Venus Enters Virgo

Venus enters Virgo on September 4th at 11:05 pm CDT and will stay here until September 29th. This will be a tricky Venus transit as Venus’ ruler, Mercury, will station retrograde on September 9th, which means our relationships may begin to backpedal or hit some bumps. We may become over-critical of where things stand, and it will be crucial for us not to get lost in a maze of analysis or judgment.

Sun Enters Virgo

The Sun enters Virgo on August 22nd at exactly 10:16 pm CDT and will stay here until September 22nd. This Virgo season will be a little different than usual because Mercury, the Sun’s ruler, will retrograde in Libra starting September 9th. Whatever important decisions we’d like to make, we should make them soon.

Mars Enters Gemini

Mars enters Gemini on August 20th at exactly 2:56 am CDT and will stay here for an incredible seven months due to an upcoming Mars retrograde. I can’t stress enough how impactful and, quite honestly, exhausting the next seven months will be. Gemini energy, while lighthearted, can be chaotic, so we must maintain a strong core; otherwise, we may find ourselves shaken and tossed around in ways we don’t appreciate.

Venus Enters Leo

Venus enters Leo on August 11th at exactly 1:30 pm CDT and will stay here until September 4th. This transit encourages us to get back in touch with our own aesthetic - what we find beautiful and attractive. We are also ready for our expressions of love to get bigger and bolder, as we love ourselves and others more. It’s time to bring whatever romantic feelings or values you've kept in the dark into the light.

Mercury Enters Virgo

Mercury enters Virgo on August 4th at exactly 1:58 am CDT and will stay here until August 25th. Mercury is back in one of its home signs where it is most comfortable, but that will mean our minds will be more active than usual. We all have a unique relationship with our minds, so for some of us, this will be a very productive time, but others may find themselves overwhelmed and constantly trying to interpret information. Let’s make sure to take breaks and get out of our heads occasionally.

Mercury Enters Cancer

Mercury enters Cancer on July 5th at exactly 1:25 am CDT and will stay here until July 19th. We have just two short weeks with this transit, but mentally we will go through many stages as our outlook changes every 2-3 days with the Moon, Cancer’s ruler. Don’t hold too tightly to one communication strategy - let your emotions dictate your approach.

Venus Enters Gemini

Venus enters Gemini on June 22 at exactly 7:34 pm CDT and will stay here until July 17th. The focus of our relationships and values undergo a shift away from pleasure and comfort toward connection and engagement. We must understand and appreciate that relationships do not thrive under silence and can not evolve if they lack mental stimulation.
