“We have no art. We simply do everything as beautifully as we can.” Balinese saying
“Venus doesn’t have hobbies, she has passions. Our attractions are our primary clues as to how we can make a unique contribution to the world.” Caroline W. Casey
Venus stations retrograde today – March 1, 2025 at 10 degrees of Aries. The retrograde transit will last through April 12 when she will station direct at 24 Pisces.
Retrograde transits give us a natural time to review , reflect and to entertain new ideas and possibilities. We are the midst of three retrograde transits – the recent Mars retrograde – (December 5 2024 -February 23, 2025), the Venus retrograde -March 1 – mid April) and the Mercury retrograde (March 15 -April 7.)
The Venus retrograde bodes well for reviewing budgets and financial plans. Because Venus rules beauty it is a good time for home renovation and redecorating. Also on a personal level, for creating a new self image with wardrobe, makeup etc.
Past lovers and friends may reappear under this influence. There may be karmic circumstances that arise that offer the opportunity to go through an old situation in a new way.
There can be frustration with the retrograde occuring in Aries – the sign that loves to take action.
In general, though, it is a time through mid- April for review and reconsideration.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A teacher gives new symbolic forms to traditional images.”
