Venus Retrograde – Into The World Within

As Venus turns retrograde on October 6th, 2018, she will retract her energy from the outer projection of relationships and take us into the deep inner realm of our relationship to ourselves – She will ask us to penetrate to the core of our unconscious attachments, needs and desires, to carefully examine our emotional ties with others and process through the layers of our externalised dependencies and projected needs. This is a time of total inner re-evaluation.

In this article we would like to offer you some awareness and guidance to support you in this journey, as you navigate the deep waters of your inner world.

Understanding Venus in Your Birth Chart

When we look at the Venus archetype in our lives, we are connecting to the framework of our essential needs. At the base of our needs is the sense of survival and it is here that we begin to build upon what we individually need to survive. Everything in nature has this creative intelligence that supports the interaction with others.  Venus helps us build the awareness of how we connect with our inner sense of reality, and reflects the natural relationship we have with ourselves. Our essential needs are then formed by three layers: our primal drive to survive, our awareness of our unique needs in relation to our drive to survive, and the conditioned psychological relationship we have to the first two layers.

Astrologically, Venus has a co-rulership with the signs Taurus and Libra. Taurus reflects the inner subjective vibration of Venus while Libra reflects the external interactive side of Venus and how we meet other people. This dynamic is what establishes the relationship patterns in our lives. We initiate and attract relationships to grow and we determine who we form relationships with, and who we do not, through the context of the Venus energy.
