Today, retrograde Venus and the Sun will align, creating what is known as the Venus Star Point. The merging of the Sun and Venus indicates a rebirth of Venus’s energy and her gradual emergence from an evening star to a morning star. Venus energy teaches us that the key to creating the life we desire lies in self-love first. Under this energy, your heart may experience its own rebirth too. You may feel your heart healing the wounds you never thought would leave you. You may feel yourself opening up to a greater love, or perhaps releasing blocks that have been preventing you from feeling the love that you are. Right now, under the Venus Retrograde energies, you are on an inward journey reclaiming aspects of yourself that have been forgotten, denied or undervalued. Today, allow the Venus energy to help you to embrace your unique qualities, and watch as you naturally begin to draw in people who appreciate you for who you are. Today, begin to value who you are and no matter what you’ve been through or are currently experiencing, trust that you will soon emerge bolder and brighter than ever. Today, acknowledge that you have always been a dazzling star. You're now in the process of reclaiming your brilliance. Today allow the Venus energy to help you to gain new clarity, reach a new point of forgiveness, or to help you to open up to a deeper sense of self love and acceptance.

Just for today, I recognize that I have come to this planet to learn to love myself more and to share that love with others. As I move through the layers of other people's opinions and beliefs, I see within myself a magnificent being-wise and beauty. I love what I see in me. I am loved and accepted exactly as I am right here and right now. I am divinely protected, guided and loved. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.
