#112: Mercury and Venus Retrograde: An Invitation to Change How We Think and What We Value

Summary Venus and Mercury are retrograde together, and that means it is time to stop, look inward, and get brutally honest about love, money, communication, and self-worth. If you have been feeling pulled toward old relationships, old patterns, or old versions of yourself, this episode shows you exactly what that pull is trying to reveal. Jaye Anne Beringer and Kayelee Rose break down what this rare overlap means in Scorpio and Libra, why the shadow period matters just as much as the retrograde itself, and how to work with the energy instead of getting steamrolled by it. They connect the astrology to real-life choices, from journaling and mirror work to when to pause before signing contracts, texting an ex, or making any major life decisions. Kayelee shares a grounded, embodied way to move through Venus retrograde with curiosity instead of self-judgment, while Jaye Anne offers the practical astrology map that helps you understand which part of your chart is being activated and why. Together, they turn a confusing transit into a powerful opportunity for reflection, recalibration, and deeper self-trust. They also preview Kayelee’s new Substack series, The Descent: a Tender Reckoning, a free set of posts with somatic practices and journaling prompts designed to support you through the retrograde season. They also share details about the first-ever Resonant Astrology Summit, featuring Jaye Anne, Julie, Seidel Schultz, Haban Delelata, and Elise Houston, with embodied teachings on asteroid goddesses like Ceres, Juno, Vesta, Pallas, Venus, and more. This episode is perfect for anyone who wants to navigate retrograde season with more clarity, more compassion, and a lot less chaos.
