I'm sure you are familiar with Mercury Retrograde, a three-week period where Mercury appears to be moving in reverse based on our viewpoint on Earth because other planets are moving at different speeds. This reversal is only an optical illusion but its energetic ramifications are anything but an illusion. During this time, communication chaos ensues and people find themselves finding new ways to communicate, clear the air and fix any other electronic device used for communication. This happens because Mercury controls the energy around how we communicate. These arguments and frustrations are annoying but if you are aware, you find that at the end of it all, life has improved and those moments of redoing your calendar, electronics or how you communicate has left life better.
The same will be true for you soon in how you come to love life, others and yourself.
Welcome to Venus Retrograde.
Each of our planets go through a retrograde cycle and on July 22nd through September 3rd, Venus will be going through its retrograde period.
Venus manages how we love ourselves and others. These 40 days will be a period for you to review and restore a new way for you to love and care for yourself. What relationships fill you and turn on all your inner lights? Which relationships dull your light or exhaust you? Where can you find pleasure in your life and take a little more time to fill your own soul?
Do what makes your soul sing for 40 days.
According to Chani Nicholas, What you Need to Know About Venus Retrograde, she recommends for us to reflect back on the last time Venus was in retrograde in Leo, July 25- September 6, 2015. Pause here and take a moment to sort through past emails and journals.
