Venus retrograde occurs every 18 months and it is special opening of a cosmic gateway. It has multiple layers to it, related to divine feminine, goddess connection, self-reflection, diving into the wisdom of your past relationships and untold love stories, creating inner space of self love, acceptance of who you are, your beauty and uniqueness.
In this time most souls are invited to look inward and understand how do you connect with your feminine energy? What lessons have you learnt from your past relationships or dream-loves? What has changed in you, how you are different now than before? What in your partnership has changed? Who is the closest person to you and why? How has the relationship with your mother has transformed, if so?
Venus in Scorpio
(3 October to 24 October retrograde)
This is amazing transit of Venus in retrograde motion which connects you with your deep intuition and psychic senses, with the astral world and many levels beyond the veil of this reality. Venus in water sign is related to the divine mother, primordial waters, the process of creation in the womb, connects you with the etheric levels of mermaids and water nymphs.
This is deeply spiritual transit that opens the doors of the underworld, so you can feel the other side in vivid dreams or psychic visions. You can be immersed in the rich world of the Astral fields, mermaids messages and discovering love stories from past lives.
This retrograde is wonderful for shadow work, self reflection and rituals with cutting cords with the past people and places that are not aligned with your beautiful present Self. This is a time to commune with the goddess – Innana, Isis, Lilith, Persephone...as any of them symbolises going into the underworld, inner transformation and realisation of the connection of the past.
As this is water sign of Scorpio, we need to slow down and take time, go inward, meditate, journal, create, connect with your Third eye. This is period of deep purification of the past, emerging from another side refreshed and rejuvenated. New energy is surging through you, your cells are vibrating in higher octaves, your etheric body is cleansed with blue and indigo water.
In this transit angels and mermaids are inviting you to meditate with crystals of Scorpio – black tourmaline, kyanite, Lapis Lazuli, Selenite.
You can tune into the powerful energy of your Sacral chakra and Third eye, they are connected with the infinity flow of light.
Do you use your intuition and in what ways?
How do you connect with the spiritual realms or your Ancestors?
This Venus can bring also painful memories from childhood love, childhood trauma, or lovers from the past who left scar in your heart. This can be also love that was only in the etheric levels, without having a physical expression. This is sign of depth and strong emotions.
Venus in Libra
(from 25 October to 13 November retrograde)
When the planet of beauty is in Libra you are in the realm of fairies, where you need to pause and create balance in yourself. You need to ask questions – what are the places of imbalance, negative emotions or anxiety that you didn’t overcome yet? How do you connect to your sexual feminine energy? How do you feel in your intimate relationship, do you have sacred union of souls with your partners?
And mostly, are you feeling self love, self appreciation and joy from being your true self without restrictions. This is transit of true Self-love and tapping into your creative energy. What is beautiful in your close relationships with others? What pushes you away?
In what areas you feel authentic, true and vulnerable?
Where do you invest your energy in? What are your personal values and do you live according to them?
Venus in Libra is in perfect flow , not fighting and not judging, it simply let all things to be felt, expressed, acknowledged. You are not who you used to be, but that`s how it works. You are your better self and you will be reborn as a woman after the Venus reaches the point of Sun, merging in the period between 14 October and 2 November.
The exact moment when the Venus conjunct the Sun (cazimi) is 24 October and after it she will be reborn with the new energy, a new 584 days cycle begins for the planet of beauty.
In the retrograde time of Venus you need to be very open and honest about your relationships, what is no longer working and where did you put too much energy without taking it back.
This Venus thrives in harmony and understanding of others and self, also it needs to be safe, secure in order to be vulnerable. This is deeply spiritual and feminine energy which opens your Sacral and Higher heart chakra with amazing pink-golden light.
To feel this energy more you can make a ritual lighting up 3 pink candles ,surround them with rose quartz, pink calcite, kunzite, and say the following affirmation:
“I am divine Love. I am divine harmony and Peace. All my parts are in harmony. I love myself now and always. I connect with my unique Divine feminine.”
Feel how these words resonate in your Heart, and Sacral chakra, then imagine beautiful pink lotus flower opening and above it the sacred Flower of life symbol in pink light. Feel the vibration of the Divine love inside you spreading through all your body, blood, cells, inner organs...feel it spread through your emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. You are one with the divine Love.
At this time you can write on paper questions to goddess Aphrodite, or write a wish you want to fulfil in your love life. Expect this to happen in the next 6 months.
