There has been a lot of talk about Venus of late.
Venus is feminine, she is harmonious and influences our creativity and teaches us about love and how to love.
Venus is central to our values, beauty, money, attraction and relationships.
Venus retrogrades every 18months and this cycle has been likened to a total eclipse of the heart. This 18 month cycle Venus started her retrograde on the 22nd July and goes direct on September 3rd.
So what is this all about?
This is an awesome opportunity to have a serious look at our relationships, finances and our values. Which is great right? Some of this might be really fucken scary! It can be a time when that which you love most can fall apart right before your eyes. Now that sucks big time. So if this happens to be you, I'm gonna say - dive in - feel every bit of it - then pick yourself up, because the truth is that this is THE opportunity to re-set and restructure your current reality - to revamp to a more aligned version. It's creative and destructive. It's a great opportunity to get into alignment with what it is you are seeking - truly seeking - remember - what you are seeking is also seeking you. Fantastic opportunity to discover and be real about what is working and what is not. This season is set to have us go through many ups and downs and those ups and downs will have us come to a point where we realise and embrace that it is all for the better. Remember, that which is meant for us will never pass us by!
Do you want a more aligned life?
I know I do.
So how do we get into alignment during this time?
Do what you love to do.
Yep that's it. Do what you love.
If you feel like crap and things have fallen apart and you love to cook - cook in that moment! If you love to dance - spend a few minutes tearing up the floor! If it is singing - belt our a few good tunes - you get the picture. Do these things in the moment. It's up to you to raise your vibration - its up to you to GET into alignment with your higher self. It is in the moments of doing what we love that we get our insights, out "hits" our inspirations and our ideas. So, if you don't know what to do after a fall or a loss - go do what you love. Doing this is allowing us to embrace our feminine energy, naturally. Gone are the days of what femininity needs to look and sound like. No - fuck that - that is an old paradigm. Working with your feminine energy is about being in alignment.
To make the most of Venus in retrograde this season - get into alignment and act from your higher self.
Here are some ways you can do that"
Drop out of the drama
Be honest with yourself
Let go of what and who needs to go
Nourish your body with nutritious foods, essentials oils, meditation, herbal teas and water
Journal - journaling is truly underrated!!
Be in self-awareness
Now because Venus retrogrades through the sign of Leo these next 18months - things could get a little fiery. Drop the drama and instead use this energy to identify what really lights you up and sets you on fire! What are you passionate about? What is it that matters to you? I mean really matters?
Our values can also get an overhaul during this time. Do you know what you value? Do you know your own value? Your self-worth? Have you been allowing others to dictate your worth to you? If you experience these types of interactions - sit in your heart space - feel into them. Take the higher road - come from, and act with love. Maybe it is a time to let this situation or person go. Your values are not something to compromise on.
It is a time to reflect on what these past few weeks have taught you. You are being asked to embrace your authentic aligned self and close connections in a more meaningful way. Venus completely disappears from the sky as she shifts from an evening star - where things can feel darkest before the dawn - to a morning star in the night sky - where new paths and adventures await. You could say that at the point of Venus showing as a morning star - that this is the moment when you come out of the shadows with a deeper desire to know yourself. Venus wants you to explore the hidden aspects of your subconscious. It is time to rise from the darkness. The most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with yourself. Who do you truly desire to be? Get into alignment and get it happening.
Love Life Big
Big love
