Third Quarter in Leo: Today sees the retrograde of Venus begin. This is something the awesome Astrotwins from astrostyle.com wrote for me for a project we worked on together about Venus rx:
Every 18 months, Venus—the planet that rules love, harmony and compassion, reverses into retrograde motion. This six-week cycle can interrupt the flow of our most important ties or snap us out of a starry-eyed reverie. Since retrogrades rule the past, ex-lovers (and old issues) can resurface.
On a positive note, Venus retrograde could bring a refreshing pause to the dramatic scripts of our love stories, helping us step back and regain perspective. Are we truly writing ourselves into suitable romantic roles? And if not, what can we do to recast or change a less-than-stimulating plotline?
Whenever a planet goes retrograde, the directive is to turn inwards first: Examining our own motives, excavating our hidden desires, even exhuming a few past demons we haven’t fully dealt with. The prefix “re” is where the magic’s at: revive, reunite, repair, restore.
Stay tuned for more info as we move into the cycle!
