11/22/2023 0 Comments Venus trine jupiter 2021Eating the right amount of good, nutrient-dense calories gives your thyroid the message that all is well in the world, and that it’s ok to crank up your metabolism and burn fat!! What does it mean that Venus is in retrograde? So eat plenty of calories, and make them good calories. Your body doesn’t just digest food it also reads food to find out what’s up with the environment. Low-calorie dieting may be especially counterproductive now, while Venus is under stress. This tried-and-true phenomenon received some national attention after the New York Times published this article following up with contestants on the TV show The Biggest Loser in 2016. This is one reason that low-calorie dieting results in weight gain over the long term. The thyroid responds to a spikey/crashy blood sugar situation OR low calorie intake by downregulating or decreasing the rate at which the body burns calories. Venus and Mercury also relate to the thyroid gland. Sugar hits the same reward systems in the brain that cigarettes and addictive drugs do! Venus retrograde and weight loss Nevertheless, the brain is often reluctant to let go of these comforts. Eating sweets is a poor substitute for enjoying the sweetness of life. Venus retrograde gives us all an opportunity to look deeply at personal and family patterns relating to love, sweetness, and craving. How do you feel about yourself after you eat junk food? Try keeping a food-mood journal while Venus is in retrograde, to self-reflect and see what you learn. Notice the impact of sugary and starchy processed foods on your moods. Chips, bread, and breakfast cereals– unfortunately, some of America’s favorite comfort foods. Refined starches and wheat flour do, too. It’s not just sweets and soft drinks that do this. Refined sugars cause blood sugar to rise faster than the system can easily cope with. At issue is the form the glucose comes in, and how much. Sugar, aka glucose, isn’t bad on its own– in fact, our blood and brains rely on it. In medical astrology, Venus is associated with sugar and sweetness in all forms- most notably, blood sugar. A drab exterior or a coat of ugly paint may be cloaking something of real worth. It’s a great time to shop for a bargain if you know your market. We tend to fall for style rather than substance when Venus is retrograde. There will be good bargains if you know what you’re looking for. But save your money– unless you really know what you’re looking for. Experiment with new styles, shapes, and colors. Avoid spending a lot of cash on something that you might not like anymore a few months down the road. Venus retrograde can delay money and payments. A new “sizzle” could fizzle out when Venus retrograde is over. You may yearn for a past love or struggle to understand your own strange attractions at this time. There’s a strange kind of intensity and longing that tends not to go anywhere. This is not the time to finalize either commitments or separations, as the value or lack thereof in the relationship might not be apparent to you now. Stay open to these reflections and their deeper meanings. It’s about what you’re seeing in the other person that is really about yourself. You may think it’s about the other person, but it’s not. That’s why your connection with yourself is the most important now. But actually, they are a reflection of your own light, your own worthiness. As love shines her light on your self-worth and lovability, it’s understandable that you would assume the intensified feelings are about the object of your affection. Dating can be a precarious hall of mirrors. Venus retrograde isn’t a red light on love relationships, but it is a flashing yellow.
