Venus Is In Retrograde, Do You Pay Attention to Astrology?
For the past few weeks I have been feeling a little off. I’ve been all up in my feelings, reflecting on my life and love, and have been in a bit of a funk. In the middle of yet another emo weekend, I realized it didn’t make sense. My professional life is going well, my friends and family are supportive, and my money—interestingly enough—hasn’t been funny for a while. From the outside, things seem to be clicking on all cylinders, but still…something was off.
Yesterday, a friend expressed the same thing. She was unusually sensitive and emotional. And despite things in her life going well, she just didn’t feel particularly happy about it all of a sudden. Instead of blaming her mood on Aunt Flo, she mentioned that Venus was in retrograde and after I Googled what exactly that meant, it made sense.
In short, Venus in Retrograde is said to affect our relationships and money. The Huffington Post explains:
When Venus goes retrograde, we tend to reassess matters of the heart and finance. It’s a great time to evaluate whether you are conducting relationships in a way that really works for you. It’s also a good time to review what you have recently done, thought and felt about others — including those closest to you. And, others might be doing the same about you.
As a Gemini I was pretty familiar with the effects of Mercury in retrograde, but Venus was a different animal. Apparently Venus in retrograde affects Geminis the most, and takes a toll on Sagittarians, Virgos and Pisces as well. But it’s not all bad. While Venus in retrograde may have had me feeling a bit sensitive, it’s also a great time to reflect on what is and what isn’t working in my life.
While I’m not a stickler for astrology, I do pay attention to it and have noticed that when things change, shift, or go into retrograde, my mood changes as well.
How about you? Have you been feeling “some type of way” lately? Do you follow astrology?
“Aunt flo”
geez, how old are you?
My mama don’t even say that no mo’
I have mixed feelings about astrology.
I have been feeling cranky, sensitive, weepy, and just yesterday, I realized that it had been a long time since I was happy. I think I might even be unhappy, but I don’t know why because on paper, everything in my life is going great…and those unhappy feelings are so sudden, because if you had of asked me this 6 weeks ago, I would’ve said that I was feeling great.
Astrology is whack. My horoscope is usually so far off the mark, it’s ridiculous. I pretty much feel the same everyday.
*This whole thing of someone expressing their feelings or talking about their emotions being labeled as ‘in their feelings’ bothers me a great deal.
Definitely into astrology and yeah I have been feeling some type of way lately.
So this explains it! LOL…I’ve been reassessing everything in my life and it felt as if it came out of nowhere.
I don’t have an opinion either way about astrology, but sometimes it does seem on point.
