Because we are in a constant state of becoming, our needs(Venus) mirrored by our desires change. Venus retrograde is a time to reflect on what we need. During the retrograde, we become consciously aware of what we don’t need anymore, what is not working, and what and how these things are hindering our growth. Also, this growing awareness of new needs will emerge in our conscious awareness, and when Venus moves direct, these new needs, and the shedding of the old, will need action(Mars) in the physical.
While Venus Retrograde is a good time to tie up some karmic loose ends, it is not necessarily a good time to start something new related to the things of Venus. It’s not usually a tumultuous time, all else being equal, but it can be uncomfortable. This time, however, all things won’t be equal. During this Venus retrograde, we will also experience a Mercury retrograde, and Neptune and Saturn will change signs. Neptune being the big one here. We will likely be very different 6 weeks from now.
*A couple of things that I’ve noticed during Venus retrogrades, is that the beautiful Venus things in life can feel subdued. For example, food might not taste that great. You might have a hard time knowing what you even want to eat, what you want to wear, etc. We can also feel as though we are not going to get what we want in life. What we want can feel very far away. This won’t last! It’s simply the retrograde doing its thing, and asking us to go inside and listen🙏
