LunarOScopes, 27 March Aries New Moon, Let’s Carefully Begin

Posted on March 22, 2017 by Sharita Star

Your Feelings Are Powerful Allies

We intentionally create our lives through what we feel, which in turn, directly affects our thoughts as The Law of Attraction promises. Lunar energy from above is astrologically in charge of how the messages of our human emotions play out in precise timing, always offering us the chance to evolve down here below. As we honor our emotions, we can make them powerful allies in our lives- verses ignoring the truth, missing our opportunities, and neglecting to heal whatever they ask us to focus on.

Each month, a New Moon opens a waxing phase of initiating energy favoring creation until we reach the Full Moon, opening up a waning phase allowing for natural correction, reflection and release. LunarOScopes capture the forecast of these cycles indicating what is meant to begin or conclude, timing when and what specific area of life our Sun Sign benefits by applying our focus through feeling.

New Moon in Aries, 10:57pmEDT 27 March, Let’s Carefully Begin & Initiate
Waxing Phases favor actions involving planting anew and moving forward, as energy increases throughout one half of your Zodiac Pie from 07 degrees Aries until the next Full Moon at 21 degrees Libra 11 April 2017. This first New Moon of Spring is wrapped up in reflection concerning what wishes to start anew from Aries, as Venus Retrograde is right along side of it. The overall value of what is emerging will need to be carefully considered, once again requesting we take up in a silent listen to do so.

*This waxing phases aligns in equal reflection requests from Venus Retrograde that transits 04 March to 15 April.* This passage asks us to take pause within matters associated with values, money, finances, relationships, beauty, and luxuries. We are highly advised to be well aware of our intended actions for long-term success concerning them. Of equivalent awareness is that the Approach to 2017’s 2nd Mercury Retrograde also commences upon our New Moon. This waxing phase is wrapped up in the preview show of our Messenger’s coming attractions that will unfold changes, rerouting and plenty more requests for reflecting from 09 April to 03 May.

ARIES: It’s time to focus upon the new with who I Am.
It’s definitely time to be in the midst of reshaping your appearance, personality, and first impressions of the world. As you honor reconsideration of your approaches to life, concentration on what is essential to make self-change possible is what you are meant to be the most enthusiastic about.

TAURUS: It’s time to focus upon the new where I Process.

GEMINI: It’s time to focus upon the new where I Socialize.

CANCER: It’s time to focus upon the new where I Structure.

Now is the equal time you are revisiting the worth of your more recent recognition changes, and what kind of straightforward pursuits you’ll need to maintain your momentum after reflection is through.

LEO: It’s time to focus upon the new with what I Believe.
New educational paths await to be embraced, while it’s equally time to look back at old training, long journeys and how your philosophies shape you. Taking time to sit with your ultimate truth guides you to find your harmony by understanding what ideals you really should be devoted to for your growth.

VIRGO: It’s time to focus upon the new where I Transform.
As you incubate in rebirth, your most regenerative new moon of the year intensifies a deep core energetic reset involving surrender. Reflection is advised for any matters concerning your wealth, prosperity, and other people’s money so gather your information now to make important moves later.

LIBRA: It’s time to focus upon the new where I Relate.

Life at home and with family is in reflective changes, so make sure you are honoring them. Any aesthetic projects around the house should be on hold, and while ideas for improvement can be discussed, action is better to be taken later. Should any déjà vu show up, listen carefully to it.

AQUARIUS: It’s time to focus upon the new with what I Communicate.

LunarOScopes, 12 March Virgo Full Moon, Let’s Release

Posted on March 8, 2017 by Sharita Star

Your Feelings Are Powerful Allies

Full Moon in Virgo, 10:54amEDT 12 March, Let’s Release & Reflect
Waning Phases favor to let go, review, redo, and heal energetically throughout one half of your Zodiac Pie from 22 degrees Virgo (the final of 5 Full Moon’s to fall at this degree point since November 2016) until the first New Moon of Spring 2017 arrives 27 March at 07 degrees Aries. This lunation is grounded in transformation to allow us to powerfully work with surrendering to what we must change, in order to serve our lives for the better as our Universal 1 Year of 2017 continues to reveal its’ theme of embracing the new.

