I should’ve seen the burnout coming, but I ignored every sign. Totally fried, I knew I needed downtime — real, full-stop, nervous-system-downshift rest.

With Venus entering Cancer this week, it’s an idyllic time to examine how and why we do this. Venus is the planet of the feminine power: embodiment, beingness, intuition. In Cancer, she turns toward the sacred art of nurturing, caregiving, and mothering. When we haven’t learned how to mother ourselves first, we fall into the familiar pattern of over giving, rescuing, and saying yes when we really mean no.
