Venus, Uranus and Pluto

“Whose worldviews shape our own values and belief systems? Whose history and judgments do we live by? These are the critical questions thinking people must ask themselves again and again as they move through life.” Deborah Grenn- Scott

As Venus continues her retrograde journey it bodes well to revisit the assumptions behind the values we hold – values both personal and collective. Much of the paradigm shift which is in process now originates is in the realm of values and what values we choose to live by individually and as a small planet as we move forward.

Narcissus and the Venus Retrograde

Narcissus is the character in mythology who dissolved into his reflection in the water. Symbolically he chose to became his outer image rather than evolve or develop his soul yearnings or his authentic  sense of self. Under the influence of the Venus retrograde it bodes well to revisit and connect with what we experience as true abundance in our lives – not abundance as dictated by outer sources  – be they advertising, familial, social or peer pressures. Connecting with and experiencing the beauty of the trees as we pass by, the clouds, a thoughtfully prepared and presented meal, a beautiful painting or piece of music – is a good way to experience abundance in the present  in order to create a more meaningful connection to it in our everyday lives. This is a good exercise under the Venus retrograde (in influence thru the end of June)
