— Natal Venus Retrograde.

The planet, Venus, goes retrograde every 19 months & only lasting for about 21-41 days. Which makes Venus the rarest planet to have retrograded in one’s natal chart—Consuming only about 8 to 10% of the population. This significant population undergoes a vast amount of karma, issues & impediments surrounding Venusian themes.

Venus is the planet of beauty, what you find beautiful, love, how you love & show affection, art, self-esteem, creativity, relationships & connections, money, socializing—Ruled by Libra&Taurus.

Struggling Self-Worth

Venus represents self-esteem, & how you make yourself feel good or beautiful. A common Venus direct (someone who doesn’t have a Venus Retrograde) might find it easier to find things to love about themselves, to feel good or beautiful about who they are. With a Venus retrograde—they can struggle with finding themselves lovable, beautiful & worthwhile. Feeling as if they are not deserving of what they want, that they are not deserving of beautiful things. Their trip to love is a much more harder one than Venus direct individuals’. Venus Retrograde women usually struggle with self-care as it makes them uncomfortable or it just doesn’t work for them. It is not so uncommon for these individuals to search outside of themselves or become addicted to something to attain their self-happiness or feel worthy & cared for. For example: getting into a lots of romantic relationships, attaining lots of friends they are not so emotionally attached to, overindulgence with food & money, or even vast amounts of plastic surgery in some extreme cases. They also tend to seek unrelieved validation from others. After they are completely validated, it’s like their reassurance meter immediately runs out, which constantly causes them to seek more of it. A venus retrograde individual can usually come in extremes:

• Someone who feels as if they are not worthy enough for anyone or anything. So, they tend to become prideful & act as if they don’t need it anyways. They appear cold, detached & self-involved.
• Someone who feels as if they are not worthy enough for anyone or anything. So they become desperate & create a habit of constantly needing to prove to others that they are worthy enough to keep around. They act selfless, & insecure.

These are the types of individuals who accept less than what they are worth. For instance—Accepting fewer payment at their workplace, immensely appreciating others for the bare minimum, & undermining their own achievements.

Self-Sabotage, & Ruined Relationships

Venus Retrograde in one’s chart can be extremely detrimental to their relationships & connections with others. It is all because of their underlying belief that they are not worthy of anything great that comes their way in regards to love, & connections. Which can lead to sabotage & negative thought patterns—which can also lead to a failed & disorganized relationship history. It is not so uncommon for Venus Retrograde individuals to undergo connections where they are cheated on, abandoned, treated less than, or put under extremely intense & consequential circumstances to their personal development. They tend to attract partners from their past lives they have unfinished karma with. It might seem as if “the same person with a different face” always comes along in their love life to constantly teach them the same lesson. Over and over again until it clicks—

Since Venus Retrograde comes into extremes. The individual might appear detached, cold, and self-involved in their relationships. It is ironic because no matter how much love these individuals hold & want to give, they might struggle to show it as they might have a fear of abandonment, judgement & rejection. They might be more on the independent side to a point where they are immensely prideful & can’t stand to have a partner who is too attached or gives too much to them. (The types to not want to accept gifts, and might feel the need to give something back in return) It is also possible for them to become codependent, & addictive to their relationships, which soon happens to these individuals as they get comfortable with their significant other. When they are attached & the relationship seems to be going great, they might start to have a negative self-sabotaging thought pattern lead from the fear of their partner leaving them for someone else better, something bad is going to happen, or their partners not truly loving them as much they say or show they do. This can cause them to push their partners away, not trust them easily, or provide for them unnecessary things to make them to stay. For instance: Leo Retrograde Venuses might spoil their partner with money to make sure they stay. Which can affect their financial health & possibly attract people who only want them for money.

These individuals can be extremely picky on who they allow into the lives. It almost seems like they are searching for “The One” they will spend the rest of their life with. This can lead to these individuals rejecting potential lovers, friends, just overall connections of all sorts. They can often be misunderstood by others very often, most of the time.

