Venus Retrograde – An Underworld Journey

“I did think, let’s go about this slowly.
This is important…
We should take
small thoughtful steps.” Mary Oliver

“Street choir sing me a song for a new day.” Van Morrison

Venus is slowing down now to station retrograde on Saturday July 22. It’s always wise for two or three days before a planetary station and a few days after, to be open to intuitions or messages that may surface.

Venus is the planet related to what we put value on in our lives and governs areas such as self esteem, self care, intimacy, beauty, desire and money.

In many ways a retrograde period is like an underworld journey when we can come to see  more clearly the underlying patterns related to these areas of life in order facilitate positive change and personal evolution.   The retrograde period will last through September 3.

Uranus is now squaring Venus indicating a good time to allow yourself the freedom to entertain ideas through an innovative lens.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is, “Daybreak-the luminescense of dawn in the eastern sky.”
