We're back for Season Three of Venus Rises!
Rebecca and Bronwyn are back to guide you through the tumultuous skies of 2023. We'll be dropping in when the big transits come along with guidance and supports, starting with August's Venus Retrograde in Leo.
Glad to see us back? Please review, share, and follow!
Show Notes - Season 3 Episode One - Venus Retrograde in Leo 2023
**Understanding the Venus Retrograde Cycle (1:00 - 3:30)**
- Venus stations retrograde roughly every 18 months over an eight-year period, forming a five-pointed star pattern in the sky.
- Venus retrograde provides an opportunity to explore unseen aspects of Venus and undergo an inner journey.**Pre-Shadow Period and Themes of the Retrograde (3:30 - 6:13)**
- The pre-shadow period began on June 19, offering a preview of the upcoming retrograde themes.
- The three phases of the retrograde are the pre-shadow (preview), the retrograde (active period), and the post-shadow (review and cleanup).- People with planets in fixed signs (Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio) between 12 and 28 degrees will be strongly affected, as well as those with Taurus and Libra-ruled houses in their chart.
**What Venus Represents (6:13 - 10:31)**
- Venus rules values, money, love, relationships, women+, beauty, arts, and the exchange of energy with others.- Venus is associated with the heart chakra and represents the harmonious balance and beauty in life.
- A Venus retrograde can be an opportunity to reassess our values, relationships, and finances.
**Leo Attributes and Potential Pitfalls (10:31 - 13:52)**
- Leo is associated with creativity, playfulness, joy, drama, royalty, and being seen.
- Unhealthy Leo traits may include craving attention, self-absorption, drama, or manipulation for approval.
**Exploring Shame and Self-Love (13:52 - 17:33)**
- During the retrograde, one may encounter obstacles to self-love and areas where they feel unworthy of love or validation.
- Shame can lead to an implosion of positive energy, hindering the ability to radiate warmth and self-acceptance.
- Looking back at past experiences of growth and self-confidence can help overcome self-doubt.
**Nurturing the Positive Leo Archetypes (17:33 - 19:23)**
- Positive Leo traits include warmth, generosity, creativity, and being a source of light for others.
- Healthy Leo energy fosters genuine connections, while unhealthy aspects may involve seeking external validation.
**Navigating Relationships During the Retrograde (19:23 - 22:13)**
- In relationships, be aware of the potential for manipulation or emotional demands due to insecurity.
- The retrograde can prompt reassessment and deeper understanding of relationship dynamics.
**Embracing the Underworld Journey (22:13 - 25:18)**
- The retrograde journey can be likened to the Persephone myth, with themes of descent and renewal.
- Embrace the cyclical nature of life and transformation during the Venus retrograde.
- Utilize this period for introspection and growth, understanding that challenges can lead to evolution.
- Reconnecting with people from the past may be significant during this period.
Supports during Venus Retrograde:
- Practicing the "Bliss Journal" - Record something delightful that brings bliss every day.
- Rose Water or Rose Oil - Connects with Venus' love and appreciation, use in diffusers, baths, or drinks.
- Rose Hibiscus Tea - A heart-opening and Venusian beverage.
- Hawthorn and Crab Apple - Herbal supports for the heart, self-love, and self-compassion.
- Malachite - A green stone supporting emotional balance and self-expression.
Cautionary Notes (Don'ts):
- Avoid making big investments or purchases during Venus Retrograde.
- Be mindful of communications during the Mercury-Venus retrograde overlap, as misunderstandings may arise.
- Beware of impulsive actions during Venus square Uranus; overindulgence and excess might occur.
- Avoid major relationship decisions or reconciliations during Venus Retrograde, especially with the Jupiter and Uranus squares.
This is the week of the First Quarter Moon in Leo, bringing choice points that require heart. We are looking at a week of rapid embodiment, as personal planets enter the fertile signs and Taurus planets collide with Uranus.

