Hello everyone and Bright Blessings. I hope most of us had a good New Moon that recently went by this past 7-15-2015? I refrained from doing any ritual work, I was in somewhat low on energy and felt like I was not in the right mood to be beginning any requests to Powers that Be. Lack of sleep and two energetic Gemini children pretty much zapped any time and energy I might have put into beginning anything hugely important. We are also still adjusting to the move even though that was almost a month ago.
I have already had one unpleasant incident concerning one of my neighbors, when her live in partner decided to turn his lusting eyes and abhorrent attention on me and attempted to come over to my door and sneak and try his luck behind her back of which I put a very quick end to. I have no patience or tolerance for games and intrigues and the shady intentions and behavior of a "player" that cannot keep himself in check. It is also rather annoying to have a very immature young girl on my doorstep attempting to assert her idea of dominance and control towards me about "her man" as if she had some justified and imperious right to do so and it took quite the effort on my part to be civil and polite and cooperative towards her rude and intrusive behavior right in my space. Never mind how badly I wanted to let the barely contained, not so nice, "precious pet" loose and let the other part of "me" be revealed. It is quite the effort and task to keep a massive, black, sharply scaled guardian calm enough to remain invisible and to remind it that it has to behave itself. I ended up with a ugly tension headache all the next day.. using that much energy and exerting that much self control is exhausting and sometimes causes adverse reactions in the human body because "normal" bodily functions have troubles with adapting and coping adequately to the massive amount of energy it takes to keep that type of creature relatively calm and contented.
So for anyone hasn't read up on any astrology related subjects recently, the planet Venus is about to go into retrograde on the morning of Saturday July 25th and will remain so until September 6th. This will not be a good time to form new romantic relationships, get engaged, plan a wedding, go on a hot date with a new love interest, or anything else related to the love and passion department. Venus also rules over monetary matters so some of us may see a dip in the flow of money and financial matters will slow down. Some of us may see a decrease in sales, commissions, royalties, even take a cut in paychecks or salary, or work hours may decrease, as in from having full time to suddenly going to a part time schedule. You may also find yourself socializing less and spending more time at home or in less crowded and low key social settings. If anyone were to be planning for a romantic getaway I would suggest holding off until after Venus goes back into full swing, after September 6th and even better would be October 9th as she will be back in peak form by then. Any love or passion themed spells or rituals cast during this retrograde phase may not go as intended either. It is not a good time to try and bring love into your life, so attraction spells and anything of that sort is best to be left alone for now, you may get what you think you want only to find you made a mistake or that it becomes a disaster.
Instead this retrograde period will be a good time to reflect on what we need in our lives for ourselves, and to mend and heal old wounds from past heartbreaks and betrayals from previous lovers and intimate relationships. A ex partner may come back in our lives and we may need to set them straight and even discuss why it is we no longer need or want them in our lives anymore, or it maybe that the ex partner may wish to reconcile or settle old differences and start anew.. Seriously contemplate this decision and comb carefully over every single detail of pros and cons of why it may or may not work out before making a final move on this. If that old flame from 10 years back comes around asking about a good time just for the fun of it.. tell them NO and send them packing! If the ex partner or friend comes around seeking to make amends and you actually see proof that there will be a positive and transformational change, then proceed, but make absolute sure there are no doubts or nagging feelings of mistrust.
The phrase "Heal Thyself" seems to fit well for the next few months, as we work on processing and eliminating "baggage" and toxicity in our lives that weighs us down and prevents us from being better and doing better for ourselves. We also have to stop clinging and holding onto things and people from the past out of fear and insecurity of what may or may not happen if we actually let it go and step away from it and them and actually try to move forward with our lives. If you don't do it yourself, well Goddess and God and Higher Powers will step in and cut those ties for you and from my own personal experiences, very often they are not "nice" about how they go about it, they have a sometimes harsh and exacting way of handing down final action that will result in the transformation that They see needs to happen. You can choose the easy way and step up and do it yourself or have it handed to you the hard way. Procrastination is not your friend this retrograde phase, stalling for time and grasping at straws will be useless and futile. Let changes happen as they will and allow what isn't serving a meaningful purpose go. If you have to shut your eyes and cut those ties with trembling fingers.. and your voice stutters, stalls and squeaks in apprehension and fear, that's ok.. no one said you had to be the stoutest of warriors, what matters is that you picked up the scissors and made the final cut. I have to go for now my lovelies, as this witch's work and tasks are never ending. Blessed Be and have a good week!
