There’s a common misconception that Venus’s retrograde period is challenging. While the “underworld” is usually intense, the retrograde phase of Venus can be intense, but it’s also a time of union and celebration.
This phase marks the completion of a 19-month cycle and a release of old, unhealthy habits connected to how you give and receive love, how you experience pleasure, and how you express your sexuality. It invites us to reflect on our most intimate relationships—those connected to love, sex, money, beauty, and all the aspects contributing to intimacy.
It’s a period of heightened sensitivity surrounding our relationships with love, sex, beauty, and money. This increased awareness allows us to deepen our connection to the things we cherish and learn to love the aspects we may struggle with.
I prefer to call Venus retrograde the “union phase,” as it supports us in coming into union with all things truly meant for us and supports us in letting go of all the things that aren’t.
At The Rose Lineage, I draw parallels between the Venus and feminine cycles. Like the feminine cycle, Venus astrology has four phases at each star point. The retrograde or union phase of Venus is akin to ovulation in the feminine cycle. During this time, Venus is closest to Earth and positioned between the Sun and Earth, making love with Venus as the love child.
This alignment creates a trinity-based consciousness of union. To cultivate the relationships we desire in this lifetime, we must embrace this trinity-based consciousness, with God at its center.
Restoring Our Worth and Navigating Love with Power and Grace
In a world where modern relationships often blur the sacred dance between masculine and feminine, it is vital that we, as women, reclaim our worth, embody our power, and restore the divine order of love. Too often, we lower our standards, compromise our essence, and seek external validation rather than remembering our inherent value as sacred, magnetic, and deeply intuitive beings. It is time to shift the narrative and embody our truth.
He Pursues, and She Approves
The natural flow of masculine and feminine polarity is pursuit and reception. The masculine thrives in the energy of seeking, conquering, and proving himself, while the feminine, in her power, chooses to approve or decline his advances. When we allow this sacred dance to unfold as designed, both the man and the woman find deep fulfillment.
A man must earn entrance to your temple because you are a treasure beyond measure. He may say he wants access to you freely, but in truth, he craves the process of earning it. This is the nature of masculine energy—it finds value in what is worked for and protected. When we give access too soon, we bypass this vital initiation process and risk being undervalued.
The Power of Attraction Over Pursuit
Many women have been conditioned to chase, to prove their worth, and to convince a man of their value. But chasing is not in the feminine’s authentic nature. The feminine is magnetic—she attracts, she does not pursue. A queen does not leave her throne to run after a man; she sits in her power and allows the right one to lean in.
This is how both masculine and feminine win. A genuine relationship can begin when a man steps into his role as a pursuer and a woman remains rooted in her magnetism. This creates balance, harmony, and a foundation of mutual respect.
Becoming Irreplaceable to a Man
A woman who understands her power knows she does not need to convince a man to stay. Instead, she embodies her radiance, softness, and depth in an irreplaceable way. When you make a man feel how he desires to feel—strong, respected, and inspired—he will naturally be drawn to you. But this does not mean shrinking yourself to fit his needs. Instead, it means standing in your grace, knowing that your presence is a gift.
The Value of Boundaries and Self-Worth
Allowing a man to value your time will determine how he values you. A man must feel that your presence is earned, not given freely without discernment. This means saying no when necessary, honoring your needs, and not being overly available.
A woman who constantly says yes, is always available, and gives without boundaries may be considered convenient but not necessarily valuable. Men, by nature, are wired to appreciate what they must work for. Sometimes, saying no shows a man that you are a woman of worth, that you respect yourself, and that your energy is sacred.
Access and Sacredness: Not Every Man Deserves Your Temple
Access creates blindness. When something is too readily available, it often loses its perceived value. This is why walking away from a man who is not sure about you is crucial.
A man should not have full access to your heart, time, energy, and body without first proving himself worthy. Your temple is sacred, and entrance must be earned. Giving too much too soon often leads to imbalance and a lack of appreciation. Let a man prove through consistent actions that he is worthy of receiving your essence.
Wife Raises the Standard
A woman of deep value does not settle for being treated as an option. She is a queen, an oracle, a sacred partner. She understands she is not meant to mother or fix a man. A wife raises the standards, holds him to the higher standard and raises the bar for him to rise. Therefore remember men shouldn’t have access to your wifey codes unless he plans on putting a ring on it. He will either rise to become the true husband/king or he will crumble and go back to being a boy where it feels safer for him.
