What this retrograde invites

A reading signed by Elvira, applied to Venus retrograde.

Venus speaks of love, connection, worth, what pleases you and what you value. When it goes retrograde, these areas turn inward: a time to review a relationship, understand what you truly want, rediscover a forgotten taste, rather than starting something new on impulse.

A moment to reassess, not to judge yourself. What returns, a person, a desire, a question of worth, asks to be looked at squarely, gently, before you decide.
