Venus Retrograde in Aries
Venus, the goddess of love, unity, harmony and beauty is moving through the fiery home of Mars. Ancient astrology teaches that this is a place Venus doesn't love to be, as the nature of Mars' residence is not super conducive to all things Venusian.
This is true, and certainly poses challenges. But this placement also stirs the pot and ignites a desire to explore what we may find beautiful and artistic. I'm finding bravery to be a theme as well. The house placement this transit occurs in, will spice and flavor this further.
The last time we found ourselves in this territory was March 2017 - April 2017.
My favorite way to think about previous transits is to look back through my photos and writing (articles, blog posts and journals) to remind me of what was being stirred in my world at that time.
How might those themes resurface and what does it mean that they are up again for consideration?
My personal research revealed that the last Venus Retrograde in Aries (my 7th) found me:
- Marveling at what and who I love,
- Writing about remembering my Mommom and how much she meant to me,
- Exploring art galleries with my then small children and watching their questioning minds make sense of abstract art,
- Traveling to a parenting conference to gather with like-minded people and learn how to support my growing children,
- Making a journey to a landmark that I'd only read about but took up a lot of space in my heart and was important to me as a breastfeeding mother and community support person for other breastfeeding moms,
- Deepening my yoga practice and attending yoga conferences and workshops with new and different facilitators.
This time around, this transit has me asking:
How am I looking closely at what infuses harmony in my heart?
How am I acting bravely, even in quiet ways?
Perhaps you're wondering this for yourself too.
