Before becoming the beautiful and complex jewel that dazzles the eye, fine gemstones such as diamonds, rubies and emeralds go through a repetitive, arduous process that involves techniques such as tumbling, sanding and polishing. As a Child of Venus, you undergo a similar psychological process as you grow. Difficult experiences help to refine and shape you, highlighting different facets of your inner beauty.

Over time, the results can be stunning. Currently, your Ruling Planet is temporarily moving backwards. In fact, it’s reversing right into the previous sign. And, it’s having an extended difficult “conversation” with a powerful, superior someone. Altogether, this suggests that you too are now in a “tumbling” moment. Taking a look at your own life, can you identify areas where you need to backtrack, apologize or set stronger limits? You may feel the pain of separation from a loved one, whether it’s physical or emotional distance. Perhaps you’re paying off a debt or going without that new pair of shoes now to get that upgraded vehicle later. You’re forced to prioritize and develop discipline. Whatever it is, take your licks willingly and learn from it. The effort squeezes you into the jewel you are becoming. Your Ruling Planet turns direct once again on April 15. Check back here then to see what this means for you!
