How to Truly Honor Venus Day

On Venus day, we celebrate energies of beauty, desire, pleasure and love. But more often than not, it can be easy to get caught up in "performing" these celebrations rather than actively enjoying them. This is your reminder to revel in the activities that bring you great joy. As a full-time practitioner, it is easy to get caught up in a Venus day "to-do" list, which involves client workings, my own personal care, as well as bringing praises to Lady Aphrodite. If there is one thing I am learning from working with Lady Aphrodite, it is to enjoy the pleasures of our life whether big or small. It quite literally defeats the whole purpose of celebrating when we force ourselves to partake in rituals rather than enjoy what we truly desire. The need to perform, whether from guilt or obligation, can have the opposite effect of joy and bliss. This will look quite different form person to person. You are not obligated to perform anything if it does not vitalize your spirit. Instead of forcing yourself to perform, rest your mind with a warm, cozy cup of rose tea, for example. The possibilities are endless as long as you enjoy the pleasures of your life. This is how you can honor Venus day in the most authentic way. Blessed be baddies.
