Venus in
Retrograde — When the planet of love, pleasure and values appears to
move backward, what we want and how we go about getting it comes under
review. It's time to re-evaluate your relationships and possessions; do
they still enhance your life? Or detract from it?
ARIES
March 21 — April 19
What
is your creativity and self-expression worth to you, Aries? Your desire
or ability to take risks, think outside the box and be entirely
yourself is coming up for review, with Venus moving backward through
your House of Personal Expression for the next few weeks. Have you been
retreating from obstacles to your freedom, or have you been facing them
head-on? Your stars say that certain challenges are being presented to
you, not to keep you from reaching your goal, but to teach you to reach
it in your own way. Aim for what satisfies, not what merely amuses.
TAURUS
April 20 — May 20
You're
a master builder, Taurus, and foundations are your specialty. But with
your ruler, Venus, moving backward through your House of Home and
Security, you're being asked to revise what makes you feel truly "at
home," on the inside, as well as out. Has your view of family values
changed? Are you where you would like to be? It's an ideal time to sort
out what home, family and heritage mean to you, and how you can
cultivate them to make yourself feel more supported, emotionally,
physically and spiritually. Be kind to yourself.
GEMINI
May 21 — June 21
With
whom do you communicate the most, Gemini, and how do you go about
proliferating your ideas? Venus, the planet of pleasure and values, is
moving backward through your House of Communication, inspiring a
reevaluation of this aspect of your life. You may find that your
everyday relationships (siblings, coworkers, family members) would
benefit from an overhaul. You may be pruning your schedule in order to
make more time for the communications that matter most to you. Think
quality over quantity.
CANCER
June 22 — July 22
How
much do you identify with your money and possessions, and how you go
about getting them, Cancer? Do they reflect who you are and what you
love, or are they collecting dust and boring you? With Venus retracing
her steps through your House of Money and Resources, you may begin to
feel dissatisfied with what you have — are you craving more or better
things because you truly want them, or to fulfill some other
unidentified void? Your stars are asking you to honor yourself and your
skills in order to help you earn what you deserve.
LEO
July 23 — Aug. 22
How
do you see and value yourself, Leo? The planet of pleasure and desire
is moving backward through your House of Self, reevaluating your
self-esteem — whether it is where it needs to be, and how you go about
improving it. You may feel like overhauling your looks or personality
for the next few weeks, and you'd benefit from examining whether your
outer self represents the way you want to feel on the inside. It's an
ideal time to give birth to the "new you" by aligning who you want to be
with the way you present yourself. Represent!
VIRGO
Aug. 23 — Sept. 22
Give
yourself a break, Virgo. This is a time of intense reflection for you
as Venus, the planet of pleasure and property, moves through your House
of Secrets and the Past. What you want and how to get it may seem
completely mystifying right now, and you may find yourself vacillating
between several paths. Take heart. Your stars say good things are
happening in the wings, out of your sight, and this retrograde period
will help you see where you have undermined yourself so you can build
back up again. Listen.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 — Oct. 22
Things
are about to get extremely personal, Libra, with your ruler Venus
retracing her steps through your House of Friends and Associations. What
you want in your friends and organizations, as well as what you bring
to the dynamic, comes under review now. Have you let contact lapse
between you and those you care about? Or are there certain ties that you
feel must be cut in order for you to be true to yourself? Where do your
loyalties lie, and whose loyalty is still with you? Your friends are
vital to you — make sure it goes both ways.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 — Nov. 21
How
do you define success, Scorpio? And how does it define you? Venus, the
planet of pleasure and values, is moving backward through your House of
Career and Destiny, raising questions about your reputation, how you see
yourself, and how you want to be seen. Relationships with bosses and
authority figures should be examined now, and what you thought you
wanted may no longer be relevant. Allow yourself to explore these
questions, because the first step to attaining success is defining it
for yourself.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 — Dec. 21
It's
time to focus, Sagittarius. Your wild, searching spirit is getting a
revision from Venus for the next few weeks as she retraces her steps
through your House of Journeys and Philosophy. You may find that your
belief system gets a little overhaul now, and that you drop old ways
that no longer serve you. Your desire to reach new horizons, learn new
things and know yourself may become a journey that is much closer to
home, an internal trip. Your stars say that closing in on what truly
matters to you will bring you more adventure than random quests.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 — Jan. 19
It's
time to reconsider how you value intimacy, Capricorn, and what you need
in order to truly experience it. Venus, the planet of love, pleasure
and desires, is moonwalking through your House of Intimacy and The
Other, indicating a revision of your way of relating deeply to others.
Passion, healing and transformation are all forecast for you in this
sector. You may find that certain attainments or arrangements don't
please you as you thought they would; purge them to make space for
things which truly light your fire.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 — Feb. 18
Whom
do you value as your closest partners, Aquarius, and what is it about
them, and your relationship, that you appreciate? What you want in them —
and whether you still want it — may be up for questioning now, as Venus
moves backward through your House of Partnerships. Some of your
relationships may simply require a little more upkeep and appreciation,
while others may have lapsed altogether. The important thing is that you
take care of those that you value most, and allow them to take care of
you. Anything less is not worth your energy.
PISCES
Feb. 19 — March 20
Do
you appreciate your body and all that it does for you, Pisces? Do you
practice a daily routine that supports and nourishes you? Your body is
your temple, and your habits are the tools with which you build it, and
both of these come up for review as Venus checks her rearview in your
House of Health and Routine. Listen to messages from your body now, as
you'll be much more sensitive to its needs. A re-evaluation of your
habits can lead to major progress — look at your to-do lists as recipes
for accomplishment.
