Notes:
Venus is Leo where it will be until October 8 that’s a much longer cycle than usual because it retrogrades for a while. This longer time intensifies all matters relating to the placement that in general affects what you desire which can be multiple things such as what you love to do, what you’re drawn to as interests, hobbies, people and even places. Venus governs love and in Leo triggers so many aspects of it as well as instigating you to explore more in that area. Leo is self-expression that you may choose to cultivate and enhance leading to fulfillment. This is a good time to cultivate true desire and enjoy indulging in what provides happiness. Special bonds can be cultivated with children and those with whom you share common interests. What and who you love is important. The months are great for striving toward increasing confidence plus this mellowing ray can be soothing and help to achieve fulfillment. Due to the opposition to Pluto in Aquarius on the same day a pattern is set that gives a sense of urgency or importance and cautions not to go overboard spending or indulging in any way that’s risky.
Considering the note below about Pluto there’s a strong impulse to have structure and reliability that may be challenging so review your priorities for the best way to work with this. This is in part due to the month when the Sun transits Cancer while opposing Pluto that calls for strong awareness.
Worth repeating:
Pluto is Retrograde back into Capricorn from its overall placement in Aquarius until January 2024. It’s in Capricorn until October 10, 2023 bringing back numerous issues experienced during past years such as political upheaval and challenges with powers-that-be such as national and corporate leaders. Whoever was the front person was and is again in the limelight and challenged for a variety of reasons and as well new leaders will experience being on the line. Structures such as nations, cities and corporations once again need to manage well and strive for solvency to maintain their standing.

AFFIRMATION
These affirmations are composed based on current celestial placements. As a clinical hypnotherapist I’ve studied writing scripts for clients so the composition is written with the intent to allow connecting with the heavens and expanding awareness to be more in harmony for the highest good. Taking a moment to be still and ideally in a quiet place, or even when going to sleep, the reading or speaking of these may be helpful and benefit your soul journey. Even just seeing it can be beneficial.
“Blessings grow from my current
abundance.”
