You\u2019d have thought I\u2019d said the world was ending!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat???!\u201d The bride exclaimed. \u201cNot on my wedding day, right? Oh my god\u2014that would be the worst!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs this like a Mercury retro but with total relationship screw-ups?\u201d another girl asked. \u201cI just started seeing somebody new\u2014is it all going to fall apart?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s back up,\u201d I said. \u201cVenus retrograde isn\u2019t until March 4th \u2026 and while all retro periods share certain characteristics, it\u2019s very different from Mercury. Love and money are themes for sure,\u201d I told them. \u201cBut don\u2019t freak out!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I invited everybody over for a fun drinks party later in the week to dive deeper into Venus\u2019 retro journey. Though it might sound like a scary time, Venus retrograde is actually a powerful period in which to reassess financial projects and goals, revisit relationship themes, and to generally get clearer on what Venusian things you\u2019d like to attract.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Love, Love, Love!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Any retrograde emphasizes the \u201cre\u201d words\u2014like <em>review, revisit, and renew<\/em>\u2014and Venus is no exception. Venus rules Libra and Taurus, and the Seventh and Second Houses of the zodiac, so we can expect her retro to include themes from these parts of the horoscope. Libra especially is focused on relationships, harmony, and balanced communication. Taurus is the sensualist, the lover, cook, masseuse, and\u2014somewhat conversely\u2014the financial visionary.<\/p>\n<p>Venus retro is a good time to take a break from dating and <em>reassess<\/em> what it is you are looking for in a mate. <em>Review<\/em> your <a href=\"\/articles\/love\/is-it-okay-to-lie-on-your-online-dating-profile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dating profiles<\/a>. Anything you want to change? What about what you really value in a relationship\u2014is that still the same?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Beginning a relationship in a Venus retro may mean you won\u2019t really see the person clearly (or vice versa) or that you will likely revisit old relating themes. If you still have work to do around this, that\u2019s fine. But most of us don\u2019t want to <em>revisit<\/em> our past failures. Even if you meet someone great, you may find you\u2019ll have to adjust or even break up when the retro period ends. Of course, don\u2019t plan your whole life based on astrology! But the planets <em>do<\/em> affect us&#8230;so just make informed choices.<\/p>\n<p>You also may find old flames popping back into your life or revisiting past relationships somehow. Maybe you\u2019ll go through your love letters or old photos. It can be really freeing to ritually dispose of past love stuff\u2014and it might open the door for new love, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And on the subject of marriage\u2014a Venus retro period isn\u2019t the greatest time to get married, but if it\u2019s already planned, don\u2019t sweat it. You can attract what you want, no matter what the planets are doing!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Money&#8230;It\u2019s a Hit\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After love, money is the most stressful topic for me and my girlfriends. And though it may seem weird that it\u2019s a Venus thing, the goddess of love\u2014in her rulership of Taurus\u2014gets practical with her attentions. Taurus and the Second House are about how we earn income, what we spend money on, and how we value our own worth.<\/p>\n<p>Being an entrepreneur, I\u2019m looking forward to the Venus retro to review my fees, offerings, and approaches to business. Now\u2014I\u2019m not going to execute anything in this period\u2014just <em>review<\/em>, <em>reassess<\/em>, and <em>realign<\/em> with my goals. It\u2019s a perfect time to figure out what I want to attract and start creating an action plan. For me, that includes prosperity spells, <a href=\"\/articles\/tarot\/create-a-vision-board-to-connect-with-your-personal-tarot-cards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a vision board<\/a>, and other rituals as well as practical stuff. What will it mean for you?<\/p>\n<p>I advised my gals to <em>rethink<\/em> financial goals, look at debt clearly, and avoid, avoid, avoid shopping! Venus retro is a terrible time to shop\u2014especially for high-end stuff. Instead, I encourage finding your treasures at thrift shops or flea markets. Have fun \u201cattracting\u201d things you want to find at the Goodwill or consignment boutique (this is one of the best small ways to practice the law of attraction). Or <em>revitalize<\/em> your wardrobe with crafty skills like dyeing or refashioning garments. If you really are jonesing for a new look, make a mood board and wait until the retro has passed to shop.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of looks\u2014don\u2019t get a radical haircut or color, tattoo, or permanent makeup during this time, but feel free to <em>rethink<\/em> your beauty regimen and style. How can you manifest your Venus more? <em>Research<\/em> new product lines or examine making your own beauty products.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Venus retro\u2014which starts March 4th at 13 degrees of Aries and lasts until April 15th at 26 degrees of Pisces\u2014is a gift from the goddess, a time to go within and redefine our feminine style. (Venus only goes retrograde about every 18 months, so take advantage!) Fashion, love, money, beauty, even business goals are all really important topics to <em>reassess<\/em>. The Aries energy will have us feeling feisty and brave, while the dip back into Pisces will ensure that we make our new decisions from our spiritual core. Make it fun. Don\u2019t fear it\u2014work it!<\/p>\n<p><em>Are you lacking clarity and focus on the Venusian aspects of your life?
