Hello and welcome to
Pisces Moon Astrology.
I'm your astrologer, kateLeonard, and I'm excited to
explore the stars with you.
Hi everyone, welcome to theweek of July 27th through August
2nd.
I cannot believe how fast thisyear is going, but I can believe
(00:25):
that we've got a lot of Venusaction this week.
That means, if you'reinterested in love,
relationships of any kind, money, art, all my creative friends,
my writers, my content creators,this week is for you.
There's a whole ton of Venusand it's interesting energy.
(00:47):
So hang out with me for a whileand let's talk about it, all
right.
So the main event this week ison July 31st, venus is going to
move into Cancer.
That's already like a wonderfulenergy the goddess of love
moving into emotional, nurturing, protective cancer.
(01:10):
This is just going to be areally nice season of Venus.
But the minute she crosses thatline, she is going to form a
tense aspect with both Saturnand Neptune, who are both still
retrograde in Aries.
So I know that doesn't soundlike the kind of Venus thing you
(01:31):
want to hear about, but Ipromise you it actually is.
Venus in a square in any kindof a tense aspect is not bad,
right.
Venus just can't be bad really,unless she's in a medical chart
, and then she can kind of makeyou crave sugar a whole lot.
Venus in a square or opposition.
(01:52):
That kind of thing is reallyusually just going to mean that
you have to work for it a littlebit or there's something you
have to overcome first beforeyou get the full Venusian kind
of glory.
So we're going to talk aboutthat.
But there's other stuff goingon first.
I know a whole lot of you arelike Kate.
(02:13):
We love Venus.
But what about the Lion's Gateportal?
Though the exact Lion's Gate ison August 8th, the portal
itself opens on July 26th.
I'm going to do a bonus episodeon that because that's kind of
its own gigantic thing and we'lltalk about it.
(02:35):
So I promise you a Lionsgateportal bonus episode is
absolutely coming.
But the Venus ingress intoCancer and the aspect she's
making to Saturn and Neptune isreally important.
So I want to cover that.
I'll give you the bonus episodefor sure.
And you know I always like totell you the other things that
(02:56):
are going on this week in caseyou want to do your own research
on those.
On July 30th Chiron is joiningthe retrograde party.
He will be stationing to startgoing retrograde through Aries.
Chiron retrograde can have todo with going back over old
traumas or old fears.
(03:18):
These may be things that wefeel like we've already done the
work, we've already taken careof everything and we might find
that a deeper level of healingis available to us.
And I know sometimes when Ibring up that we might need to
do more healing work, I get alot of people saying oh my gosh,
(03:40):
I am so done.
Do I have to go back andrevisit those things again?
Oh my gosh, I am so done.
Do I have to go back andrevisit those things again?
Chiron retrograde is usuallynot one that you have to go back
and do.
It's not quite as overt as someof the retrogrades.
I usually find that we have theopportunity to do deeper
healing.
(04:00):
So don't worry if you're kindof just not into it.
And it doesn't have to happenthis week because he's not
turning direct until January 2nd, so you've got time to work
with that energy.
Just kind of be aware it'sgoing on.
On the 31st the sun is going tobe conjunct, the retrograding
(04:22):
Mercury and that is a time whenMercury gets renewed.
However, we won't be seeing anyof the benefits of this kind of
recharge that Mercury is goingto go through until he comes out
from under the sun's beams,which just happens to be the
exact day he's turning direct,and that'll be August 11th.
(04:44):
So look for I mean the Sun andMercury.
This is inspired ideas.
But even with that inspirationthat's very probably going to
come, don't expect that you'llbe able to do a whole lot with
it until August.
All right, so I hope that's allhelpful.
Now let's get into Venus.
(05:05):
So one of the truly kind ofwonderful things that is going
to start impacting us right fromthe beginning when Venus
crosses into Cancer is she'sgoing to be in the same sign as
the greater benefic Jupiter, bein the same sign as the greater
(05:27):
benefic Jupiter.
So this is the greater andlesser benefics together in the
same sign.
Oh, my goodness, that is awhole lot of blessings going on.
Now, she's not going to beexact, be conjunct with Jupiter
until August 12th, but trulyjust having these two in the
same sign is huge.
(05:47):
Venus in Cancer is brilliantenergy for deepening love,
because Cancer's the nurturerand the protector.
So really deepening our love,experiencing profound creativity
and even an intuitive senseabout how to increase our net
(06:10):
worth right, because Venus hasto do with money.
So how do we nurture ourfinances?
Think of cancer.
How do we increase our nest egg?
Right, that's exactly Venus incancer.
Jupiter is the great expander.
How do we make all of thisstuff bigger, deeper, more
(06:32):
profound?
