Navigating Venus Retrograde: Love, Finances and Self-Care Tips

Venus Retrograde: Navigating Love and Finances

Every 18 months, Venus, the planet associated with love, artistry, social graces, and money, enters a retrograde phase. This year, Venus will be retrograde from March 1 to April 12, traversing the signs of Aries and Pisces. During this period, we may experience stalled relationships and challenges in attracting lucrative investments. The intensity of this retrograde will be compounded by Mercury retrograde (from March 15 to April 7) and two eclipses (a lunar eclipse on March 14 and a solar eclipse on March 29), creating a complex emotional landscape.

The Energetic Shift of Venus

As Venus transitions from an evening star to a morning star during its retrograde, its energy shifts from passionate and vibrant to milder and quieter. On March 22, a significant astrological event occurs when the Sun and Venus retrograde form a conjunction known as “inferior cazimi.” This alignment can lead to profound realizations about our partnerships and how we present ourselves to others. It encourages us to reflect on our roles in relationships and to take steps toward healing and improvement.

Self-Reflection and Self-Care

A recurring theme during Venus’s retrograde is self-perception. Many may find themselves feeling inadequate compared to others. It is crucial to counter these negative thoughts with daily positive affirmations, reminding ourselves of our worthiness and excellence. Self-care practices and gratitude directed toward ourselves are essential during this time. Building self-confidence and not allowing external influences to diminish our shine is vital for emotional well-being.

Emotional Release and Healing

As Venus moves into Pisces on March 27, emotional challenges may intensify. Motivation could wane, and feelings of exhaustion may arise. It is advisable to embrace these emotions, allowing ourselves to cry and express our innermost feelings. This emotional release can lead to a significant healing process, enabling us to emerge renewed after months of pent-up feelings.

Financial Caution

From a financial perspective, it is prudent to adhere to a strict budget during this retrograde. Avoid making promises, investments, or lending agreements, as these could lead to unfavorable outcomes. It is wise to postpone any aesthetic changes until after Venus turns direct to avoid potential regrets, such as incurring debt for a haircut that doesn’t meet expectations.

Who Will Be Affected?

The effects of Venus retrograde will resonate with everyone, regardless of their astrological sign. To understand how this retrograde may impact you personally, examine the houses in your birth chart related to Aries and Pisces, as well as any planets you may have in those signs. Additionally, consider the houses and planets in Taurus and Libra, as Venus rules these signs and can provide further insights into your experience during this period.

Embodying the Spirit of Venus

To honor Venus, consider making offerings of roses on Fridays while setting your intentions. Embodying the spirit of Venus through kindness and compassion can significantly influence your future. By allowing yourself to receive Venus’s blessings, you can navigate this retrograde period with grace and positivity.
