Okay listen… I meant to post this earlier. But you know… life. Retrogrades. Mercury in the corner chewing wires and glitching my entire life.And now Venus? She’s been in retrograde since March 1st, and she is NOT being subtle.
🌀 Venus Retrograde ends April 12th, which also happens to be the Full Moon. 🌕🔮Double the energy, double the truth bombs. Let’s talk.
🔥 Venus Goes Retrograde on the 1st Day of Women’s History Month? Oh, That’s Divine Timing 💃🏽📚⚖️
Venus said, “Let’s shake the table and light the candles.” Starting her retrograde on March 1st, the very first day of Women’s History Month, wasn’t just cosmic coincidence—it was divine choreography. ✨🪩
Venus governs love, beauty, values, and justice. She rules over women, femininity, relationships, and yes—the power to say enough is enough. So what better time for her to go into reflection mode than during a month dedicated to celebrating women’s strength, resilience, and legacy?
Shoutout to 3 historical women whose vibes are very Venus Retrograde in Pisces✊🏾:
It was only right for me to add some inspirational women that some of us may have never heard of. Women whose voices, actions, and legacies continue to shift the world. My hope is that learning about them inspires a deep dive—and maybe even sparks something in you to become more like them in your own way.
🌹 Audre Lorde – The warrior poet of intersectionality. She used her words like a sword, cutting through silence and giving voice to the marginalized. Lorde’s passion for truth, justice, and love of self fits the Venus in Pisces vibe so well it’s poetic. 📝💗
⚖️ Dolores Huerta – Cofounder of the United Farm Workers. She organized, she protested, she chanted Sí se puede! ¡(Yes, we can!). Venus in retrograde would 1000% back that kind of community-driven passion. 🚜✊🏽
💫 Marsha P. Johnson – Activist, trans icon, and powerhouse of joy and resistance. Venus rules over queer liberation and beauty—and Marsha was that magic. Her spirit lives on in every fight for LGBTQ+ justice and community. 🏳️⚧️🌈
This Venus retrograde is forcing us to re-examine love—not just romantic love, but how we show up for ourselves, each other, and the world we want to live in. 💞🌍 And yes, this blog is late—but Venus would want us to keep it real. 💁🏽♀️
Mars comes around and strandsover a long length of time, then begins to translate. Mars feels as though it needs to fight to protect because there are changes coming and whatever these changes are
Mercury is translation whats coming and is yelling

💖 What Is This Retrograde Even Doing?
We are aligning are values with our actions. Whatever it is were doing right now., =Venus retrograde isn’t here to ruin your life—she’s here to show you what you’ve outgrown. 🔍💔
She lays all your situationships, friendships, financial choices, beauty standards, and self-worth stuff on the table and asks,“So… do you actually want this anymore?” 💭
You might feel agitated, emotional, confused, or inspired—sometimes all in the
same hour. That’s not chaos—it’s alignment doing its job. ✅🧠
💔 This person? Not meeting your energy.💸 This pattern? Not building you up.🎨 This version of your beauty or identity? Not aligned anymore.
She’s clearing space for what actually fits your soul’s evolution—even if it stings at first.
🌹🕊️ Information, internet is turning off an on. Even whats going on with personal chars.
🌑 New Moon = New Intentions 🌱💫
This is deep soul inventory. 📓🔥
🌟 Ask yourself:
What do I actually want in my relationships—from others and from myself? ❤️
Where have I sacrificed my joy just to keep things peaceful? 🕊️
What have I ignored in the name of “love” or “harmony”? 🤔
Speak it out. Write it down. Burn what no longer resonates. 🔥This isn’t about perfection—it’s about alignment. 🧿💎
💎 Crystals to Work With 🌝✨
🌹 Rose Quartz – Softens & restores self-worth
🎨 Venus in Pisces = Time to Create! 🧵🖌️🌊
Venus is the artist—and when she’s swimming through dreamy Pisces, she’s whispering, “Create something beautiful.” 🫶🎭
Whether it’s starting new art, gardening, writing, or simply decorating your space—this is about feeding your soul in real ways. 🍵🌸🎨
I’m getting farm-fresh eggs straight from the chicken coop for $5 a dozen. 🐔🥚 A perfect example of community care. I’m doing what I can in a way that protects my peace and energy.
Venus is asking: Do you still love what you’re doing? ❓
This energy is hungry—for beauty, depth, and real connection. Don’t be surprised if unions and collectives start making noise. Venus doesn’t let injustice slide. ✊🏽📣
✊🏾 Solidarity, Beauty & Collective Energy 💜🌐
Venus wants you to stop pretending you can do it all alone.Start asking for help. Start speaking up. Start building your village.
I posted in my group asking for someone to take over the book club—because I can’t do it all. 📚✨ But just making that ask? That’s a step in the right direction. 💬
We need to be reading. Teaching each other. Coming together. These aren’t just spiritual downloads—they’re community calls to action. 🫂📖
“When we deal with sameness only, we develop weapons we use against each other when differences appear.”
⚙️ Saturn Sextile Uranus: Structure Meets Innovation 🔩⚡
Saturn = tradition, structure, long-term foundation.Uranus = revolution, breakthrough, total reimagination.
We’re seeing outdated systems creak under their own weight. It’s time for collective renovation. And no, I don’t mean just upgrading your iOS. 📱🤨
Ask yourself:
Who’s updating the roads?
Who’s deciding the system changes?
Are these updates progressive or just more control in disguise?
Saturn wants rules. Uranus wants freedom. Together, they say: change the rules—wisely. 🛠️🌐
🔥 Mars Gets Involved: Protect What Matters 🛡️🐾
Mars trines Saturn and sextiles Uranus, activating all this big-picture stuff personally. Mars = action. Movement. Willpower. And Mars is in Cancer right now.
Which means: It’s protective. It’s Mama Bear mode. It’s fighting for what’s sacred—family, community, the vulnerable. 👶🏽👵🏽🐾
This energy says:
“If I do this every day, will it matter long term?”
Mars + Uranus together = system shake-ups.Mars + Saturn = sustainable strength.
And yes—healing is part of this. The ugly part. The uncomfortable part. The crying-while-cleaning-your-altar part. 🧼🕯️
So if you’re feeling like things are cracked open right now? Good. That’s your sign you’re paying attention.
🗣️ Mercury Direct + North Node = SPEAK. NOW. 🎙️📢
Mercury stations direct—right on the North Node. From now through April 7, it’s like the universe is handing you the mic. 🎤
Say what needs to be said. Set the boundary. Write the blog. Start the convo.
Yes, Mercury retrograde was chaotic. My app literally got wiped. But when it came back? I was able to embed it directly into my site.
A crisis turned into a breakthrough.
That’s how this works. 🧠✨
This is the week to talk, to act, to listen, and to build.Ask your people: what do we want this to look like? Then co-create it.Because this world isn’t going to fix itself. But we can—together. 💞🌍🛠️
This really resonated with me! Especially, the creative energy part. I reached out and AM STILL reaching out to friends, family and acquaintances for input on an idea or several ideas, actually for a blog, book, meditation book or something! The energy came in fast an leaves fast, daily. Going from a flow of ideas and concepts to ..."OH well, that;s too much work, forget it." Then it comes again...the energy comes back and NEW ideas form! Not sure where this will take me but it's very NEW energy! Very exciting!