Internalized Venus & Eccentric Expression

People like to give Venus Retrogrades the reputation of being cold, & rude in the means of love. That is not really the case. It might appear that way, but Venus Retrograde individuals are actually much more Venusian than Venus directs. That is because so much of Venus energy is internalized in them, it causes Venus Retrogrades to feel more of a desire for beauty, love, & connection than others. They probably have bigger hearts than others. They just struggle to fully express it because of this RX. It can be stressful. Keep in mind, Natal Retrogrades can give the individual a stronger need for that specific planet energy. These individuals think about love, beauty & connections all the time. The types of people who very much dream about meeting their soulmate, getting married, having friends, being rich, or being beautiful but can’t take the action to letting it happen. If the energy inside of them becomes a bit overbearing, their energy might manifest in a unhealthy way, like becoming too intense in expressing their feelings & scaring others away. They are immensely caring, & they actually love very deeply & intensively. So intensively that they might constantly take care of their loved ones & be there for them in fear of losing them. (Venus Retrogrades are always losing people so soon) They usually love differently, have different thoughts & values when it comes to love & connections. The types to not believe in marriage, or finds having friends to be “overrated”. Since it is extremes, it is even possible for these individuals to value more superficial things in relationships (looks, money, & reputation might matter more to them because they might believe this is what can make them truly happy) or couldn’t care less about materialistic things in relationships. Their perceptions of values regarding love, & connections are extremely different from others. Which can make them feel misunderstood, or weird.

This retrograde usually creates individuals who feel the strong need to express through artistic abilities like music, painting, fashion, or makeup. Since their sense of beauty, love & pleasure is doubled yet internalized. But some might struggle to actually pursue this need—They might be insecure or embarrassed regarding their talents to make such pleasurable things. So this energy will build up & build up over time, which can lead to an explosive expression which can be a bit overbearing. They might have different perceptions or values when it comes to beauty, and art. The types of people to love dadaism (a type of an eccentric art) It might even create someone who has very, very low or very, very high standards. That one attractive friend who seems to go for guys way out of her league or is not the most conventionally attractive which can cause wandering, confused eyes amongst others? Yeah, that’s Venus Retrograde individuals. It is very different for every one of us but this is the tone of it.

The Childhood Of A Venus Retrograde

In the typical childhood of a Venus Retrograde, they were often the “anti-social kid” or the kid who were more kept to themselves. This retrograde usually gives someone social anxiety or social awkwardness. So maybe in school, it was more harder to make friends, socialize correctly, or developing long-lasting, emotional, fun connections with their family, or peers. This can often cause a feeling of disconnect from people & life. They might not feel “normal” or feel as if it is hard to be a decent human being. They might feel as if it is too much to establish confidence in connections with others. So it might seem as if it is best to isolate themselves from others. Being around others often felt constraining, or they felt as if they had to play some type of facade around others. They might’ve been the types to be afraid of making friends at school because of the constant fear of being rejected, judged, or talked about.

It is possible that these individuals might’ve not had parents who showed lots appreciation, attention, & affection towards them. Which can cause the underlying thought that they are not worthy of being loved. Maybe they even grew up in a distant, cold household. It is common for Venus Retrogrades to maybe have had a parent abandoned them, absent, or had a single parent in the household growing up. These individuals might have had family problems growing up or didn’t feel as connected to their family.

Venus Retrograde kids often were very optimistic about their future regarding their love life & finances. The types to set goals of becoming rich or getting married to a beautiful partner. This usually creates closeted hopeless romantics in childhood. But when they eventually get older, their perceptions & beliefs can change as they become more self-aware & insecure.

Venus Retrograde kids might fall victim to even being insecure in their physical appearance—more noticed in Venus Retrograde females but can be noticed in Venus Retrograde males too. This will lead through in young adulthood too, but more prominent as a teen since we are more conscious when it comes to our physical at this time. There are a few differences regarding between the male & female Venus Retrograde individuals.

