• March 2 – Venus goes retrograde at 10* Aries & travels back to 24* Pisces.
• April 13 – Venus goes direct at 24* Pisces.
• May 15 – Venus reaches 10* Aries, her starting point, and has now cleared her shadow.

WHAT AREAS OF LIFE WILL BE AFFECTED?

Venus governs love, relationships, money, self-worth, values, leisure, satisfaction, beauty, harmony, creativity. Relationships with females, mothers, sisters, friendships, lovers. A retrograde indicates we’re going back over these topics because there’s something to see, something you missed, or there’s something that needs to be addressed.

Locate 10*Aries – 24* Pisces in your chart. Those house topics will come alive.

VENUS IN ARIES VS VENUS IN PISCES:

Venus in Aries is more independent. This is a time when you might question your independence in your relationship or want to take a new direction. Venus in Aries isn’t interested in connections. She wants to conquer things, move forward on her plans, chase something, be excited. But, a retrograde can slow her down. Beware of acting impulsive or impatient. Use discernment with what you are creating & desiring. Venus Rx wants you to consider what you truly want, what’s calling your name. Mars rules Aries, and Mars is direct in Cancer, but in his shadow period, so we are slowly coming into more of what we want, becoming more decisive, and able to put our attention and drive towards what we really want. And, its personal, private, and might be related to home, family, childhood or the past.

Beware of unconsciously pulling yourself into something you don’t want.

When Venus enters Pisces, March 27, the energy shifts dramatically, relationships take a softer tone, more compassion, empathy, understanding, more imagination & creativity, it opens you up to a more spiritual way of looking at things. Its also possible that you feel a lot and need to step away to get a clearer picture, or there’s a desire to withdraw or escape in order to process what is happening. You sense you need to let go of something, or you might get higher insight about next steps.

HERE ARE SOME WAYS IT CAN SHOW UP:

• If you are considering an expensive purchase, hold off until Venus goes direct. Hold off big money moves. Money and finances need a review. What do you really value &want to spend your money on?
• If you are an artist, writer, creative, etc. this might be a time when you go back over a creative project or collaboration. You might reconsider the direction you are taking or fix a creative error.
• If you are partnered with someone or have a contract with someone, you might renegotiate that contract or partnership. This applies to marriages, friendships, business partnerships, therapist, hair dresser, or housekeeper.
• Relationship energies are being re-birthed. Expect break-ups, unexpected connections, new beginnings, powerful partnerships.
• Leisure, pleasure, satisfaction is under review. What is actually satisfying and are you enjoying the way you use your time, energy or money? Are you consuming and investing in things that fill your cup and align with your values?
• Boost your self-worth. Venus rules Taurus and Taurus is all about that core strength. Venus retrogrades can bring up self-worth issues, like boundaries, people-pleasing, not putting your needs first. But, for some, you might get more clear on who you are, and you may feel a rise in personal confidence.
• Harmony and how you relate to others is weakened or compromised. It might be difficult to create harmony in your everyday life, in your interactions with friends, females, and other relationships. These things are under review or shifting. Stay in a place of personal love and self-acceptance.
• Beauty, make-up, clothes, hair also falls under Venus. This is not a good time to try a new hairstyle or spend a lot of money on clothes for something because it may not play out as you expected.

Venus stops at 24* Pisces and stations direct on April 13th. This is when things start turning around, moving forward, and you get clearer on choices that you want to make around these Venus themes.

10* Aries – 24* Pisces is where this is showing up. And, Venus rules your Taurus & Libra houses, so those 4 houses will be strongly affected by the circumstances that arise out of this Venus Retrograde.
