LEO: You have a reputation for being the “strong” friend, usually the person people come to when they need to borrow some optimism or strength. However, you may have been noticing that the same courtesy isn’t always returned when you ask for it. This Venus retrograde you are taking inventory of your friendships, your social circle, and the collective mission you stand for. As you start to feel your purpose growing, it may be time to admit the lack of compatibility between you and some of your pals. Your priorities have grown, and sometimes we don’t grow at the same pace as our friends. This doesn’t need to lead to a theatrical fall out- it can serve to give you more time to focus on your creative gifts and channel all that energy into making something new.
