Oh boy, I went to my graduation ceremony this afternoon and I bumped into my crush from 4 years ago!

We both were in second year of college and I remember having the biggest crush on him. I was obsessed with the guy! He moved away that year, so did I and today, as I went to register for the conferring, he was there! I was livid.

Oh boy! That was awkward. He's still hot though although I'm not interested in him anymore. Strange.

I actually have some self worth/self respect I've given up on others for now, but I feel like I'm loving myself more.

Same, It feels good just doing me now.
At first I was 'cutting people off' left and right (Scorpio Venus ). Then I was like, 'you know what, everyone's cut off.' I've needed to lay low and get clear on what I value so I can attract the right kinds of people.

This month, circumstances and events popped up that illuminated everything regarding my relationships : Who's good for me, who's horrible for me, who's using me, etc. But I've also had to cool it several times and remind myself that nobody is perfect! So I'm not 'cutting' anyone off, really. It's much too lonely a concept anyway. Just gotta keep both eyes wide open


As for love, well I'm infatuated with a friend, but it's been on hold for a while, and with good reason I do feel very good about it.
Venus has been in my 1st house, hovering around my ASC lately.

Is it best to give an apology before or after Venus RX?

I gave one on Monday, I'll update y'all to see whether I should have held it in or not. I figured waiting longer than a month (it was literally 2 months at that point) was excessive but one can never be too paranoid during Venus RX.

I sometimes feel I can't wait but on the other hand I feel that I also deserve an apology. I have let my ego and pride down way too many times with this person. So, I'm holding back more than I should this time.

Yes, please update athenaia. And I do hope things go ok in your situation

Venus-rx and Mars Leo are conjunct in my Cancer 8th and both squaring my Saturn-rx Scorpio... I feel like a humidity-hungry, more-shade loving fern out in a too-bright too-arid desert environment.

ick? Low-grade annoyances, at the same time as a heavy feeling like a lead blanket all over, squeezing in sometimes. Constant low headache, tension back of neck. Tight feeling under jaw, like constant lighter swollen glands that come and go. And like there's a weird whine-hiss in the air... yeah, I normally can hear the subtle Wi-Fi, but I'm unusually hearing it boosted more for past few days.

So, I feel a non-dissolving mixture of granules of gripey and happy at the same time.

There's still something quite-bright and soft deep inside, overall.

Funny thing is, I am ready to explain myself and give the apology.. Venus rx is opposing my nVenus, the other has nVenus in Leo. Exaclty conjucting it when she stations also!

Would this mean their ego is higher than ever or they are willing to also re evaluate some things that have taken place?

Hey, I'm up against 2 Venus in Leo right now! don't know if I'll get through this one

My good friend and his girlfriend just broke up. His girlfriend flew out to visit him for the weekend and decided to go through his phone and went through texts between us going back to July. We are good friends but it's purely platonic (I even talked about guys I was dating to him) Then she sent me a text from his phone which she deleted later so he couldn't see it, saying I need to refrain from a sexual relationship with him (we have never done anything and he lives on the other side of the country), and how I'm not allowed to visit him when I come out to California in a few months. He was supposed to move out to Cali and move in with her and i had suggested to him once that we all (including the girlfriend) go out with some of my other friends who live there one night while I'm there. It wasn't like I was saying we meet up for a secret rendezvous in a hotel. But bottom line, they broke up and she said she hates him. (She's a Scorpio, soooo there's some intensity there). I feel bad but at the same time our relationship was purely platonic so I think she overreacted a bit.

Also, I'm not sure if old friendships count for Venus retrograde, but I was at a party last weekend and this guy who I used to be friends with a few years ago was there. He really hurt me in the past over and over again and after giving him chance after chance I finally cut ties with him. At the party he tried to be nice and give me a high five for who knows what reason. Bottom line is that I didn't want to even look at him or be around him. Then, my former best friend who is good friends with that guy (I introduced them a few years back), Facebook messaged me saying how the guy told her he saw me at the party, and she wanted to reach out and say hello to me too to check in on me. I know I sound super drama-y in this post, but I'm not. There are only a few people i have cut ties to because they just bring me negativity and I realized that I am better off without them in my life.

Also, I have recently started dating a guy who I think is pretty good for me.... for once! I'm a little afraid because I always hear that starting new relationships during a Venus retrograde is a bad move, but he's the nicest and sweetest guy I've ever met, and I can't let him get away

But anyways, those are my long and unabbreviated (sorry!) Venus retrograde topics!

