MONDAY MUSINGS: DOs and DONT’S DURING VENUS RETROGRADE – 13 MAY-25 JUNE.

Hi Guys,

By now you are all up to speed (pardon the planetary pun!) on Mercury Retrograde — the dos and don’ts. But how well do you know your Venus Retrograde? It’s a very important one, especially if you value Love and Money. And who doesn’t? One of the most common questions Astrologers are asked is “Tell me about my love life and my finances!” I’m telling you now ‘Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread’. True that. Especially during Venus Retro. The following is important information for everyone, especially those with Sun, Moon, Rising, or other planets in the sign of Libra or Taurus who both share the rulership of Venus.

Venus is the planet that governs our love life, and our assets. Many people know of its connection to love and beauty, but not to money and investments. So take heed! This is not a time to get too energetic about either! Remember — and it is important to remember this — Retrogrades are a time of reflection rather than action! The power of a particular planet, and in this case, Venus, is not up to par. It’s frazzled, lazy, tired, confused so why would you make important decisions when Venus is not her shining self? I certainly would not. Retrograde does not mean the planet is going backwards in the sky, it just means its pathway is temporarily disrupted. I reflect and listen to my inner wisdom at this time. I hope you will do the same. It’s only a few weeks, so I think it’s wise to defer gratification in matters of new love, beauty, and finances.

DOs and DON’Ts DURING VENUS RETROGRADE:

Don’t:

Make snappy decisions on Love or Finances!

Buy expensive beauty products (you may regret later). Cheap or familiar ones are ok.

Don’t change anything about your appearance — hair, plastic surgery, teeth — NADA! Wait!

Don’t begin new love relationships! (Love can be deceiving, weak, and fickle at this time.)

Don’t get married or engaged during Venus Retrograde. Unless you REALLY ARE 100% SURE! Wait, hold your horses on the carriage!

Don’t do any major home improvements at this time. Again, wait! Rather, plan and think it out carefully.

Don’t start a new company or sign any agreements at this time. Especially in the self-improvement industry.

Don’t go hog wild on investments. Employ caution and seek wisdom from a knowledgeable source.

Don’t invest in any expensive clothing or footwear. You may have buyer’s regret.

Don’t buy expensive jewellery, art, and certainly not a home! Wait! It’s only a few weeks to wait. Be patient!

Do:

Nurture yourself. Lather yourself with love, patience, and gentleness.

Tend to your Venus within!

This is a great time for Couples Counselling and working on existing relationships.

It’s a time to try and mend what’s hurting in yourself and others.

Wear Rose Quartz or keep a stone in your purse to remind yourself of the importance of self-love.

Wear pink if you can get away with it!

Take regular warm bubble baths and light scented rose candles. Rose petals in the bath would be nice!

Do a good clean out of your home. It’s a great time to get your House Beautiful in ship shape!

Same with your wardrobe!

Same with your body beautiful!

It’s a great time to build up your immune system with Tons of TLC! Good food, music, and exercise!

Just like our Mamma Earth is currently getting a terrific respite from toxicity, YOU too have the opportunity now in Venus Retrograde season to do the same for yourself. Please DO!! You really are worth it. The Powers that Be ‘Up Above’ are giving you this gift of time on a plate. Accept it! Accept yourself! Accept there is a time for everything! A right time and a wrong time…

Peace & Love!
