Venus Roaring in Retrograde
Doechii is our paradigm shifting Venus rx inspo
It was eight years ago, to the day, that Venus in Aries took her leave from the world of men. Dipping her heaving heart below the horizon and disappearing from our sight, teeth gnashing and body electric twisting in untamed fury at the state of the world and the treatment of the feminine.
A rapist had been installed to lead the free world, snarling disrespect and joking about his exploits. He got in anyway. What passed as power defiling the feminine without whom no one would exist. Women marched in droves, howled in protest and the Me Too era was born. Men shifted uncomfortably but clearly not beyond their own self interest.
Our Lady of Love's annual retreat has returned once more to this petal in her heavens and what has changed since then? Venus' pentamic journey through our skies again delivers a gutful of reformist and revisionary influence to worlds hungry for change and furious at the assault on those whose hearts ring for love not money.
Whether we like it - or still ignore it - we live in non consenting relationships with systems, tech and tyranny that does not serve us. The world screaming and pointing at dinosaurs with dicks who will take us all down in a tussle of egos, or die trying. Divesting from the game is the only way to invoke fresh inception.
As Venus withdraws to contemplate, revise and thus reinvigorate all that tickles and tugs at our hearts this us about far more than avoiding the ex files or changing your lewk. Venus rules those areas of our life that bring us pleasure - or her counterbalance, pain - and which reflect our values, desires, taste and attractions. Her retrograde is part of a far larger revolutionary agenda marked by two lifeshifting eclipses, another retrograde as Merc shifts perception, and the move of our blue planet to this same fire sign.
We are being initiated, fired up like spark plugs and called unequivocably to our part in the revolution of humanity. What did you do when the world was burning or drowning? Who did you rise to defend or sink to protect? What changed in you and rose like a star ready to be seen and heard and counted?
Venus wants to know. Now. And she's taking names.
