🔮 Astrology of the Week: July 28 – August 3, 2025

“What is truly valuable will not stay buried.”

This week, Venus whispers through the emotional waters of Cancer after a cerebral stay in Gemini, while Mercury (still retrograde in Leo) meets the Sun in a moment of radiant clarity. Meanwhile, Mars enters Virgo and immediately opposes Saturn in Pisces—a cosmic friction point between action and surrender, detail and dissolution.

There’s a powerful re-visioning underway. This is a week of realignment, especially around:

• How we act on our values (Mars in Virgo)

• What we prioritize in love, creativity, and security (Venus in Cancer)

• What truths from the past need revisiting, rewording, or releasing (Mercury retrograde + cazimi)

🌟 Venus and The Return of What Matters

For me personally, Venus’s journey has cracked open a portal to the past. I recently picked up The Celestine Prophecy—a book I devoured 20 years ago—and I’m stunned by how relevant it feels today. Not just in content, but in context.

Venus governs our values, our worth, and what we’re willing to nurture. And this week, I’ve been reflecting on the value systems that once formed in trauma but are now being rewritten with clarity and compassion.

Through trial and error (and more error), I’ve realized that my greatest strength isn’t in getting it “right,” but in having the resilience to fail fast, fail forward, and keep creating. The past two years—especially after leaving a food and beverage career that was misaligned with my sobriety and nervous system—have been nothing short of a cosmic bootcamp in becoming.

Venus is showing me that value doesn’t mean outcome. It means persistence. It means truth. It means revisiting old stories with new eyes and reclaiming your voice—even if it shakes.

🪐 Major Transits This Week

🧭 Navigation Tips:

• Don’t push—refine. Mars-Saturn will test how you deal with delays or criticism. Use Virgo’s detail-orientation to improve systems rather than force outcomes.

• Let old wisdom resurface. Mercury cazimi brings gold from the past—reconnect with teachings, books, or conversations that once lit your fire.

• Nurture what’s real. Venus in Cancer invites cozy connection, emotional truth-telling, and redefining what “home” means inside and out.

The book you loved. The values you swore by. The version of yourself that felt truest.

Venus doesn’t demand perfection—she asks for honesty.
Mars wants progress—but Saturn insists on structure.
Mercury retrograde reminds us: sometimes the map is written in reverse.

Revisit, refine, recommit.
You’re not starting over.
You’re starting wiser.
