The Heart Wants What the Heart Wants: Astrology Forecast August 6th – 13th

On August 8th, we reach the 8:8 Lions Gate guarded by the Regulus Star Lions of Yesterday and Tomorrow, ensuring that those of us who pass through the portal are not attached to the past or the future, but are creating with a focus on the Now or Zero Point.
This is when the Earth aligns with Sirius and Leo, unfolding a new cycle of Time/Space. In order to cross this threshold and move to a higher time-line or bandwidth of experience, choose to be in your highest consciousness and centred in your High Heart.
On August 13, retrograde Venus merges with the Sun at 20° Leo at the midpoint of her retrograde cycle, moving quite slowly across the zodiac at her nearest to the Earth and is, from our point of view, at her darkest.
This Dark Venus Black Out is akin to a total eclipse of the heart – one of those times when some of your most precious hopes and dreams have fallen apart and dissolved in front of your eyes. When it’s tempting to think that something has gone wrong, some great cosmic mistake has been made, that you’ve have failed, or been forsaken.
The truth is that it’s an opportunity to bring your inner map up to date with your current reality – a kind of somatic and psychic restructuring.
If you’ve been paying attention to your emotional world since the Goddess began her retrograde on July 23rd, now is when you might start to gain some clarity around a difficult emotional, financial or personal issue. But don’t expect to have a sudden epiphany or lightbulb moment when all your problems are magically dissolved -Venus will reverse all the way back to 8 Leo before turning direct on September 3rd then re-crosses the retrograde degrees before exiting into Virgo on October 10th.
The threads that bind us to others are both fragile and immensely strong. When it becomes apparent that certain heart ties need to be cut to free you from a life you’ve outgrown, be both kind and resolutely clear.
Your own life is at stake-far better to escape from entanglements that drain you than to be strangled by duty or obligation.
Start by moving in the direction of your true desires, no longer simply conforming to what you’re supposed to want.
Aries Weekly Forecast: August 6-13, 2023
Venus is retrograding through your Leo 5th House-one of the most auspicious parts of your chart and psyche. You might be discovering or re-discovering a deeply creative part of you that has lain dormant and untapped or involved in a behind the scenes love affair that has to be kept secret. Around August 9th, you could discover something that changes your mind about someone or shocks you into making a sudden about face.
An emotional tide is turning.
