Welcome to the Moon Moods Podcast!

In this episode Maris and Lauren deep dive into Venus retrograde. The retrograde begins on March 1st and ends on April 12th. Spanning both Aries and Pisces this Venus retrograde is asking us to get clear on our values, boundaries in relationships, and encourages authentic self expression. Retrogrades are periods of pause where we are looking back on a commitment, job, relationship, etc. to consider if it is still something that is aligned with our goals. Let's unpack this current retrograde and look back on recent retrogrades to get an idea of what we might expect this time!
