Venus Retrograde

Tuesday, May 15, 7:33 am PDT, 10:33 am EDT

The love planet’s reversal period in jittery Gemini lasts until June 27, turning back the clock on relationships as we revisit old romantic dreams. Reconnecting with people from the past can be a constructive use of this time because it may be more difficult to make new connections. People might be unreliable and easily distracted as promises are ignored and expectations changed without notice. Old sources of pleasure might resurface in fresh forms, reigniting earlier recreational and artistic interests. It’s helpful to avoid pinning ourselves down, because this value-based planet twists tastes in a variety of directions. What and whom we like can shift with the wind, reminding us to avoid making major financial or emotional investments. Yet for those who’ve gone off track in their desires, Venus’ retrograde period is ideal for making course corrections.
