♡‧₊˚🕸 Make Venus Retrograde Your B*tch ‹𝟹 ∙ 🕷

On March 1 2025, Venus - the planet of love, beauty, money and relationships will be going into retrograde </33 (I know, I just sighed too)

This period, known as Venus Retrograde (aka Venus Rx) is associated with challenges in love, self-worth and finances (as if we weren't suffering enough 😔😔). It also has a reputation for causing emotional turmoil BUT it presents the opportunity for all of us to do some self-reflection, healing and transformation to enhance your personal growth

Firstly, I know you're asking what on earth is Venus Retrograde? Is is like Mercury Retrograde?

Well, yes. Like Mercury, Venus Rx is when the planet looks like it's moving backward in the sky. This causes a disruption in the usual flow of relationships, finances and aesthetics. During this time, love, beauty and values are the 3 key themes that will be re-examined. This makes it a period for introspection rather than action. Ex-lovers may appear (HEY DON'T GET TOO EXCITED I SEE U SMILING), self-worth issues surface (Pink candles please save me) and financial habits are tested (brb spamming Fastest Money now)

HOWEVER, this also means there will be a rise in miscommunication and turbulence in your relationships. Your exes might be coming back to finish some business (hehe >:)) or you might be working through some unresolved emotions (WHEN WILL IT END??). Your finances might be a little slow or you may face some unexpected expenses (time to break into the piggy bank </33). You might also feel a lil low on the self-love or you might find yourself questioning your own personal beauty (me and my self-affirmations will be working overtime). Last but not least, my people who deal with creativity, you might be dealing with some blocks (damn it)

THIS DOESN'T MEAN IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD THO! Yes, Venus Rx is going to stir up difficult emotions BUT it offers you a powerful chance to redefine your relationships, finances and self-worth

Try these journal prompts to reassess your love and relationships:

- What patterns do you notice in your past relationships? What lessons have you learnt from them?

- You can also do some shadow work to address any lingering emotions from past relationships so you don't carry them with you into the future

Another thing you can do is to revamp your self-care & beauty rituals

- You can do a self-love ritual/spell with rose quartz, honey, rose petals and our Charged Pink Candles

 Instead of trying to drastically and dramatically change your whole appearance, focus on skincare, natural beauty and self-appreciation.

- This doesn't mean 'don't wear makeup' but instead means 'make sure you're not wearing makeup to hide your naturally beautiful self'

- Another thing you can do is do a wardrobe purge and get rid of items that no longer align with your evolving self-image

Don't forget to also rethink your financial habits

- Use our Charged Green Candles paired with Fastest Luck & Fastest Money Oils (or if you have any of our limited edition money related oils they work too!) and set your intentions for financial stability and wise investments

- Track your expenses and eliminate and unnecessary purchases

- Refinance, consolidate and re-evaluate your financial obligations so you can clear your debts

And for all my creative girlies,

- Strengthen your creative energy by reconnecting with old projects. This means working on your unfinished creative work rather than starting something new

- Meditate with emerald, rose quartz or rhodonite to align yourself with Venus's energy

- Imagine your ideal creative/financial future, allowing the retrograde to refine your vision

Just remember, Venus Rx isn't here to ruin your life, it's here to teach you to refine and instead of resisting, flow with it's energy by embracing self-reflection, patience and personal growth. When Venus Rx ends, you'll be stronger, wiser and more aligned with what truly brings joy and fulfilment into your life <3
