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)
