Introduction
Whew! It’s been a long journey into Venus’ shadow realm but now she is finally direct. Since early December, you have been asked to become more mindful of the nature of your ambitions, while confronting some of your deepest insecurities. In these first few weeks of 2022, there’s been a calling to make peace within and without – evolving beyond relationships that no longer define you and finding your way to standing more fully in your integrity.
January brought the calling for sacred pause – a time to regroup, reflect, release and reconnect with the things that are most important to you. You may have also been challenged to let go of attachments that do not serve you on the level of soul.
As this Lunar cycle winds down (between now and Monday night) – this is a time to be gentle with yourself. See below for my notes on key areas of reflection, for each zodiac sign, over the month of February.
