Venus Turns Direct...Finally! 

On September 6 at 4:29 EDT Venus turns direct. Its been a long summer without her and I am so ready to welcome her back(or actually welcome her forward)!I don't know about you, but this particular Venus retrograde was definitely noticeable to say the least! Once every 18 months she slips into what appears to be a backward motion and I have absolutely been counting the days for the 6th of September.You may have noticed a theme of unfinished business and an almost sorting of karmic issues during the Venus Retrograde. Old friends and lovers may have made a reappearance. Venus also rules both money and beauty so the retrograde was not the ideal time to invest, buy luxury items or make any major changes to our appearance.The good news is that at last she is poised to turn direct very shortly. Our love outlooks should improve greatly...yesssss!!! The Venus~Mars alignment gives us a powerful desire for love and this is the ultimate aspect for romance, both new and improved. We will also experience almost ideal conditions for falling in love~ Swoon! ( insert fluttering, happy heart emoji)This is a great time for reflection on what lessons we may have learned since June. What have we accomplished? How does that speak to how we give and receive love? How far have we in fact really travelled?The Goddess of love has some important things for us to focus on... love, romance, the arts, beauty, money, sensuality and comfort. These are all things that she touches and in return she would love to see us experience everything she has to offer. We are wiser now. We all should ask ourselves what things we can do to make our important relationships stronger and how can we be a little more loving and kinder?Big Love~Shannonxoxo
