Venus Retrograde Cazimi ♡Horoscopes♡
Venus Rx & Lilith join the Sun in an intense conjunction in fiery Leo, copresent with the moon. This stellium in Leo combined with Venus Rx conjunct the sun ripens the energy for powerful cosmic unfolding. (Cazimis in astrology occur when a planetary body is in a close conjunction with the Sun.)
The goddess of art & beauty & the goddess of independence & rebellion are copresent in the sign of illumination. the cosmos encourage you to shine your authentic light without shame or apology. you are a divinely designed, powerful being of magic & miracles. protect this magic fiercely. embrace it fully.
Lilith is also stationed retrograde in Leo, reviewing the lessons she's learned about self-empowerment, being a leader, and being seen. Visibility can elicit anxiety because everything is revealed in the light. sometimes we're more content in the darkness; it's easier to ignore or pretend in the darkness. when you're in the spotlight, you cannot hide. there's no reason to hide. express your unique divinity.
The grief and shame we harbor stem from our inner beliefs about ourselves. When we believe in our innate worthiness-- that we at our core are precious, safe, and deserving of love-- shame suffocates & withers. When we believe in our innate unworthiness-- that we are inherently bad, must be fixed, & bad things happen to us because we're bad-- we fertilize shame & it thrives, blossoming flowers & bearing poisonous fruits.
I want to take this opportunity to write about addictions. People become addicted to various things: overworking, gossip, food, shopping, drugs, alcohol, fantasy, travel, etc. You are addicted to anything you use to regulate your feelings. If you feel like you need it to feel normal, to function, you're addicted to it. The homeless person on drugs and the workaholic CEO of a thriving company are a lot more alike than they are different-- they're both hiding from themselves behind something.
It is a courageous feat to acknowledge your shame. It is bold to confess that you are insecure. It can be a sacred act of the most profound love to simply tell the truth. Drop the masks, stop performing. Don't worry about what others will think of you. How do you think of yourself?
Horoscopes: read for your Moon, Venus, & Lilith signs
Aries: Destruction is essential to reconstruction. Sometimes an entire forest burns to the ground, erasing all life, & yet in hundreds of years a new forest thrives there. You are the Phoenix rising from the ashes. True love is in the fire, the ashes, the old forest, the new forest. It isn't an end result.
Taurus: Simple. Stable. Why can't it always be so? These changes bring you closer to yourself. They inspire you in ways your regular degular doesn't, and in ways that are necessary for your growth. Open up to these changes, this growth, & you'll be surprised how fast you fall in love with them.
Gemini: There's nowhere to escape to. If you look closely, there's nothing to escape from. Frolic through this labyrinth, don't worry about being found. Welcome to yourself.
Cancer: There's a hole in your heart. You must not try to fill it. Allow it to be hollow, let things pass through it. Make friends with this void. Play with it. Your lovers will, too.
Leo: You are the star of the show. That means the tragedy happens to you. The good things happen, but not without a dramatic plotline. Keep your chin up & your heart full of childlike wonder.
Virgo: What do you want? What if we got really specific? Journal all your thoughts & feelings, write letters to people whom you have intense emotions toward: an ex, your crush, a relative, a past/ future version of yourself, etc. How do you really feel? If you took a second to meditate on your feelings, I'm sure you'd notice you feel love.
Libra: Sober up, beloved. Your third eye's vision is blurry. What you avoid confronting still exists & it will demand attention eventually. Now is the time to nurture your sensuality & manifest with precision; firstly you must get clear on what you want.
Scorpio: Tension restricts your flow of energy. The intensity of your emotions is your greatest gift & the highest form of cosmic power. Numbing yourself is a hindrance to your growth. Step into profound intimacy, penetrate deep within your own heart, opening it up to experience love, grief, joy, sadness, rage, & peace fully.
Sagittarius: The secret is to embrace the poetry of your sensuality, invite the wondrous sensation of profound emotion into every part of your life. make loving your life's work.
Capricorn: It seems like you're learning the same lesson over & over again. Your internal beliefs keep you from love in alignment with your truest self. Those beliefs are not truths but you hold them as such, pushing away your truths of love, tenderness, sensitivity, and embracing a falsified self who is purified of these "shameful" attributes. keep living a lie & you will only be loved as a lie.
Pisces: Fantasy isn't reality. Potential isn't quality. Limerence isn't love. It's a challenge to ground in the present instead of escaping to fantasy, but love requires realness. Real love demands that you live in reality, love in reality.
