THE VENUS Rx GATES ARE OPENING.
There are seasons when we're called to expand, build, birth, become more visible and reach toward what is next. And there are seasons when the invitation is the opposite: Descend.Â
Venus Retrograde (Rx) is a rare cosmic invitation to turn inward and reexamine what we truly love, desire + value.
As Venus journeys backward through Scorpio + Libra, she takes us into the Underworld of sex, money, intimacy, power + worthârevealing what still holds our LIFE-FORCE and what is truly worthy of it now.
Go beneath the striving. Beneath the performance. Beneath the identities you have learned to wear in order to be loved, chosen, desired, successful and safe. Beneath all the ways you have learned to earn what should never have required your self-abandonment in the first place.
I am already DEEP in this initiation myself...around money, worth, desire, receiving, provision, visibility, enoughness, my body, my work and what I am actually willing to give my finite life-force to.
I was born with Venus retrograde in Scorpio which make this extra potent. Venus in the underworld is part of my natal blueprint. The descent into the hidden chambers of love, intimacy, power, money, sexuality, worth, death, rebirth and reclamation isn't foreign territory to me.
It is home terrain.Â
I know what it is to love from the depths. To lose. To shed skins. To meet the parts of ourselves that polite spirituality would rather transcend. To find eros underneath grief, desire underneath shame and life underneath what had to die.
And I have a feeling I am not meant to make this descent alone. So I am opening a holy vessel. Join us to:
Reawaken your erotic aliveness & deepen trust in your bodyâs knowing
so that you can feel turned on by your body, your creativity, your desires + your LIFE again.
Become wildly intimate with what you WANT
so that you can stop organizing your life around being wanted and start choosing what actually turns YOU on.
Unbind your worth from money, beauty, productivity + being chosen
so that you can desire, receive + create without making any of it proof that you're enough.
RECLAIM YOUR TOO MUCH
so that you can come home more yours than everâunapologetic in your desire, embodied in your power + unwilling to abandon yourself to belong.
Anchor in your sacred NO + unapologetic HOLY HELL YES
so that you can stop leaking your precious energy into what you've outgrown and give it to what deserves your devotion.
Get your f*cking LIFE-FORCE back
so that you can pour it into the people, pleasures, creations + desires that make you hungry to be alive.Â
VENUS UNBOUND isn't a challenge, content to consume, or another healing experience to "get right". This is a deep journey of RECLAMATION & INITIATION.
This is becoming something much deeper than I originally imagined.Â
This is a fierce field and sacred containment for the descentâa place sturdy enough to hold the truths we haven't wanted to admit, the desires we've edited, the grief we've outrun, the money wounds beneath the numbers, and the parts of ourselves we exiled for being too hungry, sexual, powerful, queer, needy or simply too much.
We're going underground to meet the Venus beneath the Venus we've been taught to performâand retrieve what we've left there: desire, worth, pleasure, voice, power, discernment, creativity, erotic life-force + the capacity to receive.Â
To return with more of ourselves.
And I want us to do this differently: no overriding exhausted bodies in the name of liberation, no flooding ourselves with information and calling it transformation, no racing toward resurrection.
Enough structure to feel held.  Enough spaciousness for your own Underworld to speak.
I'm not handing you a map from safely above ground. I'm carrying a lantern and descending too.
If something in your love, money, body, sexuality, creativity, worth or desire is whispering that the old way cannot come with you, come with me...
Liberation isn't simply getting free from what bound you.
It's getting your LIFE-FORCE back so you can give it to what you LOVE.
SOVEREIGN. TURNED ON. ALIGNED. RECLAIMED. This is your S.T.A.R. Power. And this time, you're bringing it home.
Â
There are three pathways into the Underworldâchoose the depth of descent, support + intimacy that feels most alive for you.

You brought the freaking house down. Thank you! Your message struck a chord in the room and was so playful, real, and full of magic making. It was permission granting for women to be who they are.

THE MAP OF THE UNDERWORLD
We are not spending 40 days circling the same question. We are going somewhere. This journey has an architecture.
A descent. An encounter with shadow. A death. A retrieval. A return. A re-choosing. A devotion.
We begin at the surface with the life we've constructed and the things we believe we want. Then we descend beneath them. Into attachment. Shame. Money. Worth. Power. Sex. Control. Old lovers. Old contracts. Beauty. Being chosen.
 We go looking for what became bound there. And then we return with it. To decide what deserves it.
GATE I â THE MIRROR
GATE II â THE BINDING
GATE III â THE SHADOW OF VENUS
GATE IV â THE RETRIEVAL
GATE V â THE HEART OF THE UNDERWORLD
GATE VI â THE VALUE VAULT
GATE VII â THE GREAT RE-CHOOSING
GATE VIII - THE RETURN
Through eight gates, we'll descend beneath what you've been taught to want, encounter what has bound your life-force, retrieve what you've buried, meet Venus at the heart of the Underworldâand return with a radically different relationship to desire, worth, money, pleasure, power, love + your own erotic aliveness.
When you choose the Guided Journey or One one One Support Descent you'll receive these three Ceremonial Journey's to anchor the beginning, middle and end...

Welcome, Beloved! I'm Lainie Love...
Welcome, Beloved! I'm Lainie Love...
...a fiery transformational speaker, bestselling author, oracular astrologer, interfaith minister, oracle creator + ecstatic embodied leadership mentor on a mission to LIBERATE women & queers from the cages of shame, conditioning, self-abandonment + systems of domination taught us to exile: our bodies, our desire, our pleasure, our voice, our power, our erotic intelligence, our creativity + our LIFE-FORCE.
Especially those of us who've spent a lifetime being told we're too much, not enough, too loud, too fat, too sexual, too queer, too ambitious, too emotional, too powerful.
Through Sparkle SHAMELESSLYÂź, I'm catalyzing a movement of women & queers stepping into their full S.T.A.R. Power:Â Â SOVEREIGN. TURNED ON. ALIGNED. RECLAIMED. People who trust the wisdom of their bodies, know what they desire, refuse to abandon themselves to belong + are willing to give their precious lives to what they truly LOVE.
Because I believe our liberation is intimately connected to the liberation of our bodies, the sacred feminine + all LIFE.
I want us FREE. Wild. Embodied. Desirous. Creative. Powerful. Unapologetic. Fully f*cking ALIVE.
And using that liberated LIFE-FORCE to create the relationships, art, movements, Sacred Opus + world we came here for.
That's the (r)evolution. Come Sparkle SHAMELESSLYŸ with us.
