Venus retrograde was anticipated to be a wild ride with lots of unexpected turns and dips, but I must say... I'm shocked. Nothing that I thought would happen, happened and that is amazing. I was so afraid of the potential of past people coming back to reign hell that I didn't even consider the goodness that could come from such a planetary event. No one and I mean, no one came back. I ran into no one even in the places that I expected to. That all put my heart at ease, especially given that Mercury retrograde was doing it's thing, as well. During this time I was able to go within and really focus on what's been lost in terms of love, friendship, and togetherness. I've been craving for companionship for so long but due to my panic disorder and anxiety disorder, I haven't been able to make companionship a reality but instead of looking at this as a negative, I decided to use this time to dive deeper than I ever have before. I worked through so many of my insecurities that have been bothering me for years in the matter of a month or so. My determination knows no bounds once my gears get turning.
So, what did I learn? I learned the importance of deepening my existing relationships and connections with those I adore, rather than being so hyper-focused on making new connections. Yes, I'd love a large group of women to hangout with but that doesn't mean that I should neglect those who are already in my life while I pursue something new. I learned that my past dating experiences do not have to dictate my current experiences. Not everyone that I meet will be a reminder or reflection of the past and that's something to be proud of. This lesson also helped to remind me that I'm not the same person that I was before. I'm a completely new and improved me thanks to all this self-work, therapy, medication, and my community. I no longer have to fear the same outcomes that I once did and even if I do encounter them, then I know that I'm more than prepared for what is to come. I want to give a huge thank you to this retrograde season because I have learned so many valuable lessons that will carry me for the rest of my life<3
What did you learn during Venus retrograde? I'd love to hear all about it below.

I'm hearing the saying "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." The tools that you need are right in front of you, but it's up to you to take hold of them and get to creating. There will be more resources available to you this month, so take advantage of this. Right now, you are building and building certain structures takes time, so give yourself the time needed. Remember your breathing. Stretch. Relax your body one motion at a time. This month may be more tiring than the last but for good reason. Be open to new experiences.
Taurus Leo Scorpio Aquarius
You've been busy these last few months keeping things afloat, not only for yourself but also for certain loved ones. You're a beautiful person with a beautiful heart. What you're doing is nothing short of a miracle but please don't forget to take care of yourself. You're important, too. Your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health matters, too. Try to remember not to put yourself on the backburner from now on because you need to give yourself the same love and care that you give to others.
Gemini Virgo Sagittarius Pisces
Balance is going to be very important this month. Balancing between your personal life and your work life. Balancing your relationships and trying to make time for everyone when you already have little time for yourself. Make sure that you're listening to your body because it will signal you when it needs rest. Overworking yourself is going to burn you out and as you know, burn out is difficult to recover from. Don't feel guilty when you need to take breaks or sleep in.
Right now, I'm hibernating. I'm deeply tired yet I miss what I do, so I figured I'd write. During eclipse season, the best thing that one can do is surrender. Surrender to the unknown, which isn't always an easy task. It can be a real battle and not everyone who enters that battlefield makes it out unscathed and that's why I've decided to put the sword down and r e s t. My fifth year business anniversary is coming up and traveling down memory lane is allowing me to come to terms with how hard I've worked and how much I've accomplished. I'm tired for a reason, a good one at that. I always get in the habit of thinking that I don't know enough but reflecting on my journey is helping me view myself and my business in new and exciting ways. I'm beginning to feel less limited and limiting. A wave of confidence and inspiration is washing over me and it is life-changing. I'm falling in love with myself all over again and it's a beautiful thing. This is all thanks to myself, my loved ones, and the divine. I'm so grateful.
Gemini Virgo Sagittarius Pisces
The help that you need is all around you but you have to speak up about your needs and worries first. Handling every single thing alone is exhausting, so I know that you have to be tired. Rest is being highlighted for you this month. Get lot's of rest, remember to stay hydrated, and do your best to take care of your body in all the ways that it requires right now. It's time to end a friendship or connection with someone for good. The person who you always feel nauseated around because they give you a weird vibe. Trust your intuition because it's right.
Taurus Leo Scorpio Aqaurius
You may find yourself wanting to indulge in more of life's pleasures. This is a good thing but try not to go overboard. Overspending is being highlighted. Protect your resources and be responsible with your money. You don't need it all and somethings can wait. Someone around you may be using you for what you can do for them financially. They like the gifts and the perks of being linked to you but they don't like you as a person. Proceed with caution and remember to go where you are wanted, not where you're tolerated. You're worth more than that.
Aries Cancer Libra Capricorn
Separation can be a good thing and it's something that is needed in your life. It's time to take a step back from a person, place, or thing. You probably already know what or who this is about. This may even be about quitting a longterm job due to mistreatment and lack of opportunities for growth. No job is worth your sanity. You may get a call from a place of employment that you applied for last year and forgot about. This call will come with an offer but it's up to you to decide whether you want to accept it or not. Remember that when one door closes another one opens.
Rebranding was the easiest decision I've made in a long while. One day, I woke up and I realized that I was no longer resonating with my business, my business name, or the inner workings of things. From the outside looking in, things probably look the same aside from the name change, but there's so much internal work that is being done. My dream is to run an even more successful business while building a strong community of like-minded individuals, but what has been holding me back are my insecurities and fear of failure. In a lot of ways, that's what My Venus Soul began to represent: fear. Everything began to feel isolating and pointless and it wasn't something that I could shake. I went from enjoying my business to feeling so unmotivated that I kind of just stopped what I was doing. I was at a crossroads. Quit or continue forward were my two options to choose from. I was honestly leaning more towards quitting until I saw a collective reading that I posted on Instagram a year ago. The collective message told me not to quit and to instead take a break. A much needed break. I had been running My Venus Soul since early 2020 and I can't think of a time when I really took an actual break. I was feeling the way that I was feeling because I was beyond burnt out but once I realized this, everything began to change. Through rest, I was able to reignite my passion and drive for what I do. I was also able to identify what insecurities were holding me back and where they were stemming from. It's been a beautiful yet challenging experience but hey, that's growth. Now, onto why the name change, I honestly don't have some deep reason for it. My Venus Soul no longer resonated with me or my business model, so I put her to rest for good. When coming up with The Golden Venusian, I just went with what felt right. I'm a Taurus rising, so I'm ruled by Venus, so I have to keep the Venusian theme going at all steps of the way haha. Everything else just kind of fell perfectly into place. I'm in alignment again and that makes me so happy. I am fulfilled and my cup is overflowing.
