Every 18 months or so, our celestial Goddess of Love, Venus, appears to slow down, halt, and then move backward in the sky. This astronomical phenomenon, known as Venus Retrograde, is a powerful astrological period that invites us to pause, reflect, and re-evaluate everything Venus governs: our relationships, our values, our finances, and our sense of beauty and self-worth.
Think of Venus Retrograde not as a time for doom and gloom, but as a cosmic invitation for a deep internal review. It’s a period where past relationships might resurface, old patterns in love become apparent, or our financial habits come under scrutiny. It’s less about initiating new connections or grand purchases, and more about reconnecting with what truly matters, re-evaluating our desires, and redefining our worth.
During Venus Retrograde, you might experience:
- Relationship Re-evaluation: Old flames or past relationship issues may re-emerge, prompting you to gain closure or new perspectives. It’s a time to clarify what you truly need and give in partnership.
- Shifting Values: Your desires and priorities around money, possessions, and pleasure might change. What once felt important may now seem less so, as you realign with your authentic self.
- Self-Worth & Beauty: A period for inner work on self-love, personal aesthetics, and how you truly feel about yourself, independent of external validation.
- Creative Blocks or Reworking: Artistic endeavors might feel stalled, or you might find yourself revisiting old creative projects with fresh eyes.
Rather than fighting the current, embrace this introspective period. Use Venus Retrograde to reflect, release, and recalibrate your heart’s compass. It’s an invaluable time for healing old wounds, clarifying what you truly value, and strengthening your relationship with yourself. When Venus moves direct again, you’ll emerge with greater clarity, deeper self-awareness, and a more authentic approach to love and attraction.
