Venus Retrograde 2007

Thom's Drums: VENUS RETROGRADE 2007

Upon July 27th our placid and harmonious planet Venus enters retrograde motion at 02 degrees Virgo and returns to direct motion at 16 degrees Leo upon September 8th. If you haven’t scheduled some downtime this summer Stars, now’s the perfect moment to truly relax into the Summer of ’07, as Venus enters a 42 day retrograde period. No need to fear, as there couldn’t be a more perfect time of the year for Venus to ask us to take time to do reassessments in the area of life she affects. Venus, is one of the Zodiac’s benefic planets, one whose influence grants gentleness, ease and provides strength wherever her graceful energy is directed. The prevalent qualities of Venus during any given retrograde period thus results in her typical benevolence to be impaired and diluted. Venus affects the collective’s values, earning power, money, romance, and our ability to tap into the feminine. As Venus now retraces her recent steps until September 8th, the collective can expect the natural benefits of this transit while in Leo to be a slight thwarted. Being aware of stinginess, insincerity, unsympathetic actions, and egotistical reactions over these next few weeks is highly advised. Dealings in romance and the financial areas of life are ones that should be carefully monitored over this time, as this is especially a wise time to hold off any major decisions for the long term in these areas until after September 8th. So it’s time to apply the RE’s of any Retrograde period such as RElax, REflect, REdo, REassess, you get the picture. Just like we are advised to do when our other benefic inner planet Mercury is in Retrograde, this period points to the reworking of the affects Venus casts upon us. Yes Stars, that means the Universe is providing us with a recess to do some of that necessary inner work that keeps us going at optimal energy the rest of the time. The Leo ruled house in the individual birth chart points on a personal level to where a reflective approach is best applied over this time. The Leo governed area of the life is where Venus asks for pause, while being alert to operating from any kind of carelessness. The more REassessment that is done in this area, once Venus goes Direct again, will ensure the optimal flow and compassionate blessings to flourish handsomely after September 8th.
