There’s an element of this Venus retrograde that’s a very public uncovering or revealing. Happening, as it does, in Leo — the Palace of the Sun — means that whatever the Rx brings up for you has a spotlight on it. But as with most things, the more you can lean into the energy in a way that’s productive for you, the better off you will be.
Next Thursday, there’s a good day for this type of exploration. It’s a day for “a woman to confess whatever she did.” Now, we know that the world of the Hygromanteia was kind of a sausage fest, and so it’s on us to jail break these old Grimoires in a way that better reflects the world we live in… and the world we want to live in. I interpret this day in several ways (depending on other influences) including: “to get someone to talk when they don’t want to,” “to find out what the heck is really going on,” “to uncover dirt on someone,” or — in this case — “to figure out what you really want.” So the women here is you and the confession is one that you make to yourself.
You are effectively putting that Leo spotlight on yourself and resolving to tell yourself the truth. This is HARD and doing it can definitely be considered magic. My recommendation was to try automatic writing (with a shoutout to Sphere + Sundry’s Quicksilver Tongue materia). But you can use whatever self-communication tool you have experience with.
The week also includes two additional days around desire working that you could use to create a power-house linked enchantment right in Venus Rx in Leo’s wheelhouse. Check out the monthly planner for the details.
A few relevant updates:
The August planner will be going live later today
I expanded my Modular Magical Framework course (free to Inner Circle members and S+ Client Community participants)
I am taking time away in August as part of my own Venus Rx remediation, but the week in magic posts will continue to roll…
This is a great interpretation. Jailbreaking spells in arcane tomes is one of my favorite tasks in magic.