-Female Venus Retrograde Kids: Since Venus is a feminine planet alone, the females might have struggled with their femininity. Not feeling pretty, girly, cute, or feminine enough. They couldn’t express femininity because of their lack of self-confidence or not feeling as if they are doing it correctly. It could have made them immensely insecure in their appearance while growing up.

- Male Venus Retrograde Kids: Surprisingly, the males seem to be more in touch with their feminine side. They might attract women later in life with hypiing this retrograde energy, but males with this retrograde are very much in tune with their feminine, emotional side than their female counterpart. But they might struggle with not having the best relationships with women while growing up, which can somewhat cause abandonment or vulnerability issues.

Venus Retrograde is very depressing. So it is common for individuals to fall into episodes of depression, or loneliness.

It is also common for Venus Retrograde kids to have struggled with picking up Venusian-like hobbies, even if they wanted to pursue those specific hobbies.For example: A Venus Retrograde girl might have wanted to play with makeup, or try out clothes—but might have fallen short of confidence to do so…..A Venus Retrograde boy might have had an interest in writing music, rapping—but might have been too insecure of his abilities to start doing this. Venus Retrogrades most likely hasn’t had their artistic, creative, feminine, or caring side exercised as a kid. It is highly recommended for parents to exercise their Venus Retrograde child’s caring, loving & feminine side by letting them do such things like: Giving them a pet to learn natural compassion, allow them to expand to some form of self-expression (like drawing, or experimenting with clothes), or allowing them to participate in social activities to gain social confidence. Most importantly, allowing them to open up & make sure they know that they are loved unconditionally.

Being Happy with Yourself First

As I stated, Venus Retrograde individuals are constantly put into disappointing situations regarding love, friendships, money, or overall connections “over and over again until it clicks"—They need self-love. While Venus Directs mainly needs at least of bit self-love to maintain connections with others, Venus Retrogrades needs a lot of self-love to maintain a connection withthemselves. Venus Directs might have the tendencies of not liking themselves, but Venus Retrogrades might have the tendencies of hating themselves. It is very sad to think about. The key advice to this retrograde is recognize your worth, express your femininity confidently & in your own way, stop self-sabotaging & know that you deserve the best (like everyone else). You deserve love. You’re loved & cared for. You’re beautiful in your own way. You are a good person. You ARE capable of being loved.

Venus Retrograde individuals are not going to get that soulmate they often desire until they learn how to get themselves. A bit of self-love can go a long way. Learning to be happy with yourself can create a strong foundation of "Even if I was alone, I wouldn’t mind it because I am happy with myself already.” All of these things you want besides yourself is just an addition. It all starts with you.

Loving yourself eventually opens doors to attracting more positive, long-lasting, healthy, & fulfilling connections, sense of inner-happiness & confidence, & living your life unapologetically the way you want to live it.

Late autumn vibes for the signs

Libra - bringing out the boardgames for a game night. Go buy new “nice” pencils to motivate themselves to study. Getting a foot massage by their s/o. Cuddling up in a library corner. Going outside to stargaze but soon back inside because it’s cold and they forgot to bring a hat.

Scorpio - wanting to go camping in the fall, including everything importang: sleeping bags, bread on a stick, making your own fire. Just cannot really admit that they don’t know how to build a tent. Going apple picking because their best friend asked them to go together, but end up having fun. Dressing like Dracula. Getting a pumpkin spiced latte and feeling embarrassed about it if anyone from work sees them.

Sagittarius - making their own chocolate sirup. Visiting their grandparents. Searching for hours for their old kite and then letting it fly in the fields outside of the city. Listening to old songs they haven’t listened to in such a long time and immediately vibing with them. Saving their siblings from the bat in the bathroom, freeing it and naming it Bertha.

