252. In Her Absence: Venus Retrogrades with Amiya Alexandra of Resonance Astrology
In this episode, Britten is joined by Amiya Alexandra of Resonance Astrology to talk about the upcoming Venus retrograde. They begin with the basics of the retrograde itself, then move into relationships, intimacy, jealousy, endings, and what it can mean to consciously engage with Venus rather than treating a retrograde as something that is simply happening to us.
Topics They Cover:
-
The basics of Venus retrograde, including the pre- and post-shadow periods, the 18-month cycle, and why retrogrades aren't necessarily bad.
-
Venus as the glue of the zodiac and an opportunity to reassess the relationships in our lives, including our relationships with ourselves, pleasure, health, spirit, and the people around us.
-
The 8-year Venus cycle and what looking back at the last Venus retrograde in Libra and Scorpio can reveal.
-
The Libra and Scorpio themes of intimacy, boundaries versus walls, obsession, possession, jealousy, and the unmet needs underneath them.
-
Personal stories of Venus retrogrades, including relationship conflict and repair, changing self-presentation, returning collaborators, and the grief that can come with endings.
-
Ways to consciously work with Venus through altars, ritual, the Orphic Hymn, and building a relationship with Venus rather than simply waiting for her to do something for us.
Amiya describes herself as a relational astrologer, specifically in relationship to the planets. For her, the invitation is to engage with Venus, especially during her absence, and come out of the retrograde in an empowered state.
