Happy Birthday Cancer and Leo!
It's officially summer and time for vacations, relaxation, and the enjoyment of living in the moment! Just as we need time to relax, rest and restore, so do the planets! A plethora of planets will be going retrograde and taking a nap this summer. Venus will retrograde in Leo from July 22nd through September 3rd, 2023, giving us time to pause and savor what we value in life. At the same time, Mercury retrogrades from August 23rd through September 15th in Virgo. Virgo rules work and routine for the entire zodiac, so many of us will re-examine our life's daily habits and make them more fulfilling and in line with our ideals and goals. Mercury retrograde gives us time to pause, reflect, and take in.