Capricorn - walking the dog, riding a horse, feeling the wind around their nose this fall. Wanting to learn how to braid baskets, and nobody knows if that’s just them over-romanticising cottagecore or if the baskets are gonna be christmas presents. Capricorns are very much not into ghost stories, thank you very much.

Aquarius - they listen to the rain at night and think they will never again be able to sleep without this sound. Talking to a friend on the phone and dwelling on summer memories. Walking through a park and consciously observing all the colors. Cleaning out their room. Enjoying the crunch of the leaves under their feet.

Pisces - quietly singing the ‘Nightmare before Christmas’-songs to themselves. Meticulously planning a Halloween feast for their roommates and surprising them with it. And then they’re kinda sad that nobody dressed up in costume. Reading their very favourite book yet again. Kisses on cold noses.

Part 1

December Astro Forecast

Happy Sagittarius season, Stargazers! We’re only 29 days from the start of the new year and the energy of Jupiter/Saturn’s run through the zodiac will be a doozy. You might already be feeling the effects with the eclipse energy permeating the skies. So without further ado, let’s take a look at what these next few weeks have in store for us.

December 1st — Moon Enters Scorpio and Neptune Goes Direct

Now, when Neptune’s Retrograde, this causes veils to be lifted and a few unsavory reality checks to hit you. So, during the time he was retrograde, things like the sleeping state/somnia cycles, altered states of mind including but not limited to: being high, drinking, catatonia, etc. Were all things many of us might’ve been struggling with. When he’s asleep those monsters under your bed come out to play. However, now that Poseidon’s clocked back in again, we may be able to catch those precious Z’s we’ve been missing out on. Temperance and moderation regarding spirits [libations not entities, lol] could be more in check for you, and synchronicities from the universe could be harassing you incessantly now. Don’t be surprised if soulmate stuff [including your friends] come about now that Neptune’s energy is back to normal.

December 4th — Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius

This shit right here. Right here this shit. This behemoth celestial occurrence has probably been running roughshod over you all already. Collectively, we’re likely feeling tired, dehydrated, moody, and this weird little thing with your libido might be overactive. More than a few of you might’ve noticed tensions high at work, customers or clients sounding agitated or patience running thin. Don’t try to run from it and you’re certainly not alone. Just remember you are still in control of your decisions and how you respond to what comes at you. Everything is a choice and Sag/Jupiter is the ruler of wisdom. Don’t be afraid to take advantage of what’s naturally available to us during this time. In addition, don’t be afraid to open yourself up to things you might’ve written off. Might be a good time to respond to that guy/girl you left on “read” in your DM’s or take that staycation/vacation you’ve been putting off.

December 12th — 12/12 Portal

Another portal opening. This gateway will open up a much needed cleansing of old ways. A time for letting go and sacrifice. In tarot, the number 12 is the card of the Hanged Man who represents letting go and release. You’ll find that this day is pretty much a magnet for manifesting. Lots of luck here.

December 13th — Mars Enters Sagittarius

Mars enters the jolly but philosophical sign of the Archer for the next six weeks. Get ready to get a cosmic injection of thrills and ragers. Seriously, Mars in this sign is what Dreamworks action/adventure films are made of. You might find yourself fueled by wanderlust and passion. You might even download Duo-Lingo and try your hand at that foreign language you’ve always wanted to learn. Just be mindful not to be too impulsive. As Mars is a fire planet and Sag is a fire sign, our drive might burn to strong to quickly. Use Jupiter’s wisdom to think before you act. 

December 18th — Full Moon in Gemini 

Gemini energy ruling the moon here means you might find your mental faculties going a mile a minute. Everything will interest you and everyone will be a source of curiosity. Very friendly/social energy. Since Mercury is the ruler of Gemini, you’ll intellectualize your emotions today and everything will be quite cerebral. You might even find you’re a chatty Cathy. Just don’t dry snitch on yourself. Not everyone needs to know your business. Those of you who practice/who plan on doing full moon rituals might find that spells regarding the mind or just increasing cleverness might be ideal during this time. In addition, those of you who may have natal placements in Gemini, pay attention- you might find this energy quite potent that day.

