Weekly insights into the stars
Enlightenment wakes us up, setting us on the path to constructive change and far less risk of making the same mistakes twice – or more! Definitely time to take a long hard look at anything problematic in your life or relationships that seems to be stuck on repeat. Virgo loves a bit of analysis!
Jupiter is Venus’ first date on her new journey through Leo. The only thing to bear in mind is that Jupiter is currently retrograde so look out for the “re” factor – reworking, replanning, rethinking etc. This can show as changes of plan or going back to plan A or even an ex. This is classic astrology for second chances that are worth exploring.
