Venus Direct

Posted by Maria Vaiano Sep 11, 2007

I for one am thrilled that Venus has now turned direct. It’s been a rough summer for many of us. Stalled romances, less money, stifled feelings and diminished powers of attraction are only a few of the complaints over the past few weeks of this Venus retrograde period. But since it has occurred in the sign of Leo, it truly put so many of us in the closet when it comes to an ability to freely give love. We’ve been afraid folks, very afraid.

It’s like our love nature turned into the Lion from The Wizard of Oz. We’ve lost our courage to love because we’ve been so busy looking behind us into the shadows of previous heartache or lovability issues.

But thankfully, on September 8th the Lion finally roared! It’s over! Yes, I’m taking it personal. You see, as someone with the Sun in Taurus I am ruled by the planet of love so Venus means a lot to me. I’ve been going through many deep transitions in my own love nature. This summer most of us spent a lot of time redefining love, me included. What is love? It’s an elusive concept for sure but that’s only because there are many ways to love and feel loved in return. What defines love to one person could be ridiculous to another, but who are we to judge another person’s needs? This was another lesson of the Venus retrograde period. Point taken.

And now Venus is shining brightly again, gathering speed as she uses the incredible power of inertia to charge forward again and help us assimilate all the internalization we’ve gone through about our romantic needs back into the real world. It’s time for us to feel worthy again, to feel beautiful and to give love. Are you ready?
