Venus Retrograde – May 15 – June 27, ’12

Venus is the planet of love, money, creativity, relationships, values (what we value and how we value ourselves), aesthetics, your personal style, and what makes life worth living.

On May 15th, Venus will go retrograde (appearing to move backwards through the heavens) and you can expect it to put a new spin on your love life (watch old loves and lovers reappear!). You will definitely want to watch your spending habits, as Venus Retrograde is not the time to buy luxury items or make new investments.

During a retrograde you are asked to do the “re” activities – review, revise, revisit, remodel, regroup, redo, and stick with things already in process.

The main areas of attention with Venus are love, relationships and money, although revamping your personal style can create some issues if you make significant changes or investments and then change your mind when Venus goes direct!

No matter how passionate you feel in the moment during Venus retrograde, if you make a choice that is out of character for you it may only be temporary.

Venus is in the sign of Gemini for most of this retrograde which is a friendly, changeable, flirtatious energy that is also very fluid and loves to communicate. This is the sign of multi-tasking, so you may find your interests and desires scattered all over the place!

What is your heart’s desire? It will serve you to focus on beginning what you want to create now. Enter into Venus Retrograde with a clear intention – and if you need help with that, see my Creation Coaching program.

I’d love to help you move forward with clarity, focus and a plan.