*This waning phases aligns in a double layer of reflection requests from Venus Retrograde in Aries/Pisces that transits 04 March to 15 April.* This passage asks for us to take pause within matters associated with values, money, finances, relationships, beauty, and luxuries. We are highly advised to be well aware of our intended actions for long-term success concerning them.

ARIES: It’s time to focus upon release where I Serve.
Reflection calls you to look at your habits, routines and service to self as well as others in this world. You’ll find your career and place in the public eye is happily involved, but if you cannot recognize that your service to self is what must change, you are resisting the value of taking on your life differently.

TAURUS: It’s time to focus upon release where I Create.
Completing creative current projects are favored, whether these be with children, brain-children or old love affairs. As long as you understand that these conclusions are in a deeper connection to help your belief systems regenerate in a new truth, your time to process it all in solitude will make more sense.

GEMINI: It’s time to focus upon release where I Nurture.
Allow your imagination to flow within your home life, involving some literal cleaning up around the house, or resolving any family matters. You find this allows for a positive space or you to feel a potent rebirth, as you currently are redefining what the future holds and the value of what you wish for.

CANCER: It’s time to focus upon release with how I Communicate.
Throwing out tired old ideas allows you to look at the brighter side of your peace of mind. Honor reflection for your mindset- great benefits are received from writing things down. Recognizing the ways your partnerships are involved in this, brings in further understanding to value your home life.

LEO: It’s time to focus upon release with what I Have.
Surrender to let go of possessions and material things you no longer need to value, possibly including a source of how your income is earned. This connects to the continuing transformation involving your habits and routines, as you learn more about revisiting the truth concerning what it is you truly believe.

VIRGO: It’s time to focus upon release with who I Am.
Time to let go of your old emerging self and the worn out ways you have been taking on the world. As changes speak to alter your appearance -when you do not doubt what you are creating or doing with children is your place of power- the rebirth awaiting for you in the wings is all the more valuable.

LIBRA: It’s time to focus upon release where I Process.
Honoring your solitude and working within serves your intuition now, so be committed to private time to heal in the purest of ways. Important messages arrive from your dreams. Recognizing the nurturing ways your home life is transforming, equally involves you honor reflection with those you relate to.

SCORPIO: It’s time to focus upon release where I Socialize.
Refreshing and recharging opportunities find you placing attention to reflect upon friends, groups and your future hopes and wishes. Say yes to unexpected invitations to get out in the world, as you find there is powerful peace of mind for you to align, so don’t miss the value of altering your routines.

SAGITTARIUS: It’s time to focus upon release where I Structure.
Your career and public life resets its’ recognition and rewards, as your responsibilities here find conclusions to arrive at as you prepare to let them go. As you look to see how much your earning power is positively involved in supporting a rebirth, revisiting old creative projects reveals even more.

CAPRICORN: It’s time to focus upon release with what I Believe.
Philosophies, beliefs, spiritual values, or learning you hold dear- ask to seize the opportunity to reboot their synthesis. As any long journeys or travel call, connecting the dots to further transform your immediate approaches to life continues- as you see more about the value of nurturing more at home.

AQUARIUS: It’s time to focus upon release where I Transform.
Recognizing genuine wealth is not only the luxury of your overall financial picture, allows you to embrace a powerful rebirth. As conclusions arrive from the depths of your core to let go and never look back, your solitude is necessary, which will take you back to old ideas you can still value.

PISCES: It’s time to focus upon release where I Relate.
Let go and reconsider who is the real deal concerning your partnerships -business or personal- for your responsibility to the future depends upon it. As agreements arrive at conclusions, be in careful consideration of any negotiations concerning your security or earning power, as it is under review.

Venus Retrograde in 2017: Redefining Humanity’s Personal Values

Posted on December 23, 2016 by Sharita Star

Venus at her Mirror, VELÁZQUEZ, Diego Rodriguez de Silva y

As our Winter becomes Spring in 2017, it will be a powerful time that will have us in the ultimate request to honor reflection.

Unlike her neighbor Mercury, it’s been awhile since our Idealist planet took some necessary time off. The last Venus Retrograde cycled 25 July to 06 September 2015 in the signs of Virgo and Leo.

Upon 04 March in Aries, the next cycle of review and redo commences for Venus that will conclude upon 15 April, moving back into Pisces by 02 April. If you are familiar with Mercury Retrograde, you already understand all too well the kinds of things that can happen under an inner planet retrograde.

