      The creator introduces the upcoming Venus retrograde, noting that Venus is currently at 22 degrees Libra and will turn retrograde on October 3rd in Scorpio. The text explains how this transit shifts focus from Libra's themes of harmony and fairness to Scorpio's intense questions about desire, attachment, and emotional vulnerability. It clarifies that while relationship stories are common during this period, the retrograde is fundamentally about re-evaluating the worth and nature of love rather than just exes returning. ]]
