Weekly Horoscope

LAYING TO REST AN OLD LOVE

Past loves are like ghosts in a ghost story. They keep coming back – in one form or another – rattling their chains and making a ruckus until we get up out of bed and hear them out. This is what you’ll experience this week when retrograde Venus conjoins the Sun in Leo on August 13th. Venus retrogrades often presage the return of an Ex. And if it isn’t your Ex exactly, then it will be someone who bears an uncanny resemblance or whose situation in life is eerily similar. Now loved ones and friends will advise you to steer clear – they don’t want to see you get hurt – but you know that it’s time to put things to rest. This could mean having the conversation you never had, coming clean about things you withheld, or maybe just offering a shoulder for this person to cry on before saying good-bye. Again. We don’t always get an opportunity to get closure on an old relationship, but the peace of mind and heart that you gain as a result is worth it.
