January 29, 2022—Today, Venus stations direct in Capricorn after a month and a half in retrograde. We are now ending an acute period of introspection and recalibration around love, finances, values, and injustice. As this period ends, we can pause and ask ourselves—

What insights and maturity have we gained? How have our values shifted or clarified? Where have we freed ourselves from stuckness in our relationships and finances?

As Venus stations, Mercury is conjunct Pluto. Part of this pivot involves accepting hard truths. We’ve been meeting our shadows and rising from the ashes, stepping into higher elevations of thoughts, speech, and communication. Deep healing is possible if we become more honest with ourselves, facing our traumas and mistakes with courage. We can take greater responsibility for our mental states and interactions with others so that we may elevate our relationships and lives.

Mercury is still in retrograde until February 3, and our work isn’t over. But as Venus stations, we can breathe a sigh of relief. We are emerging with more integrity and lucidity, better prepared for our journeys ahead.

Looking ahead, Mars and Venus will conjoin in February. We can apply what we’ve learned internally to our external worlds as the gods of love and sexuality ignite in a passionate dance of renewal. Our hearts will continue to awaken into action. There’s so much more to come….
