Show Notes
In this episode I examine recent news stories happening under Venus retrograde in Scorpio and trace how many of them echo earlier events that happened under the same alignment.
Throughout the episode I go through current headlines involving things like mysteries, court cases, celebrity relationships, and pop culture, connecting them back to events from previous Venus retrograde in Scorpio periods in 2018, 2010, 2002, 1994, and even as far back as 1938.
I also highlight standalone stories that serve as clear thematic examples of Venus retrograde in Scorpio right now, including difficult mother dynamics, espionage, and buried secrets coming to light.
I feel like documenting these stories as they happen gives us a rare opportunity to see how planetary cycles connect the past with the present, while at the same time sharpening our practical understanding of core astrological concepts like Venus, Scorpio, detriment, and retrograde motion.
