Venus Retrograde in Aries (March 1st - 27th):

This transit emphasizes self-worth, autonomy, and speaking your truth. It's a time for revising how you approach relationships and desires. Be mindful of impulsiveness and reactionary tendencies. Aries' fiery energy can bring up anger or passion; channel it constructively. Address relationship dynamics, including trust and loyalty issues. Examine your own honesty and accountability. Old lovers or past relationship patterns may resurface for review.

Venus Retrograde in Pisces (March 27th - April 12th):

Venus finds its home in Pisces, enhancing artistic expression, spiritual connection, and emotional sensitivity. This transit can bring a mystical, even elusive, quality to love and relationships. Be aware of escapism or tendencies towards delusion. Focus on acceptance, releasing expectations, and trusting your intuition.

This period of revitalization and rebirth invites us to redefine love for ourselves. It's a time to consider how we want to express love, both to ourselves and others, and how we experience it in our lives. This retrograde cycle offers a mystical and cosmic renaissance of love, a chance to revitalize how we connect with ourselves and the world around us.
