This relates to sovereignty  and independence ideally.  The ability, or the need, to be totally self-sufficient and responsible for one’s life. Perhaps an issue of single parenthood, or the sense of having to raise yourself without input and nurturing from others, or, coming from a broken family where someone had to take on the role of both mother and father.

 November 23. Monday is marked by a positive Sun trine Neptune at 4:08 PM.  This can offer us a harmonious flow of high-vibe inspiration, optimism, and deep spiritual clarity.  Stocks and metals  might be on the upswing. On a personal level, this aspect helps lift the heavy tension from earlier in the month, making it an ideal time for creative breakthroughs, intuitive insights, and feeling a renewed sense of faith or purpose in your life's direction. On the world stage, this gentle alignment inspires collective hope, often manifesting as major breakthroughs in artistic and cultural communities, widespread humanitarian movements. A Moon square Jupiter in Leo at 9:29 PM helps expand  our positivity. 

.

 November 24.  The  Moon leaves Taurus at 3:10 AM and enters a more flexible air sign Gemini. Then at 6:53 AM a wild Full Moon in Gemini occurs at 2 degrees 20 of Gemini. 

The Sabian Symbol  for this  degree of Gemini speaks of enjoying the finer things in life: The  Charming Court Life at the Garden of the Tuileres in Paris 

The implication and metaphor considering what has happened to Paris last month is the rewards of self confidence and authority that you and others have developed and achieved.

For some  a  Gilded Age  for others the fruits of their labor.  This does not make you greater or better than others, but the work you’ve done entitles you to a little luxury, comfort and prestige. Are you relaxed and comfortable enough to be able to sit back and join in with others and enjoy it all?

Here is  a  chart  for  this Gemini Full  Moon set for Salem, Oregon at 6:53 AM PST 

 November 25. The Moon continues in Gemini setting the  stage for a  huge day. 

The  Sagittarius Sun sextiles  Pluto  in Aquarius at 9:28 AM first and this aspect gives you the quiet determination and insight  break old habits, solve complex problems, and reclaim your personal power with total confidence. On the world stage, this supportive alignment opens the door for progressive, cooperative changes, making it a highly effective day for international collaboration, technological updates, and forward-thinking political reforms that benefit the collective. Next biggies is the Sun in Sagittarius making a potent  opposition to Uranus in Gemini at 2:41 PM this aspect could mean a serious explosion or volcanic eruptions. With this combination expect unpredictable energy and erratic behavior. Personally, this alignment can act as an electric shock to your routine, sparking an intense, rebellious urge to break free from limitations, which can lead to abrupt disruptions, sudden changes of heart, or unexpected electronic and travel snags if you act too impulsively.

Then at 3:37 PM Mars the planet of action, drive  and motivation moves from fiery, dramatic fixed Leo  into  Virgo a much more practical orientation and adds some stabilzing earth to  the current  mix  of  water, air  and  fire. Note that Mars will station retrograde on January 10, 2027, at 10° Virgo.  The Gemini Moon continues with all positive aspects  first a trine to venus at 7:51 PM, a sextile  to  Jupiter in Leo at 9:24 PM as the Moon moves into a VOC period. 

November 26 and 27th. At 2:51 PM the Moon enters more  nurturing and water sign  Cancer. 

Right  out of  the  gate the  Moon makes a supportive sextile to Mars now in Virgo at 3:09 AM

Then at 5:33 AM a confusing  square to  Neptune in Aries may bring  fogginess and hesitation to our initiatives. Restrictions and limitations may prevail thru the day as finally a Moon square to Saturn perfects at  3:48 PM.  By  9:40 PM on the 27th. the Moon squares Venus in Libra  and this sensitive moon enters a Void  of Course period when it is  best to stay grounded. 

 November 28 and 29th. Our moods brighten as the Moon enters more joyful and creative Leo at 3:21 AM A highly  inspirational and positive financial aspect occurs  at 4:05 AM as Venus the planet  of love and money makes a sextile to  lucky Jupiter. These two planetary "benefics" have been dancing in a supportive alignment throughout November, now with Venus  direct  time to step into abundance and  harvest the relational goodwill and financial ease. Financial markets will be  up.   On a personal level, this day brings a relaxed, highly magnetic, and warm energy. The Leo moon keeps the goodwill flowing with a  trine  to  Neptune, sextile to Uranus in Gemini  at  9:14 AM as communications move  forward. 

Then at 2:28 PM the fiery Leo Moon trines the Sun in Sagittarius and we are off and running.

