Greetings Star Trippers!
Venus will move retrograde from October 5th through November 16th. We all know Venus as the goddess of love and beauty but throughout the ages ancient civilizations have also worshiped her as the goddess of war. 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned' and during Venus retrograde it is easy to want to go to war over the smallest of slights. So watch your temper and ground down your energy because it's going to be a bumpy ride.
She begins her retrograde period in the sign of Scorpio and when Venus is in Scorpio she is not in her element! Scorpio is a very sexy and sensual sign and when the goddess of love and sex is here it's like putting a sugar addict in a donut shop. It is very easy to over indulge in sexual passions or make rash decisions and to add more fuel to the fire Venus in Scorpio likes to own her lovers lock, stock and barrel. She doesn't just want a man's heart, she wants his soul. So what does this retrograde mean for us fellow Star Trippers? This is a time where people and subjects pertaining to love, beauty and relationships from your past will resurface out of nowhere. You may have a random run in with an ex and with this Venus in Scorpio energy you may have an urge for a passionate hook up, old feelings will be brought to the forefront of your mind. Resist the temptation! Exes are exes for a reason and retrogrades want you to reassess and remember the lessons you've learned from before to solidify your new found wisdom so you can move on to bigger and better things.
October 31st Venus will move retrograde into Libra where she is much more comfortable as the ruler over the sign of the scales. This energy is much more flighty and could bring up a spontaneous rendezvous that is at first piping hot but quickly turns ice cold. Be wary of the temptation for a one night stand and I definitely recommend that you should stay away from starting any new romantic relationships during Venus retrograde.
Venus retrograde no no's: No big drastic cosmetic or beauty changes
No new relationships
No hooking up with your ex!
The reason I am saying no here is because it is going to be tempting but during a retrograde things never turn out the way we want them to and if you start something new you will end up going back over it again and again to fix it when you should have waited for the right timing.
Venus retrograde do's: Do self care and pamper yourself
Do reassess and reaffirm current relationships
Do stay calm and grounded when you run into your ex