December 19th — Venus Retrograde in Capricorn and Chiron Direct

Venus takes a sabbatical in the Earthy and Saturnian sign of the seagoat. During this time, you’ll find that there will be a bit of internalization of everything the planet stands for. Themes tend to play out inwardly and affect psychological states. Therefore, expect matters related to the five senses, financial and material possessions, love, fertility in the literal and figurative senses, harmony and justice, aesthetics, relationships, and negotiations to be at the core of your thoughts. However, this is also a time to use discernment [which may be easier since Saturn is all about rationalization as apposed to emotion]. Sense and sensibility. Now is the time to set healthy boundaries with the people you love. It’s okay to say “No."  It might be a challenging time for relationships but you are not responsible for other people’s feelings or their happiness. Now, this is not a free pass to be cruel but if you are labeled a “bitch” for sticking up for yourself and your mental health, so be it. Be a bitch. Do what you want. You’ll get more respect but laying down the law and taking care of you.

December 21st — Winter Solstice [Sun in Capricorn]

Blessed Yule to those who celebrate! Solstice is a time when the sun rises on the exact same latitudinal (declinations) degree. So this is the only time of the year that the sun actually stops it’s movement northward and or southward in our sky. It makes sense that time is literally stopped when Father time, AKA, Saturn starts running the show. Make that wishlist for 2022 because Father Karma will be blessing us with what we discipline ourselves with/focus on moving forward. The work we’ve done or have been doing we’ll be reaping the rewards for. In addition, what you haven’t been taking care of or what you’ve neglected might catch up to you so take care to tighten up wherever you’ve been slacking. Huge activations in consciousness. Turn your focus towards our long term goals, career, public image and prestige. 10th House things, which Saturn/Cap rule.

December 23rd — Saturn Square’s Uranus

This time brings restrictive change or unexpected changes. Can be a frustrating time when these two outer planets are at odds. Stay open minded. Stay patient and flexible, what may seem like a challenge at first might actually be an opportunity cloaked as a ‘headache’. Use this time to rid yourself of things that are limiting you in life. Delete those numbers. Mute/block/restrict/unfollow whoever you have to. You may also realize what bad habits or outdated belief systems are blocking your forward progression. Don’t force change- just try to adapt. This time in particular isn’t the time to overreact to or resist things that come at you. Creativity may also feel blocked at this time so utilize a well-thought out, methodical and calculated approach to things.

December 25th — Venus Conjunct Pluto

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! During what should be a merry time, we have Venus retrograde in Capricorn conjuncting transformative Pluto for the third and final time [there will also be a conjunction between these two planets on Dec 3rd and 11th.] Those of you with this natal placement might know exactly what to expect >:). For the rest of you, expect intense and obsessive feelings to come to the forefront, especially in matters regarding love. There can be a strong boost in the sex drive but some clinginess and possessiveness as well coming from or being projected onto you. Exes may come back confessing their wrongs or an old flame who may not have graduated to significant other may contact you for some cold hard lovin’. Choice is yours.

 December 28th — Jupiter in Pisces

Jupiter in it’s home sign of Pisces [Yes, I said that right- Jupiter is the ancient ruler of the fishes] will bring good luck and opportunities through creativity, intuition and compassionate energy. Random acts of charity could come back to you ten-fold. Pay it forward at the coffee shop or give that homeless man on the turnpike the other-half of your sandwich. ‘Tis the season, you know? Idealism, and tenderness will be rewarded richly. Plus, Altruism is good for the complexion ;).

