Venus Turns Retrograde - Relationship Review & Reset
And an opportunity to learn an evolutionary approach to relationship astrology on March 15th!
Venus, Goddess of Love, turns retrograde today, until April 12th. The full influence of Venus retro is actually longer - she entered her retrograde “shadow” on January 28th and won’t fully emerge until May 15th.
Over the next few months, Venus retrograde invites review, revision and renegotiation in relationship-land. It’s not uncommon for partners, lovers and friends from the past to resurface - in the dreamtime and/or in waking life. Revisiting, healing and resolving past relationships can help you move forward with greater clarity and success.
If you’re in a committed partnership, Venus retro can stir up frustration or dissatisfaction. There may be issues from the past that were glossed over and now need to be addressed, and/or you may need to temporarily pull back your energy to focus on your own needs and desires.
If you’re single and looking, Venus retro is an excellent time for inner work to prepare for your next relationship - uncovering and working through any blocks to receiving the love you desire, and dreaming into your ideal partnership. Issues around self-love and self-worth are in the spotlight and ripe for healing.
When a “new” partner appears during Venus retro, typically there’s a strong past-life tie, and you’ve come back together to do some soul-level growth and healing. This particular Venus retro brings a special focus to karmic relationships, as Venus will conjoin with the North Node (evolutionary future) and oppose the South Node (karmic past) three times.
I’ll be sharing a lot more about Venus retro over the coming weeks - including an opportunity to deep dive into your relationship with MONEY (another Venus retro theme) in a live workshop with Soul Sherpa Extraordinaire Anné Klint and yours truly.
In the meantime, if you’re an astro-geek who’s curious about relationship astrology, join me for a special presentation!
Saturday, March 15, 11am-1pm Pacific/1-3pm Eastern (or by recording)
The Nodes in Synastry: An Evolutionary Approach to Decoding and Optimizing Relationships
A presentation by Emily for the San Diego NCGR (online or live at the Encinitas Community Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Dr., Encinitas, CA 92024, Cottonwood Room #120 [Emily will be presenting online])
Focusing on the Nodes in chart comparison provides an efficient lens into the evolutionary intent and higher potential behind why two people come together – as well as the karmic entanglements that may be present.
Starting with the premise that relationships are mysterious and multi-dimensional, rather than mechanistic, we’ll explore the evolutionary intent and higher potential behind why two people come together. We’ll examine how each party catalyzes growth and healing in the other, and the karmic entanglements that may be present.
We’ll also discuss how to navigate challenging dynamics, in order to create more successful and fulfilling connections.
We’ll work with example charts from participants to highlight the power and usefulness of the Nodes in synastry.
If you’re planning to attend and would like to have your chart and that of a family member, friend, or current or former partner used as examples in class, please submit your two sets of chart info ASAP. Submit info to shara.dc1@gmail.com
