This Week Fate Has Shuffled the Cards and Karma Is in the Air

Universal- Let’s dive into the mystical realm of the stars, where the celestial energies have been swirling since last week. Venus Retrograde in Leo takes the spotlight, inviting us to embark on a heartfelt journey of self-reflection and self-love. Which sweetest taboos do we allow ourselves and others to indulge in? And why are we deeply attracted to certain taboos? It’s time to embrace our true values and desires, even if it means prioritising self-care and taking a little “me time.” Remember, when we honour our authentic needs, love has a sneaky way of returning even stronger.

Ex-lovers may re-enter the scene… “Is it a crime?… that I still want you,… and I want you to want me, too?” Let’s try to understand why certain people come back into our lives. Have we watched too much dramatic TV and normalised that life-imitating-art cinematic experience that makes us feel alive in our love encounters, or do we have to actually work on issues we are projecting onto others and vice-versa? We are soldiers of love and love is stronger than pride.

Last week, the cosmic nodes took a daring leap into Aries and Libra, igniting a cosmic dance between individuality and partnership. The North Node in Aries urges us to unleash our inner uniqueness and shine as radiant individuals. Embrace your passions, follow your dreams, and let your spirit soar! Meanwhile, the South Node in Libra whispers a gentle reminder to seek balance within relationships and avoid falling into codependency.

We’ve still got some celestial turbulence heading our way! Pretty much the whole week, Pluto squares off with the dragon’s head aka. the North Node in Aries. Gear yourselves up for a cosmic transformation in your life’s path. It might feel like you’re being swirled around, pushed, and pulled. Fear not, for fate has shuffled the cards, and karma is in the air. Even if it seems a tad extreme and dark, trust that you’re being nudged onto the right track. Embrace the whirlwind and let it guide you to your smooth operator.

On Thursday, get ready for a surge in conversations about relationships as Venus Retrograde meets Mercury in a passionate embrace (Cazimi) in the golden heart constellation of Leo. Whether you’re sharing your heart’s desires, discussing patterns from the past, or diving deep into the realms of self-love, the cosmos wants you to engage in these soul-stirring discussions. ‘…If I tell you how I feel, will you keep bringing out the best in me…?’ We have all certainly experienced love that is everything but ordinary. If you find yourself without a cosmic confidant, don’t worry! Grab a pen and paper, pour your heart onto the page, and create an outline of your self-love journey. Explore how you’ve grown, how you’re navigating the themes of love, and envision the magnificent being you are becoming.

As we approach Friday, Mercury bids Leo farewell and gracefully glides into the realm of Virgo joining action planet Mars. Communication may become a little more (self)critical. Remember that perfection is an illusion, yet chasing it can propel us forward. It’s time to pay attention to the tiny details and perfect our processes. Mercury and Mars in the sign of the little helper, Virgo, encourages us to create meticulous to-do lists and organise our schedules. Let the magic of order and efficiency guide you to cosmic success. So, cherish theses days, embrace the transformative energy of Venus Retrograde, dance between individuality and partnership, and surrender to the cosmic whirlwind. Engage in heartfelt conversations about love, both with others and with yourself. And remember, perfection may elude us, but the pursuit of perfection can lead us on extraordinary journeys, as you navigate the cosmic seas of destiny.

May the stars illuminate your path on this diamond life and let’s move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy. May you find yourself, and always remember: your love is king
