The End of Venus

We have been going through yet another retrograde. This time it is a Venus one which has to do with love objects; those with a pulse and those without. I myself found it a time of confusion. Let me give you an example. I went to gas up the car which I have been doing for most of my adult life. Could I get the car on the right side of the pumps ? I could not. Round the islands I went each time with the gas tank on the wrong side. Talk about dyslexic! If anyone had been watching they would have laughed. Maybe they were, I was too upset to notice. How Venus comes into this is we need to really focus in her retrograde on what is dear to our hearts and what we love to do and who we love to be with. If there is friction in any of these areas it is asking for us to do some repair work on ourselves. "What is true. What is not true. What can never be true." is how my astrologer put it. The end of the Venus retrograde is August 27 though the energy lingers into the beginning of September. In this time we are to let go with love those people in our lives who need to be free of us and we of them. Tall order, as our egos fight to hang on to the safe and familiar. That sentence was remarkably hard to write. Poor little ego is hanging on for dear life! I am not sure when the next cosmic hoohaa erupts but I will keep you posted. The computer is misbehaving and as I have neither the skill nor the patience to deal with it this little blog will come to an end.