This is going to be just suchsuch a brilliant time.
I love it a lot.
Don't forget August 12th.
They go exactly conjunct andlet the blessings roll.
Trust me, I'll be doing anepisode on that.
This energy is going to beavailable to us the Venus in
Cancer Energy through August25th.
(06:55):
She changes signs on the 26th.
I'm loving this.
This is really, really good.
Now remember that even justthis much, I'm going to get to
Saturn and Neptune, I promise.
But I wanted to give you alittle bit of help with the
house breakdown, because howthis is going to impact us is
going to have a lot to do withwhat house cancer holds in your
(07:19):
chart.
So remember, if cancer is yourfirst house, that is going to be
about self-love, nurturing self.
All of that.
Second house is really going tobe that nest egg, nurturing and
protecting your finances.
Third house is communication,community siblings.
That's where you're going to beputting your nurturing.
(07:42):
Fourth house is home and family.
That speaks for itself.
Fifth house you writers,creatives, artists.
If you've got this transitgoing through your fifth house,
that's creativity, children,leisure time, all of those kinds
of things.
The other thing because I knowa lot of writers tell me all the
(08:03):
time I'm with writers a lot andthey'll say, well, yeah, that's
great.
I mean you say this stuff forthe creatives, but I mean
Cancer's not.
My fifth house Is Venus, theruler of your fifth house.
So for everybody, I'm going tostop and I promise I'm going to
get to the other houses.
But don't just look at whereCancer is.
Venus rules Taurus and Libra,so what she's doing is going to
(08:29):
have impact in those areas too.
So look to see where's Taurus,where's Libra, where's Cancer.
All of those are going to getsome Venus vibes this week, all
right.
Sixth house this is, on one hand, this is our health Nurture
(08:50):
your own physical well-being.
It's also pets, so put somenurturing and protective energy
into your fur babies, fin babiesif you're like me, feather
babies, whatever your babies are, put that nurturing in there.
Seventh house is your primaryrelationship.
Now, again, if your seventhhouse isn't Cancer and you're
(09:11):
one of those people reallywanting to work on relationship
this week, cancer, and you'reone of those people really
wanting to work on relationshipthis week Is your seventh house
Taurus.
Is it Libra or is Venus makingan aspect to a planet there?
You gotta look at your natalchart.
Eighth house has a lot to dowith mental health, especially
trauma and fear issues, but it'salso things like investments
and combined resources.
But it's also things likeinvestments and combined
(09:34):
resources.
Ninth house is spirituality andeducational pursuits, and also
foreign travel.
So those would be the thingsthat you're nurturing through
this period.
Tenth house is career.
That speaks for itself.
Eleventh house is friends, yourtribe groups that you are
(09:55):
connected to.
It's a good time to gettogether with friends through
this whole Venus transit andjust take care of each other,
enjoy each other.
12th house has to do withmental health rest alone time.
This is a perfect transit forgoing on like some kind of a
retreat, whether that's aliteral, like meditation retreat
(10:15):
, or whether that's maybe justgetting out into nature and
giving yourself a little time toreally just be okay.
That's 12th house.
So, anyway, that's just Venusin Cancer kind of stuff.
I hope that's helpful, butremember to look at the houses
(10:35):
she rules and remember to see isshe making any aspects to your
natal planets.
Okay, now let's get into Saturnand Neptune, because I don't
want this going too too long.
So for both of these planets, Imean Saturn.
While I actually love Saturn alot, he's the planet that allows
us to reach the top.
(10:56):
He gives us stamina, he givesus the ability to work hard to
reach goals.
He brings the kind of wisdomthat comes from experience,
unlike Jupiter's wisdom that isa sort of spiritually downloaded
kind of wisdom.
Saturn is wisdom from theschool of hard knocks.
(11:18):
Right, it's that wisdom that weearn because of our experiences
.
I love Saturn, but the ancientsdid call him the greater
malefic.
I don't agree with that at all.
I actually don't like Neptune,and I think if the ancients had
known Neptune, they would haveagreed with me that he's
horrible.
But Saturn gets that moniker,and let's talk about it.
(11:41):
What my clients in general don'tlike about Saturn usually is
that he says slow down, saturnisn't after quick results, he's
after solid results.
There's nothing wrong with that.
But none of us wants to wait.
I get it, I totally get it.
So what's he doing this week?
He's saying with Venus to putthe brakes on for a minute, and
(12:05):
there's another reason to dothat too, having to do with
Neptune.
So hold that thought about whywe might want to take a pause
this week.
He's saying slow down, let'smake sure this relationship
creative, project, job, whateverit is let's make sure that it's
(12:25):
what we want.
Saturn's in Aries what do Iwant?
Let's make sure that it's trulywhat we want.