Venus RX hasn't been terrible, I'd much prefer this over Mercury (or Saturn, good god) rx!

I made a huge purchase and regretted it. I'm in the process of trying to return it but I fear im going to have to put my boxing gloves on to get my money back.

One of my long friendshios ended for now, and I'm totally okay with it and relieved. There's nothing else I could think of doing to save it, and I wasn't happy in it anyway.

I've also realized I deserve to be treated better than I have been and im not accepting anything less. I changed some old bad behaviors of mine (well, so far)

I also think one of my old crushes / friend had been trying to get my attention for whatever reason and half-apologized for being a douche, but eh. Too little too late.

I think there was another similar post here about this because I remember commenting. Sorry to repeat myself.

I think this Rx has been very good for me. Natally Venus rules my Sun/Merc and sits in my 5H. It's retrograde in my 9H loosely Trine a bunch of planets and square my Chiron.

I'm finally pulling away from a friendship that has become very negative. My disenchantment with our relationship has been growing for a few years now, but this past year especially I've just felt very fed up with the way this person makes me feel. I stopped talking to him regularly a few weeks before the Rx and once it hit, we've stopped talking almost completely. Now that the Rx is almost over, I'm a little surprised to realize how much our friendship was draining me. I feel much happier, more like myself, productive, and "lighter".

My mom had a similar negative/draining relationship with her mother that also ended during the Rx. My mom finally got fed up with their toxic relationship, had a row with her and they agreed to stop talking. Not sure how long that is going to last tbh, but just like me my mom has been so much happier and "lighter" since. It has also greatly improved our relationship, which was a long time coming. Again, not sure if this will last, but it's still a nice break.

Like others have mentioned, I've also realized that I deserve to be treated better than I have been. I'm developing a lot more respect for myself and starting to be more outspoken when people in my life cross a line with me. I've become very distant with many people in my life except for one friend. We've had a bit of a rocky relationship in the past, but we've gotten closer and things seem to have stabilized during the Rx. He's very supportive and positive which is why I talk to him on a regular basis.

An ex got in touch with me the first week of the Rx. Years ago I completely cut him out of my life yet he continued to contact me regardless of how many times I told him to stop. Recently we got back in touch and sort of patched things up between us. I made it clear I was not interested in continuing any kind of friendship or relationship with him, but during the Rx he got in touch with me hoping to change my mind. I think things FINALLY clicked because I haven't heard from him since.

A love interest got in touch with me after a cool period (he has Venus Rx natally). He says he misses me a lot and wants to have a serious talk about things between us. We'll see what happens.

Hello. During the shadow and couple weeks into retrograde it was good and I was trying hard to avoid it but now it's coming in like a tidal wave. I've been seeing my ex more than usual. It's always every Thursday 😳. Yesterday I was talking to a friend and I turned my head a bit and saw him <I>smiling</I> at me. I was surprised that I quickly turned away and left dragging my friend with me.

I made a new guy friend and we've been friends for several months and he finally asked for my number. He's been texting me since and being so nice I can't tell if he likes me as more than a friend or not.

I have also been reevaluating my values and actions as well. Lately I've been feeling very creative and working harder and this has helped with graphic design a ton. I can't wait until this retrograde goes direct to see if anything changes.

My college roommate and I started hanging out again, which I am so happy about because we were such good friends and it feels like that's starting to come back!

My ex started contacting me and I've had some really tough feelings to deal with there.

I lost a new friendship. Which is fine cause the guy was a total ass.

Met a great guy who makes me laugh. But his job may fall through and he may have to move back to where he just moved from. Seems about right for Venus retrograde. I'm hoping when Venus goes direct it will correct this. We are staying in contact.

People stopped paying as much attention to me, which hit my self esteem pretty hard.

I started feeling like I never looked good enough. I could never get my hair and makeup to look just right and never knew what to wear. I feel really disheveled and out of place.

- Break up.
- Listening to songs I used to listen to in the past.
- Re-thinking/re-evaluating how my self-esteem/self-worth has played/plays into my relationships with people.
I feel like I have gained some confidence simply by allowing myself to accept myself a little more. But there's a long way to go, still.

Literally today I witnessed a couple breaking up in the middle of a clothing store at the mall. He said " what are we doing?! HUH! I'm about to knock some **** ovah!" He tried kissing her but she walked off. Like whoa is this the power of Venus Direct or what?
