You’re not being punished by the sky, you’re noticing boundaries, needs, and old patterns you kept sweeping under the rug.

I like that, because my lab brain used to want a mechanism, and now I just call it a mirror. Venus retrograde feels less like celestial matchmaking and more like the nervous system finally asking what you kept calling “normal.” I don’t think the planet is doing romance magic so much as the timing is catching our attention. That’s the part that lands for me.
