256. Unpopular Opinion: Leave Him, A Venus Retrograde Download

In this Dark Moon Download, Britten comes through with a message that arrived on a run, in honor of Venus retrograde in Scorpio: unpopular opinion, leave him.

The "him" isn't necessarily your husband (although, maybe it is). It's the contracts, arrangements and agreements we've worked so hard to make work.

Britten talks about what Venus is revealing right now, the grief of realizing how much of our lives has gone into trying to be good enough, and what she found on the other side of saying no in her own life.

In this episode, Britten explores:

Why she loves planets in detriment and fall, including Venus retrograde in Scorpio

What's being revealed underneath the polite rituals of respectability

Why believing it's our fault can feel easier than seeing what's true

What "him" really means, and why it doesn't have to be a person

The grief of becoming extraordinarily competent at arrangements that disempower us

What it tells us when naming things doesn't lead to change

The 7 of Cups, meeting Venus at the gates, and the underworld journey of this retrograde