 On November 29th, another phase of Barbault's Basket brings planetary magic with Uranus in an exact trine to Pluto at 3:21 AM on 11-29-26 both at 3 degrees 31 minutes: a monumental, generational alignment that sparks effortless, deep-seated evolution and massive systemic reinvention. 

The Sabian Symbol that corresponds to Pluto at 3 degrees 31  direct in Aquarius:  

A Hiindu Healer Glows with Mystic Healing Power.

.In our personal life  this powerful trine can help us  permanently break free from old limitations, inviting us to  rebuild our  life, mindset, and personal power with exciting, progressive new structures. On the world stage, this harmonious connection acts as a blueprint for the future, driving rapid technological breakthroughs, profound energetic and environmental shifts, and smooth, large-scale societal transformations.

Another fortunate aspect occurs as the Sun in Sagittarius trines Saturn in Aries at 10:06 PM. on 11-29-26:  This is a  supportive alignment that brings instant stability, focus, and structural strength. For the  individual, this  is a time when we can easily channel our ideas  and future vision into concrete, real-world plans,  mastering a difficult skill, or gaining quiet recognition for our hard work and discipline. From the  mundane astrological  perspective  this harmonious energy provides a solid foundation for long-term stability, favoring the establishment of lasting international policies, the steady rebuilding of infrastructure, and serious, practical leadership. 

 November 30. The Leo Moon makes a positive sextile to Venus in Libra a relationship stimulus at 2:10 AM as the Moon moves into a VOC phase. 

At 6:13 AM the Moon enters detailed and down to earth Virgo. Then the Moon conjuncts Mars newly ingressed  in Virgo and we work hard to  get things done. A square from the Moon to Uranus at 12: 17 PM could  throw a wrench  into  our  plans  but keep track of  the  little things and you will  be fine afterall Mercury ruler of  Virgo is direct. A 4th quarter  Moon begins at  10:09 PM with a  square to the  Sun in  Sagittarius and we get  to  use our  skill to  handle any problems  coming our  way. 

Looking ahead to December 2026: The defining feature of December is a massive wave of planets stationing direct, ending their months-long retrograde periods. On December 10th, Saturn finally stations direct in Aries, followed immediately by Neptune stationing direct in Aries on December 12th. This double forward movement delivers a powerful sense of clarity, structure, and reality hitting the ground after months of inner confusion or stalled progress. You may  feel an overwhelming urge to take your dreams out of the imagination phase and build realistic, disciplined boundaries around them.

Full Moon in Taurus 2026 - Great Transformation Towards Peace Amid Volatility

 

Dearest friends, starseeds, light workers, seekers of a new consciousness and creators of a new earth...

 "Those who look outside, dream. Those who look inside, awaken." Carl Jung.

“You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.” Eckhart Tolle

I don't have to tell you how adversity seems to be on the rise  and that they have been augmented by the Venus retrograde which I highlighted in a symbolic report about the Venus Cazimi on October 23 and the Venus cycle.  These frequences mirror our own deep inner transformation and dark night of the soul in parallel to the myth of Innana.  Note that this Venus/Sun Cazimi  was also closely sextile Varda, a dwarf planet of inspiration consciousness, at 29 degrees of Sagittarius. Varda is the goddess who kindled the stars in the mythology of the Elves in The Lord of the Rings, so she creates light in dark places and shows us the light, if we need guidance or inspiration. As Alan Clay says: She enables us to hold a clear, luminous orientation when the world around us becomes confusing or difficult. She also enables us to shine our light in the world and thereby to inspire others. WOW we really need some encouragement to hang on as things are seemingly falling apart.

Lots is happening in our mundane macro world: Paris Riots with demonic activity  in the  streets, World-wide Debt Problems, Cruelty to Children even inflicted by Mothers, Earth changes evidenced by this Magnitude 7.0 Earthquake in China/Tibet border, and more. 

Massive fraud and corruption being exposed world wide in governmental structures per example here: EPPO agents raided the European Parliament offices in Brussels and Strasbourg. The probe targets the alleged misuse of over €4 million in EU administrative funds by the now-defunct far-right Identity and Democracy (ID) group between 2019 and 2024. 

Or here in the US with the $66 Million USDA SNAP Insider Scam and in the tech world “PHP Developers Issue Updates to Fix Vulnerabilities, Says Flaw Was Found in 2024,” And  as big tech/Ai stocks declined:   Meta Fined $25bn for ‘Lies’ over User Data Privacy,” 

There will be more mobilizations like this: 

Tens of  thousands  of  Israeli's living abroad fly into to vote  in pivotal election

There won't be an October Surprise, There will be multiple shocking surprises as close held secrets are revealed into November. 

