Venus Retrograde in Scorpio News Stories: Part 2

In this episode I share a second installment of news stories and cultural events that have been coinciding with the current Venus retrograde in the signs of Scorpio and Libra over the past few weeks. Along the way I examine how eight-year repetitions and the retrograde cazimi with the Sun have been showing up in stories involving past relationships, unearthed secrets, difficult family dynamics, and notable turning points in pop culture. Studying these repetitions as they unfold in real time provides a deeper perspective on the astrology underlying current events, and helps us understand the complex nature of Venus as a planet.
