Venus Retrogrades In Gemini
Venus - the Goddess of love, beauty, money, pleasure, and joy - is retrograding in Gemini today. Venus has been in Gemini for a while now, creating a emotionally detached, air of curiosity in our relationships and values. Venus isn’t at her strongest point here in Gemini, and although it’s good to let your hair down and not take things so seriously, now retrograding in Gemini will make some topics and themes much harder to avoid.
Any time a planet goes retrograde (appearing like it is going backwards in its orbit) we get to shift our attention inward to revise and realign our hearts and our heads from all of the activities that have taken place in our outer worlds. Because Venus is focused on love, money, and values, the mental activity of processing our current situation and having some deep conversations about these topics and themes get activated under the retrograde energy.
Venus retrograding in gemini may have old friends and exes reappear. This is to help you process and sort out some emotions that got repressed in order for you to close this chapter for good. If you are in a relationship you may find Venus in Gemini’s retrograde will throw you and your partner back into the past to have some hard chats about the relationship and money matters. Sure, we’ve done a great job at avoiding some painful truths, but now with all of this retrograde energy we can hide from these conversations any longer.
With all of the other elements at play, (Saturn, Pluto, already retrograde awaiting Jupiter to join them tomorrow, Mars (Venus’ male counterpart) surrendering to the emotional battle of karmic cleansing in Pisces, and Mercury (the messenger of the Universe working hard to download us with new insights to gan a bigger perspective) these next few months will definitely pull us through the ringer of emotions.
It’s not all bad though. Retrogrades are a chance for us to rebalance the scales of karma. It’s an opportunity to level up spiritual and close doors on old soul contracts and be ready for new ones to begin.
Although Venus retrograding in Gemini should be light, and fun, and fancy free, socializing and even uniting with soul family members may be desirable, but commitment is not recommended. You should definitely pay attention to who enters your life at this time (and who leaves) because it’s likely karmically connected. But hold off on making any new decisions to commit to a new path until the universe better supports it.
A word of caution though: If you are in a relationship and it’s falling apart, let it fall. This is a time where we cut away the bonds that are no longer serving us. And Venus retrograding will have us purging the people that we’ve outgrown to make space for new, more aligned energies to enter.
