Venus: The Goddess of Love, Beauty, and Abundance

venus

In astrology, Venus is the planet of love, beauty, values, and pleasure. Often referred to as the “Goddess of Love,” it rules how we form connections, what we find aesthetically pleasing, and how we attract abundance into our lives. It governs our desires, our sense of self-worth, and our capacity for harmonious relationships.

This isn’t about grand ambitions or fate; it’s about the gentle art of living beautifully. It determines your unique style of expressing affection, your personal taste in art and décor, and how you experience joy and comfort. From the passions you pursue to the way you approach financial matters, it is at play, shaping your pursuit of pleasure and your ability to attract what you truly value.

Venus Retrograde: A Time for Re-evaluation

Periodically, it appears to move backward in the sky, a phenomenon known as Venus Retrograde. While often sensationalized, astrologically, this period is generally seen as a time for:

  • Re-evaluating and Reviewing: Perfect for reassessing relationships, personal values, financial habits, and what truly brings you pleasure.
  • Re-connecting: Ideal for revisiting past relationships (platonic or romantic) for closure or a new perspective, or rediscovering your own self-worth.
  • Reconsidering Aesthetic Choices: There can be a tendency to rethink personal style, home decor, or artistic projects. Avoid major makeovers or significant purchases.
 

It’s not a time to fear, but rather to slow down, reflect, and consciously review areas governed by Venus.

Retrograde Dates 2025:

  • 1 March – 12 April

But what if we told you it doesn’t have to be that way? What if this seemingly disruptive period could actually be a powerful opportunity to strengthen your relationships and foster deeper connections? It’s time to shift from passively enduring the retrograde to actively harnessing its energy.