Welcome to Season Two!
The call of this New Moon, and the energy of this week, is to acknowledge the shadow (and the shadow work of the last year) but take decisive, self-motivated action to move on from it. What are the real-life, real-world courageous actions you can take this week to begin that forward motion?
I'll be looking at one listener chart each week. Want me to look at your chart during the podcast? Send me your birth info! astrology@bronwynsimons.com

Between the Self and Others: Episode 31 - Astrological Events of Mar 22 - 29 2021
We are experiencing the last bits of the transition finishing the zodiac of the year. Moving from the depths of Pisces to the spark of Aries can be confusing, like being exhausted and exhilarated at the same time. With two planets (the Sun and Venus) freshly moved into fiery Aries, we feel the urge to push forward into the new with initiatory zeal. While the potential for emergence feels exciting, the path forward may not be entirely clear. Mercury, the planet that rules our thinking, is still lost in a Piscean fog. There will be frustrations and frayed tempers over unclear communication and misunderstandings. We are cautioned to be mindful of our words all week; don’t let impatience overtake you! On the Full Moon in Libra this coming Sunday, relationships are drawn into the spotlight, showing us that we can create healthy boundaries without running roughshod. There are opportunities for developing autonomy and building toward a better future, but we need to be aware of how we are treating others and maintain flexibility as the path unfolds.

A Time of Transition: Episode 30 - Astrological Events of Mar 15 - 22 2021
This week holds the magic of a bardo period as we navigate the last degrees of Pisces and the astrological year dissolves and renews. We are in the last bits of the balsamic period for the entire year.
Before we move into the invigorating energy of rebirth and springtime, take a final swim in the watery depths of Pisces. This is an opportunity to shed calcified and imposed identities we have been carrying. This week we can release the weight of the past and the parts of ourselves we don’t wish to carry forward with forgiveness and compassion. The renewed authenticity you find in the space of letting go is the seed you will plant and nurture throughout the coming year. This is a chance to reinvent and reinvest in ourselves. It’s a time of extraordinary sensitivity and raw potential as we sit poised between form and formlessness. We are bridging the past and the future. Transitions are never easy, so be gentle with yourself and everyone around you. Next week we hit the ground running - be sure you are rested and ready.

Going With the Flow: Episode 29 - Astrological Events of Mar 8 - 15 2021
This week we are settling into an experiential understanding of what Pisces means. The earlier part of the week is bound to be more productive. A multiplicity of ideas and options may have you doing things twice (or more) as you continue to receive insight that informs your decision making process. As the New Moon moves into position in Pisces mid-week, it will join the Sun, Venus and Neptune. At this time we are encouraged to participate in the radical act of nonproductivity. View this as an opportunity to rest and be still, checking in with your intuition. Emotional and intuitive sensitivities will be high. Allow yourself to feel into situations and investigate with your gut. Listen to what your feelings are telling you. The skies are calling us to surrender to the flow in order to broaden our horizons. The planets are providing us with ample fruit to dream into the next phases of our lives. The best way to work with these energies is to let go of the edges of things, remembering that rest and relaxation are part of the process. Embrace the dreamtime to vision into the future.
Correction: Moon in Aries sextiles Saturn in Aquarius on SUNDAY, March 14th at 11:57am PST, which is our elected time to start New Moon rituals - not Saturday. :) Apologies.

Course Correction: Episode 28 - Astrological Events of Mar 1 - 8 2021 After a long slog, the skies are surprisingly supportive this week - full of great opportunities for learning and even some windfalls around love and money. Working with an exalted Venus in Pisces offers the grace to find workarounds, forgiveness and the beauty in embracing life as it is. A sense of ease and flow returns. There is peace and acceptance in seeing things as they are, instead of how we wanted them to be. As we look to the recent past, we are able to see where we needed to reconfigure and adjust our perceptions - and yes, even identify where we may have been wrong. Accepting and admitting former errors allows us to advance unfettered. Ideas for successful movement forward are available in abundance. Adaptability and patience are the watchwords as we adjust to this gentle course correction. This week has the potential to reorient our lives to true north, helping us get back on the path to a brighter future.

Body, Mind and Spirit: Episode 27 - Astrological Events of Feb 22 - Mar 01 2021 This week offers us an opportunity to catch up emotionally with last week’s major event: the Saturn Uranus square. This is a time of emotional decompression. We can slow down and pause to honor the intensity of all that has passed in recent months. With so much analysis, deconstruction, dialogue and mental focus on the nature of our situation, we may have left our feeling bodies by the wayside. This week we can put our thinking selves on the shelf for a moment and ease into the peaceful sanctuary of movement or music, creativity and art. In the chaos of recent times have you forgotten the beauty that surrounds you? Can you surrender to your feelings without judgment? The Full Moon offers us an opportunity to get clear around how we can empower ourselves through this vulnerable time. Remember that art is a therapeutic experience, more about process than product. We can use it this week to merge feelings with thought, leading us to deeper wisdom and more compassionate understanding.