What makes a Venus Retrograde different from Mercury?
All of our planets from above guide over different themes and concepts as their movement affects our lives down here below.

Mercury makes things move, communicate, permanently change, blossom, think and energetically circulate.

Venus allows us to relate one on one, be compassionate, find understanding, secure our values, intake our money, enjoy our pleasures, find our beauty and cherish our peace.

Both Venus and Mercury are inner planets, so when their Retrograde passages occur (Mercury every 3 months; Venus every 18 months; approximately) we are highly advised to take note about our future plans -personal or business wise- concerning what they are ultimately in charge of.

Venus Retrograde in Aries 04 March to 02 April
It is more than fair to say Winter ends as Spring begins with quite a demonstrative calling to take heed of the earlier Aries area of life, starting at 13 degrees. Venus on a normal journey through Aries enjoys impetuous, unrestrained and easily aroused energy, yet we’ll find, these qualities are not so readily available as she’ll be under review.

Being reflection, research and review are in order, initiating plans during retrograde for future harmony and balance are best to be avoided. The energetic pace will be inconstant and short-lived, where mental focus upon devotion to ideals will be extremely hard to reach. Being able to concentrate on the essentials equally will not be attained without difficulty.

Romantic adventure is also typically favored during Venus’s time in Aries. Whatever plans one may have to engage in it over late winter into early spring, they will find will also not work out as originally intended.

Venus Retrograde in Pisces 02 to 15 April
The final stretch of Venus’s cycle of reflection brings her to recharge what needs to be reset concerning emotion, compassion and understanding within the very last degrees of Pisces until she goes Direct at 26 degrees.

Energies will sway to becoming indiscriminate, abject and inert verses the norm of tender, devoted, yielding and peaceful. People will be compelled to re-examine the theme of self-sacrifice to better understand what is the genuine value of this very area of our lives.

How to Successfully Work with Venus Retrograde
This next cycle of review and redo from Venus is quintessential in such a universal new year as 2017 represents. As we are all asked to remember the value of Being the Light at this pivotal time in history, Venus offering her reflection from the regenerative 13 degree point at start of the zodiac in Aries back to the end at a connective 26 degree point in Pisces wheel indicates a profound and very powerful time of rebirth as well as healing and tremendous learning experiences for humanity at large.

This specific retrograde passage opens us to embrace a true redefinition of the value we place upon human life and our united view of being here. Coupled with the independent path we are personally on to be a greater part of the entire whole, March and April energetically reset us from the core.

The “RE Rules” Under Venus Retrograde: What To Reflect Upon
One of the Zodiac’s benefic and inner planets, Venus’s influence grants gentleness, ease, and strength wherever her graceful energy is currently visiting within the Zodiac Pie. Venus affects the collective’s values- as well as our earning potential, money, approaches to romance, and our abilities to tap into the feminine. As she decides to not “look where she is going,” the collective can expect the natural benefits of her energies to be up for review.

1. Beauty
All beauty improvements are off limits, for Venus while backtracking will, for example, probably turn original brown intended hair color into orange, you hate your new hair cut, or the house renovation color intended to be red might just turn out hot pink, by “accident.” Plastic surgery is a huge no-no during this cycle. Simply AVOID buying luxurious items, renovating the home, or any kind of beauty enhancement.

2. Money/Finances
You’ll equally notice a definite “drop in value” concerning financial affairs and money matters across the board. Venus Retrograde prefers instead of trying to “make money” under her reflective journey, we choose instead to reassess our situations and get ready for major moves later. Avoid any kind of luxury purchases is highly favored, as well as watching over-spending. Money investments with the intention of significantly increasing its’ value, can be complete future failures.

Venus Retrogrades essentially become buyer’s markets, as the victors are the ones walking away with the bargain from the seller who practically gave it away. However, the buyer may not have received the value they actually thought they were getting if the purchase involves those luxurious items. Past debts may equally surface, and these should be absolutely addressed. So, if you’ve got a money situation or a lingering legality that needs clearing up, this is a perfect cycle to focus upon solutions requiring your research.

3. Relating to Others
Relationships, especially brand new ones, should be carefully monitored over this time. Beginning a new romance or a marriage are not particularly favored courses of action. However, this a prominent time when old love affairs and people you once knew return: so have fun remembering, or realize why they aren’t an active part of your life anymore!

