Venus, Self-Worth, and the Flow of Abundance

When Venus Meets Saturn: The Hard Conversations About Worth

24th April 2025: I’ve been living with the conversation between Venus and Saturn in real time. It’s not just an abstract concept, or something I read in a chart, this one is personal. There’s a conjunction above us in the sky right now between these two Gods, and it’s the third in a series. Venus and Saturn don’t rush things, they ask us to revisit, to reflect, to reckon.

And lately, money has been the reckoning.

I’ve been feeling the pressure building for months, but this weekend, it hit a breaking point. Two big birthdays for my kids this pay check, months, nay years of bigger bills and unexpected expenses. But none of this is new. Money has been a limiting factor in my life, and my relationship with it has been difficult, for as long as I can remember. I'm not known for being good with money. In fact, I'm known as the opposite. By Sunday, I was down to nothing. Every card maxed out. Every account hitting the overdraft limit. And that deep, familiar feeling of helplessness creeping in.

I couldn’t bring myself to ask my parents to help again, though I know they would. It’s not pride. It’s shame. And that old programming whispering, you should be able to manage this on your own.

It all felt impossible.

Until, out of nowhere, The Universe stepped in. On Monday, three astrology readings: booked, paid, and dropped straight into my account. Just enough to get me through. Just enough to keep going.

Relief. And awe. That even when it all feels impossible. That this will be the moment it breaks. It all falls apart. Miracles happen.

And though I know this happens. It's happened before. Staying in that place of trust and flow is hard. Especially when it all gets so close to catastrophe.

Because as much as I’ve worked with the energy of money, years of self-inquiry, shadow work, trust practices, surrender, I still wobble. I still get scared. It still feels fragile, like the whole thing could collapse if I stop trying so hard to hold it all together.

But this is what Venus is teaching me now. Through Saturn. Through structure and scarcity and what’s real.

That this isn’t just about money. It’s about worth. And the stories we carry. It’s about growing up in a household where money was always tight. Where we learned that needing help was a weakness. Where “we can’t afford it” was on repeat like a family motto.

This is where Venus and Saturn are meeting in my chart. Not in the stars, but in my bones.

Venus says, You are worthy.

Saturn says, Prove it, by changing the structure of your beliefs.

Venus says, Receive with grace.

Saturn asks, Can you hold it, consistently, without fear it will vanish?

So I’m sitting with this question: How do I rewire what I believe about money and worth?

How do I transform my experience into one where money flows and I am secure and safe?

How do I balance what I receive, and what I spend, without launching erratically from some, to none? And from gratitude to anxiety.

And I’m turning to the skies for support. Because astrology isn’t just a mirror, it’s a map. A way home. And Venus, in all her wisdom, is helping me trace a new path.

Not through pushing harder or budgeting better, but through healing.

Through saying: I am worthy of support. Of ease. Of beauty and flow. Even if I’ve never known it before.

Even if my parents didn’t model it.

Even if my bank balance doesn’t yet reflect it.

Even if part of me still doesn’t fully believe it.

I’m willing to learn.

And if you are too, maybe this is our invitation, to remember that Venus doesn’t want us to suffer. She wants us to thrive. She wants us to feel secure. To flow. To know that we are valuable. Not because of what we earn or produce, but because we exist.

💎 Venus and the Energy of Abundance

We often think of Venus as the Goddess of romance, beauty, and art, and she is.

But she is also the keeper of magnetism, pleasure, value, and abundance.

Venus teaches us how to receive what we desire, not through striving or proving, but through remembering that we are already worthy.

She is linked to money not because she governs hard work, but because she rules what we value, and that includes how we value ourselves. Venus rules Taurus, the sign most connected to physical comfort, possessions, and survival made beautiful.

🌀 Why We Block the Flow

When Venus is compromised in our chart, or wounded by life, we often find ourselves:

• Overgiving or overworking to feel worthy

• Undervaluing our time or skills

• Avoiding pleasure, softness, or support

• Living in fear of not having enough (for those familiar with the tarot this is Four of Pentacles energy)

We brace. We tighten. We try to control.

And in doing so, we block the very flow we long for.

Because the truth is: money is energy. So is love.

Both respond not to effort, but to alignment.

When we live in fear, we repel. When we remember our worth, we receive.

🌸 The Venusian Way

Here’s what I’ve learned: Venus doesn’t strive to prove her value. 

She doesn’t burn herself out trying to earn what should be given freely.

She doesn’t live on a tight budget out of fear. She delights in quality, comfort, and beauty, not as indulgence, but as truth.

But many of us have forgotten we’re allowed to live like that.

We’ve been told that wanting more is selfish. That desire is dangerous. That ease must be justified.

So we stay small, thinking we’re being sensible, when really, we’re cutting ourselves off from the flow.

Venus wants more for us. Not in a grasping way, but in a soulful way.

She wants us to receive, not because we’ve earned it, but because it’s already ours.

When we return to the truth:

I am valuable.

I am worthy.

I am enough

Something shifts. The fear softens. And the flow begins again.