Let's make sure it's stable andstrong and will stand the test
of time.
Those are all Saturn things,right?
Saturn's not a flirt.
Saturn wants a relationshipthat's gonna go the distance.
Saturn wants you to examinethat relationship and see do we
(12:49):
need to fix it, ditch it?
What do we need to do with this?
Or is it exactly what we want?
But it was worth contemplatingfor a little bit.
Sometimes we cling torelationships, to whatever a job
, whatever it is.
We sometimes cling just becauseit's the thing we know, and
(13:11):
breakups and endings of any kindare just usually not that much
fun.
Who wants to do that?
It's just sometimes easier tostay in than go through the kind
of yuck of getting out.
The other reason we sometimesstay in relationships that
aren't really the best isbecause we're scared about what
(13:33):
comes next.
Saturn is saying take this weekand just slow down a little bit,
take a break, you know, go tothat meditation retreat or
something.
Because before you go into thatVenus deepening you know, venus
in cancer deepening nurturingmode with this relationship, why
(13:56):
don't you make sure it's trulythe right one for you or tweak
it in ways?
It may be Saturn rulesboundaries.
It may be that you just need toredefine it a little bit and
then it will be the right one.
So I'm not saying everybody'sgoing out and breaking up,
quitting jobs, whatever it is,trashing their, you know,
(14:16):
pressing delete on their formermanuscript, none of that.
It's just a time to go a littlebit slow and kind of let
yourself look at it a bit.
And not just that, becausewe've got Neptune.
The other reason to slow down,you know I hate Neptune.
I'm just going to say itstraight up.
People go, kate, you shouldn'tsay you hate things.
(14:38):
No, I should.
I hate Neptune, not always.
I have to admit that once in awild blue moon he does a good
thing, but I don't like him.
Anywho, enough of that.
Neptune is conjunct Saturn, sohe's making the same square to
Venus that Saturn is, andNeptune is making things
(15:00):
difficult to see.
So while Saturn is saying getclear, take a little minute and
get some clarity.
Neptune's saying like, yeah,try doing that underwater, with
your vision all distorted,distorted, okay.
(15:21):
So it's just a good week totake things slow.
Take things slow and letyourself feel into them.
Neptune is water, cancer iswater.
So it's a very good time to goslow and let your intuition
guide you.
Don't only think Saturn won'tlike me saying this but don't
only think about what's right,also feel it.
(15:43):
But let yourself have that timeto really know what you feel,
so that you know you'reaccessing your deep feelings,
not just your first feelings.
All right, now let's get on tothe good part about Saturn,
because it's not only this slowdown, take a break thing,
because I know you would all go.
Could you really decided totell us about this Instead of
(16:05):
about Lion's Gate?
You pick this Saturn thing.
But Saturn also bringsseriousness and weight to the
Venus topics.
Venus can be a little frothy.
You know she likes a goodbubble bath.
This girl.
Saturn says no, we're going tosolidify this.
(16:26):
So if you take your time andget to that place that Saturn's
asking you to get to, let me beclear.
Venus says let's go deep, getto.
Let me be clear.
Venus says let's go deep.
Saturn says, yeah, you've putin the work, you've put in the
(16:46):
time, let's make it super solid.
So this is a time when we mightsee relationships not only
getting very, very deep butgetting more serious or solid,
meaning people makingcommitments to things like in a
job, signing the contract,putting a ring on it if that's
your thing, or renewing yourvows, or moving in together,
(17:08):
buying your first house, evenyou know.
It's that thing about reallysetting the structure in place
and, yeah, just bringing aseriousness to whatever this
Venus topic is that you'redealing with.
And then we've got that betterside of Neptune coming in, who
(17:29):
is dreams and imagination andfantasy.
So we've got Neptune sayingdream your dream.
So we've got Neptune sayingdream your dream.
And Saturn saying and make itso.
And Venus saying and let's doit with love and nurturing and
let's go really deep, let's feelinto this.
How good is that everyone?
(17:51):
How good is that?
So, whether you're deepeningyour relationship with your
poodle or your mother or yourlover or your manuscript, I
think this is going to be sogreat.
Just have the patience to startthis week.
A little slow, right, just alittle slow.
(18:14):
That's all I got to say I hopethis was helpful.
I skipped that whole part atthe beginning which is like
thank you for being here.
So now I will just say thankyou for staying here.
Please do me a solid and, like,leave a good rating.
Share the podcast.
I would be so, so grateful.
And, yeah, I always hope thatwhat I share with you is helpful
(18:36):
.
I'll be coming in with a bonusepisode on Lionsgate, yeah, and
until next week, go out andseize the energies of the stars.
This is my wish for you always,and until I'm back on here.
Bye, thank you.
