“We need boundaries and limits to be clear in our intention for our lives. It doesn’t serve anyone when we are without boundaries because without them, we attract people and situations from our fears, rather than from our highest energies.” J Hoffman

This is the final week of July and it is going to be another strong week for us. Venus is opposite Pluto and square Uranus, activating the Uranus/Pluto square. While we like to think of Venus as the goddess of love and emanating sweetness and light, this is not that kind of energy.
