Venus, the planet of romance, comfort, art and beauty is direct again from September 4, 2023.
Though the Venus Retrograde (planet appearing to move backwards when seen from Earth, thus not giving the most desirable results) has ended, the effects may take some time to wear-off.
You may have in the recent past felt easily hurt, angry aloof and also caged in your relationships or even your job. It is now time to focus on the lessons learnt from what must have been an emotionally challenging period.
It is natural to feel sadness for the end of something. But was that something comforting you when you were low or stimulating you to achieve greater heights? If the answer is no, then it is time one moves on.
We must also applaud ourselves for coming out of a tough situation. What helped us feel better? Whether it was joining a new place, a supportive friend or listening to classic songs with scented candles, we need more of it.
5 things you can do right now-
- Explore your artistic side.
- Enhance your appearance.
- Find creative ways to earn more.
- Be around loved ones.
- Re-align your life to make it more harmonious.
Jupiter goes into Retrograde. What can we do?
Right on the heels of Venus getting direct, Jupiter goes into Retrograde till 31st December. Jupiter is the largest planet which represents wisdom, abundance, and growth.
When Jupiter goes into retrograde (appearing to move backward), we must focus on internal growth more than external growth. Understanding this becomes even more important as Rahu (the North Node), responsible for illusions and chasing things is also sitting with Jupiter.
Jupiter is currently Retrograde in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac and ruled by fiery Mars.
Positively, Aries can be daring, enthusiastic and driven.
Negatively, Aries can be impulsive, impatient and insensitive.
We need to channelize the Aries energy and passion, to work not just on projects but also our own shortcomings. It takes courage to change ourself for the better.
5 points to note-
- Re-assess your greater life objectives
- Do-not overspend, specially as Venus has become direct
- Learn from past mistakes and missed opportunities
- Overcome certain limitations of your own mind
- Growth never happens overnight, so patience is key
If you do all these, you will surely ring in the New Year as a much wiser person and manifest abundance.
