In this episode, Kira is joined by the astrologer Skye Barclay to discuss Venus retrograde and the current Venus retrograde in Scorpio and Libra. They discuss what makes this retrograde so important along with general Venus retrograde themes. Skye wrote an entire book dedicated to this retrograde called A Dance of Daggers and Delights, which we reference throughout the episode.

As a note: this episode was originally intended to be a bonus episode, but my ongoing Wi-Fi struggles meant that I couldn't record any additional episodes so this is going up as a regularly scheduled Tuesday post! This also means that Threads of Fate will likely be on a brief and temporary hiatus until my Wi-Fi comes back online in the back half of October. Thanks for hanging in there with me!
