Using Venus Retrograde to Heal from Lateral Violence
Venus retrograde is a time when the planet looks like it's trekking backwards from our vantage point here on Earth. It isn't, but just like everything else, perspective matters. A Venus retrograde is also more rare than both solar and lunar eclipses, happening only once every 18 months or so. This event is known to be a good time to focus on the love and challenges we have in our relationships.
Lateral violence is unhealthy and aggressive behavior by a person or group from a oppressed community directed at members of their own community rather than at the people or society who oppressed them. The roots of lateral violence lie in colonization, trauma and social abuses like racism and gender-isms. Lateral violence can occur in a variety of communities and are not only limited to cultural and social groups but even professional groups like nurses.
Join us on Sunday, July 23rd as we take advantage of this unique celestial time to heal from pain associated with lateral violence.
