Chiron Turns Retrograde

Buckle up, Taurus, as Chiron, the wounded healer, who’s been with you since June, is going retrograde. Chiron digs deep into our most hidden corners; your wounds are being poked right now. You’ve been reevaluating your identity and questioning everything. The more honest you are, and the more you look your wounds in the eye, the greater the healing will be. There’s a strong possibility that a karmic connection from your past gets in touch, which drags up uncomfortable feelings. By the end of the month, you will view the relationship with fresh eyes and, hopefully, a sense of relief.

Venus in Libra

Venus, your ruler, always gives you clear advice and magnetism. Venus moves into Libra on the 6th, entering your health and well-being zone. It’s asking, what are you devoted to, and how do you express your devotion? How good are you at taking care of yourself? As cosy as it is to treat yourself to your favourite snacks while bingeing podcasts, Venus is asking for balance: self-care, with a dose of time out to gather your thoughts.

Take yourself out for a date, immerse yourself in nature and cast your mind back to the wholesome things you enjoy. If you do that, you’ll be instantly recharged. Venus is also super active, connecting to Pluto, Neptune and wild card Uranus. It’s all part of the soul audit you’re going through. Yes, it’s a surprisingly unusual ride, but it peaks in your favour on the 17th with a sextile to Jupiter, the planet of good fortune. Think about what you want to explore and expand.

Eclipse Season

It’s eclipse season, with a solar eclipse in Leo on the 12th. Eclipses leave us in the dark, then pull back the curtain for a reveal we don’t expect. With the eclipse in your home and family space, whatever you’ve been hiding in that area comes to the surface. Expect changes and reshuffles. The lunar eclipse, on the other hand, is helping you reimagine friendships and group connections. It’s time to put yourself out there, launch the project, hold the talk and show off your wares! Publishing, group chats and reflecting on what you thought you wanted to manifest are also highlighted. Your experience in all these areas will be radically different in six months’ time. We end the month on a high as Jupiter trines Saturn. Whatever you truly commit to has permission to be a success now.

In a Nutshell

It’s a big month. Chiron turns retrograde in Taurus on the 3rd, poking at old wounds around identity and worth, so honesty is the way through. Venus moves into Libra on the 6th, asking you to balance self-care with real rest. Mercury enters Leo on the 9th, then conjuncts Jupiter on the 15th for a burst of bold ideas. The solar eclipse in Leo on the 12th shakes up home and family, and Venus sextiles Jupiter on the 17th for a lucky boost. The lunar eclipse in Pisces on the 28th reshuffles friendships and group plans, and we close the month strong as Jupiter trines Saturn on the 31st, rewarding whatever you’ve truly committed to.
