        version of Self to the world, as it tends                evaluate and assess the stability of our
        to threaten those closest to us and                      resources on all levels. As we grow and

        risks rejection from previous                            experience life, the things that have
        social/cultural alignments no longer                     greatest value for us change. What

        to fall into self-doubt in response to                   likely to be very different from what it was
        such reflections. As Venus travels                       five years ago. Value systems must evolve

        retrograde, we have the opportunity to                   with us, and every so often, it is important
        assess and work on our own level of                      to adapt our goals and pursuits to

        self-worth as it is measured by the                      accommodate the upgrade. This might

        people who value themselves do not                       perception, like the awareness that you are
        align with others who don’t. They                        no longer drawn to collect antique dishes,

        assume that they are worthy of love,                     or a particular color pallet that no longer
        respect and support from others, and                     pleases your aesthetic, so it’s time to

        Venus retrograde is an excellent time                    from that job you’ve grown to hate. Alone

        I choose to fill my life with people,                    drain of meaningless social engagement. If
        things and activities that bring me joy                  resources like freedom, time, peace of
