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

• Venus Retrograde (July 22 - September 3): Venus continues its retrograde journey through Leo during the first half of August, encouraging reflection on relationships, love, self-expression, and personal value. Venus in Leo may bring a heightened focus on how you and Justin are seen in your public roles (such as business and co-parenting). The kids are away at camp until August 16, making this a crucial time for you and Justin to process emotional matters and reframe how you connect with each other before the retrograde ends.
• Mercury in Virgo (August 24 - September 9): Mercury moves into Virgo at the end of August, bringing a clear, practical mindset that helps with organization and details. You'll feel more focused on logistics—whether that's about the kids going back to school, getting things sorted for your legal case, or managing your business operations.
