{Virtual} Venus Retrograde in Scorpio: Wounds, Retribution, & Shadows

PLEASE READ: This class is IN PERSON. TICKETS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE. Class fees are non transferable, we stick to the student agreements agreed upon during registration. Please ensure you are able to attend the scheduled class time.

We are entering the last Venus retrograde in Scorpio of our lifetimes. This is a powerful and often excruciating container for growth within our own personal circumstances, but also on the massive stage of collective justice. We will explore Venus in her archetypal forms of the banished, the violated, and the vengeful, using the significations of Venus’s time in Scorpio during this particular iteration. There will be a short lecture where we observe key dates of the Venus retrograde transit, as well as its typical indications using historical examples. This workshop will primarily include interactive chart explorations, in which participants can use their own natal chart to understand the impact of Venus’s transit through their personal underworlds. A ritually-created Venus retrograde tea blend will be made available for all participants. Bring a journal, blankets, and a mug for tea.
