Venus retrograde from 15º26’ to 5º16’ Aries until April 17The beginning and ending degrees are symbolized in the Sabian Symbols by “Nature spirits are seen at work in the light of sunset” and “a square with one of its sides brightly illumined”. One month and a half to revisit our emotional involvements, either by rectifying an existing bond or re-discovering one that we thought had ended or would never occur. We are given a chance to see a side of our relationships which we weren’t aware of, and to become aware of their light in a whole new way. An invisible help is at work also. Beings of Light from inner planes are actively encouraging our togetherness and helping create happiness and new beginnings. Saturn remains retrograde this whole month between 19º01’ and 16º41’ VirgoThese 3 degrees are described as follows: “A caravan of cars headed to the West Coast” , “a swimming race”, “an Ouija board” and “a volcanic eruption”. It is still important that we structure our lives and focus on our most important goals. We cannot afford to dissipate energy or to be scattered in our projects. During this month, the more grounded and in tune we are with both our intuition and passion, the more we can fulfill our most cherished ambitions and our dreams. The Moon will be Void of Course(V/O –forming no major aspect with any planet before entering the following sign-):
