements can be brought into our awareness. Being the sign of drama, creativity and nobility, all you will see that seeks to be realigned and balanced will reflect the best through returning to generosity and loyalty from our heart in order to make the proper reassessments.

What About YOU during this Cycle of Reflection?
The simplicity of knowing your sun sign is a great place to start while we all take up in value-oriented review. Where are you favored to place focus, taking time in retreat- to admire, weight the pros and cons, and then eliminate what is not worth the effort any longer?

If you know your Rising Sign/Ascendant, this simple key will equally apply to your natal chart’s advice for this passage. Yet, we do always advise, have a professional astrologer do the accurate math for you.

Aries: I Serve Health/Being of Service/Employees/Pets 25 to 31 July
I Create Creativity/Children/Love Affairs 31 July to 06 Sept

Taurus: I Create Creativity/Children/Love Affairs 25 to 31 July
I Nurture Home/Family/Emotions/Environments 31 July to 06 Sept

Gemini: I Nurture Home/Family/Emotions/Environments 25 to 31 July
I Communicate Thinking/Mentality/Communications 31 July to 06 Sept

Cancer: I Communicate Thinking/Mentality/Communications 25 to 31 July
I Have Values/Earning Power/Possessions 31 July to 06 Sept

Leo: I Have Values/Earning Power/Possessions 25 to 31 July
I Am Approaches/Mask to the World/Motivations 31 July to 06 Sept

Virgo: I Am Approaches/Mask to the World/First Impressions 25 to 31 July
I Process Inner Psyche/Clearing of the Past 31 July to 06 Sept

Libra: I Process Inner Psyche/Clearing of the Past 25 to 31 July
I Socialize Innovations/Friendships/Organizations 31 July to 06 Sept

Scorpio: I Socialize Innovations/Friendships/Organizations 25 to 31 July
I Structure Career/Public Life/Opportunities 31 July to 06 Sept

Sagittarius: I Structure Career/Public Life/Opportunities 25 to 31 July
I Believe Philosophies/Foreign Travel/Education 31 July to 06 Sept

Capricorn: I Believe Philosophies/Foreign Travel/Education 25 to 31 July
I Transform Transformations/Sexuality/Wealth 31 July to 06 Sept

Aquarius: I Transform Transformations/Sexuality/Wealth 25 to 31 July
I Relate Partnerships/Marriage/Balance with Others 31 July to 06 Sept

Pisces: I Relate Partnerships/Marriage/Balance with Others 25 to 31 July
I Serve Health/Being of Service/Employees/Pets 31 July to 06 Sept

Take these personalized areas of the life and see where you are asked to reflect upon Venus’s backwards journey. What is no longer of value to you or seemingly “worth it” from the particular area of life that Venus Retrograde is calling for your review, is extremely favored for release and review.

Thinking in Simpleton Terms
Simplicity and making life less complicated is always favored under any retrograde cycle, so the reflective tone of it can succeed with flying colors. We will stress again to remember no matter what sign you are, any creative endeavor involving the completely brand new in the areas of beauty enhancements, (i.e. redecorating, home improvements, haircutting/coloring, cosmetic surgery, etc.), tend to not go over well. Whatever already exists or remains an unfinished creative project, this passage will grant the perfect time to revisit them for improvement. Some of the most amazing artistic endeavors can find their way to a harmonious completion under this passage.

Dealings in the financial areas of life are especially wise to delay any major decisions for long-term success until after 06 September 2015, (but remember again Mercury goes Retrograde within days of Venus returning to Direct motion upon 17 September until the 09 October, so be extra cautious with genuine long term decisions for success.)

Venus Retrogrades become buyer’s markets, as the victors are the ones walking away with the bargain, (and they’ll be ever proud of them under Leo’s energy). Before any boasting roars, they also may not have received the value they actually thought they were getting if it does lean to the luxurious. Past debts may surface, and these should be addressed. So, if you’ve got a money situation or a lingering legality that needs clearing up, this is a perfect place for focus and solution seeking research.

