OK,
so let's start off with some background. Venus is a planet that is
extremely important astrologically, although many of us don't really pay
much attention to it unless it's Valentine's Day. Here are some of the
things Venus rules:
- Love and attraction
- Beauty in form
- Refinement of artistic tastes
- Our romantic, poetic, and artistic selves
Taurus and Libra folks, this is your ruling planet, the lovely and charming Venus. Some of you may also know her as the Greek goddess Aphrodite.
Most
people think about love and attraction only when it comes to romance.
I'm here to tell you that Venus also has a financial role. Why? Because
if we are in business for ourselves, for example--like yours truly--our
ability to make money and succeed depends on our ability to attract and
retain clients. So Venus has an often overlooked role in our financial
success. Also, if you're looking for work, Venus is an important planet
for you to attract the attention of the right employer. Problems with
Venus in your birth chart and indicate both love and money difficulties.
So
I hope I've been able to convince you that this lady is nothing to be
trifled with. Venus goes into retrograde once every eighteen months, and
before you open your mouth to complain, it's the LEAST amount of
retrograde time of any of the planets in the solar system. You gotta cut
the girl some slack; she's busy and needs a break!
Anyway,
when this planet starts to move "backward" in the sky, the focused is
on unfinished business in our emotional and financial relationships.
Here are some things to know about what you might experience, in both
love and money.
Love and social affairs--Overall, relationships tend to slow down. This is not a good time to:
- Get married
- Go on first dates
- Have big parties
- Change your hairstyle
- Wear flamboyant clothing
- Buy a new wardrobe
- Re-decorate your home or business
Business--You may experience:
- Legal issues
- Problems with diplomacy or negotiations
- Enter into a new partnership or significant business relationship
Relationships
that are already having difficulty may feel additional pressure. Venus
retrograde often forces us to face feelings that we have ignored in the
past, and re-evaluate those friendships and romantic partnerships as
these emotions re-surface.
Since
Venus is retrograde in Gemini, the focus will really be on words and
understanding how people are communicating with you. Words really can
hurt, especially those closest to us, so in this position, be extremely
careful as you talk to your loved ones and make sure that you mean what
you say and say what you mean.
Venus
starts officially in retrograde tomorrow. So you've got a little
time. It goes through the rest of May and almost all the way through
June; it will be over by June 27, but the effects could be felt through
the end of July.
Good luck weathering the storm, folks. Drop me a line if you have any Venus retrograde stories I can share! :)
