In short
Once every eighteen months Venus reverses for six weeks and everything about love and money goes up for review. Old partners resurface, old agreements come back, and it becomes obvious what you overpay for and who you keep around out of habit. This is not about loss, it is a rare chance to recount what you actually value.
Venus reverses and spends several weeks moving backwards. It is the planet of what you love and what you treasure, so those are exactly the two areas going up for review: relationships and money. Not a catastrophe, an audit.
This happens only once every eighteen months, and that is the whole point. While Venus ran forward you accumulated habits: who you tolerate, what you pay for, what you count as normal. All of it surfaces now so you can look at it with fresh eyes.
