The Good Side of Venus Retrograde

Venus makes us reflect on values, that is, the foundations on which we stand, what we consider to be important. During retrogradation, we can rethink our scale of values ​​in a way that improves our lives. For example, work is great, but living for work is not.

Events, such as, for example, a dismissal, for not getting along with a boss, of a person addicted to work, can lead to a reflection on the balance of values ​​in life. Suddenly, she will reflect on her exaggerated dedication to work.

But the opposite, that person who is very accommodating and who therefore has an unsatisfactory standard of living, can also be an object of reflection.

Another point is that, even though it is not easy, it can be a learning moment in relationships. If you’ve been making a mistake in a friendship, bond or romantic relationship, or even missing something that’s important, you may have a chance to rethink about them or balance standards.

And the way your self-esteem is is also a Venus theme. Being more aligned with your personal value, in a balanced way, can be a positive balance if there has been inner work.
