Hi, Pisces!

Welcome to your VENUS RETROGRADE 2023 Walkthrough/Cheatsheet!

VENUS, turns Retrograde this year, from July 23 – September 4. With her usual tumble to to retrograde land, which roughly happens only every 18 months, everything Venusian is on centerstage! Expect challenges, frustrations, excitement, and opportunities for long-term growth especially when it comes to LOVE, MONEY, and BEAUTY.

Bago ang specifics let’s start with general reminders for all:

❌AVOID scheduling any kind of cosmetic procedure! Regrets are highly likely!	✅INSTEAD, Use this period to really research, asses and revisit your plans, para sure talaga. Best to wait until after September 4 to have any procedures!
❌AVOID getting married or getting engaged. ‘Wag din mag start ng bagong relationship, during this period.	✅INSTEAD, wait until after the retrograde to commit to anything, para sure na clear, smooth and lucky ang energy for any kind of relationship.
❌AVOID making any drastic relationship decisions (Personal or business). Hindi dependable and emotions natin ngayon, and what we think we want is likely to change after the retrograde.	✅INSTEAD: Put decisions off until the retrograde is over. ‘Wag makipag hiwalay, or maglayas, or mag-alsabalutan, kasi malamang, hindi mo mapaninindigan ‘yan.
❌AVOID taking risks with your physical appearance. ‘Wag mag experiment with drastic hairstyles or try a new stylist, or anything new with your appearance . You are likely to change your mind when Venus goes direct!	✅INSTEAD: Maintain the status quo for now, regarding hair or clothes.
❌DO NOT purchase expensive items or accessories kagaya ng alahas, watches, sapatos na mamahalin.	✅INSTEAD: look for bargains kasi people tend to give up things of value during this period. Always compare first with other sellers, ma-pa mall or online. You are prone to buyer’s remorse, so better safe than sorry!

Now, with that out of the way, let’s go to how this cycle may affect you personally!

The 6th House

Pets ,Daily Chores, Craftsmanship, Health Issues, Daily Routines, Unequal Relationships, Service, Volunteerism, Workplace  & Co-Workers, Perfection & Proficiency, The Mind & Body, Connection, The Necessity of Boundaries , Staff, Hired- Help, Employees

Venus prompts you to re-examine you daily work, and your relationships with people that you work with, making this a period of reevaluation regarding your career choices and over-all job satisfaction. It can be a time to reassess your goals, ambitions, and the overall balance between work and personal life. Is there joy and love in the way that you work, or gusto mo ba yung trabaho kaya lang hindi kayo jive ng workmates mo, so hindi rin masaya ang pakiramdam? Issues around this will surface during this time, and conflicts may arise that will make you realize important things about relating to another, especially to those that you see and work with on a daily basis.

The need to be close to or perhaps to even fall in love with someone from work may also surface, as office romances tend to bloom during this time. Baka matagal na ‘yang feeling na yan, but this period will really push for you to act on it, or baka mag intensify siya. Medyo work-love conflict din ang peg for some of you, kaya be careful kasi mahirap mag-away, maaapektuhan ang trabaho!

The 6th house is associated with health and well-being too, and Venus retrograde can bring attention to overlooked self-care routines, diet, exercise habits, and overall lifestyle choices. Health issues may pop up so we can have the opportunity to regulate and manage what we can, leading to a better connection between the mind and the body. Addressing any imbalances or health concerns can lead to improvements and a renewed sense of vitality.

Aspects Formed

July 27 – 29: Venus RX conjuncts Mercury. This is a potent blend of communication, reflection, and revisiting matters of love, relationships, and beauty. This alignment encourages deep conversations and expressions of affection but also calls for a review of past romantic experiences, unresolved issues, and reassessing values. Malalim and very honest and mga usapan ngayon, pero very fruitful naman. It’s important to approach this period with patience, open-mindedness, and careful communication, as misinterpretations and challenges in relationships may arise!

August 8 – 11: Venus Rx squares Uranus! Expect a period of unexpected shifts and tensions, particularly in relationships, personal values, and finances. Uranus, the planet of surprise and rebellion, may bring sudden changes or revelations in your relationships, leading to potential shake-ups (or breakthroughs)! Financial pitfalls are possible too, causing unexpected expenses or changes in your cash flow. Yung iba naman makakaramdam ng greater need for independence and individuality in relationships. Be aware that this transit can lead to impulsive decisions, especially in love and financial matters!

August 26 – September 4: Venus Rx squares Jupiter! This transit indicates a time of tension and introspection regarding values, relationships, and aesthetics, complicated by a desire for growth and expansion. Venus rx demands that you reconsider your personal or romantic relationships and your values, tapos Jupiter naman encourages a broadening of horizons. Nakakalito din, and these conflicting energies might lead to overindulgence or feelings of imbalance. You might want to explore new opportunities (Jupiter) but feel held but feel held back by your current reassessment of your relationships (Venus). Emotional expectations din may not pan out, so manage your expectations for now and take everything with a grain of salt!

Other Areas Affected by Venus Rx:

Venus rules 2 houses in your chart, dear Pisces. In a lesser degree, Venus moving retrograde affects these houses too. Expect slowdowns, misinterpretations and possible frustrations in these areas of your life:

3rd House: Siblings, Language, Logic & Reason, The Mental Ego, The Concrete Mind, Extended Relatives (Aunts, Uncles, Cousins) , Early School Experience, Local Neighborhoods, Local Travel & Vehicles, Certifications/Accreditations, All Forms of Communication

8th House: Taxes, Loans, Banks, Investments /Joint Resources, Other  People’s  Money, Partner’s Finances, Merging with Another, Commissions, Transformations, Regeneration, Inheritance, Death, Renewal, Secrets

As Venus begins moving forward again, you’ll experience a greater sense of clarity, self-acceptance, and a deeper understanding of what truly matters in your relationships. Kung may mabigat na pagsubok, mag kakaroon din ‘yan ng resolution as Venus turns direct and moves further away from the retrograde period.

Stay strong, dear Pisces! May you find inner strength, courage, and meaningful changes during this Venus retrograde. Embrace this period as an opportunity for personal growth, and may you come out of it with a heart filled with love and a hopeful attitude, ready to embrace new opportunities with a new, healthier perspective on life and love. Have faith in your capacity to navigate this, and never forget that the universe is on your side! ❤

GOOD LUCK, PISCES! you got this! ❤
