Are you looking for a new creative outlet or source of inspiration? Try to play to the inherent strengths of your star sign and consider these ideas for future projects.

Aries

Aries are fearless and aren’t afraid to show the reality of things. For a daring and haunting piece, consider incorporating a faux skeleton, an X-ray or patient image, or an anatomy diagram to suggest the underlying connections that make us all human.

Taurus

Taurus are driven and determined. They won’t hesitate to tackle difficult or intimidating projects, so go big and bold! Consider incorporating large-scale sculptures or mixed media – choose a project that will challenge you to push your limits.

Gemini

Gemini draw inspiration from the coexistence of opposing ideas. Consider projects that draw attention to the dual nature of something or even projects that call out the hypocrisy of issues that are important to you.

Cancer

Cancers have a remarkable ability to inspire unity and teamwork. Take on collaborative projects that involve working with others, such as performance art, large installations, or mixed-media pieces.

Leo

Leos are passionate and fiery. Choose projects that align with ideas that you care deeply about and media that can move others to experience your passion. Your inner fire will lend its unique light to anything you do.

Virgo

Virgos tend to struggle with being too critical of themselves. Challenge this tendency by choosing a project that takes you outside of your comfort zone, such as working with different materials or approaching a new idea.

Libra

Libras are masters of balance, which is one of the first principles of art and design. Draw inspiration from balancing opposing ideals or showcasing overlooked balances that already exist.

Scorpio

Scorpios often encounter struggles – and triumph over them. Find inspiration in these struggles and in overcoming them. Alternatively, try struggling with new ideas, methods, or materials. Push old boundaries. You’ll be pleased with the outcome.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius are goal-orientated and tend to draw inspiration from achievements – no matter how big or small. Try creating a series of smaller projects that all work under a unifying idea.

Capricorn

Capricorns are willing to move mountains to reach their goals. Leverage this determination and strength of will to tackle difficult projects or illusive ideas. Your unique perspectives will tell stories no one else can.

Aquarius

Aquarius tend to be uniquely empathetic toward the feelings and struggles of others. This can be a great source of inspiration. Try being part of collaborative projects, especially those that amplify the voices of others.

Pisces

Pisces is the last sign in the astrological cycle. Pisces tend to be highly intuitive; find inspiration in projects that use this innate intuition to draw attention to details or problems that others may miss.

As of  September 3, 2023, Venus in retrograde is a thing of the past. The post-shadow period will last until October 7, 2023 and may continue some of the themes from the retrograde itself. Venus has been on a six-week retrograde  that saw her backtracking. This impacted everything from romance, legal issues, to works in the process. During this time, it’s been all but impossible to get a clear read on the work and people who’re right in front of you, but that trend comes to an end as Venus resumes forward motion.

Some consider retrogrades to be a time in the shadows, but it really is a moment to look into the innermost, darkest parts of ourselves. Venus retrograde reveals what is, and always has been, lurking behind the scenes, waiting to finally be addressed in confident and unmistakable ways, because Venus is all about passion.

Venus also rules over money and finances which means that themes of worth, value, spending, and financial habits rise to be addressed. In Venus retrogrades there are opportunities to revisit relationships, invite new realities, no matter how impossible they seem.

An abundance of blessings and opportunities will come out of nowhere and lead us down paths we never imagined, opening doors we never knew existed.
