A warm hello.
The planet Venus has moved into Leo, where it will stay there until Sept. 5th.
This is a warm, demonstrative energy, passionate and determined – you’ll feel a fresh determination and resolve to move forward with issues you feel strong about or a mission of the heart.  
Watch out for a fine-line - pushing too hard will step on toes.   You’ll need to intuit this, how far to go, and coming from your higher self, which will offer a bigger perspective, will make this easier.
Wishing you joy,
Karen

Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune plus the dwarf planet Pluto are all retrograde at the moment.

The potential to move forward will be there but it will be up to us to rethink our tactics and try a new approach.
Wishing you joy,
Karen.

Wishing you joy,
Karen
