Retro Venus? Luxury now, regret later

Venus turns back. Our wants twist. Luxury calls, a siren song of now. But a shadow hangs – regret later. Let’s feel the pull of beauty, the ache it might leave in our empty coffers.

Venus direct loves lovely things. It guides our taste, our spending on joy. But when it walks backward, what we desire shifts. Old wants lose their shine. We might buy on impulse, reasons unclear. Luxury whispers, promising quick delight.

The danger lies in mistaking a fleeting urge for true need. That costly bag, the gleaming jewel, the rushed, grand escape – all seem vital now. A voice says, “You deserve this.” But this backward Venus hints these buys might not feed our deeper selves. Later, as Venus moves forward, these treasures might feel like mistakes, a drain on what we saved, bringing little lasting joy.

Sadness can cloud this time. We might doubt our worth, seeking it in things. The need to look rich, successful, grows strong. We tell ourselves these buys are for us, for our image. But true worth lives inside. Joy bought now might fade fast, leaving only the lightness of an empty bank account.

Old habits can return with this backward spin. We might again use things to fill a void, to impress. This past meeting the twisted wants of now can lead to thoughtless spending. The clear mind needed for good money choices gets lost in this inward turn, this confusing time. Our savings suffer for a joy that doesn’t last.

So, when Venus walks back, luxury’s call can be strong, but false. The quick thrill might bring a long regret, a lightness not of joy, but of lost savings. This celestial turn asks us to look deeper at what we truly value, to hold onto our funds, lest we face the quiet sadness of a beautiful thing bought in haste, now a reminder of a fleeting desire and an emptier future.
