Venus retrograde 2018
Venus Retrograde is the MAIN astrological event of Fall 2018!
As I said at the beginning of the summer, "take a look around because things are going to look a lot different come September." Things already look different thanks to a summer of eclipses and a potent Mars Retrograde (ok, Mercury too), but the renovation is not over yet.
The next layer up for review begins now with Venus retrograde - highlighting our priorities, preferences, relationships, values, love, beauty and energetic investments. Mars and Venus together deal with our desires, priorities and preferences; what we want and how we go after it.
During this second half of 2018, WE ARE GETTING CLEAR on what we truly want. This is very important as we head into the next year. 2019/2020 place a HUGE emphasis on the Capricorn house in our charts, which is where we build important and long-lasting supportive structures in our lives. These personal planet retrogrades help us to get clear on what we WANT before we cement.
In the video above, we take a look at how these Mars and Venus retrogrades are intimately entwined, the basics of Venus Retrograde, as well as how it shows up in Scorpio and Libra - both personally and collectively.
