venus retrograde 2025 reflections
Venus is currently retrograding in Aries, and she will also retrograde back into Pisces until she goes direct mid April.
Venus retrogrades are a ripe time of reflection when it comes to your relationships: how you love, who you love, and who you are in love. Venus also has a particular affinity with women.
When Venus is in Aries, she is willing to fight for love.
But which love is worthy of the fight?
She’s not afraid to be alone; to brave the fires of passion and demand more. Every woman could touch this in herself and be supported.
Venus in Aries is a woman who knows how to birth. Knows how to bring forth life and change. Isn’t afraid to leap into the unknown of the new. She pioneers her way through life; leaving a fiery trail of permission behind her.
She is an initiatress; a huntress. Boldly going after what she desires. Desire is a flame that burns for her.
Venus in Aries wants relationship and wants her autonomy. She is a leader. She isn’t comfortable compromising. Her independence an asset and sometimes a hindrance to connection.
She is a bold lover who will say it how it is; do it her way, impulsively, and think about the consequences it will have on you, later.
It doesn’t mean she can’t be responsible or collaborative. But it does mean that her independence is a fire that must be kept burning in order for a relationship to flourish.
When Venus is in Aries, she teaches us about a love that is rooted in our own sovereignty.
A worthiness that does not settle. A love that is brave and willing to take action.
She also teaches us about where our independence could be overblown and affecting our ability to collaborate and relate.
As Venus traverses the underworld of Aries (and then also Pisces), she can reveal to women where we have forsaken our boldness for the social niceties of being good and polite.
Where we have sacrificed our independence in order to belong. Where we have given away our creative power and how to get it back.
As Venus transits her underworld journey, women will be asked to examine their relationship to boundaries (Pisces) and the flame of their own desire and ability to act on it in order to bring it to life (Aries).
This is an exceptional time to examine what you want and what keeps you from getting it. As well as how issues of independence and codependence arise in your relationships (and where you might be out of balance with regards to either/both).
Venus in Aries can be a breath of fresh air for some women that enables them to focus on themselves, for once. Putting themselves boldly first in their own lives.
