About this Event

Dreaming a New Love Story:

A Guided Astrological Journey to Reimagine the Way You Love

In the Astrology world, Venus retrograde gets stereotyped as “the time when your ex texts you out of the blue”. But this surface-level read misses the deeper invitation of this precious time period: an opportunity to re-evaluate what we desire, how we relate, what we value, and the patterns we recreate over and over in our closest relationships.

Retrogrades impact us whether we like it or not; what we get to choose is how much we want to consciously participate. What you’ll find when you do choose to participate is that there is rich potential to understand and transform how you relate to others.

Dreaming a New Love Story is a guided experience, spanning Venus’s full retrograde story, from the first whispers of the pre-shadow on August 31 through the closing of the post-shadow on December 15. If these terms sound like gibberish, worry not! You will learn everything you need to know along the way in beginner-friendly language!

You’ll begin with a recorded teaching to get you up to speed on Venus and what her retrograde means, plus a workbook mapping the important dates of the cycle. As the weeks unfold, you’ll track what is actually happening in your relationships, desires, values, finances, self-worth and capacity to give and receive love.

By the end, the goal is not simply to know more stuff. It is to be able to look back and identify the story that unfolded: what Venus brought to the surface to be reconsidered, and what you want to carry forward differently.