The Approach & Shadow of Venus Retrograde
Be aware that decisions and actions made as Venus started her approach -on 21 June while going Direct from 14 degrees Leo until Retrograde motion begins 25 July- are equally involved in this time of reflection. Once Direct on 06 September, the shadow will prevail until 08 October when Venus returns to 0 degrees Virgo, offering the opportunity to adjust any important decisions that may have had to be made while in Retrograde.

Decisions will be rather challenged as our summer turns into autumn, as our last Mercury Retrograde of 2015 runs 17 September to 09 October, whose Approach begins 28 August. As approaches, shadows, and retrogrades all intersect and overlap, our inner planets will be practically scream from above to reflect and reassess in the appropriate areas of our lives in which they call.

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 attracts herself to the retrograde title, how apropos the anagrams we can derive are able to spell out the real truth of how we can reap rewards and stay in true tune with her request to revisit how we earn, understand and relate as we return to save our lives.

Honoring A Cycle of Reflection
Appreciate this time for reassessment where The Virgin & The Lion seek to align the details to bring matters of the heart to become more aligned with the decisions your head makes in your Zodiac Pie Dear Stars. Once 06 September comes to pass, the activity within these degrees points (0 degrees Virgo to 14 degrees Leo) of the life will start to stir and reap goodness within your life unlike any other in quite some time.

Remember, what is deserved here comes from the acts of review under the retrograde. So rest and reset now, then happily gather your reward later! Know, the grandeur may not be what you had originally anticipated, but what is meant to become simpler here, is the real value you’ll discover that is a genuine gift you’ve been patiently waiting for.

Create Your NOW & OWN Your Truth

Posted on June 15, 2015 by Sharita Star

The Zodiac skies above have a truly tremendous treat for anyone to enjoy down here below as we head into Summer 2015. Undoubtedly, if you were tuned in to the recent ‘Not Your Average Mercury Retrograde’ 18 May to 11 June, you are more than ready for this relief.

The Creativity Vortex
What’s happening and already forming from above is a pure channel of delight that is sure to tickle anyone’s fancy who enjoys feeling good, seizing opportunities for growth, honoring truth and finding their creative flow. This passage will move with plenty of originality, the unexpected, break-through energy and never seen before kinds of ideas that are just waiting to be heard, listened to, and absolutely acted upon.

Let us all warmly welcome Uranus in Aries trine Jupiter in Leo. These two fire signs are thrilled to be serving up some power and complete potential to make positive change via the planets that are currently transiting within them. While Uranus and Jupiter are already in close conversation, their exact meet up at the 20th degree of Aries and Leo occurs Monday, 9:46am EDT 6:46am PDT, 22 June.

We already know fire on it’s own creates spirited and inspired energy, but when you have the planet of reform, eccentricity and individuality –Uranus, journeying through pioneering Aries- making joyous communication with the planet of philosophy, truth and good fortune –Jupiter, journeying through heartfelt Leo- something purely magical is bound to happen. If you have been waiting for that sensation of knowing you are “in the right place at the right time” this is one of the more powerful ones that you’ll feel strongly about during 2015.

Allow Your Imagination to Soar
At this 20th degree planetary meetup in Aries and Leo, we have another clue to how much it all relates to us waking up and connecting to what is channeling from our feelings through our imagination. The 20 represents the ‘The Awakening’ as the Chaldean’s understood its’ karmic mystery to proclaim:

“There is a powerful awakening, bringing in a new purpose, new plans, new ambitions- the call to action for some great cause or ideal. 20 brings the blessing of vivid precognitive dreams, plus the ability to manifest the happy ones and cancel the negative ones.” ~Linda Goodman’s Star Signs

So get out your dream journals, and captivate it all to create what you are seeking to move forward in your life NOW, and as “they” say: OWN it. Even after the 22 June, Uranus and Jupiter will continue to journey within 2 degrees of one another until the second week of July. Our source energy will completely be on fire, and it’s going to be abundant, amazing and astonishing across the board for those who hone right on in.

