If Mercury transits were reality TV, Mercury in Aries would be the season where everyone is loud, impulsive, and ready to throw hands at the first sign of nonsense. This transit does not do subtle—it’s direct, blunt, and about as patient as a toddler hopped up on sugar. It’s the astrological equivalent of shouting your order at the barista before they even finish saying “Welcome to Starbucks.”

Yes, Venus retrograde—the astrological season where love gets weird, money gets messy, and exes rise from the depths like zombies looking for closure (or something more sinister). If you’ve ever found yourself scrolling through old texts at 2 AM, wondering if that DIY haircut was a mistake, congratulations—you’ve already experienced the charming chaos of Venus backpedaling through the sky.
But here’s the thing: Venus retrograde isn’t out to ruin your life. In fact, if you know how to work with it, this cycle can be a powerhouse for magical recalibration. Instead of trying to force attraction and abundance, Venus retrograde asks us to pause, reassess, and get brutally honest about what we truly value. So, put down that love spell for now—we’re about to navigate Venus retrograde like a pro.

The New Moon in Pisces and the Wounded King: A Quest for Healing (and Sanity)
Imagine you’re standing in a barren land—cracked earth, wilted flowers, a riverbed so dry it looks like it gave up on life decades ago. Somewhere in the distance sits a king, old before his time, perched on a throne that feels more like a prison. He’s wounded, both in body and in spirit, and no matter what he does, he just can’t heal.
This is The Fisher King, one of legends’s most tragic figures. His wound is his curse, and because he is wounded, his entire kingdom suffers. Nothing grows. Nothing thrives. The land mirrors his pain.
This week, Venus decides to put on the brakes and throw a retrograde tantrum in Aries, forcing us all to take a long, hard look at our love lives, our bank accounts, and our questionable impulse buys. Meanwhile, Mercury is busy holding hands with Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, ensuring that our thoughts range from ‘deeply profound’ to ‘delusionally optimistic’ in record time. And to top it off, the Sun squares off with Jupiter, bringing an over-the-top energy that could make even the most rational among us bite off more than we can chew. Let’s break it all down, one day at a time.
Let’s talk about Venus. No, not the planet that’s out there twinkling in the night sky like a celestial flirt, but the force of attraction, beauty, and pleasure that she represents in magic. Venus isn’t just about romantic love (though she excels at that). She’s about money, luxury, art, friendship, and all the delicious things that make life worth living. Want to charm a room? Attract wealth? Bring a little more beauty into your life? You’re going to want to work with Venus.
