Looking for a way to productively channel the energies of today’s Venus-Saturn opposition? Try this “Venus Values Inventory” exercise.
To do so, make three columns on a piece of paper, giving each one of the following three headings: Enhancing Value, Detracting Value, Neutral Value.
In the Enhancing Value column, write down the activities, relationships, and/or prized possessions that truly grace your life, giving it luster and providing you with a sense of inner harmony.
In the Detracting Value column, list the activities, relationships, and/or prized possessions that you may feel attached to but which don’t—at the proverbial “end of the day”—provide you with an authentic sense of enjoyment and fulfillment. These may be ones that take up your time, energy, and emotions without giving much back in return. This isn’t to say that they were never valuable as potentially they were at one point; it just may be that their contribution to your life has run its course given your evolving needs.
In the Neutral Value column, write down the activities, relationships, and/or prized possessions that don’t may not add much to your life but don’t necessarily detract from it either.
Doing this exercise is a great way to take stock of what is fulfilling in your life—what serves as a foundation of your joy—and what really isn’t. The Enhancing Value list can serve as a great measure of where beauty and satisfaction resides in your life. Consequently, the Detracting Value list may provide fodder for identifying areas of life that you may want to pare down in order to help further transform your life into one filled with even more abundance and contentment. Additionally, the Neutral Value list can identify those things that can, with a little work, be either adjusted a bit to generate more fulfillment or released to generate more space for growth.
While this exercise may seem like hard work, it is what the energies of Saturn require of us. From a Saturnian perspective, when we do the work, face reality, and make constructive decisions that align with our true sense of values, we set a course for our life that allows us to more readily manifest more beauty, joy, and love.

This is a great exercise, Stephanie. It helps define our priorities and can even show us where we’re falling a little short if something has lost its luster. Sometimes it’s not them, it’s us, and we can make it better.
Great post! Thanks.
Thank you! I am so glad that you found it helpful. All the best, Stephanie
