Good Morning!
Venus moves Stationary Retrograde today at 10’50” Scorpio at 1:05pm (MST). She remains retrograde until November 16th when she moves direct at 25’15” Libra (and is in ‘shadow’ until December 17th). Venus retrograde is a symbolic time to reflect upon our core values related to self love and love of ‘others’; what brings us pleasure in life through getting needs and desires met verses accepting the ‘other’. Venus retrograde in Scorpio is emphasizing recognizing and healing our shadow operating in our relationships with others while shedding attachments (emotional and physical) we no longer identify with in the process. Perhaps we can frame the process of facing our shadow during this time in the following quote, “Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy.” – Paracelsus. Because the Venus retrograde cycle involves a rebirth of Venus as a morning star (having previously been an evening star) symbolically there is a period, during this cycle, of letting go of the old and then becoming inspired by new values connected to our deepest desires. Here is an informative article about the details of this Venus retrograde cycle from AstroButterfly. Interestingly, the card from the Voyager tarot deck today titled ‘Fortune’ speaks to the process of letting go and rebirth Venus retrograde in Scorpio may require: “You are constantly recycling the wealth of the universe. By giving away what you have created, you allow new opportunities to come in. The turnover creates abundance for yourself and others. You are rewarded for you sharing on all levels of being.”
The Moon is Void of Course until 5:19pm (MST). Turning inward at this time may help to center and remind ourselves of our connection to Spirit as we begin this retrograde journey.
The Moon moves into Virgo and trines Uranus in Taurus until 7:26pm (MST). When the Moon comes back on line in Virgo, our attention may become focused on the practical details of life. We may begin to understand insight related to our emerging new values, with Uranus in Taurus, that will help us progress.
The Moon in Virgo trines Saturn in Capricorn until 10:43pm (MST). This is an extremely good time for working in a focused manner. It can also help us to connect with our personal authority as we emotionally dissect our world.
The Moon in Virgo sextiles Venus retrograde in Scorpio the remainder of the night. This begins the reflection of the details related to the transformation of our values, relationships and social needs that this Venus in retrograde cycle will be highlighting. On a mundane level, we may be receiving spiritual insight into our shadow and the practical application of how we go about embracing change.
Make it a great day!