4. Your Personal Forecast
Wherever 13 degrees Aries to 26 degrees Pisces rests in your natal birth chart is the precise are of life that you’ll see an ultimate renovation going on 04 March to 15 April. Equally, potential natal planets that will aspect Venus’s Retrograde journey are important to understand to know how to make proper choices avoiding critical mistakes over this sensitive cycle. An ounce of prevention, is a sure pound of cure. And as Ben Franklin used to say, “Those that fail to prepare, prepare to fail.”

5. Appreciating Venus Retrograde Rewards
BE charitable with money, i.e. hold a fund-raiser for a great cause
DO scoop up any bargains! These are totally Venus Rx approved!
GIVE GRATITUDE for what you already own and who you already know.
REASSESS what’s worth appreciating: keep it or toss it!
REFLECT upon all your present relationships, business or personal.
EMBRACE falling in love all over again- or let it go!
ENJOY NATURAL BEAUTY by spending time outdoors.
TAKE IN ART & MUSIC Whether at a museum, gallery, performance, or through nature, Venus enhances our appreciation and understanding of it at this time.
REVISIT creative adventures already in existence, examine their progress and reflect upon ways to improve them.

The Approach and Shadow of Venus Retrograde
Every Retrograde passage has a “preview of coming attractions” as the planet crosses over moving forward, the exact degree point it will backtrack to called the Approach. We’ll start to notice what’s going to be in full reflection by 04 March as Venus crosses over 26 degrees Pisces on 30 January.

Every Retrograde passage has a “ironing out the retrograde wrinkles” time until the planet crosses over, moving Direct, the exact degree point is starts retrograding upon, called the Shadow. Whatever decision may have had to happen by no other choice under Venus Retrograde will have the opportunity to smooth out the fabric wrinkles through 18 May.

What’s Really in a Word? Venus Retrograde
Whenever a planet is actively in RETROGRADE within our Zodiac skies, it’s that necessary time when we are best to surrender, and know we’ve GOT TO REDO, and GO TO A GREAT REORDER. As our romantic and value-loving planet attaches herself to the retrograde title, how apropos the anagrams we can derive are able to spell out the truth through lexigrams of how we can reap personal rewards.

VENUS RETROGRADE

*GOT TO GO TO A TRUE TUNE: USE NO EGO TO EARN
*GO TO GO AND UNDERSTAND US, ARTS, REVENUES, AND OUR URGES
*GOT TO GO AND RESET AVENUES TO EARN AND SAVE NEAR
*GO TO SURE ADVENTURES TO RESTORE
*GOT TO RESTORE DEAR GENEROUS URGES
*GOT TO RETURN TO SAVE OUR TREASURES
*GOT TO REDO A TRUE TREASURE
*GOT TO GO AND REUSE TO RESTORE
*GREAT TRADER ENDEAVORS ARE VAGUE- SO DON’T DO ONE!
*TRADERS GO TO RENOVATE SAVED REVENUES
*TRADES ARE TENSE TO DO OVER A VENUS RETRO ERA
*REVENUES ARE TO UNDERGO A REVERSE AND RETURNS
*REVENUES NEAR GREED SEE SURGENT OVERTURNS
*GOT TO GO TO A SOUND GENEROUS URGE
*GO ON…GO TO NATURE AS ONE SURE RESTORE
*GO ON… GO TO A GRANDEST GREEN GROUND, A GARDEN
*GOT TO GO TEND TO AN OVERDUE REGARD
*GOT TO SURRENDER TO REENTER AND REGROUND
*GO TO NO REGRETS, AND SEND OUT GRAND REGARDS
*TONGUES NEED TO RESONATE A TRUE REASON
*NO GRUNTS NO GROANS, DO NOT GO TO DANGEROUS REVENUE ADVENTURES
*GOT TO GO ON AN ART ADVENTURE
*GOT TO GO TO GENERATE AND GREET GRAND GESTURES

Honoring A Cycle of Reflection
This time for reassessment within The Ram & The Fishes allows your understanding of the value of humanity to become redefined on a personal and collective level. Once 15 April comes to pass, the activity within these degrees points (13 degrees Aries to 26 degrees Pisces) of the life will start to stir and reap goodness- restoring personal harmony unlike any other in quite some time.