Implementing Change: Episode 26 - Astrological Events of Feb 15 - 22 2021
This week we are experiencing part one of a three part story as Uranus squares Saturn. Resistance to and from outdated societal structures is an ongoing theme, as we attempt to make changes to the world we live in. Trying to make sense of things through clear thought or communication will be challenging this week while Mercury comes to a halt in the sky, highlighting confusion about our place in society. It will be worthwhile to focus on self-love, developing trust in the beauty of our own unique contributions. We can embrace what makes us different as the gift we offer in service to the collective. Individual voices will join together and be raised mid-week, speaking out against injustice. If resistance is met as unexpected changes arise, we are encouraged to stay flexible. Things will be brought to the surface this week. Consider what arises as an opportunity to heal the deep internal wounds that prevent us from bringing our own bright light to the groups we participate in.

Reviewing Belief Systems: Episode 25 - Astrological Events of Feb 8 - 15 2021
The past month has been an incubator for powerful conversations brought to the fore from the rollercoaster of 2020. This week offers us opportunities to clarify our minds around these topics. Some perspectives are up for review as we discover where we have been too inflexible in our thinking. Deep internal shifts around ideology and belief systems will be taking place. With the balsamic phase of the Moon, we can distill what we want to carry forward and release the rigid behaviors that have been blocking our progress. Mercury is still retrograde, allowing us time to reconsider our opinions. Bear witness to conversations taking place on a greater scale and within your own mind. Is there a place where you are being encouraged to embrace broader perspectives by the communities you participate in? There will be moments of illumination as our limiting thought patterns are revealed. After a bit of realignment, optimism and exuberance come shining through! We are cautioned against going overboard in excitement to dismantle the old while building the new. Maintaining mental and emotional balance will ensure that we are fully able to benefit from clarity of vision Aquarius has on offer.

Reconfiguring Relationships: Episode 24 - Astrological Events of Feb 1 - 8 2021
This week brings us into deep introspection and reflection around Venusian issues: self-love, relationships, inner balance, and our investments. We are offered opportunities to improve our communication and find new ways of partnering. There’s plenty up for review. It’s a chance to take a long hard look at some of our more intense emotions. Where are embedded thought patterns and protective behaviors preventing us from authenticity and intimacy? After a tough but fruitful conversation with ourselves, we can revamp the ways we think of ourselves and the way we work with others. The long distance Aquarian perspective (courtesy of a five planet stellium) provides a touch of emotional distance to help us regain a sense of clarity after some miscommunication. We are called to reforge our relationships, allowing for greater participation in community, despite our seeming isolation.

Focusing on Human Family: Episode 23 - Astrological Events of Jan 24 - 30 2021
We have two big events in the sky week: a Full Moon in Leo and Mercury turning retrograde in Aquarius. The spotlight centers on the part we play as individuals within the society, community and our friendships. Unconscious awareness, beliefs and dreams will be making their way to the surface in our relationships. This includes our participation in group dynamics through the digital medium of the internet which, for many of us these days, serves as our primary means of communication. Disagreements and misinterpretation may surface. If things take an unexpected or disruptive turn, be open to the opportunity for clarification. Dig deep and own your limitations and fears - with the nature of a full moon our tendency may be to project. This week we are offered the capacity to rise above chaotic emotional response with a greater understanding of how we give and receive love. We can release subconscious patterns of defensiveness and restrictive self-preservation to embrace something greater and deeper, creating a sounder level of trust and belonging within our families of choice. Recognize what is truly worth fighting for and recalibrate your perceptions. Allow yourself to fearlessly lean into the higher octave of love.

Unexpected Events: Episode 22 - Astrological Events of Jan 17 - 23 2021
Much of the activity in the sky this week focuses on the planet Uranus. Known for its surprising and disruptive nature, Uranus ushers in unexpected events. There is strong potential for explosive reactivity and volatility. Our nervous systems may be hyper-stimulated. The energy will feel electrical and enervating, so much so that we should be mindful of guarding our physical and emotional bodies from excess stimulation. There is the possibility of “getting carried away”. We are encouraged to somaticize emotions and allow our feelings to move through our bodies, as Uranian events that seem beyond our control unfold. Watch for impatience, anxiety, restlessness and fight or flight feelings. We can liberate excess mental energy by physically channeling it into tangible projects and creativity. On the precipice of a huge historic turning point, the changes we can make in our own lives will add to a sense of groundedness and security within the greater whole. As we hold space with our hopes for the future, staying present in the moment is key.

