Our tagline has changed as we support and practice the art of being human

Improving Life through Self-Awareness and Conscious Action

One practice is regular and thorough self-reflection.  Every 19.2 months Venus, the planet of relationship, values and essential needs, has a Retrograde cycle which encourages this deep look within.

This time it is in the water sign, Scorpio. More thoughts about the significance in our emailed Quarterly Newsletter.

Venus Retrogrades happen every 584 days. Every 8th year, Venus returns to the same sign. Sometimes awareness can develop through looking backward at previous retrogrades.

What was happening back then concerning intimate or contractual relationships, for example? Or in other areas of life that have a tendency to have more emotional focus, intensity or control.

With the New Moon in Libra and Full Moon in Taurus, both Venusian signs, this promises to be a valuable time period in the area of human relations.

The current Venus in Scorpio Retrograde cycle began in 1962 and ends in 2050 had 12 ‘hits.’

• October 1962, 1970, 1978, 1986, 1994, 2002, 2010, 2018, 2026
• September 2034, 2042, 2050

This PDF chart lists Venus Retrogrades from 1900-2100.

Wishing you masterful results.

Soon, even this month, Daniel Fiverson, returns to explore natural archetypes, with a look at another water sign, Cancer, along with its counterparts, the Moon and 4th House. We are delighted to present an article from Daniel, an Evolutionary Astrologer from New Mexico.