Money starts showing up differently. So does love. So does life.

It’s not magic. It’s resonance.

You don’t draw in what you want.

You draw in what you believe you are.

🌿 Your Birth Chart as a Map to Receiving

We’re all born with a kind of energetic fingerprint, a cosmic map that reveals what we value, how we receive, and what stories we’ve inherited around love and money.

Venus sits at the centre of this.

She whispers about beauty and desire, not just romantically, but in every part of life.

And sometimes, she’s tangled in old stories:

“You’re not allowed to have more.”

“You have to earn love.”

“You can’t have both love and money.”

These stories live in our bones, but they aren’t the truth.

The chart doesn’t limit you, it reveals you.

It shows the energy you were born into, not as punishment, but as invitation. Even the hard parts can be alchemised.

🌸 Venus Wants You to Receive

You don’t need to understand all the technicalities of astrology to feel your Venus. But if you’re curious, your chart can gently show you:

• Where your Venus lives: what part of life she lights up

• How she’s feeling: strong and supported, or strained and hidden

• What stories have shaped your ability to receive

• Where your self-worth may need remembering

There are places in your chart that long for ease, beauty, and flow.

Venus is already there, waiting for you to listen.

🌀 You Live in a Universe That Wants to Support You

Somewhere along the way, we learned to live in fear.

We were told money is scarce, that love must be earned, that ease is indulgent.

But that’s not the truth.

That’s just the programming.

Scripture says: Seek first the Kingdom, and all these things shall be added unto you.

The new age space echoes: Money flows to where it is welcomed. Love flows to where it is safe.

You don’t need to chase abundance.

You need to unblock what’s already yours.

Your job isn’t to strive endlessly or fix yourself.

It’s to get curious about what’s in the way, and gently let it go.

🌸 Practices to Open the Way for Abundance

These aren’t tasks to tick off a list. They’re invitations to come back to yourself.

🕯 1. Tend to Beauty, Even in Small Ways

Venus speaks through the senses.

She loves beauty, not as luxury, but as sacredness made visible.

• Make a corner of your home lovely, just for you.

• Light a candle while paying your bills.

• Sweep the floor as an act of devotion, not drudgery.

• Wear something soft that makes you feel yourself again.

This isn't about aesthetics. It's about remembering pleasure is allowed.

✍️ 2. Write a Letter to Money

Start with:

“Dear Money, I’m sorry I…”“I forgive you for…”“I’m ready to…”

Let it all pour out, the anger, the fear, the longing. Then write back, as Money itself. Let it speak to you.

This clears the channel. It reminds you that money is not your enemy. It’s energy. A conversation. A mirror.

🧘‍♀️ 3. Practice Receiving, One Moment at a Time

If you’re used to doing everything alone, this can feel foreign. But Venus isn’t interested in martyrdom. She wants you to let it in.

• Pause when someone compliments you.

• Accept help without apology.

• Say yes when ease is offered—even if your instinct is to say no.

Every time you let yourself receive without guilt, you open the channel wider.

🌿 4. Walk With Venus

Pick one Venus hour a week (or just a quiet moment on a Friday) and do something only for the joy of it.

Not to be productive. Not to tick a box.

But to remind your nervous system what safety and sweetness feel like.

Some ideas:

• Walk somewhere beautiful and do nothing but notice

• Eat slowly and really taste it

• Listen to music that makes your heart ache (in the good way)

• Anoint your body with oil, like you would a beloved

💫 5. Rewrite the Spell

Much of what blocks abundance lives in our language.

We speak fear into form without realising.

Start noticing how you talk about money:

“I can’t afford that.”

“That’s too expensive.”

“I’ll never get ahead.”

These are spells. Begin gently rewriting them:

“That’s not aligned right now, but I trust it will come.”

“Money flows in when I follow what feels true.”

“I honour my resources and allow more in.”

You don’t have to fake positivity. Just soften the edges. Speak to possibility.

🦋 6. Remember Who You Were Before the World Told You 'No'

This is the deepest work of all.

Sit with the version of you who knew you were worthy. Before school. Before bills. Before heartbreak. Before shame. That younger self still lives in you, holding the key.

Ask her:

What did I want? What did I know? What did I trust, back then?

She hasn’t gone anywhere. She's just been waiting for you to remember.

You Are Not Asking for Too Much

You are not greedy. Or selfish. Or naïve.

Wanting love and money, ease and beauty, joy and security, it isn’t too much. It’s what your soul came here to experience. And Venus is here to help you remember how.

You don’t have to chase. Just stop resisting.

You don’t have to earn. Just return.

The flow is waiting.

🌸 You Are Worthy of More Than Just Enough

Venus doesn’t ask you to strive.

She doesn’t test your worth.

She simply invites you to remember.

Your beauty.

Your value.

Your innate belonging in a world that was made to support you.

Love and money are not in conflict.

They are both currents of the same river, flowing toward you when you trust that you are ready to receive.

You don’t have to do more.

You only have to soften.

And let it in.
