Venus Retrograde is one of those transits that can bring exes back into the picture. This DOESN'T MEAN it's a sign you need to get back together. For a rare few of you, maybe it will mean that. Instead, what the past dredges up is a form of life review, one we get to have during our life instead of after it. How do you show up in your connections? What did you learn from your past relationships? Where did you sacrifice your authenticity in exchange for attention and affection? How can you honor your self-expression and personal integrity now? How will you approach things differently in the future?
And lastly, how can you cultivate more childlike innocence and unadulterated bliss in your life? It's okay to be silly or even downright ridiculous sometimes. Who cares who's watching?
