…and back into Leo

Venus retrograde in Leo revisits romance, pleasure and pride. Past lovers resurface, creative passions demand another look, and questions of being admired versus being loved come up. Traditionally a poor time for dramatic makeovers and a good one for renewing affection that has gone quiet.

It begins in Leo season and ends in Virgo season.

Gap across 1983

3.1 years between the two — long enough for a whole calendar year to fall inside it with nothing to report.
