Venus retrograde through your 1st and 12th houses
This one’s yours in a way that is both an honour and a challenge. Venus stationing retrograde at 8°29′ Scorpio on October 3rd is stationing retrograde in your 1st house (on your body, your appearance, your identity, your entire sense of self.) Katy Perry is a Scorpio rising. So is Nicole Kidman. I’d be watching for major developments in the love lives of both these women.
What Venus in your 1st house retrograde asks is the most fundamental question there is: do you actually like yourself and how do you want to be seen by people? Not the public version, not the carefully curated presentation, but the private, unpolished, soul-level inner version. Scorpio rising tends to show the world exactly what it chooses to show but Venus retrograde in the 1st is not interested in a negotiated presentation. It pulls the curtain back.
The October 20th Venus-Pluto square in your 1st house is where this becomes a bit heated. This square is bringing a power dynamic between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming to a visible flashpoint. It’s a bit uncomfortable. It’s also exactly what Scorpio does best though, descending into the truth of something and coming back transformed.
When Venus retrograde crosses back into Libra on October 25th, it moves into your 12th house, the most hidden, spiritual, part of your chart. What gets processed in November before the November 13th direct station is deeply private work, and that’s appropriate. Venus stationing direct at 22°51′ Libra in your 12th house is a quietly profound moment. Something is being released at the soul level. Let it go.
The Venus cazimi on October 23rd in your 1st house is the single most important date of this entire cycle for you. Mark it. Something about your identity, your appearance, or how you’re presenting yourself to the world resets on that day. A new Venus cycle begins in your 1st house, which means a new chapter of how you relate, how you love, and how you want to be seen is beginning right there. The Jupiter sextiles (particularly the November 28th one as Venus moves through your 12th) bring unexpected grace and warmth from behind the scenes. Blessings there for the taking.
