Perimenopause, Resentment & Reclaiming My Softness: How I’m Choosing a New Way Forward (and How You Can Too)

It’s been six months since I realized I was entering a new season— Not just hormonally, but spiritually.
Perimenopause didn't tap gently on my shoulder. She crept in like an old pattern. Mood shifts. Emotional overwhelm. Resentment that clung to small, ordinary moments.
And the scary part? I started seeing glimpses of my mother in me. The frustration. The internal shutdown. The way her body held more rage than joy.
I love her. But I also know—I don’t want to self-destruct everything I’ve built. I don’t want to repeat patterns that made me feel unsafe as a child.
So I’m choosing something different. ✨ I’m eliminating chaos. ✨ I’m simplifying. ✨ I’m grieving and letting go—of relationships, projects, obligations I once thought I needed.
And in the quiet that follows… I’m learning that emotional support isn’t optional. It’s non-negotiable.
Especially in my marriage. This new version of me needs more tenderness. More space to be held without fixing. More softness in how we speak, touch, and support each other.
That’s where astrology became more than a modality. It became a mirror—reflecting my feminine needs back to me when I was too emotionally tangled to see clearly.
✨ Your natal Venus sign holds the codes to your feminine evolution— Not just how you love, but how you soften. How you receive. How you attract safety, beauty, pleasure, and emotional connection.
And unlike hormone charts that speak to symptoms, ✨ Venus speaks to your soul’s sacred blueprint for healing through connection.
For me, understanding my Venus placement helped me:
Recognize what I really need to feel loved
Rebuild trust in my partnership without shame
Reclaim my sensuality without pressure
Invite pleasure back into my daily rituals
And the transits? They tell the now story— What parts of your energy are being activated, tested, or redefined. When it’s time to go inward. When it’s time to rise again.
Because your body isn’t betraying you. Your energy is asking for deeper alignment.
✨ If this speaks to you, I invite you to book a Soul Purpose Reading We’ll explore your Venus sign, the transits influencing you now, and what this season is asking you to release, soften into, and reclaim.
You’re not too emotional. You’re evolving. And you don’t have to do it alone. 💫
