So Venus retrograde began on October 3rd, and again, will end November 13th.

And we've been in it for a bit, though.

The, the pre-retrograde shadow did start at the end of August, and some people are more affected by the shadow period.

But Venus retrograde is interesting because it does affect our day-to-day because Venus is one of the personal planets.

But I personally don't find it as...

Chaotic sounds like the bad word because, again, there's no bad astrology.

There's no fear-mongering astrology here.

Um, but I'll just say I don't find Venus retrograde as chaotic as Mercury retrograde, even though both Venus and Mercury are personal planets.

Um, Venus retrograde will have us all evaluating, reevaluating the themes that Venus rules, which are our relationships, that can be romantic, our family, our friendships, our money.

Venus also rules money and beauty.

So our spending habits, our, even our business relationships.

Sorry, back to relationships.

Venus rules relationships, money, and beauty.

And, you know, I think, again, like, this is a time of reflection on our relationships, all kinds.

Again, I'm gonna say it, friends, family, business, romantic, otherwise.

That's why, you know, I'm sure a lot of the pop astrology online talks about an ex coming back, but I feel like that's so simplistic, [laughs] you know? Um, it's, it's so much deeper than just about an ex or a past relationship.

It can also just be past relationship patterns, things that you're ready to release.

Um, this Venus retrograde is currently in Scorpio.

It will be moving into Libra.

So if you are a fixed sign, the Scorpio, Aquarius, the Leo, or the Cardinal, Libra, Capricorn, Aries...

Oh my God, I'm missing one of each.

[laughs] Hold on.

The fixed signs, Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus.

Thank you to myself.

And then the cardinal signs, Cancer, Capricorn, Libra, Aries.
