From a Human Design lens...

Venus begins her backwards focus through gate 29.5 with the keynote of “over reaching oneself”. This is half of the channel of discovery and located in the sacral reaching for the G-center. This is all about “commitment” above anything else and the question to ask with this retrograde period is “What does my heart actually want to commit to?” “What do I want to say yes to or no?” Your “elixir” is the opposite end of gate 29 which is gate 46 “love of the body.” It is when you realize during this period that your body is a vessel housing your soul, and your goal is to love and nurture it…you will open your heart to a new direction in life!

With Venus in Leo during this retro period, get curious about where you have built walls around your heart with others. Where your fixed ways have stopped you from speaking your truth and dimming your inner light. In the end this will be about recognizing your own worth.

As Venus Retrograde casts its celestial spell upon us, it is essential to embrace the transformative potential within these astrological phenomena. Through self-reflection, relationship evaluation, and creative exploration, we can harness the energies that lie dormant within us, emerging stronger and more self-aware. So, let's embark on this cosmic adventure together and unwrap the mysteries of Venus Retrograde.

Remember, every retrograde period presents a unique opportunity for growth and reflection, allowing us to elevate our lives to new cosmic heights.
