On March 7, I was about to e-mail 1 piece of information to someone in my business network and go to bed. It was almost 11 PM.
But I could not find a file. That was a very important file, so I was searching for it all over, getting more and more upset.
As I was doing that, my file cabinet toppled over and broke to pieces, with papers flying all over the room. But I found what I was looking for.
It was simply misfiled.
All night long I was refiling my documents, and, as I was doing it, I was re-thinking my business – or, rather, the way I was doing it.
Ever since I’ve lost my major client on 10/25/07, I’ve been working on different avenues of expansion.
In slightly more than a year, I’ve got quite a few of them. So, while sifting through papers through the night, I finally realized that I was overwhelmed. If I don’t hire someone now, most of my efforts would go to waste, as I cannot follow up on all those leads and do my core work, and be the mother that I want to be to my child. Thank God for falling cabinets!
And thank God for Venus going retrograde.
When a planet goes retrograde (i.e. appearing to go backwards in the sky), we have the opportunity to re-think / re-do whatever that planet represents generally and in our personal horoscopes.
Venus deals generally with what we value. This means money, beautiful things, and, of course, this applies to people we value.
So we get the chance to revalue our important relationships as well.
That is why times when Venus retrogrades are littered with all kinds of painful break-ups.
In my chart, Venus also represents my business, and, invariably, every time it retrogrades, I dream of new ways of doing business.
As an astrologer, however, I know not to start anything new or make permanent changes until it goes direct again. That is when the world sobers up, and our re-thought values get the reality check.
Meanwhile, the world is drank with dreams and nightmares. Everyone is rocking the boat, and a few will fall over.
From 4/17 until 5/20 we are going to be re-thinking our revaluations, and the time to take definitive action would be the end of May. That when our vision finally gets corrected, and we can see straight.
Meanwhile, I will talk to a few people, see if that is the right way to go, see if they are right for me. I may even give them a try before 5/20. I may also decide to simply drop a few projects, and concentrate on those that are ready to be milked. I will also get me a new filing cabinet.
