#271-"I Make the Story Lan and Sharp"--Week of July 29, 2024

In the Northern Hemisphere seasonal changes, this week we enter the first harvest time of Lammas. Venus (Relational One) in Leo squares Uranus (Maverick) in Taurus waking you up to make necessary changes in your relationships (with self and others). Come out more visibly in your uniqueness and release patterns of seeking approval from others to feel worthy. The New Moon in Leo invites you to shine your gifts, radiate your creative love and warmth from your Inner Sovereign. Mercury (Communicator) turns retrograde (seemingly backtracking in the heavens) to begin a 3-week journey of reviewing ideas, mental patterns and expression. Chani says: "This particular backtrack begins in meticulous Virgo and then rewinds into showboating Leo. This transit reminds us that when we refine the ways that we share our creative gifts with the world, we attract our ideal audiences."
