VENUS RETROGRADE! we love her, we hate her, we must learn her lessons. venus goes retrograde on March 1st, 2025 at 4:36 pm PST // 7:36 pm EST. what does this mean? a venus retrograde is a time for us to review the ways in which we are initiating connections and handling finances, and is also a time for us to reconfigure the ways we are engaging in venus's themes, which are love, money, value, pleasure, connection, luxury, attraction, desire, and creativity. with this venus retrograde beginning at 11° aries and traveling back to 24° pisces, we are being reminded of the power behind stillness and are encouraged to review how we are pursuing venus's themes, as her time in aries will likely reveal to us how we've become impulsive, urgent, and overly active in the matters of the heart. this may be a time in which romantic connections are in for a bit of turbulence, and while not everyone's ex will come back, it's possible that some will reach out (this is not a go ahead to get back together, but do embrace any organic interactions that arise, as they may reveal important truths). this is a good time for us to ask ourselves how we have perhaps deceived ourselves when it comes to our perception of our magnetism and attractiveness. we may be reminded that it is not our job to chase after the things we desire, rather, we are advised to sit in a place of empowerment and embody our power with confidence, believing that we can draw all that is meant for us when we truly believe in our alignment with it. this retrograde encourages us to rekindle self love and our relationship with the universe, and may ask us to take romantic connections with others and attachment to money off the table for a bit. this will also be reminding us that love is not a competitive matter, and we cannot force our hand in the creation of harmony. this retrograde is about being honest with ourselves about what our individual needs are and what we need to receive from others to feel loved and supported, but it's also asking us to differentiate the difference between necessary sacrifice and over-accommodation in partnership. we may be realizing that we've approached previous or existing relationships with the mentality of "i can be what they need," but this retrograde reminds us that this isn't a matter of *can* you be what they need, it's a matter of *are* you naturally cohesive with one another's lives. if you find that you don't fundamentally align with each other, this retrograde reminds us that we don't have to take that as a personal failure—it is not a reflection of our value or capability as a partner. this is about acknowledging that true love does not require excess force to maintain. more to come....