Remember, what is deserving of being healed here comes from the acts of review under the retrograde. So rest and reset 04 March to 15 April, then happily gather up your rewards later! Know, the grandeur may not be what you had originally anticipated, but what is ultimately meant to become simpler here, is the real value you’ll discover that is a genuine gift you’ve been patiently waiting for.

The USA & Venus Going Direct 31 Jan

Posted on January 30, 2014 by Sharita Star

Venus Goes Direct in Capricorn 31 Jan 2014

This is the “preview show” of what the USA can expect moving forward as the Grand Cardinal Cross alignment with our Leadership signs occurs over the dates surrounding 22 April 2014.

Center Wheel is the Natal Chart for the USA. Outer is the here and now upon 31 January as Venus is about to go Direct.

Note Jupiter, conjunct now on the USA’s natal Sun at 13 deg Cancer, of which the current transit of Venus and Pluto are in direct opposition of in Capricorn.

Venus has tried her best to bring in the understanding necessary over her review and redo period from 21 December 2013 to 31 January under Returning to Responsibility, Venus Retrograde in Capricorn to what value the USA has to recognize in order to change it’s approaches to life across the board. In the amazingly close quarters to Pluto right now, the death and birthing process is beginning to show itself stronger than ever before.

Venus directly opposes our country’s natal Sun, asking for these new approaches to balance what our relationship is to our partnerships and legalities within what we face as a nation. This 13 degree Capricorn turn around point is the precise one of ‘Regeneration – Change’ that the Grand Cardinal Cross coming over 22 April will also align at within all of our Cardinal Leadership Signs. Said the Chaldeans of the 13:

“13 is not an unlucky number, as many people believe. The ancients claimed that he who understands how to use the number 13 will be given power and dominion. The symbol of the 13 is a skeleton, or death, with a scythe, reaping down men in a field of new-grown grass, where young faces and heads appear to be thrusting through the ground and emerging on all sides. 13 is a number of upheaval, so that new ground may be broken. It’s associated with power, which, if used for selfish purposes, will bring destruction upon itself. There is a warning of the unknown and the unexpected. Adapting to change gracefully will bring out the strength of the 13 vibration, and decrease any potential for he negative. 13 is associated with genius- also with explorers, breaking the orthodox and new discoveries of all kinds.”

As with all vibrations of the 4, what you resist, will persist. Those who rise up and start digging the new earth up for humanities needs will prevail soundly through this upheaval to come. It is profound the calling for selfish behavior to cease, for those who remain within it will see the most intense destruction in history.

Applying this to the political landscape, and it is more than evident why the times ahead in this country will not be the easiest to witness. Remembering to remain centered in your personal space, mission and truly coming from a place of power that is birthed within the state of grace: this is how dominion will be granted to anyone as we move forward within 2014.
Never before in history has there been such a calling to let go of what no longer works, allowing the TRUTH to HURT, and witnessing how much it will set you free.

The USA faces an intense few years ahead, and if we thought the fire was already hot, the blaze is about to burn. However, if I can ever get one point cross that anyone might decide to take into consideration moving forward as a nation it is this: Consider the energy that Lexigrams -the way our words can spell out the truth- is contained within REVOLUTION…

UNITE IT IN ONE TRUE LOVE ROUTINE TO LIVE IT RITE OVER EVIL

When anyone in the world chooses to stop fighting, complaining, and blaming- and stand up in their human experience as a spiritual being of accountability to truly find the concern to be in solution seeking mode, they will have such a powerful NOW on their hands that they OWN and that my friends, is a victory we all will be guaranteed to have WON.

Brightest Blessings in Abundance. Namaste.

Returning to Responsibility: Venus Retrograde in Capricorn

Posted on November 26, 2013 by Sharita Star

21 December 2013 to 31 January 2014
Approach Began: 20 November 2013
Shadow Ends: 04 March 2014
While the very word “retrograde” scares the average star follower, bear in mind, Venus, our planet of love, harmony, beauty and luxury hasn’t taken a real vacation since June of 2012 when she was evening the score in Gemini. For the next few weeks as our Sun transits in Capricorn and Aquarius, Venus will be resting up once more. Even though we aren’t as warned to watch out for zaniness as we are under such inner planetary reflection as Mercury and Mars request of us- a Venus Retrograde brings us to a deeper sense of what we value within our lives, what’s it all really worth and how we truly relate to it all.

