August 7 - August 13, 2017
As much as last week's lunar eclipse made it all about your relationships, this week has the focus firmly back onto romantic matters. This doesn't mean that relationship matters are forgotten, but anything triggered by last week's lunar eclipse has taken on a life of its own and will continue to play out. In short, it can wait, whereas romance and a sense of romantic nostalgia in particular can't. The romantic urgency comes from the fact that Saturn's direct turn in your romantic sector later next week, will bring his last retrograde phase here for another 28 years, to a close. Yet as Saturn spends his last full week in retrograde motion in your romantic sector Venus, planet of love is also spending her last full week in a nostalgic part of your chart. Due to return to Leo on the same day that Saturn turns direct, Venus is involved in making this nostalgic trip down love's memory lane a chance to prepare for the major turnaround ahead.
