Seeing the Truth • Venus Retrograde in Scorpio (10/5 – 11/15)
Venus Retrograde period is going to be from October 5th through November 15th, 2018. Venus is currently transiting the deep and intense sign of Scorpio and will later back track into harmonious Libra, Venus’s home sign.
Whenever a planet goes retrograde all of the energies and themes the planet represents gets turned inward and initiates a time of reflection and re-examination. Scorpio is giving us supernatural x-ray vision to help us see beyond what we have been missing in the realms of relationships (with others and yourself), our inner passions and desires, our finances and lifestyle.
Venus is known as the planet of love and beauty. She represents the divine feminine, and signifies our attracting and creative abilities, as well as our ability to receive. Think of her as the Queen in the skies only wanting, desiring — most importantly — deserving only the best. She wants to live lavishly, comfortably, to entertain, and be entertained. She is gifted and appreciative of the arts and the finer things. Basically, she’s about that life! She rules with compassion, fairness and seeks to manifest her desires, whether that be money, true love, passionate romance and a blessed life.
Venus going retrograde in the sign of Scorpio is going to have us very deeply and intensely re-examine and reflect these areas of our lives. Which means as long as you have no issues in any of the areas that are Venisuan domain consider yourself safe. But like the rest of humanity – who’s life isn’t filled with a bit of complexity?
“Let me upgrade you.”
– VenusI like to think of Retrograde periods as upgrade periods. We are upgraded because the mind shifts that occur and the restructuring that often follows is for our greatest good in the long run, so we can live a more fruitful and aligned life.
A Scorpio kind of Retrograde
Scorpio is a very deep, intense and intuitive sign, nothing superficial or basic will do! We want to understand things fuller, we want to examine at the root, we want to go deeper, we want whats real and authentic and see beyond surface in all the areas in our lives that are not serving us or truly fulfilling us. Areas that need adjustments, things we have ignored or let slide up until now will painstakingly need to be addressed. These conversations with others (and ourselves) will lead us to more deeper passionate relationships and love and at the same time it could lead us to end situations which were long over due to be purged from our lives. Scorpio’s are equally cutthroat as they are intuitive, they have a sixth sense for whats not said and can read between the lines like no other. Venus is going to be in harmonious aspect with Neptune so the investigative and intuitive nature is going to be on 100 this period.Relationships & Love
Relationships in your life that you have been ignoring the ugly truth about, that deep down you know need re-adjusting or even eliminating will become difficult to avoid any longer. The re-evaluation or restructuring of these relationships can cause some tension and could go one of two ways. You may find that these hard but necessary conversations either will strengthen and intensify your love or lead you to purify your space of a damaging and negative situation. Either outcome, know that this retrograde period is to help you to achieve harmony and balance in your life and ultimately bring you closer to what you truly desire.Living your best life!
Venus has a lot to do with our money, and our ability to attract and manifest the life we truly desire. This period may cause you rethink plans for new (or old) money making ventures, or better ways to save or build your pocketbook. Passions may be re-ignited that you have neglected or placed on hold. Scorpio and 8th house energy is about shared money and resources – perhaps re-thinking the business loan or business plan that can help attract the money and life you ultimately desire will be in store. Venus is currently in harsh aspect to Mars which can make us impulsive and impatient so I would say to spend the necessary time evaluating these ideas and plans but not rush into anything over night. This is the time to ponder and evaluate the best plan going forward so that in November you will be prepared to implement the new ideas you have concluded to. Venus is also about aligning yourself with the life you truly desire in order to be your most fulfilled, satisfied and empowered self. Scorpio energy is about self preservation. Questions to ask yourself may be: – How can I move closer to my highest self and live my best life? Am I on this path now?Check in with yourself.
A major theme of Venus is relationships, but the most important relationship we have is the one with ourselves! What everything comes down to is really how we are loving ourselves, creating the best lives for ourselves and giving us the best that we can and deserve. Don’t forget to take the time to appreciate all of your talents and acknowledge your self worth this retro period. Ask yourself: – What is the relationship like with myself? – Do I give myself creative outlets and the freedom to be me? – Do I empower myself to make my dreams possible? – Am I living out the greatest example to others on how to love, care and treat me? – What are the things I value in life? Am I on the path to achieving them? Whatever challenges you face this period remember to be true to yourself. This Venus retrograde period has the potential to be a very transformative experience that has the potential to move more in alignment with your higher self and purpose.Comments are closed
