Check out my YouTube video all about Venus retrograde here.

There is an urgent call for spiritual justice, a need to set the record straight, a powerful sign that says, it’s time to free ourselves from the ties that bind. But there is also a furious urge to get what we want, have it now, MAKE IT HAPPEN, force the issue. We may feel split between fighting with everything we have or hiding from a noisy world that wants too much from us.

Breathe. Stop. Listen with your heart.

How we respond when we don’t get what we want is a defining characteristic. Choose your battles carefully. Deep dive within to get to the root of the feeling. Pay attention to what feels uncomfortable, out of sorts, unbalanced – like the clash of unmatched colours in a room that calls for subtle tones. There is time enough to reconnect with the love you’ve tried to hide, the longing you tried to suppress. Truth isn’t always easy or comfortable, but it is the catalyst which will transform lead into gold. Now is not the time for make or break, do or die. Step back, Reflect. Harmony is found within. Learn to love your shadow.
