Venus is Retrograde and conjunct Saturn. The Sun and the Moon are also conjunct, so this makes the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Saturn all in late degrees of Leo!
If you subscribe to my newsletter, ArtCharts Express, you probably read about the influence of Venus Retrograde on love and money. There's another facet of this Venus Retrograde in Leo that may hold the key to understanding your relationship to both money AND love.
It's your inner child.
Leo rules children. The focus of the Sun, Venus and Saturn conjunct in Leo shows the importance of the children, how we teach them, what they teach us.
Saturn and Venus are conjunct on a New Moon (which means the Sun is also conjunct Saturn). This is an opportunity to learn from your own inner child. What can your inner child teach you about your life right now? How can you, with what you know now, heal the hurts and calm the fears of your inner child? What can you tell your inner child about the messages he/she received? How can you help you inner child shift and release your old, limiting childlike beliefs, and provide your inner child with the wisdom and compassion of your adult perspective.
(After Venus stations Direct in September, Venus and Saturn will conjunct again in Virgo this October; so this is an on-going aspect, which means there will be plenty of opportunities to listen and understand its message.)
The ongoing Venus-Saturn conjunction helps us to see where in our childhood we were repressed, held back, not encouraged to grow in ways that are (were) our own unique path. This is the traditional image of the artist forced to study medicine or law to satisfy a parent's requirements. Were you allowed to be yourself as a child, or did you have to conform to standards?
Did you feel appreciated for who you were as a child? If not, you may still feel unappreciated. It may seem alien to express the affection you feel. If you don't feel lovable for who you are, it is very difficult to radiate love to others. This can make you seem like a cold person who keeps a distance and does not show their joy or appreciation. You start to feel (and act) cut off from your inner source of Love. And this only intensifies the feeling of being alienated and unlovable, which you continue to vibrate, and which continues to be your experience.
If you felt overly restricted and did not experience the joy of being appreciated as a child, you have the power to change that now. Re-parenting you inner child can open you to your free-flowing source love and appreciation in a way that feels safe and supported. The experience of experts and elders can help to guide you through this process.
You can get the guidance you need. Give yourself the gift of a Child*Star Report and learn more about your needs as a child and how you can best re-parent and encourage your development right now. I used to think development was only for children, but my astrology teacher immediately made it clear that we are (hopefully) always developing. There is always more we can learn, more of our talents and abilities we can develop and allow to flourish.
in Love&Light,
Lauren
