Episode Notes

What does it mean to understand Venus as the Intimate Benefic?

What might Venus in Aries teach us about confronting and advocating for our desires? 

Our guest today, Suprasensory Shahir, is one of my favorite emissaries of Venus. Naturally, Shahir offers deep insights and generous, expansive perspectives on the current Venus Retrograde in Aries and Pisces we're experiencing.

We discussed Shahir's perspectives on the planetary retrograde phenomenon, cultivating Venusian qualities in one's self and one's communities when Venusian influences feel scarce in the collective field, and reckoning with our interior parts.

Suprasensory Shahir is a love devotee mystic. A queer Muslim astrologer-diviner currently based in their motherland in Southeast Asia.

They write on their substack 'love as origin, love as destination, love as intermediacy' and have appeared on multiple astrology and spiritual podcasts with their beloved communities.

For this episode, Shahir has an aries venus retrograde in the 5th House of Fortune - the planetary joy of Venus.