Bonus Reigning in of Harmony and Balance
As if Uranus and Jupiter bringing us this creative and imaginative zone of truth and inspiration between Aries and Leo isn’t enough, there is more good news to relate from our planetary skies.

Venus, our planet of luxury, pleasure, harmony and relationships, also becomes part of this dynamic channel -who equally is journeying within Leo. Adding in a pure boost of energy to what Uranus and Jupiter will create on their own, Venus flavors this aspect even more when she herself trines Uranus from the 20th degree of Leo Monday, 2:26amEDT, 29 June/Sunday, 11:26pm PDT, 28 June. Strokes of pure luck, more money and a special flare of creative fire will make sure whatever is being originated, is looking extra pretty as well.

The Soul Testing is Over
And there is more abundance to speak of from this divine planetary tale! By Wednesday, 3:51am EDT 1:51amPDT, 01 July –preceding the Full Moon in Capricorn that evening- Venus makes a conjunction to Jupiter in Leo at the 21st degree. While the generosity of what will already be going on will certainly seem like enough, this conversation simply allows all the more optimism, joy, fortune, and a sense of peace to wave a magic wand over whatever is in current motion.

At the 21st degree, many will also sense (if they have done the previous “soul homework” of looking within) that 2015’s soul testing -which has been undeniably strong for most- is over. There is joy to receive, truth to honor, and a NOW to OWN as we can all reclaim it. Said the Chaldeans of the 21:

“21 is pictured as The Universe, and also is called ‘The Crown of the Magi.’ It promises general success, and guarantees advancement, honors, awards, and general elevation in the life and career. It indicates victory after a long struggle, for the Crown of the Magi is gained only after long initiation, much soul testing and various other tests of determination. However, the person or entity blessed with the number 21 may be certain of final victory over all odds and all opposition. It’s a most fortunate vibration- a number of karmic reward.” ~Linda Goodman’s Star Signs

How Can You Reap Rewards?
There are so many benefits and good feelings to recognize and captivate through the proper use of our intentions in the weeks ahead. As this collective energy pursues, it undoubtedly will be highly contagious, so watch out for good feelings to be coming your way. But where should you personally focus for your individual success when it comes to what this channel is asking for us all to listen to the most? If you know your sun sign, this is a great place to start!

A Quick Word on The Idealist….

Posted on September 5, 2012 by Sharita Star

Venus enters Leo

06 September
10:48am EDT

The Idealist is happily moving right along again as she now generously moves in with The Lion to whole-heartedly smooth out the Summer’s review here via our Messenger Mercury and bring further harmony to the new beginnings that nobly kicked off in this piece of the Zodiac Pie upon 17 August’s New Moon.

Through 03 October, Venus casts off a faithful affection that can be felt here, ultimately assuring that the heart indeed does rule the head and this will inspire quite the attentive response. Taking up with a creative task in this area of the life will allow a dramatic self-expression to unfold, as tender, playful and pleasurable acts are able to shine wherever Leo is loyal to you.

Looking to matters of the heart indeed are preferred, as long as a warmth of approach is the way harmony is sought. Knowing Leo is one of the most dramatic forces within the Zodiac, gravitating to self-centered reactions upon the stage of life here will not unfold the most desires results. When generous and dignified dispositions are adhered to, it can be certain sincere and stimulated outcomes will be the end result.

Venus is never the argumentative planet by far, but while in Leo, if her territory feels threatened, beware of a roar where The Lion reigns. The only other planet she will make a square to (aside from our Lunar Lady when she passes through any other fixed sign) under her transit in Leo is upon 27 September, when a direct square forms to our pioneering planet Mars at the 23 degree of Scorpio. Take note at this time how these two areas of the life are able to communicate with understanding at this time, and a fresh foundation will easily be found.

Venus transits love to iron out any kinks that may be lingering wherever she journeys, so be sure to take up with this time within The Lion to bring balance back and enjoy the opportunity to have some pleasures creatively display themselves to you!