Regarding the BIG BAD Midterms they will be delayed, results recounted and reviewed. Lots of interference with the polls and voting due to the  retrograde planets transitng now: Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune moving backwards.  

As so many astrologers have point out there are NO solar system planets in Earth signs to keep us grounded.  Lack of earth is making it more tentative and volatile particularly now that the  Kali Yuga is over and massive negative energies and  dark forces are being purged. 

Will there be negative reactions to the mechanism of the delays? - YES.  

We are birthing somethig totally NEW emphasized in my blog for  the February 20th conjunction of Saturn/Neptune in Aries. 

The chart below is  set for October 25, 2026 at 9:12 PM PDT in Salem, Oregon. 

Known as a  tale of three cities: North/NE Salem, South/SE Salem and over  the  bridge West Salem. 

Cancer is rising  at 0 degrees 08 conjunct Betelgeuse and Polaris sextile Regulus and square the Super Galactic Center 

Ruler of this chart is the Moon at 2 Taurus 45 conjunct Andromedia Mirach asking us to connect with our true beauty. The Moon opposes the Shapley Attractor 

Digging into the amazing chart above, we take quick psychic view at the Sabian Symbol for the Moon at 2 Taurus 45  translated to 3 taurus : 

Natural Steps Up to a Lawn Blooming with Clover 

Taurus is a sign that relates to comfort, luxury, riches, beauty and the good things in life. This can be  a time of fulfillment that close by, but there often is still some small effort to be made in that one has to take the simple steps towards inviting wonderful things into your life. The Moon is exalted in Taurus and asks us to  follow our natural intuition, and you will find the peace.  Be aware not to become.complacent or lazy as doing nothing migh lead to opportunities slipping away.

Keywords here: Harmony. Abundance. Nourishment. Being barefoot. Small efforts leading to large returns.  

With the Sun at 2 Scorpio 45 applying to a  meeting  with  Haumea, the Hawaiian Goddess of  Rebirth offering us a time of true regeneration if we choose peace.  Let's take a  step back and see how all the planets, asteroids, dwarf planets work together on this auspicious lunation  designated by the Anishinaabe / Chippewa / Ojibwe tribes as the Falling Leaves Moon or the Freezing Moon when the game were fat and hunting was at it's optimum. 

Image of Betelgeuse from ESO's Very Large Telescope

The primary energies of this chart enter through a deeply spiritual and protective doorway. The Cancer Ascendant at 0 degrees on the world point  aligns with the stars Betelgeuse and Polaris.  Betelgeuse is said to have the  blended energies of Mars Mercury and Jupiter and on the positive end of the spectrum can offer us ultimate victory, rapid advancement, honors, and massive public recognition.  Because of its heavy Mars influence, it can demand  bold, decisive, and strategic action. Betelgeuse might also bring a frantic, hyper-anxious pace, sudden conflicts, or the risk of a dramatic fall if the success is mishandled. Public scandals and volatility are also possible with this alignment. 

Polaris is acting like a cosmic GPS guiding us toward  true north. Right at this entry point, the asteroids DNA and Giza join forces in the first house, while Ceres and Atlantis team up in the  second house of resources, money, values, self worth as we nurture our remembrance of ancient civilizations. This combination means our  cellular blueprint and ancient soul memories are waking up, reminding you that your true security comes from your unique spiritual gifts. The Taurus Full Moon in the 11th house of friends, hopes, aspirations  holds a beautiful, loving energy of the star Mirach in the Andromeda galaxy, urging us to build safe, authentic friendships where you can truly let your guard down.

Pluto, the modern ruler of the Scorpio Sun,  recently stationed direct on October 15th and resides in the eighth house of deep transformation at 3 degrees of Aquarius. Pluto is in a powerful T-square with both the Sun and Moon, while also squaring the Shapley Attractor—adding a massive galactic  pull. This planetary showdown forces us  to continue to  shed old, toxic control dramas and step into our authentic power. Pluto is also quintile Mercury in the sixth house revealing secrets and hidden gifts. Pluto is conjunct the star Altair inviting  us to  take the Eagle's  perch and view the day to day conflicts from bigger more  futurisitc  POV.  This means many of us  will have  daily thoughts and words bringing serious manifestational power during the  next two  weeks With the Part of Fortune sitting at 0 degrees Capricorn, we are offered a  green light to ground our wildest dreams into tangible, real-world routines.

