7 January 2022 – Venus Retrograde in Capricorn

2022 Vibes…

“Rest and laughter are the most spiritual and subversive acts of all.” Anne Lamott

Stop Chasing Purpose and Focus on Wellness – a Tedx Talk

I have been rethinking how I set goals and how I move forward in life. Achieving a goal has never *really* satisfied me in the way that we have been conditioned to believe it should. I often felt empty after achieving something I wanted – even if I had worked hard to get it, learnt a lot in the process etc. etc. I also struggled with feeling that emptiness when I *didn’t* achieve the things I wanted to – feeling a little lost like perhaps I had set the wrong goal, I wasn’t being supported in pursuit of that goal or creating some other meaning for why things hadn’t turned out the way I planned. Either way, goals were creating tension and disruption to the flow of my life

So I’ve been looking at other ways to create structure, looking at other ways of creating rhythm and meaning rather than goal-setting

I absolutely loved this TedX talk by a beautiful young woman, Chloe Hakim-Moore, where she concludes…instead of setting arbitrary goals to represent fulfillment or purpose, finding fulfillment actually exists in answering the question “What does health/wellness look like for me physically, spiritually, emotionally?” Essentially…what does it mean to cultivate inner peace?

Anytime we are doing things to cultivate our inner peace and wellness we are fulfilling our purpose, we are achieving all that we need to achieve, we are changing the world with our very presence

So don’t be hard on yourself about setting goals, instead allow yourself to answer the question of what wellness looks like for you, and what actions can you take to fill your inner world with peace 😘

and One More Thing

Venus Retrograde in Capricorn 🌟

I’ve been so excited to talk about this but the ‘lurgy’ got me and my brain has not been functioning at all…anyone else with COVID had this?!

So we are halfway through this Venus Retrograde through Capricorn – officially from 19 December 2021 to 29 January 2022

Venus is the planet of beauty, abundance, love and money…ahh ruling my Libra Sun I have a deep affinity with this planet…the luxury, aesthetic and joy in romance and love, along with a deep connection to the energetic bliss of money

Capricorn is all about long-term visions, goal-oriented, hard-working and ambitious. The sea-goat is not normally known as a romantic…

So what does Venus Retrograde in Capricorn mean for us?

It’s a chance for restructuring and rediscovering our taste, our romantic desires, our boundaries, our limitations, our long-term values, and our relationship with finances and material abundance

It’s an opportunity to reassess, to go back over, to decide again…what you want long-term in romance, in the way you work with your finances, in how you weave in the feelings of luxury, abundance and pleasure into the long term visions and big ambitions for your life..

And isn’t January a glorious time to do it

✍️Journal or ponder on these questions in this beautiful Venus Retrograde energy

In what ways does my vision for my life make space for joy, love and abundance?

Does my aesthetic/my visual self-identity reflect the truth about how I see myself and how I would like others to see me?

Enjoy this season of reflection on these gorgeous Venusian themes my loves 🥰
