musings on Venus retrograde

My first blog post--and I want to thank you Michele my dear friend for your "About Me" for me-----you are a Gift!
Musing on Venus for these past few days-----in retrograde and soon to appear in the pre dawn sky as Morning Star Venus----the memories that flash across the screen of old lovers--old friends---places i have lived in in the past--- feeling for an instant that i am there----money coming and going and coming again! letters and photographs---looking in the mirror and asking "is that me?" is this Venus retro----is Venus doing some kind of mojo? or am I more aware because I know Venus is retrograde? the unknown---the Mystery of astrology----we know it works, but not sure How. Is it all just to make one aware--we are only measuring one little particle of the Universe---and what if we didnt have a name for Venus---she was just the brightest Star----? Would we give her Power to another---? Who would be our Love Goddess?
and would another work? do the job?
What is the power of retrograde? Venus only appears to be moving backward from our perspective---but surely her Power has intensified. Why is the past returning in such lovely fashion? Many who are born with Venus in retrograde hold on tenaciously to what they have fought for and finally feel they have won---earned--- and that same energy is abundant now---allowing one to say oh yeah "thats me!" Are we happy with the image? Venus retro gives us the go ahead to make changes---to Remember. Long ago an Enlightened One--an Astrologer! looked up at the heavens and saw the brightest Star---and named her Venus---the Goddess of Love---and her energy came alive! that is the Way--
More later on Venus/Pluto--and the coming conjunction of Venus and Mars--the Lovers.
