Once you know your Ascendant or Rising sign, then you can find the opposite astrology sign on your Descendant. 

The Descendant energies signify what you seek out in others through relationships, partnerships, and connections as they connect with your own energy. Then the energy becomes more specific as we look at the ruling planet and where it is placed in your chart. 

For example, if you have Libra Rising, then your Descendant is ruled by the energies of Aries. We'll be exploring more about what this means in your chart, including the importance of the ruling planet, Mars. We look at the aspects and expressions of your natal Mars to understand more about how your Descendant energies may be attracted to certain qualities in other people.

We'll look at each of the 12 Descendant astrology signs through this series of chart tutorial videos. 

I hope this helps you understand more about your chart!

New love, abundance, and creation cycles begin with the New Venus energy that is activated on August 13, 2023, when Venus retrograde is exactly conjunct the Sun at 20 deg Leo.

This energy closes a cycle that began in August 2015 (the last New Venus in Leo), as well as looking at what came to fruition during the Full Venus energy in August 2019. Powerful energy from the Sun in its ruling sign of Leo is invigorating Venus with new lightcodes, inspirations, self-worth, prosperity, and love connections.

Powerful soulmate connections, romantic relationships, and heart-based interactions will begin anew now, especially after the 8/8 Lion’s Gate Portal and the Leo New Moon on August 16. It’s a time to be very intentional with what you want to manifest and experience in this new cycle, especially as the energy will unfold over the next 8 years.

August begins and ends with 2 Super Full Moons, plus we’ll have 7 retrograde planets as the month closes out, so we’ll need to be adaptable and flexible, as well as willing to slow down and truly listen to what your energy is saying to you.

Many planets are in Earth signs right now, bringing our attention to our physical world, responsibilities, and priorities. Mercury stations retrograde on August 23, the same day the Sun enters Virgo, and creates an exciting trine to Uranus in Taurus which also stations retrograde on August 28.

Venus retrograde is in effect all of August, too, so allow yourself to retract as needed and make time to hear your heart’s messages more.

The 2023 Lion’s Gate Portal is an evolutionary energy as we receive the high-vibrating power of Sirius, our Spiritual Sun, as it rises on the horizon and brings in cleansing power to our planet.

The portal opens the end of July until the middle of August as the Sun journeys through Leo, and expands our heart, desires, confidence, and courage to be our true selves.

With Venus retrograde in Leo, and a New Venus conjunction with the Sun on August 13, there is a stronger urge to move forward and take a risk based on what is coming through in your heart space. Heart healing and solar plexus expansion is streaming through to support what you want to build and experience in alignment with New Earth Consciousness.

Venus journeys through Leo for 4 months in 2023 due to her retrograde from July 22 to Sept 4, and she will have many significant aspects to other planets that will bring about changes, evolution, and release in money, relationships, friendships, creativity, and your heart’s desires.  

Venus in Leo highlights how you love and accept yourself – self-worth, creativity, personal expressions, confidence, strength – and how those qualities create what you want and desire in your world.
