Crash and Burn: Venus Retrograde Reflections
Crash and burn enough times, and eventually you’ll realize that it’s not you that’s broken.
I’m not afraid to admit that I have crashed and burned many times. And was it because there’s something inherently deeply wrong with me? There was definitely a long stretch of my life where I believed that.
But eventually you go through a healing journey and you realize: it actually wasn’t me all along. It’s the system. It’s the structures around me.
I crashed out because I was forcing myself to measure my worth according to the standards of an overarching culture that I don’t actually align with. I was assigning myself value based on metrics and productivity that:
- Seemed near impossible to achieve
- Did not feel good to my body
- Operated under a value system that wasn’t truly my own
Aligning Your Self-Worth through Venus Retrograde
Venus represents value, yes. But Venus also has needs, she demands to be shown her worth. Self-worth is how you tell the world how to treat you.
When you measure your worth based on values that are not your own, you’re living out of alignment. Having a clear sense of your own values shows you how to prioritize your time and focus. Yes, you are worth it.
Venus Retrograde: A Time for Reflection
Venus retrograde invites us to reflect on and review our relationship to our self-worth and values, especially in the context of relationships.