December 30th — Mercury Conjunct Pluto

Time for deep talks. Those topics you’d never though you’d be able to discuss with anyone. Serious topics while at the same time getting to the bottom of what really fuels you and what your goals are. Why you’re ambitious about what you’re ambitious about and all that that implies. This is also a good time for detective work as these two planets fusing together energetically are the stalker investigative placement, lol. Just be curious, not invasive ;).

Pile 1. Do we need a past and a future to feel joy? Can’t just the present moment be an explosion of eternity? Let’s just be. Let’s just be now. Elsa Khapatnukovski

Pile number one this is such a beautiful reading. Very often the venus retrograde is associated with the return of an ex and for the majority of you, someone is going to return from the past. This venus retrograde is your chance to let go of the past, to let go of the fear that this time isn’t going to work out, to let go of the assumptions and to not overthink that much for the future ahead. This venus retrograde is asking you to start live in the present, to be more instinctual, to forgive the past and to trust your intuition. Try to be more open, to love and to go with the flow. Even if the person that is coming is someone new, the lesson here is to understand that past hurts/mistakes have made who you are today and you’re not going to repeat the same mistakes or have the same toxic experiences because you have learned the lessons and now you are finally ready to have a healthy and beautiful relationship. Just chill and don’t overthink too much. You are on the right path to find the right one. Luck is on your side ❤️

Pile 2. I was once the person in front of the mirror. And I will be the person in the mirror. I will shed my shadow like a used skin, and I will surge into a light of my own making. Transformation; self love. Elsa Khapatnukovski

Pile number 2 this Venus retrograde is going to help you in your self-love journey. You may have many insecurities and this may have made you isolate from the world or perceive the world like a terrible/chaotic place to live in, choosing to stay in your bubble alone or maybe you feel so comfortable in your bubble that you consciously choose to stay alone missing out on the beauty that the real world has to offer. In both cases it’s important to acknowledge that yes, spending time alone is necessary to fill up your energetic resources but deep down you know that it’s a human need to receive love, company and support from others. You have to go out and explore the real world. This is what venus retrograde is going to bring you, a change in perspective, more confidence and self-love. This venus retrograde is going to encourage you to be more adventurous, more optimistic and to go out more often and to understand that maybe your insecurities have made you see the world more frightening than what it really is.

Pile 3.I have stood here, outside the pouring rain.I have seen sunset and dawn,and then dried my tears. My clothes are my prison. My jewels are my shackles. My compliance is my jailor. Now that I have what I craved, how the pain can still be here? Elsa Khapatnukovski

Dear Pile number 3 this Venus retrograde is going to bring you a tower moment in your life. For quite some time you have chosen to feed your ego and your insecurities by chasing material things. Thinking that what you really need is being successful while hiding your pain with material indulgence. You may have been a little superficial giving importance to things that can’t really heal your soul. This Venus retrograde is going to make you rethink of past behaviors and realize that maybe you have taken the wrong turn. You are going to notice that even if you have everything that you initially craved(success,power, money), you still feel the pain so maybe what you thought that was important for your happiness was just a defense mechanism to protect your heart. This Venus retrograde is going to give you the spiritual insight that you need to start over in a more healthy way. To accept your mistakes, to start asking for help and support , to be more in contact with your emotions. This is your chance to release these toxic behaviors and to start being more in contact with your emotions. You can do this

Pile number 5 you have spent a lot of your time doing something(maybe pursuing a career) neglecting the other things in life or maybe neglecting your loved ones.

Full Moon in Gemini

18th December 2021

The last Full Moon of the year! The next New Moon is going to be in the first few days of January, so now we have an amazing opportunity to leave behind everything that we don’t want to bring into 2022.

This Full Moon is happening a day before Venus goes Retrograde, which I talked about here. I mention how it might affect our relationships and finances. Well this Full Moon can highlight some of the problems and give us a preview of where we might be challenged during the Retrograde.

But since Jupiter will trine the Moon, we have a huge opportunity to fix those areas before they can get any worse. Jupiter gives us strong supportandhelps us resolve any issues,if we are willing to work with the energy.

