Venus Retrograde 2023

Venus the planet of love and relationships, is in the sign of Leo. Venus is currently retrograde until September 4th 2023. The retrograde shadow period lasts until October 6th 2023. So from now till October 6th, we are being asked to focus on how we relate to the world. Take stock on the state of your heart. Audit your relationships. Face what needs to change. Began by taking accountability of yourself first. How am I showing up in relationships? What do I need and want from my relationships? What do others need and want from me? Get specific. Get clear. Ask questions. Communicate. Take responsibility for the way you relate to the world. With Venus on a fixed sign, it can be easy to be stubborn and blame others for our unhappiness. Blame is a waste of time. We can not change the past. We can only change the present and create the future with our current actions. So focus on the now. What kind of relationships do you want now?  What does your heart need? Take time on a regular basis during this retrograde period to take stock of the state of your relationships.

Relationships are important to our happiness. The following quote is from an article from the New York Times published on 01/01/2023: “The Harvard study is far from the only one to have found a link between our relationships and happiness. Ample research shows that people who are more socially connected live longer and are more protected against stress, depression and declines in memory and language.” It is time to learn to relate to the world around you. It is time to strengthen and build new and current relationships, and to take responsibility for the way you show up in your relationships. It is never too late to love and be loved. Use the energies of the Venus Retrograde wisely. #yourlifeisnow written by Ana Maria Pineda copyright 2023. @anamariapinedacom
