Venus is the planet of love, beauty, pleasure, and personal values. When Venus is in retrograde, it means the planet appears to move backward in the sky. This doesn’t only affect our relationships, but also our perception of what we truly value and appreciate.
Keep in mind that this isn’t a time to fear, but rather an opportunity for growth and improvement in our relationships and interactions. It’s the perfect moment to pause, reflect, and make necessary adjustments to align with your true desires and values.
Take a deep breath, embrace change, and prepare to welcome the new positive energy that will emerge once Venus resumes its direct course—if, of course, you’ve done the necessary inner work during its retrograde... 😉

Hi, I loved the article. I wanted to ask if someone could tell me what this would mean for me and my bf and me? He's cancer sun, taurus moon, capricorn rising, venus in gemini. I'm virgo sun, taurus moon, libra rising and my venus is in Cancer. I really don't want this to impact our relationship negatively and I'm desperate for tips to avoid negative changes for us during this period. I appreciate all help.
