Venus goes retrograde about every 18 months, with the last period in Pisces spring of 2017, and now she continues her journey going retrograde in another water sign, Scorpio. Last time she went retrograde in Scorpio was 8 years ago in October 2010. Her rhythm is perfect.
A person who yearns for power before cultivating love, often falls. Or shall we say crashes? The hunger for power is based on our survival instinct in one form or another, but love, hey! that is a whole new level of existing.

endless wars.
We hold on as if we were afraid that if we let go, we’d be ejected straight into space and start orbiting a distant star, far, far away. We fear letting go just as much as we fear truth, and it is for the same reasons. We think it is hurtful for us.
We can translate these energies into being caught inside a womb of life that is poisonous. Global PTSD is now out in the open, we are no longer living in denial. Could this be it? The big awakening?
Scorpio’s dark side is the individual completely ruined by desires and run by the excesses of the lower nature. The high road of Scorpio is s/he who welcomes death with open arms, knowing very well that nothing but the spirit lives forever.