What To Reflect Upon Under Venus Retrograde
One of the Zodiac’s benefic and inner planets, Venus’s influence grants gentleness, ease, and strength wherever her graceful energy is currently visiting within the Zodiac Pie. As she decides to not “look where she is going,” the collective can expect the natural benefits of her energies to be up for review.

Venus affects the collective’s values- as well as our earning potential, money, romance, and our ability to tap into the feminine. Beauty enhancements are off limits, for Venus while backtracking will, for example, probably turn original brown intended hair color into orange by “accident.” Relationships, especially new ones, should be carefully monitored over this time. Beginning a new romance or a marriage are not particularly favored courses of action. However, this a prominent time when old love affairs and people you once knew return: so have fun remembering, or realize why they aren’t an active part of your life anymore!

Wonderful Ways To Appreciate Venus Retrograde
BE charitable with money.
WATCH over-spending.
AVOID buying luxurious items, moving money to increase its’ value, renovating the home, or any kind of beauty enhancement.
DO scoop up any bargains! THIS is totally Venus Rx approved!
BE GRATEFUL for what you already own and who you already know.
REASSESS what is worthy of appreciation: keep it or toss it!
REFLECT upon all your present relationships, business or personal.
EMBRACE falling in love all over again- or let it GO!
VISIT ART! Whether at a museum, gallery, performance, or through nature, Venus enhances our appreciation and understanding of it at this time, and while in Capricorn the older, the better.
REVISIT old creative adventures and reflect upon ways to improve them.

Where To Responsibly Reflect: 28 degrees to 13 degrees Capricorn
This is the specific area of our Zodiac Pie that will be calling for a passage of reflection and review. Collectively, this retreat within The Goat specifies that we take a slower and patient pace here, and dive into what this sign requests when it comes to developing our self-reliance and eliminating our unwanted restrictions. The calling for constant, sincere, protective and challenging affections ask for necessary attention, so that we can recognize all the ways improvements can be brought into our awareness.

From the collective perspective, the simplicity of knowing your sun sign is a great place to start while we all take up in value-oriented review. Here is one area of life where you are best to focus, taking time in retreat- to admire, weight the pros and cons, and then eliminate what is not worth the effort any longer. Equally, there is another area of life you are also asked for reflection within by knowing your Rising Sign/Ascendant, as the time of your birth provides this detail. Yet, we do always advise, have a professional astrologer do your math for you -i.e if your ASC is placed in the later degrees of any given sign, you’ll typically want to read for the sign after your ASC- for complete accuracy.

Aries: I Structure Career/Public Life/Opportunities

Taurus: I Believe Philosophies/Foreign Travel/Education

Gemini: I Transform Core Regeneration/Sexuality/Wealth

Cancer: I Relate Partnerships/Marriage/Balance with Others

Leo: I Serve Health/Being of Service/Employees/Pets

Virgo: I Create Creativity/Children/Love Affairs

Libra: I Nurture Home/Family/Emotions/Environments

Scorpio: I Communicate Thinking/Mentality/Communications

Sagittarius: I Have Values/Earning Power/Possessions

Capricorn: I Am Approaches/Mask to the World/Motivations

Aquarius: I Process Inner Psyche/Clearing of the Past

Pisces: I Socialize Innovations/Friendships/Organizations

Take these personalized areas of the life and see where you are asked to reflect upon Venus’s backwards journey. Releasing at this time what is no longer of value to you or seemingly worth it from the particular area of life that Venus Retrograde is calling for your review, is extremely favored.

We will stress again to remember no matter what sign you are, any creative endeavor involving the new in the areas of beauty enhancements, (i.e. redecorating, home improvements, haircutting/coloring, cosmetic surgery, etc.), tend to not go over well. Have you any already underway or unfinished creative projects, this passage will grant the perfect time to revisit them. Some of the most amazing artistic endeavors can find their way to a harmonious completion under this passage.

