Venus Retrograde
♀Next retrograde: March 02, 2025
When Venus moves backward, it's not just your love life that suffers - it's the very concept of love itself that becomes a cosmic joke. During this 40-day period, Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and material pleasures, reminds us that all attachments are temporary and meaningless.
"In Venus retrograde, we're reminded that love is just chemicals trying to perpetuate a meaningless existence."

- Past relationships resurface only to remind you why they failed in the first place

Survival Tips
- Avoid making major aesthetic changes - they'll be equally disappointing anyway
- Don't start new relationships - though existing ones are equally meaningless
- Reflect on past relationships, but remember that nostalgia is just another form of self-deception
- Postpone major purchases - money is an illusion anyway
- Practice radical acceptance of the void in all its forms
