Detailed 2nd Half 2024
July 2024
Venus Retrograde (July 22 - September 3, 2024):
- Key Theme: Emotional Reflection, Relationship Reassessment
- Impact: Venus retrograde in Leo is a period of reflection around relationships, love, and family dynamics. This will impact how you and Justin relate emotionally, as Leo energy is about expression and personal pride. You might experience tension as both of you reflect on what truly matters in your marriage and family.
- Family Dynamics: This period could affect how you manage co-parenting with Amy. Emotions could run high, and communication may feel strained, particularly with Lily. It's a good time to reassess how you approach these co-parenting challenges. Raphael and Sophina, as sensitive Cancers, may feel the emotional weight in the home, so pay attention to their moods.
- Opportunities: Use this time to reevaluate your emotional needs and relationships with your children. It's a good month to take stock of your personal goals and how you want to structure your family's emotional environment. July will also be a good time for you and Justin to sit down and have an open conversation about how you're both feeling before Venus goes fully retrograde.
Financial Insights:
- Avoid making big financial decisions while Venus is retrograde. It's not an ideal time for signing contracts or making large purchases related to the home or business. However, it's a great time to reassess financial goals and long-term plans. Revisit budgets and make sure everything aligns with your bigger vision.
August 2024: Final Stages of Venus Retrograde & Reflection
Astrological Overview
