Your Beauty Birthday

The Venus return is an important astrological cycle, happening once in every year / year and a half in everyone’s life (exact date depends on the planet’s retrograde movements). On the date, when transit Venus in the sky joins the exact point where Venus was when you were born, is the date of what’s called the Venus Return, aka your “Beauty Birthday”. But why should you care? Because Venus represents the divine feminine, love, nature, beauty, style, and even your money.

When Venus returns to the exact degree of where it is in your horoscope, a new cycle starts related to everything that Venus represents. Venusian things are also the five senses - sight, smell, touch, hearing and taste, therefore everything that is associated with the 5 senses can be “reset”, from how we love to what we eat, what make up we wear to how we use our money. This can also act as a forecast how these themes play out in our lives in the forthcoming year.

It is great to earmark your “Beauty Birthday” aka your Venus return day to utilise great Venusian energies. A day for considering the following activities can come up trumps.

1. How do I look?
Is it time for a makeover? Shopping for key pieces for updating your look, this day is perfect for that. A hair appointment or even booking a photographer for those new headshots is in the bag. Venus rules our self-esteem and surely activities like these can really help lift spirits. You are truly magnetic on your Beauty Birthday, so watch out for people walking up to you and complimenting you, or your dating app inbox is getting full up.

2. How does my immediate environment feel?
It is time for beautifying our surroundings? It is maybe time for that new rug or a stylish desk lamp you’ve been eyeing for a while? Venus rules nature, getting some statement greenery for your den could also serve you well. Some decluttering and streamlining our living and working quarters can be very positive today. Throw out what doesn’t align with you anymore (this can come in handy at one of the points below) to make way for the new.

3. What do I eat?
Thinking about eating more healthily is very much supported as Venus rules everything green. Enjoy a lovely big salad on your Beauty Birthday to set yourself up for a new lifestyle. You can also put half the avocado in the salad and half of it you can use as a facemask. But fear not, if you would just like to totally overindulge on this day, that’s ok! Venus rules all that is sweet and all that is tasty.

4. How do I spend my money and what do I spend my money on?
Venus doesn’t just rule aesthetics, but our money, too. Have you been overspending on things that are supposed to make you feel better? Did it? Perhaps today is the day when you have a look at that dreaded credit card statement and make a budget plan. Cut down on those obligatory after-work-Margaritas and invest in something that you really truly value in the long run.

5. How and who do I love?
Venus also rules affection, loveliness and grace. Keeping these in mind (and remembering them) can bring you a lot of joy, not just on this day, but any day. If you are single, the question is do you deserve to be single? All love starts with self love, therefore the relationship we have with ourselves colours the way and ability we love others. Starting with true self care, and I don’t mean a spa day (although quite fitting) kinda self care, maybe today we can start reframing this question and the possible answers that we deserve.

The Universe can also send you signs about your upcoming Venus - year, therefore watch out for messages throughout the day. Did a long lost relative contact you? Or a blast from the past climbed into your DMs? Did you get a letter from the bank about some serious investment offer? Definitely bare in mind what is happening on this day + / - one day. If you keep arguing with your BFF, this can signal that the whole year is about disagreements with your female friends. If out of the blue, your new partner surprises you with a weekend away in Paris, then it can signify a year with a lot of love and sensuality. If you were to end up in the new trendy spot in town, trying glorious food and wine all evening, then it most likely be a year of favouring gastronomic delights.

Moreover, don’t discount intuitive messages either, they are letting you know about something or someone in a very intricate way. Trust yourself and your connection to the Divine power. Whatever is meant to be yours, is yours. Overall, just have fun with it, the energies are here to support you! I am happy to look at your date of your Venus return, so please get in touch.
