Alright Beloved, let’s sit with this for a moment—because the medicine is deeper than these bullet points.
Venus retrograde through Scorpio back into Libra is not light work. This isn’t the kind of transit that asks politely. It pulls the rug, checks the foundation, and then asks why you decorated the house without fixing the cracks.
This is heart work. Value work. Self-worth work. And for melanated women especially? This one hits ancestral, relational, and financial layers all at once.
The Real Meaning of Venus Retrograde (Before We Even Get to the Signs)
Venus governs:
- love & attachment
- money & resources
- pleasure & self-worth
- beauty & embodiment
- values (what you tolerate vs. what you honor)
When Venus goes retrograde, she doesn’t take—she reveals.
She rewinds the tape and asks:
“Did you choose this because it was aligned… or because it was familiar?”
This transit isn’t about punishment.
It’s about truth without makeup on.
Venus Retrograde in Scorpio (Oct 3 – Oct 25, 2026)
🔥 Root + Sacral Chakra Work
Scorpio doesn’t ask how you feel.
She asks what you’re hiding.
This phase exposes:
- emotional dependency masked as loyalty
- power struggles disguised as passion
- financial entanglements rooted in fear, not trust
- intimacy patterns shaped by survival, not desire
This is where:
- old lovers reappear
- emotional debts surface
- money stories tied to control or secrecy get loud
Scorpio Venus Retrograde says:
“Let’s talk about what you stayed silent about… and why.”
If you’ve ever:
- over-given to keep the peace
- stayed because leaving felt unsafe
- tied your worth to being chosen
This phase will find you.
🖤 Journal prompts you’ll want to save:
- Where did I confuse intensity with intimacy?
- What emotional contracts am I still paying for?
- What do I fear losing if I fully choose myself?
Venus Retrograde in Libra (Oct 25 – Nov 14, 2026)
⚖️ Heart + Throat Chakra Work
Libra wants harmony—but retrograde Libra asks at what cost?
This phase highlights:
- people-pleasing patterns
- fake peace
- unspoken resentment
- relationships that look good but feel empty
This is where you realize:
- balance isn’t 50/50 if one person is always bending
- fairness isn’t silence
- diplomacy without truth is self-abandonment
Libra Venus Retrograde says:
“Stop negotiating your needs like they’re optional.”
Expect:
- relationship renegotiations
- clarity about who benefits from your softness
- a reckoning with how often you choose ‘nice’ over honest
💗 Journal prompts for this phase:
- Where am I over-compromising to feel loved?
- Who knows my peace but not my truth?
- What does mutuality actually look like for me?
About the “Don’ts” (Relationships, Money, Appearance)
Yes—astrologers are going to say:
- don’t get married
- don’t sign luxury contracts
- don’t make permanent beauty changes
But here’s the why they don’t always explain:
Venus retrograde clouds desire clarity, not intelligence.
What feels right now may be rooted in:
- nostalgia
- fear of loss
- old conditioning
If you do move forward anyway, do it slowly, consciously, and with full awareness—not urgency.
I will be touching on this more in a few months.
Sending positive inner-G, Beloveds …
