Venus Stations Retrograde at 08°29' Scorpio — "A Season to Re-Examine What You Love." A 41-day retrograde running today through 13 November 2026, starting in Scorpio before slipping back into Libra from 25 October.
Today's Daily Reading:
Last Quarter always asks you to release something, and today it's paired with Venus turning retrograde — the planet of love, value, and connection asking for an honest audit rather than a quick fix. The Moon in Cancer only deepens the invitation: this is emotional work, not transactional. Over the coming weeks, expect old relationship patterns, half-finished conversations, or forgotten affections to resurface. Today's 5 says don't resist the shake-up; let it move something loose. Moonstone is Cancer's own stone, doubly fitting on a Moon phase that asks for emotional honesty — carry it through Venus' opening days.
Today's Mindful Activity:
Hold a photo, object, or memory of one relationship in your hands or mind today, and simply notice what feeling rises in your chest — warmth, tightness, longing — without needing to act on it yet.
Today's Affirmation:
I can revisit what I value without losing what's good in it.
Crystal to Carry:
