QUOTE articleVenus in Taurus
A lover of the earth, you are grounded, stable and trustworthy in the way you love.
You have an affinity with plants and animals and seek security and comfort as a priority.
Venus in Taurus are often gifted in the kitchen too and with your solid, sensual and supportive nature, you are a joy to be around.
Often the type who can settle into a long-term relationship easily,
your downfall is that you can be indiscriminately loyal and end up being taken for granted and over-looked over time.
Venus retrograde –
with Venus in Scorpio operating as the 7th House
Your lesson is in valuing yourself, as you value nature.
Just as you would protect a slow growing plant, which is being smothered by a much more prolific one, so you have to learn to free the self where circumstances may become stifling or depressing to your spirit.
You may not ask for much, or even wish for anything;
such is your consistency of heart,
but in order for your love to emanate and facilitate growth in others, a little more selfishness is needed on your part.
Learn to understand and represent your needs.
Your feelings are real and should be honoured also.
Venus retrograde –
Venus in Scorpio operating as the 11th House
This Venus retrograde period will have you looking at the great whole, and the bigger picture.
Where can your experiences in life benefit the wider social dynamics?
Sometimes it is important to share your own personal knowledge, as it can inspire others and help them to feel closer and more connected to you and each other.
This is a time to drop some of your barriers and realise that being distrustful doesn't actually protect you from being hurt,
but it may just help another to feel close when they are already hurting.

That was absolutely Beautiful, WaxyJo!
You described it well.
I've had a terrible time with trust issues.
Saturn-rx Scorp 16+ H11 opp Venus Taurus 12+ H5.
Have made bad choices in partners, and got burned and exceedingly hurt.
I tend to see 'The Best' in people.
I "assume" that people are working on their own self, wanting to grow into a better person-- just like me-- so I tend to overlook things that maybe *should* have been given more weight on that Libran {H10} scale?
I'm very accepting and most-usually tolerant. I guess many people are deserving of it-- but in other regards, I NEED to pay attention to the red-flags I see in other's behaviors?
Not-everyone who looks friendly deserves to be regarded as a safe person, and 'your friend'? I tend to see (and treat) 'The World' at large, AS my friends and my family, that I Serve as equal to self.
I don't know....
Part of my Ideal is that WHEN you give people the allowance to BE a good person, then, mistakes go on a backburner. {Love, covers a multitude of sins, scripture}.
It's giving them the allowance to grow-- as part of the life-process they are doing, just like 'me'. They take responsibility for their own growing? I would want others to give ME the graciousness of that kind of allowance and space for mistakes and misperceptions? *bheart* *heart*

~Girlfriend… WE need to go skinny-dipping!!!
I've got an older body, so you'd look phenomenal next to mine.
Ever do skinny-dipping?? It's the best feeling-- you slippery-glide soo easily on top of that water. Clothes cause friction and weigh you down like cement. ROFL.
Do it under a full moon!! extra-special.
.. {I stay away from swimming now. But I've got Fantastic memories of skinny-dipping under the moonlight with a female BFF, then being starved, ate lemon yogurt afterwards. Was among one of the most daring things I ever did! Will live long in my memories. You should build yourself those kinds of moments. *Heart* Have some FUN!}
Just thought I'd 'cheer you up'!!
We need a loving warm gathering for a sisters-skinnydip'ing party!!
