Hello Everyone and Blessings!
We have had an interesting week! We started with a power house of energy and have ended it with Venus going retrograde!
What is so special and important about the retrograde motion anyway? It is really an apparent motion of speed. A great example of retrograde motion is when two trains are passing one another at different speeds. At a specific time, it looks as if one train is going backwards. So it is with the energies or planets in relation to the speed of our planet Earth. As a planet slows down in speed, it looks as if it is moving backwards.
The astrological interpretation of retrograde motion, lends to revisiting or going back over circumstances.
Venus happens to be the current retrograde energy, as of Friday October 8, we are now expressing to do over. So the energy stays in a particular area (represented by astrological houses in a chart) of our lives for a specific period of time.
It is has been my observation, retrograde planets and the signs they are in, are also expressed, opposite from what they are. For instance, right now, Venus is in the sign of Scorpio. Venus love, desires and Scorpio is passion and intensity. However, we may see Venus, while in retrograde, express more like Mars (opposite of Venus) and Taurus (opposite of Scorpio). Is that also good for money? Oh YES! Both in receiving it and spending it!
We can see if this is true at 11:55 AM EDT until 3:15 PM EDT as the Moon will be conjuncting (new beginnings) Venus. This will activate Venus in the retrograde motion for the first time since Friday.
Venus may actually end up expressing itself in a more assertive way as well as finding an easier way to do things. In fact, it could end up being a more of a Mars kind of day as the Moon will also activate this aggressive energy in the evening about 6:20 PM EDT.
I welcome any questions and comments.
Have a great weekend and see you on Monday!
Be kind to yourself and remember to
PARTY WITH THE STARS!

That's interesting, Betty. I never thought about a retrograde planet expressing itself like the opposite energy, but that makes sense. One of the things that makes your readings so special, is your unique perspective on the stars, and how they affect us.
