TRUTH BOMB: You don’t miss them—you miss who you were.

Venus retrograde isn’t just about past lovers; it’s about past versions of you.

The woman who settled for less.

The one who ignored red flags and called it a carnival.

The version of you who spent too much on skincare because she thought glow came in a bottle.

This is a cosmic checkpoint, asking you to pause, reflect, and get real about what you truly desire in love, money and self-worth.

It’s less about rekindling old flames (though that can happen) and more about reclaiming the parts of yourself that you abandoned along the way.

So yes, you might feel the urge to text your ex. Don’t.

Mercury isn’t even retrograde (it will be but not quite yet 😉) so you can’t blame typos or “accidental” messages 🤦🏼‍♀️ and I get it girly you’re longing for attention, touch, whatever that may be…

Instead, ask yourself: is it them you miss, or the version of you that existed in that chapter?

Venus retrograde is here to help you close old loops, not re-enter them.

It’s time to raise your standards, not resurrect situationships ☠️

🌟 Ready to use this retrograde for a real glow-up? Let’s work together to unearth what’s been holding you back — because your next level of love, abundance, and self-worth starts with you.
