Venus & Vesta also delves into the upcoming shift into Virgo season and the conjunction of Mercury Retrograde with Mars and Pallas Athena, forming a kite formation.  KEY TAKEAWAYS A Yod formation is created by Venus Retrograde Point, with Pluto and Neptune. This Yod is a significant astrological event that points to a specific area of focus and potential action. The Sun's passage through the 28 degrees Leo point, which is the focus of the Yod, reignites the themes of Venus Retrograde and highlights the need for a heart-centred awakening and expansion. The influence of Mercury Retrograde in Virgo brings a shift in mental gears and a need for attention to detail, due diligence, and a review of communication and information. The kite formation created by Mercury Retrograde, Mars, and Pallas Athena in Virgo, with Neptune in Pisces as the focus, emphasizes the need to get our facts right, avoid delusion, and empower ourselves in the face of external influences. The retrograde motion of multiple planets, including Venus, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, and Mercury, indicates a period of introspection, review, and potential shifts in various areas of life, including relationships, career, health, and spirituality. It is a time to dig deeper, reassess, and make necessary adjustments. BEST MOMENTS "This 28 degrees Leo point is kind of primed for action." "Pluto in Capricorn represents the patriarchy and the power, the big greed of the corporates." "Neptune in Pisces shows where we are lost or where we have given ourselves up." "Mercury retrograde in Virgo is asking you to get your stuff right, to be less disempowered or delusioned." "Jupiter and Uranus want us to feel into our bodies more, to get into our natural habitat, our natural physical urges and feelings."
