Venus has moved into Scorpio, bringing questions of value, desire, money and self-worth closer to the surface. And with Venus about to turn retrograde, this is a good time to get honest about the things you've been tolerating in your career or business that no longer feel aligned.

Maybe it's:

🦂Undercharging because asking for more feels uncomfortable.

🦂A role where you're constantly proving your value.

🦂Clients who expect too much

🦂Imbalanced relationships

🦂A version of success that looks good on paper but doesn't actually feel good

Scorpio isn't interested in surface-level, it wants to go deep. It asks: What do I actually value? Am I making decisions that reflect that?

Venus is going retrograde on 3rd October. To get the most out of the retrograde period, try this:

Write down 3 things you're currently tolerating professionally that you wouldn't choose if you were starting again today. Then, choose one to change. Sit with the question for a bit. Go deep with your contemplation. You might realise there's one thing you already know you need to do. If not, that's ok too. Here are some examples you might want to use.

It could be:

→ Raise a boundary

→ Have the conversation

→ Review your pricing

→ Stop over-delivering

→ Decline something that isn't right

→ Protect time for the work that actually matters

Then make yourself a promise. Write down the following and fill in your own blanks:

"I won't keep sacrificing _______ to prove that I'm worth of _______."

Remember, your career or business should reflect your values, not require you to abandon them.
