On July 25, Venus, the planet of love and abundance, went retrograde until September 6. On July 26, Uranus, the planet of unexpected change and rebelliousness, also went retrograde until December 26.

Appreciate Circle
For those who do ritual and would like a new one, those who do not but would like to start or those who would like a different way to celebrate an occasion, I offer my Appreciation Circle.
