We experience a retrograde cycle when Venus “overtakes” Earth every 584 days as she orbits the Sun. During this cycle, Venus changes from the “Evening Star”, visible after sunset, to the “Morning Star,” visible before sunrise. Because the movements of Venus appear to be discontinuous (disappearing due to its proximity to the Sun for many days at a time, then reappearing on the other horizon), some cultures did not recognize Venus as a single entity; instead, they assumed her to be two separate stars on each horizon. Venus has domain over the inner guidance mechanism, also known as our intuition, guiding us into right action when an open heart and a loving mind are combined. Venus has a very particular retrograde pattern, going retrograde in only 5 signs ever: Gemini, Capricorn/early Aquarius, Leo/early Virgo, Aries, and Libra/Scorpio. She produces that visual we see by going retrograde in those 5 different signs over the course of every 8 years. It’s beautiful, isn’t it? It is during Venus’ retrograde that she shifts back and forth from morning to evening star. She begins her journey as an evening star, and after the inferior conjunction between Venus and the Sun in the middle of her retrograde cycle, she disappears for a while and reemerges as the morning star just before she goes direct. This inferior conjunction begins a new cycle of heart-centered awareness that comes out of the Truth that is revealed by the Light AND the Dark interacting with one another. This Retrograde she Retrogrades in Scorpio a Water sign of feeling or Physical love. The Scorpio quality of consciousness is very deep and alchemical. Then she Moves to into Libra the sign of Highest Realization. During this Breathspace we will use our breath to feel into the depths of Scorpio the full volume physical, mental, emotional, spiritual spaces of our being to form a deeper intimacy with what this Venus Retrograde Cycles calls forth in its review through breathspace, and radical honesty.
