if you’re wondering why venus retrograde is intensifying, it's because venus is square pluto right now. this is DEEP (and challenging) psychological territory. we're confronting patterns keeping us stuck in situations that don't align with our ACTUAL values. there’s a deep need to break free, gain a sense of control over our lives, and take our power back. we can't do that if we're operating from a place of fear. we can't do that if we're clinging to what's comfortable either. comfort is likely the cage that is trapping you.
