Today’s Big Events
Venus Stations Retrograde: Having begun a journey into dark Scorpio, Venus turns on a heel and decides to spend even more time indulging in fantasy, mystique, and discovering delight. We experience this retrograde as a releasing of even more inhibitions, and we fully embrace the sides of ourselves that are attracted to the Dark Side. This might mean we literally spend money on things we obsess over but typically don’t indulge in. It also means we tend to re-open chapters in relationships that we thought were once closed.
