Venus retrograde In Leo: Love As Sin.
"Love is the original sin, and the only sin we never learn to regret." - Oscar Wilde
Venus, the planet of love, is responsible for our ability to love, lust and assess the right berries to eat in the wild. Venus is also responsible for dramatic romance movies and TV shows since it directly governs over seduction, attachment and the drama of unrequited love.
Like any planet, when it is in its retrograde cycle, it is a period where we have to rethink about, relive and re-assess how it functions in our lives and how we could emerge from it.
This retrograde, however, is particularly interesting since Venus stationed when it was conjunct Mars after chasing it in the sky for quite some time, it is speaking about a complete change in our dynamics in relationships especially after a long time of one party attempting to make it work.
Since Venus stopped, started to move away from Mars and is about to join the Sun later which will constitute a complete turn of events in most relationships, Venus retrograde is posing many questions about desire, attachment, lingering resentment and lack of satisfaction in our lives.
Venus and Mars often get paired together when we talk about love and their connection this season is remanent of past connections that we find where magical, painful and incredibly difficult to forget because there was never closure and this retrograde speaks to closure we desperately need coming soon..
