Key Outcomes The group aligned on using the Libra New Moon and Venus Retrograde as a period for authentic relating and releasing old patterns of self-preservation and perfectionism. 12 Participants identified how these archetypes manifest in their specific astrological houses and personal lives, with a focus on grief, softening, and redefining self-worth. 34 Decisions Made - Intention Setting: The group adopted a general intention to be open to what is emerging to be released and grieved for more authentic relating. 5 - Venus Retrograde Approach: The process is framed as a death-rebirth journey into the subconscious to identify and let go of attachments that no longer serve the authentic self. 67 Archetypal Framework - Libra Essence: Centered on relating, harmony, and balanced interaction; it emerges from a fear of conflict, isolation, and exclusion. 18 - Venus Yang (Libra): Reaching out, drawing in, and engaging in reciprocal communication; in imbalance, it can manifest as over-talking or people-pleasing. 910 - Venus Yin (Taurus): Focused on self-preservation, self-worth, and resources; in imbalance, it can lead to possessiveness or low self-worth. 1112 - Aries/Mars: The impulse to act and initiate conversation; underconfident Mars may struggle to start the relating process. 13 - Scorpio (Venus Retrograde): Represents depth, truth-seeking, and the "underworld" where uncomfortable themes like loss, betrayal, and death are explored. 314 Key Dates & Astrological Events - Libra New Moon: Occurs at 17 degrees Libra on the following morning at 11:50 AM. 1 - Venus Retrograde Start: Began October 3rd at 8 degrees Scorpio. 15 - Venus-Sun Cazimi: October 24th at 0 degrees Scorpio; described as the "darkest point" and a seed point for new awareness. 1617 - Venus Stations Direct: November 14th at 22 degrees Libra. 15 - Shadow Period Ends: December 15th, marking the completion of the integration process. 15 House-Based Intentions - 1st House: Focus on self-identity, physical body, and authentic self. 18 - 2nd House: Focus on self-worth, self-preservation, and resources. 18 - 3rd House: Focus on language patterns, perceptions in relationships, siblings, and communication. 1819 - 4th House: Focus on home, ancestry, family roots, emotional security, and belonging. 19 - 5th House: Focus on self-expression, heart's desire, recognition, leadership, children, or creativity. 19 - 6th House: Focus on daily routines, service, work, discernment, and how one grieves. 19 - 7th House: Focus on partnerships, contractual relationships, marriages, and equal-eye relationships. 20 - 8th House: Focus on intimacy, old stories of loss/betrayal, and moving from disempowerment to empowerment. 21 - 9th House: Focus on inner beliefs, truths, philosophies, cosmologies, and meaning-making. 22 - 10th House: Focus on career, public image, responsibilities, achievements, and legacy. 22 - 11th House: Focus on groups, associations, community, collective vision, and individuation from the crowd. 2223 - 12th House: Focus on spirituality, solitude, overwhelming feelings, unity, surrendering, and endings. 23
