Understanding the Power of Pause in Venus Retrograde

Are you navigating the cosmic turbulence of Venus in retrograde? Join me, Carmen Ramos, as I lead you through this celestial event that has us reflecting on our relationships, our self-perception, and our needs for attention and admiration. As Venus moonwalks through the fire sign of Leo from July 22nd through September 3rd, we take a deep look at its influence on our love life, urging us to be deliberate about our romantic decisions and encouraging us to get to know our partners more deeply before making commitments. Already in a relationship? This is the perfect phase to reassess what you love and what needs improvement.

In the regal, attention-loving sign of Leo, Venus retrograde is also a time to examine our need for adoration. But while the spotlight beckons, this phase calls for caution. Impulsiveness, especially regarding our love life, finances, and appearance, can lead us astray. Have you been itching to make drastic changes like adopting a new hairstyle or launching a podcast? My advice is to pause and reconsider. Let’s navigate this cosmic event together, learn how to nurture ourselves, and resist the urge to act on impulse. So, come along and thank you for being part of my celestial journey.

Hi everyone. My name is Carmen Ramos and you're listening to my Sheik Intuition. See last week's episode. I was talking about getting ghosted and how it was my first time and how I dealt with it. If you haven't listened to that episode, I was talking about how I had my big Julia Roberts moment where she said big mistake, huge. If you haven't listened to that episode, I'd go back and then come back to this episode. See, in this week's episode I'm taking a little break just because Venus is in retrograde.

And what does that mean? That means that once Venus is in retrograde, which is from July 22nd through September 3rd, it's literally moonwalking in the fire sign of Leo. And what does Venus retrograde mean? Retrogrades are an optical illusion, right One that astrologers believe have an impact on our personal lives. This transit occurs when a planet appears to move backward in its orbit. So think about it. So retrograde dampen the shine of the planet and realm it rules. So in Venus case, that might actually be a good thing.

When Venus slows down, you have a chance to reflect and more deliberate about your dating decisions. So right now is really the time to take it slow and really get to know your partner before taking any action. So you might want to be like, oh my god, this person is it. This person is the one. I'm jumping into a relationship Right now. That is not the time. Right now it's really getting to like. You know, like the crevice of like getting to know your partner and them getting to really know you. But let's say you're in a relationship with someone right During this Venus retrograde. Right now it's the time to reflect on what you like about your relationship and what changes can do for the better of your relationship.

Also, what you can expect during this Venus retrograde in Leo, you may be having to think for, yearning for your attention. Think about it Leo is a regal planet who wants to be adored. So you feel like you know you either want to be adorning your relationships in your career or with your family. It has to has to do with being the center of attention. So if you feel like that right now, it's because we're in retrograde. What should we be avoiding during this Venus retrograde? We should be avoiding any impulsive decisions about your love life, finances or appearance. So let's say you want to like change your hair color and you're like I didn't really want to wait it out. Wait it out because this is a time where Venus, which is like beauty, is in reverse.

So if you feel like you want to do something impulsive, like change your hair color, jump into a relationship, do something out of the norm just because you want to get attention during this Leo Venus retrograde, I suggest you take it easy, because emotions are running high right now and you're just reflecting and it's conflicting because you want to take action right now, right away. But in this energy, you have to know how to move into this energy, and what I mean by that is just take things slow and see what can be effective in this energy right now that you're in. So if you want to be impulsive and all that, it's not the time, because you're just moving out of impulse and ego when you're supposed to be like okay, how do I nurture myself and create something better for me during this time? So if you want to start something new, like, let's say, a podcast, or change your social media appearance and things like that, right now is the time to reflect and take time and write things down and really like strategize, rather than moving into impulse and being like no, I have to be the center right now and I have to move in a certain way right now, because that's Venus and retrograde. So I'm so happy that you guys are tuning in and listening to me and going through my journey and I just want to thank you and always, like I said, feedback is always amazing. So thank you.
