I’ve been very remiss with following transits over the past few months but was just alerted when listening to a video by James Van Praague that four planets are now ‘retrograde’ including Venus and Venus retrogrades have a lot to teach us about building an inner sense of value, boundaries and self love… The tendency with Venus retrograde is to be denied some form of connection ‘out there’ or to face roadblocks that bring up hidden relationships issues and wounds from the past for review…this all happens so we can review how we give and receive love both inwardly and outwardly.. If you feel neglected during the next four weeks (Venus is retrograde for 6 weeks all up but we are two weeks into the transit now,) then its time to see how you may be contributing to this.. it may be time to let go of someone or set boundaries or time to care for your own heart better or address that pain that holds you back.
An interesting fact is that during such retrogrades PAST LOVERS OFTEN GET IN TOUCH.. OH WOW THIS HAPPENED FOR ME TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN IT ALL STARTED. My experience is that astrology works, its not about predetermination but about self knowledge about who we are and how and why we operate as we do.. So if you find yourself thinking a lot about past loves gone wrong around this time it may be a time for inner work and connection.. ended relationships do live on inside of us and it is never too late to face and address past wounds.
The following link addresses all four planets (not just Venus) and I hope it resonates for you.