This is  a time when relationships and inner healing are getting a major upgrade. Venus is retrograde at 29 degrees Libra, facing off via opposition to Mirach, while Chiron, the wounded healer  in Aries sits in the  eleventh house of community, opposing Venus and squaring the star Procyon. This energy is pushing us to use innovative methods  to heal old friendship wounds and heartbreaks. Thankfully, Chiron is trine the Galactic Center, reminding everyone that their vulnerability is their ultimate superpower. In the hidden corners of this chart, Astraea,  the  Goddess of  Justice  in the  ninth house squares Algol, helping you break free from old, unfair and out dated energies that have enslaved the feminine, while Juno sits close to Pluto, and asteroid Merlin brings magic to the eighth house, this  is the house  involving debt, other  peoples money and pensions.  Merlin is injecting a heavy dose of relationship alchemy and mystical wisdom into our  lives.

Image of  Egyptian Goddess Sekhmet 

Ancient goddess archetypes are also waking up to support our  daily life and service commitments along with our  health. In the sixth house, Sekhmet, the Egyptian lioness goddess of war, healing, and divine retribution teams up with the Great Attractor. Sekhmet at fifteen degrees of Sagittarius in the sixth house, directly merged with the immense gravitational pull of the Great Attractor. Since this domicile is all about  day-to-day environment, work, or practical focus of the moment and charged with an almost irresistible, fated momentum. Sekhmet brings the fierce, protective energy of the Egyptian lioness suggesting that this Full Moon  involves standing up for truth, executing necessary boundaries, or engaging in a deep, fiery process of healing and purification. This potent sixth-house energy flows beautifully into the third house through a supportive trine to Mars in Leo. Mars is the planet of drive, action, and courage, and in the expressive sign of Leo, it wants to be seen, heard, and acknowledged. In the third house of communication, local community, and immediate messages, this trine means that the fierce, fated energy of the event translates effortlessly into bold, passionate speech and decisive action. 

 Image of Kuan Yin 

 Plus  asteroid Tea (representing Kuan Yin’s mercy) stands nearby, though it gently clashes with Hygeia in your fourth house. Kuan Yin's name translates to "Perceiver of the World's Sounds," meaning she hears the cries of all suffering beings and delays her own enlightenment to help them." Her presence transmutes negative karma, heals emotional wounds, and helps individuals release guilt or self-blame. She helps you forgive yourself and others, releasing old guilt.

This setup is a reminder to balance your fierce passions with deep self-care, mental wellness, and emotional rest. Down in your foundational fourth house, asteroid Isis trines the stars Almach and Cetus, bringing a comforting wave of cellular healing and reminding you that you can put yourself back together no matter how broken you might have felt. Upstairs in the fifth house of fun and joy, asteroid Magdalena at 16 Libra joins Haumea and the star Syrma of the ascended masters, blessing our creative projects, children who have been abused  and love life with a deeply sacred, passionate, and protective energy.

 Gonggong the Water God 

Finally, we examine the Kuiper Belt objects in symphony with fixed stars that  are chiming  offer much  higher perspectives. Dwarf planet Gonggong, that empathetic wizard, systemic floods and overwhelming emotions  is conjunct the Royal Star Fomalhaut and the Archangel Gabriel in your tenth house, squaring Uranus, the innovative disruptor in the twelfth house—a signature that will bring literal refreshing rain to Salem, or a sudden downpour of spiritual epiphanies. Uranus is also in a brilliant BiQuintile  both Venus and Quintile to Mars, handing you the innovative blueprints to completely reinvent your life. Note: The biquintile acts in a more internal and psychological manner. It acts like an organic, self-contained mechanism for turning raw talent into a highly functional, idiosyncratic obsession. It often manifests as a quirky or magical way of doing things.  The quintile behaves like an artistic bridge. It takes the energy of these two different planets and blends them to create an entirely new form of expression.

Sedna retrograde in this Full Moon's twelfth house aligns with the Pleiades (Alcyone), while a new candidate dwarf planet Altjira at 22 Gemini  lands in  twelfth house, opening your mind to dreamtime realities and timeless galactic truths. The 12th  house is the domicile of karma, the  subconcioius, secrets, imagination, transcendence of personal will, Mentioned by Pam Gregory in here Libra New moon report:  Altjira is  the central sky god of the Dreamtime in the mythology of the Australian Aboriginal Arrernte people.

