Venus retrograde May 13th-June 25th
As she transforms from an evening star into our morning star Venus begins her retrograde at 27.42 degrees in her own house of Taurus, affecting our relationships, luxuries, comforts and convenience. Retrograde cycles are a normal part of the planetary rhythms and for Venus this occurs about every 18 months. Venus is a benefic planet and its effects are not as heavy as Saturn or Mars and right now she is quite strong in her own house, indicating that she will help us a lot during these trying times.
Some of us may be struggling with profound restlessness, irritation, painful longings, or emotional wounds rising to the surface. Venus retrograde turns us more internal, more reflective which is a good thing. But the problem is even under the best of circumstances we only want to advance and move forward. Preferring not to deal with unresolved issues, unresolved conflicts, or things we’ve escaped in the past. Instead of fixing old problems we like to move on and create new problems, like dating the same guy in a new pair of pants. The beauty of our current circumstances is that we have nowhere to hide.
With all the extraordinary changes we are experiencing now, we get to look at the value in forming or keeping relationships that are truly genuine and trustworthy creating deeper connections to those we love.
As money, truth and relationships are resounding themes this month, we are reevaluating our budget and spending habits. Mars directs his energy from the sign of Aquarius onto Venus making us feel the pressure of haste. It reveals the weakness in our finances as Taurus and Venus both indicate money and finance a frustration with the lack of physical comfort and stability and the questioning of it all.
Retrograde Venus is essential now as it pushes us to speak up and confront the stressors we worked hard to bury, our past haunts us until we deal with it. Venus retrograde in Taurus shows that our values are shifting. Our partnership with nature is a key to moving forward as Venus in Taurus both highlight the importance of working in harmony with planet Earth.
The nakshatra Venus is operating under is Mrigashirsha until the 29th it indicates a diffused clarity the start of weaving things together, learning how we can be broad and not boxed in, not just in how we live but also how we think. How can we learn to not be timid and scattered to bring us together with a core commitment.
As she moves on to Rohini this indicates that there is a need for connection to create prosperity, bringing our attention and practical care to receive the reward our basic needs. We can become fixed on recreating our resources chasing them in an aggressive way.
As we get a glimmer of what could be shining through during these trying times, and we’re starting to think about how we can return to our lives and relationships with newfound wisdom, innovation, stillness, and understanding.
Look to the sky before sunrise and start to communicate with her. Treat people with kindness and be generous. Give the gift of being present with others during this time. Look into the eyes of others and open a field of compassion. We are learning a whole new way of union.
I send you lot of love and Luck with the retrograde of Venus