Jupiter is the most abundant planet, so the upcoming Gemini Full Moon can be considered very lucky. Jupiter brings us unexpected blessings and good luck -use it to your best advantage.

I recommend setting intentions for abundance and prosperity in the area of your life which is ruled by Gemini! Check your chart and see in which house Gemini is, more specifically you can check where the Full Moon will be transiting - it’s happening at 27°Gemini.

✨Set intentions for:

• Support and guidance in solving problems
• Abundance and luck in relationshipsandfinances
• Spiritual growth
• Better communication skills
• Leaving behind all that no longer serves you

I wish you a lovely full moon

Venus Retrograde in Capricorn

✨ 19th December 2021 - 29th January 2022

Venus going retrograde gives us the opportunity to reflect on our relationships, financial assets and self-worth. People might have trouble seeing the correct value of not only material things, but also themselves or their connections!

Do you know your worth? Or do you let others walk over you and use you? Now is a great time to take a step back and set new boundaries. Focus on self-love, rather than chasing old flings and seeking validation from elsewhere.

Venus Retrograde is known for bringing back exes and old lovers from the past. And many people easily fall into this ‘trap’. Remember that you have most likely left these people in the past for a reason.Do they really deserve your time now?

Any current relationships could be challenged by this retrograde. Communication is key here, so if you want your relationship to continue, make sure both parties involved have the same intentionsand are going to put in equal amount of work and energy!

Since Venus is in Capricorn, we might also be challenged when it comes to our finances. What I recommend here is to make sure you are as organized as possible, keeping track of all your incomes and spendings. This is definitely not the time for reckless spending!!

And lastly, Venus is strongly connected to our appearance.Avoid dramatic last-minute changes (yes, this means fighting the urge to suddenly change your hair color or get a tattoo). Because what you think you like now might completely change once Venus is direct.

✨What to avoid:

• Dramaticallychanging your appearance
• Reconnecting with exes and friends who were left in the past for a reason
• Reckless shopping, spending money you shouldn’t be spending
• Don’t sell yourself short. Know your worth!

I wish you the best✨

Mercury goes Retrograde

✧ Jan 14th - Feb 3rd 2022 in Aquarius/Capricorn

Mercury is stationing Retrograde in the sign of Aquarius! It tells us to slow downandreflect on how we’ve been living our daily routines.

Because Mercury will be retrograde in Aquarius and Capricorn - the two Saturn-ruled signs - it’s extra important to focus on structure, think long-termandavoid being reckless!

And it’s not just happening in the Saturn signs, but Mercury will also conjunct Saturnat the time of stationing Retrograde!

Saturn is all about creating security not just for the present, but for your future self. Therefore this Mercury Retrograde brings us the opportunity to slow down and re-evaluate all those future plans.

Saturn gives us the most difficultbut also some of the mostimportant lessons,so take a step back and spend some time on self reflection.Are you being too hard on yourself? Do you need to take a break? Or should you be working harder? Only you have the answers.

✨What to watch out for:

• Arguments, especially with any authorities or older people
• Miscommunication
• Delays and issues with technology
• Unexpected changes - be flexible!

✨What to focus on:

• Re-evaluatingyourplansandroutines
• Self-reflection, check where will Mercury be transiting in your chart for further details
• Think critically! Now is not the time to let your emotions control you
• Bepatientandthink twice before you act

We are also currently still experiencing Venus Retrograde, which I have talked about in a separate post before.But what does it mean for us when Venus and Mercury are in retrograde at the same time?

• Possiblestrugglesin communication in our closest relationships
• Ex-loversandfriendscoming back and reaching out
• Falling into addictionsandtoxic patterns

Remember that there is no need to be scared of retrogrades. Check your chart, see where you have Capricorn and Aquarius and slow down in those areas of life. No need to worry, you’ll be fine angels✨