Altjira represents a visionary realm, dreaming, and manifesting abstract visions into physical reality. It handles the capacity to interact with non-linear time and spiritual infrastructure.

Here is an image of  Altjira : 

With Ixion in the 7th adding seeker consciousness, Quaoar in the 7th offering new spirit perspectives , and Orcus in the 4th  demanding radical truth and uncompromising integrity activating structural parts of  his lunation chart, and Makemake, the higher octave of Uranus in the  fifth house adding to an incredible creative time and conjunct the fixed star  Corvus (inviting powerful crow and animal messenger omens/guides), the universe is pulsing with magic. As the North Node at 27 Aquarius in  ninth house is Quintile True Lilith, it is time to trust your wild, untamed intuition, your authentic genious step out of the past, and boldly claim your place in this beautiful, emerging  community which will blossom into artistic circles of light.

Venus Cazimi and Innana's Journey to the Underworld

 

Dearest friends, starseeds, light workers, seekers of a new consciousness and creators of a new earth...

From the Great Above she opened her ear to the Great Below
From the Great Above the goddess opened her ear to the Great Below
From the Great Above Inanna opened her ear to the Great Below.

(Wolkstein and Kramer, 52)

We Are All Inanna During the Venus/Cazimi and the Retrograde!

Thanks to  Adam Sommer for the Image Above Ilustrating  the Eight Year Synodic Cycles of Venus

As a prelude to a magnificent, powerful  Taurus Full Moon on  October 25, 2026 at 9:12 PM PDT/October 26, 2026 at 12:12 AM EDT we are  preparing for a profound spiritual alignment  as Venus ruler of this Full Moon transitions from an evening star into a brilliant morning star, marking a sacred moment of emotional and relational rebirth. 

This celestial shift begins  on October 23, 2026, at 2:38 AM PDT, when the Sun enters the deep, intense, transformative waters of Scorpio. Just hours later, at 8:44 PM PDT, the retrograde Venus forms a powerful interior conjunction with the Sun. In spiritual astrology, this exact alignment is known as the Venus Cazimi—the moment the Goddess of Love enters the heart of the Sun to be purified, burned clean of past baggage, and initiated into a brand-new eight-year evolutionary cycle.

Here is a chart below using Solar Fire and devoid of dwarf planets, multiple asteroids and fixed stars with the Sun/Venus meeting in the 5th house  of creativity, love affairs, children, speculation. Mercury the ruler of this chart is stationing in the 6th house at 20 degrees Scorpio his domicile relating to Service, routine, health, hygeine, employment, development of skills, small pets, illness, mentorship etc all which will be emphasised during this time. 

The Energetic Birth (October 23, 2026): At the exact moment of the interior conjunction (Cazimi) at 8:44 PM PDT, Venus crosses the solar threshold. She officially leaves her role as the Evening Star behind and crosses into the morning sky domain. 

The Heliacal Rising (October 29–30, 2026): For about a week after the conjunction, Venus remains hidden from our physical sight by the intense glare of the Sun. She makes her first actual physical appearance—known as her heliacal rising—low in the eastern predawn sky just before sunrise on October 29 to 30, 2026. By early November, she will be brightly visible to the naked eye as the glorious "Morning Star" As a morning star she is called Phosphorus or Lucifer. Venus as an evening star is called Hesperus or Vesper.

Using  our psychic senses we consult the  Sabian Symbols  for 0 Scorpio 45 the degree  of  both the Sun and Venus at the Cazimi.

What might appear as an incongruous symbol we see this description: A Sight-Seeing Bus Filled with  Tourists.  When traveling there can be a feeling of knowing one’s destination, having a map or guide, but not always knowing what we will experience.  On the bus we  feel guided and sheltered, but there can be feelings of being an observer and, sometimes, of being observed. You could feel like you’re separate from what’s going on. The trick with this degree is to throw your self into life, reach out for all sorts of adventures and, most of all, enjoy the ride! Some keywords come to mind: Observing life. Foreign territories. Seeing how other people live. Timing, being on time. Watching from afar. The untried and untrodden or the same old road. UFOS and aliens.

An image below of Innana  startng her journey into  the underworld: 

The evolutionary intensity of our journey deepens almost immediately as Mercury stations retrograde the very next day, October 24, 2026, at 12:13 AM PDT, at 20 degrees 58 minutes Scorpio. This back-to-back  pairing creates a profound inward pull, forcing us to look beneath the surface of our relationships, desires, and psychological shadows.

