Venus Retrograde

Venus Retrograde in Capricorn

For now, topics of love, beauty, relationships, and finance are in a weakened state for the next 6 weeks. Meaning the typical ease you have within your love life has been put on hold. The energy flow for your finances might require more effort than before. Until January 29th, look at it as an opportunity to address any concerns and revise your personal narrative. What an awesome chance to reflect on love and relationships as well as your relationship with money.

Since all retrogrades bring a theme or reversal, revision, and second chances, why not  re-write or find closure? Every 18 months, Venus will retrograde in a different sign and element; yet it is all a part of a bigger cosmic cycle. It’s been 7 years since Venus was retrograde in Capricorn and it will not occur in this sign again until 2029. What themes are playing out in your love life and finances?

Boss Babe Energies

Where is Capricorn in your chart? This is the house where you have boss babe vibes. This is where you crave success with an emphasis on building, business, leadership, and attract goal oriented people. There is a deep desire to make money and build a financial foundation. During this retrograde, be aware of 2nd chances to make money. Any ideas, plans, or opportunities you missed out on?

Ruled by Saturn, it can bring practical, slow, and steady approach to achieving your ambitions. The oxymoron of it all is that Saturn is in Aquarius, which I interpret as bringing disruption and breaking away from the rules or standards. Ask yourself what rules or standards have you held onto involving love and money? Are they serving you? Think about it. Capricorn represents old fashioned traditions. What themes or family norms did you grow up with? Are you subconsciously playing them out? Is it serving your highest good or limiting you from the love and abundance your heart desires?

This Venus Retrograde goes deep. With a conjunction to Pluto, it can bring internal/external chaos; yet, it is meant to bring to your awareness where you can create change. 

Second Chances or Swipe Right

This is a classic time for where former lovers try to slip into your DM, text you or have a random encounter. Quite common. During a retrograde, be alert for those who randomly appear or re-appear from your past. This is the peak time for a former lover to seek you out, while it may be flattering and an ego trip, just be mindful of your expectations. Often love interests who arrive during Venus Retrograde disappear when goes direct or during another retro phase. It can also signal a time where new love interests are not 100% in harmony with your long-term happiness.
