Welcome everybody to the July meeting of the Denver Astrology group. If this is your first meeting,

we always meet on the second Saturday of, or second Sunday of each month, always from 2 to 4 p.m.

here at the Mercury Cafe. Over the past year, Rosalie has been helping to run the group and

managed the group. And right now, Ashley and Yelena are also starting to help as co-organizers

this month as well. So I wanted to thank them for their help because I've been busy running the

podcast and haven't been able to run the group as much over the past year. So at this meeting,

we're going to be doing something we've done a few times in the past, which is to share transit

stories of recent transits and how they've manifested in our lives. So this is something we started

doing a few years ago with eclipses because when eclipses happen, they bounce back and forth between

two houses in your chart over the course of a couple of year time span and sometimes the activation

of the topics associated with those houses is really vivid and really obvious in a person's life.

So this time, we're going to do a little bit more general of a transit sharing workshop where we're

going to ask people to share some stories of recent transits that are happening or that are

coming up in your life that you're kind of anticipating because there's been a lot of different

transits recently that have been pertinent in different people's lives in different ways.

So the primary one we're going to talk about I'm hoping is the Venus Retrograde, which is just

starting to get going this summer. We've already entered the shadow period for this retrograde

and Venus is actually going to station retrograde and start moving backwards in the order of degrees

in the sign of Leo starting on July 22nd. So today is what July 9th, so we're only a week or two

away from that really starting, but since it's already entered the range of degrees that it's

going to retrograde back to, for some people, these stories are already starting to come up and

they can already sort of see and start to anticipate what that retrograde is going to be about.