Seeking Stability Within: Episode 21 - Astrological Events of Jan 10 - 16 2021
Rough and tumble, the week is a giant mixed bag as we continue to bridge the past and the future. In all ways imaginable we need surge protection for our psyches this week. We are prompted to find security and nourishment with those around us and in our immediate environment as shock waves continue to reverberate from the world stage. With the sky so full of disruptive energies, cultivating practices that leave us grounded yet flexible will help us hold steady as we experience more tumultuous change on a collective level. The New Moon in Capricorn mid-week provides us with the opportunity to set intentions and firmly root them into our lives. We can fortify these intentions by fully embracing all we have endured over the past year, in recognition of our own resiliency. Acknowledging our own strength and seeking ways to embody stabilization will assist us in remaining tenaciously rooted while we weather the winds of change.

Dynamic Movement Toward Our True Values: Episode 20 - Astrological Events of Jan 3 - 9 2021
The week begins with an opportunity to make progress with detailed planning - as a seed moment for the coming year. With three personal planets switching signs this week, the changing energies will be palpable. These transitions may not feel entirely gentle as we shift to a heightened focus on security and stability. Similar to landing in a plane after cruising at high speeds, we are called to adjust to a slower, more steady pace. We are offered practicality in pursuit of goals, and can utilize tenacity and perseverance in creating new paths toward what we truly value. This week is a time of investment in our future selves, bringing our dreams down to earth and responsibly taking the steps needed to bring our larger visions into reality.

Cautious Strategic Planning: Episode 19 - Astrological Events of Dec 27 2020 - Jan 2 2021
The sky is relatively calm this week. Our primary focus will be illuminated by the Full Moon in Cancer. This full moon is a great chance for emotional release and self-nurturing, providing a balm for the pain of the last year and an assist in letting go. We are offered a preview of how we will be required to shift and pivot with flexibility in the coming year. Take note and incorporate these insights into your intentions for the immediate and long term future. This is a week of gentle release and subtle preparation.
The transition into 2021 is the perfect time to create resolutions and actually have them stick. Changes begun now will require continual commitment, but this year, more than other years, we understand that all things worth doing take time.

With three planets switching signs last week and two this week, changes abound. Some of the same old stories will be springing up again, but now they’re playing out in a different atmosphere. One that is primed for change. It is a time of transition. Our thinking may become more serious and practical as we turn to a more forward focused and strategic mindset as we consider reformatting our long term plans. The sky is offering us a great opportunity for enduring change. We can seize what’s on offer by finally and honestly releasing those things that are congesting our environment and mindscape. Old habits and thought patterns can truly be banished to the past. Midweek, through an eruption of emotion, our attention may be drawn to something that needs letting go. Watch responses and reactions for cues. On the Winter Solstice, we experience the darkest day of the Northern Hemisphere - after this the light begins to grow as the days will lengthen. At this time of new beginnings we can take a beat to rest while we adjust and recalibrate our internal structures. With so much shifting energetically, it may take a moment for us to regain our bearings, but commitments made to a more promising future can be fruitfully seeded now. It’s the perfect time to clear space for the new and set intentions for the coming years.

It’s a pivotal time of planting seeds for new beginnings, short-term and long-term. We are offered an opportunity for release on many levels. The focus of this energy is on thought, communications, perceptions. In all honesty, what old beliefs and behaviors need to be cleared away to make space for the new? If something seems to be crumbling, some foundation has shifted, take note. Our attention has been drawn to situations and systems that are no longer working and need to be reformatted or changed to sustain us for the future. Eclipses are times of revelation and exposure. Pay attention to what new information comes to light - it will be a helpful aid in determining how we want to move forward.

Echoes of Completion: Episode 16: Astrological Events of December 6 - 12 2020
We are here in the midst of the eclipse portal, a time of shifting tides, between the lunar and solar eclipses. Things may be falling away from our lives in rapid succession, clearing the path and creating space for new structures yet to come. It is a time of reassessment that may come with rewards or sudden changes. Strategizing and planning for the future is highly supported this week. We are encouraged to take a long view and shift to a broader perspective looking forward. Hope is being reborn as we ready ourselves to thankfully put 2020 in the rearview mirror. What things would you like to release as so many cycles come to a close? What needs to be disengaged to clear space for the new? Courage and optimism are available to aid us in the sometimes painful process of letting go. The sky is brimming with opportunities for completion this week as we prepare to move forward and embrace a world of change.
