Venus Retrograde
Venus like
all planets when retrograde appears to be going backwards. It is of course an optical illusion but in
astrology that illusion kicks butts.
Let’s take a moment and remember the three weeks of Mercury retrograde
in May and June. There is not enough
vodka in the world to blot out that three-week period in my mind. Anyway, Venus retrogrades last around five
weeks and they only happen about every 18 months. Our
last Venus Rx was December 2013/January 2014 in Capricorn. Take a moment and think back what was going
on with you at that time.
Venus
speaks to what we value. The reason why Venus
is the planet of love, beauty and money is not because it is about love, beauty
or money, it is because Venus is about what we VALUE. For most of the world Beauty, Love and Money
are highly valued. It is very
interesting that Venus does not begin her retrograde at 29 degrees Leo but
instead it the retrograde kicks off at Zero Virgo. Virgo, which is a way different energy. Mega Way different. Here’s the deal, if you have a daily calendar
that is in conflict with what you value, or what you truly love get out of the
way and watch what comes up. Virgo
looks at our daily life. Our vitamins,
our exercise, our work, our calendar, our appointments, our daily health and included
in that is how we love and are loved daily.
It is all up for assessment. Not
little boy, training wheels assessment but instead big ass ‘I mean business’ assessment. Why
is it big ass? Because during Venus
retrograde there will be interactions with Jupiter, Uranus, Mars and then Venus
goes back and hits them a second time.
Yeah, she is getting our attention.
And of course the Saturn Venus square brings out insecurities. How does your self-esteem vibrate when your
money and your love is shaky? Are you
valuable to the world if your love life sucks?
Are you valuable to the world if your money is lame? Are you valuable to the world if your
creativity is stuck? Are you valuable to
the world if your beauty feels off? If
no, why? What is keeping you from living your inner
joy? Take the Venus retrograde to fix the misguidedness you have about your
value. Or maybe it is the value of your
partners? Maybe you are hanging on to
someone for all the wrong reasons. Maybe
you are staying out of relationships for all the wrong reason. Maybe you have put a partner on a
pedestal? Should they be there? Maybe your love life is directly related to
some bump in childhood. Are you ready
to have Saturn help fix those bumps? Do
you see why you need to look back at your roots?
For five weeks we will be
pondering:
What do
you value? How do you value it? How do you value it every day? How are you being valued? How are you being valued every day? Where are you being OCD? (Virgo) Where are you being dramatic? (Leo) How are others’ nervousness (Virgo) getting
in your way of being valued? How are
others’ drama (Leo) getting in the way of you being valued? Are you giving more than you are
getting? Or are you taking more than
you are giving?
How is
pride getting in the way of your daily life (Leo & Virgo)? How is ego showing up daily? Is that a good thing? How is your love brave? How
are you giving away your strength in your daily life (Leo/Virgo)? There will be some of us who will assess everything
and what to immediately jettison someone or somethings. Sure.
I get it. And you may also want to wait on some things
until after the Venus Rx concludes. There
is a lot to be learned by all of us for the next five weeks. And watch what comes up in the news about
love, money, pride, ego, nervousness and health.
Put
these dates on your radar:
On June 21 Venus went into its
shadow (14
Leo 23) – We will revisit some of the stuff that came up after this date.
On July 25 Venus stations RX (0 Virgo 46) – We are on Value Patrol. Especially what we value in our daily
activities.
On July 31 Venus returns to Leo (during a full moon no less)
More Value patrol especially about unbridled love versus ego.
On Sept 6 Venus stations direct 14 Leo 23 – Oh, boy what have
we learned? And how do we apply it?
On October 8 Venus returns to
Virgo –what is
my daily life looking like now?
On October 9 Venus exits its
shadow (0
Virgo 46) –Phew, how is my life different now than it was on June 21st?

Wonderful. I am in the process of making big life changes and when that starts happening I always head over here to see what is shaking things up. I am in the process of looking for a new therapist, researching weight loss surgery, and moving away from corporate life (moving from full time to part time) because I found myself living a life I don't believe in. The transition should be in full swing and by Sept or October I will be making half what I am now, working half the hours I work now and hopefully spending the rest of my energy on rest and creative endeavors.
