Venus went into what is called her retrograde cycle March 6 and will stay there till April 16. All retrogrades give us a chance to do a review, taking a look back at recent developments ruled by the retrograde planets. Mercury Retro gives a review of ideas and perceptions, while Venus Retro gives us a chance to appreciate what we’ve experienced regarding things and people.
Often Venus retrograde can bring memories of old hurts and past relationships that went in directions we didn’t expect. Venus retrograde can help us re-experience old wounds so we can free ourselves of subconscious patterns that seduce us into suffering. We have an opportunity to step out of old ignorance about what and who we love. We live in a world where people hurt each other sometimes but we do not have to “own” that hurt. Suffering is optional. What we need is love, compassion, self-respect and Venus helps us here, so it’s a really good time to see your therapist.
We are being shown how to transcend our wounds, not deny them. By focusing on the love and beauty that is in your life, you can rise above the hurts and injustices all around and keep your life in light and beauty. A very wise man once said that life is painful, but we do not have to suffer.
This of course takes courage, strength and a desire to get out of the habit of suffering. When you step into your higher consciousness you will find the compassion and power it takes to enter into suffering and rise above it.
Another form this cycle can take is to bring great joy and opportunity for creatively re-designing your world. Options may literally fall in your lap as you see opportunity everywhere.
As you move thru this month remember what is going on around you and bring out your light, bring out your love and raise up the vibrations of the moment.
