Our opportunity to RE-EVALUATE all themes related to VENUS started Sept 3 ending Dec 17.

At that point we should be in a much better place with regard to all domains ruled by Venus:
love, friendships, relationships, qualities that define women and femininity, creativity, artistic sense, beauty, the Arts, esthetic taste, likes and dislikes, our desires and what gives us pleasure, our core values, our inner-ressources and talents, self-worth, money and the financial markets.

 In order to best experience this period of time, we need to be aware that it is calling for us to re-evaluate, re-value all matters of love, relationships and relating.

• We need to review our likes and dislikes, our esthetic tastes, our desires and our values.

• We need to re-assess our gifts, talents and our inner ressources. We may face challenges that help us grow in self-worth, self-estime.

• We need to learn how to not only give but especially receive.

•  We need to look at how we earn, spend and save our money.

We may feel pressured to re-define some aspects of women's roles, rights and affairs in society and women may privately feel called to think about their femininity and their positioning as females, mothers, wives, lovers, daughters etc.

 Certain unbalanced relationships are put to the test so they may become more truthful and honest. Some may come to an end (maybe painful) but looking back, we will understand it was a liberation and we are better off for it. Some relationships will come out of this Venus retrograde period renewed and strengthened.

Any type of relationship (love, parent-child, family, at work, in everyday life) are put to the test wherever Venus is traveling in our sky.
Venus retrograde brings back to the surface, to light, issues that may have been buried, put under the rug or on the back burner to be re-examined, re-looked at.

 This is also a time that facilitates reconnecting with old friends, acquaintances, people we have had a relationship with in the past. Those connections may be helpful.

Humans are social animals needing to relate and belong. During this Venus retrograde period that occurs every 2 1/2 years, we get the chance to grow in all our relationships, including the most important one, our relating with oneSelf.

Thank you.  I choose to smile.  All my love, Corinne Cévaër-Corey