This intense period of internal excavation reaches a beautiful, synchronized climax a few weeks later. On November 13, 2026, the  tide completely turns in a rare double-direct alignment. First, at 7:54 AM PDT, Mercury ends its retrograde journey and moves direct, helping  to  clear the fog from our minds and releasing pent-up insights. Then, at 4:27 PM PDT on that exact same day, Venus also stations direct. This simultaneous awakening allows the insights we gathered in the shadows of Scorpio to finally integrate, propelling us forward with profound clarity, renewed self-worth, and a revitalized capacity for deep intimacy.

What makes this particular Venus rebirth so monumental is its place within the larger Venusian geometry. Venus operates on a beautiful eight-year cycle, tracing a perfect five-pointed star or rose pattern across the zodiac every eight years as it returns to the same. 

The Descent of Innana  and the Seven Gates 

This period of total disappearance was linked by ancient Sumerians to the Descent of Inanna because the astronomical cycle perfectly mirrors her mythic journey into the underworld:

• The Evening Star Phase (The Descent): As Venus sinks lower in the evening sky each night, Inanna journeys toward the underworld, stripped of one of her royal garments or symbols of power at each of the seven gates.
• Superior Conjunction (Death and Rebirth): When Venus disappears completely behind the glare of the Sun, Inanna enters the underworld kingdom of her sister, Ereshkigal, where she is killed and hangs as a corpse for three days and three nights.
• The Morning Star Phase (The Resurrection): Just as Inanna is revived by the water and food of life and emerges victorious from the underworld, Venus rises again, reborn on the other side of the Sun as a brilliant, triumphant morning star.

The Synodic Cycle and the Seven Gates of Inanna

While the mythic descent is often told as a downward journey, it mathematically tracks the final two months of Venus as an evening star leading up to her retrograde inferior conjunction.

Every 19.5 days during this phase, the Moon forms a visible conjunction with the fading Evening Star Venus. In ancient Sumeria, these monthly lunar alignments tracked Inanna’s approach to the underworld. Each conjunction represented a gate where she was forced to strip away an aspect of her ego and worldly identity:

Gate	Royal Adornment Stripped	Psychological & Astrological Meaning
1st Gate	The Great Crown (Shugurra)	Surrendering the ego, status, and mental control.
2nd Gate	The Measuring Rod & Line	Letting go of the need to judge, calculate, or control outcomes.
3rd Gate	The Lapis Lazuli Necklace	Opening the throat; stripping away false expressions or pleasing speech.
4th Gate	The Double Breastplate	Vulnerability; removing the armor protecting the heart chakra.
5th Gate	The Gold Ring of Power	Relinquishing personal willpower, manipulation, and ego-driven desires.
6th Gate	The Palace Robes	Shedding the social personas and labels we hide behind.
7th Gate	The Royal Breeches (Pala)	Total nakedness; facing raw, unadorned vulnerability and mortality.

When Venus completely disappears into the Sun's glare (the retrograde inferior conjunction), Inanna is killed by her sister Ereshkigal (the shadow self) and hangs as a corpse. When Venus emerges days later as a Morning Star, Inanna is resurrected, reclaiming her adornments at the gates—but this time with true spiritual sovereignty instead of superficial ego

We also undergo this mythic journey since psychologically, a Venus retrograde is a mandatory underworld journey of the heart. Because Venus rules what we value, beauty, how we relate and our sense of self-worth, her retrograde turns these energies sharply inward.

• Confronting the Shadow Self (Ereshkigal): In the myth, Ereshkigal represents the repressed, ugly, jealous, and wounded parts of our psyche. Venus retrograde forces you to sit with the parts of your relationships or self-worth that you normally avoid—such as deep-seated fears of abandonment, toxic patterns, or buried resentments.
• The Death of the Ego-Persona: Just as Inanna had to strip bare, you are forced to look at where you are staying in relationships out of habit, financial security, or social status. The retrograde strips away "false love" and surface-level harmony to reveal what is genuinely authentic.
• Re-evaluation and Reclaiming Value: This is not a time for outward manifestation, marriage proposals, or major aesthetic changes. It is a psychological excavation. You are meant to retrieve the "lost gold" of your own self-worth, realizing that your value comes from within, not from external validation.

When Venus stations direct (as she will on November 13, 2026), the psychological underworld journey ends. You emerge from the cave of the self with a re-aligned heart, ready to relate to others from a place of wholeness rather than codependency.
