You planted karmic seeds. Now Venus serves the tea.

The karmic seeds we’ve sown now begin to sprout in the quiet garden of retirement. The striving years have passed. Now, Venus arrives, offering a gentle cup of tea, a moment of ease we’ve perhaps earned without fully knowing.

This planet of beauty and comfort suggests a time for savoring life’s gentle pleasures. The hard work, the choices we made, now soften into a landscape of beauty and connection. Perhaps the universe acknowledges our efforts with this quiet indulgence.

Where Venus settles in our retirement sky, in which house and sign, tells us how this ease will unfold. In the house of home, a beautiful sanctuary awaits. In the house of partnership, shared joys deepen. In the house of pleasure, simple delights beckon.

Even the way Venus speaks to other planets in our chart adds to this karmic unfolding. Easy connections might amplify the joy. More challenging ones, perhaps a gentle reminder to cultivate beauty and harmony even now, to fully receive this offered peace.

Consider the seeds we planted in our younger years. Did we nurture beauty? Did we foster loving connections? Venus’s presence in retirement might reflect these past actions, a blossoming of what we’ve sown. Or perhaps it’s a gentle invitation to cultivate these now, in the quiet of our later years.

So, retirement becomes a time to receive. The karmic seeds, both known and unknown, now offer their yield. Venus, in her gentle way, invites us to rest, to find beauty, to connect with love. It’s a quiet acknowledgement of the life we’ve lived, a peaceful tea served in the afternoon of our years.
