In this weekly podcast, depth psychotherapist and astrologer Shawna McGrath shares the astrology of this week from a psychological perspective.

This week's astrology of July 29th - August 4th brings Venus in Leo square Uranus in Taurus (honoring your need for divergence and spontaneous inspiration in relationships, beauty, and enjoyment). Venus in Leo will also trine Chiron in Aries to foster healing of vulnerabilities in this process. Then, a lot happens on Sunday! Venus moves into Virgo on Sunday 8/4 and will be there until 8/30 - this correlates to a relational focus on purpose and meaning in our relationships. Also on Sunday, the New Moon in Leo happens on 8/4 at 4:13am Pacific Time. This New Moon is a fresh start around giving and receiving love, affection, attention, and secure attachment. Themes around masking & performance vs. authenticity and true self may arise this week. Finally, Mercury will station retrograde on Sunday 8/4. This particular Mercury retrograde is a time period of contemplating how you want to bring new vitality and energy into your life by making unconventional shifts. Happy New Moon and wishing you a wonderful week! 🦋