Dealings in the financial areas of life are especially wise to delay any major decisions for long-term success until after 31 January 2014, (but remember again Mercury goes Retrograde within days upon 06 February until the 28th, so it’s will definitely be a “tricky” start to 2014). Venus Retrogrades become buyer’s markets, as the victor is the one with the bargain, but they also may not have received the value they actually thought they were getting at the time. Past debts may surface, and these should be addressed. So, if you’ve got a money situation or a lingering legality that needs clearing up, this is a perfect place for focus and solution seeking research.

The Approach and Shadow of Venus Retrograde
Be aware that decisions made as Venus started her approach -on 19 November while going Direct from 13 degrees Capricorn until Retrograde motion begins 21 December- are equally involved in this time of reflection. Once Direct on 31 January, the shadow will prevail until 03 March when Venus returns to 28 degrees Capricorn, offering the opportunity to adjust any important decisions that may have had to be made while in Retrograde. Decisions will be rather challenged as our Universal New Year begins, as our first Mercury Retrograde of 2014 runs 06 to 28 February, and then Mars Retrogrades 01 March to 19 May. As approaches, shadows, and retrogrades will all intersect and overlap, our inner planets will be practically screaming from above to reflect and reassess like we’ve never done so before.

The Cardinal Axis Calling For Restructure
How We Lead In Life Beckons for Change
This Venus Retrograde is quite involved with what else is going on within all of the leadership signs within our Zodiac skies. With Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Cancer, Mars in Libra, and Pluto in Capricorn, she is in close contact with all of these planets under her time of review, which calls for us all to further recognize just how much the world is changing in dynamic ways. As current transits within our leadership signs have a strong presence to change our direction, the intense calling presses on to wake-up the collective to become more aware of what we’ve thought we’ve understood and have been comfortable with is not what it once was.

By the close of Venus Retrograde, she and Pluto will be in the form a conjunction (same sign, same degree points), as she will be one degree away as Pluto will be at 12 degrees Capricorn. This intensity will unravel quite the surge to bring in some overturns, so expecting transformation is wise to do here. Emotions will be running high, and karmic experiences will be prominent within Capricorn. Let’s put it this way, you’ll see quite the regenerative energy unfolding where The Goat affects your life as Venus stations to go Direct by the close of January.

Uranus will be at 09 degrees Aries, which will cause some tension as a close square forms (90 degree, cornered, blocked in energy) from where The Ram pioneers within our Zodiac skies to Venus’s turn around point. When we look to squares as ways to formulate a new structure rather than view them as stagnant and blocking: use this to tap into some true intuitive gifts that will wish to unexpectedly inspire between the Aries and Capricorn slices of life (the entire calling right now of the ongoing Pluto Uranus Square Dance). Be sure to avoid erratic reactions, for as Venus Retrograde concludes, you may find a difference has displayed itself as far as what your natural routine has been between these two areas of your life.

Abundant Jupiter -also under Retrograde in Cancer- opposes Venus and Pluto, expanding our learning in another reflective tug from across the way at 12 degrees by the time Venus turns herself around. While Venus and Jupiter aspects typically enjoy financial gain, the warning here becomes even stronger to watch extravagance and excess under this period, because the opposing energy between Venus and Jupiter is when they are both in Retrograde passages. Exactly as Venus goes Direct, Jupiter directly opposes Pluto, promising to unveil further intensity between Cancer and Capricorn involving unfulfilled desires, rebelliousness, arrogance and prodigal experiences.

Motivation from Mars in Libra -who starts the approach to his Retrograde (01 March to 19 May 2014) shortly after Christmas- will be moving earlier in our Venus Retrograde passage, as his direct square occurs upon 16 January to Venus while both planets are at 18 degrees of their respective signs. Demonstrative energies will display themselves between Libra and Capricorn, stimulating that we seek to resolve any inconsistencies between these two areas of our lives, and discover more passionate ways to find the means to more simple pleasures.

Lexigrams and Venus Retrograde
What’s really in a name or title cannot be left out of this retrograde understanding. Whichever planet is actively in RETROGRADE within our Zodiac skies, it’s that necessary time when we are best to surrender, and know we’ve GOT TO REDO, and GO TO A GREAT REORDER. As our romantic and value-loving planet attracts herself to the retrograde title, how apropos the anagrams we find that can be phrased to spell out the real truth of how to reap reward and stay in true tune with her request to revisit how we earn, understand and relate as we return to save our lives.
