The Reclamation of the Feminine—Venus Retrograde • Embodied Power • Libra New Moon
As the Libra New Moon arrives amid a powerful Venus retrograde in Scorpio, we're being invited into a deeper conversation about love, beauty, desire, justice, and our relationship with power.
And perhaps most importantly, what it means to reclaim the feminine—not simply as an idea or ideal, but as a living, embodied experience.
In this episode of the Vital Goddess Podcast, we explore the shadow of keeping the peace, the sacred journey of Venus through the underworld, and the ways women have been conditioned to seek love, beauty, and worthiness outside themselves.
Drawing on the ancient myth of Inanna's descent, we explore what it means to release the roles, expectations, and identities we've learned to inhabit—and return to something far more precious: our own embodied truth.
We'll also explore the potent Venus–Mars–Pluto dynamics illuminating themes of desire, autonomy, consent, and power, along with the inspiring Saturn–Neptune invitation to give our dreams a body.
Because reclaiming the feminine isn't simply about women having more power in the world.
It's about transforming our relationship with power itself.
And that transformation begins within.
Through sensual embodiment, we cultivate the capacity to feel, receive, honor our desires, trust our inner knowing, and remain deeply connected to ourselves—even in relationship with others.
We don't have to turn away from the world to come home to ourselves.
Coming home to ourselves changes how we meet the world.
We'll close with a gentle embodied pause, inviting you to soften, breathe, and return to the sacred relationship with your body.
Perhaps the most powerful way to create a more beautiful world is to begin embodying one.
With love,
Dianne 🌹
