Venus Retrograde stations direct at 11 degrees in Capricorn after 40 days + 40 nights of deep underworld healing with Pluto’s influence.

While Venus was retrograde we were able to discover where our ego was at play and where it was running the show, where we were acting from our wounds, where we were to hard on ourselves and others, where we self sabotage in relationships due to our own fears around intimacy, abandonment, connection, rejection etc. and where we needed to dive deeper into love with not only commitment, but action and opening our heart even more.

We were able to see where we needed to repair our relationships, let go of old family line curses that affect our partnerships, body image and money.

Pluto was pairing with Saturn to show us that hard work, dedication and commitment is the only way to have the things we desire and that are worth having!

Pluto + Saturn came into to show us the shadows that we play with in money and how we get stuck in the stories of lack or even misuse and/or not responsible with our money/commitments.

It also showed us how we check out/shut down when things get hard and how we blame the outside world or even others when really we do not take responsibility for our own behaviors.

It also showed us where we are committed to the old stories in our lives instead of building the heaven on earth that we desire – that is right in front of us.

With Mercury Retrograde in the mix and all three inner planets (Venus, Mars, Mercury) being in Capricorn it is big energy helping us to build something solid and long lasting in money, love, health and prosperity.

Capricorn knew where our hearts were blocked and how it affected all areas of our lives and how we needed to deeply integrate to open our heart.

When we look back at the last Venus retrograde in Gemini we were taught to release the old stories around love and it was to release all the things that are keeping you from building what you truly want and desire.

This year we begin the year with Venus Retrograde and end the year with Mars retrograde – not to mention this is a six year and February is full of activations when it comes to love.

Both the masculine and feminine are getting huge upgrades to truly fall deeper into union, commit/love deeper, create more and really bring heaven here onto earth.
