Venus Retrograde Reflections: Love, Money & Self-Worth

On March 2nd, Venus, the planets of Love, Money & Self-Worth, will turn retrograde.

When Venus moves backwards, it carries a message of inner reflection, reassessment and re-evaluation in those areas of our lives.

It says:

HEY YOU! Before you keep moving forward in your journey, you need to take a second look at a few things.

A lot of this is, of course, in our romantic unions and dating life. But even though loving others is an essential part of our worlds, the most important relationship we’ll ever have is the one we have with ourselves. So this is a great time to strengthen our self-worth & reconnect with our passions, hobbies, and creativity.

Venus Retrograde Asks:

Are you satisfied with yourself?

Do you feel fulfilled?

Are you spending enough time doing things that give you joy?

When you look at yourself in the mirror, do you feel beautiful?

Do you appreciate yourself?

Do you love all parts of you?

Or are you often overindulgent and prone to excesses?

Do you love living in your body?

Do you have a good relationship with food?

If the answer to any of these questions is no, then what are you going to do about it?

Venus calls us back to peace, love & harmony, and that has to start, first and foremost, within ourselves. If you feel like there’s any sort of internal war, that needs to be addressed first. Otherwise it will affect everything else in your life, including the people you cherish the most.

Now what about your love life? - asks sneaky Venus

If you are single:

What do you truly desire in love and relationships?

What kind of partner is a good fit for you?

What mistakes and patterns from the past you don’t want to bring forward?

If you are coupled:

Are you satisfied in your relationships?

Do you feel valued & appreciated? And do you value & appreciate your partner?

Is the give & take well balanced in your exchanges with others?

Are you always giving too much? Or are you overly self focused?

Are you listening to their needs and stories? 
Are they listening to yours?

If you need the extra help & desire to understand your connection and relationship with your significant other at a more profound level, I’m offering 20% discount in synastry readings during this retrograde period.

Synastry allows us to better understand the connection and relationship between two people, identify affinities and compatibilities, including the areas of greatest difficulty, the love language of each person, how to collaborate with the growth of the other and how to strengthen ties.

And don’t forget about money, honey!

Do you feel valued in your work?

Are you satisfied with the way you’re generating money?

How about your financial habits and spending patterns?

How’s your relationships with money?

There’s a direct relationship between the way you value yourself & the way you relate to money - whispers Venus

And if you know the answers to these questions, but feel unsure of what the best strategy is to remedy things moving forward, don’t despair. So much is revealed in your natal chart. It holds the keys. It’s your personal map for this lifetime.

And lastly, things to Avoid During Venus Retrograde:

🚫 Big Relationship Decisions: This period is great for reassessing, reviewing, and refining, but try to save the big moves for later. Use this time to have effective conversations and re-align things in your relationships, including love life & business partnerships.

🚫 Large Financial Investments: Best for paying off old debts and for resolving financial matters from the past. If a deal is unavoidable, be extra cautious - reviewevery detail and expect possible revisions later.

🚫 Major Beauty Changes: Even though this can be a great time to change your look and do something different, it’s best to avoid anything too drastic that you might regret later when Venus turns direct.

PS: If people from your past  suddenly resurface, this could indicate some unfinished business. This doesn’t mean that you need to get back together or rekindle things, but it could simply be that there’s some sort of re-evaluation that needs to take place.

So go back to the past. Go back to the feelings, the memories.

Track the patterns. Acknowledge your growth since then.

Reassess if you are repeating the same mistakes.

See if there’s anything that needs to change.

Never forget that cosmic stardust perfectly aligned to create YOU!

And you are allowed to be a beautiful masterpiece & a work in progress at the same time.
