Venus Retrograde in Gemini- Re-connection with What You Value, A Blast from the Past Returns, Do You Speak with Love and Understanding to Yourself?

On May 13th, Venus, the planet of: love, affection, pleasure, money and beauty, turns retrograde at 21 degrees of Gemini. Retrograde planets appear to being going backwards from our perspective on Earth and herald a time of: reflection, revision, and past remembrance. Gemini, the 3rd zodiac sign, is all about: communication, play, learning, malleability and lightness.

Venus retrograde in the sign of Gemini will create many reflections and revisions around how we understand and appreciate love and things of value. During this Venus retrograde phase in the sign of the twins, we will need to be quite vocal about our relationships and how we communicate our values and desires to ourselves and others. Being that Gemini is an air sign and quite flirty and playful, a lot of these reflections and contemplation’s could be rather light and not too deep. Also,considering that Gemini is a mutable sign, which tends to be very malleable and flexible, we could feel rather scattered and “all over the shop” about our feelings and intentions. On Monday we could suddenly want to rekindle a relationship from the past and by that Friday we could have a new fling ignite our interest. Again, as mentioned, all over the shop, lol. Past lovers and business relationships could re-appear all of a sudden. With any retrograde period, especially among the inner planets( Mercury, Venus and Mars) there tends to be past: people, places and things resurface, grasping for our attention. I look at this as a test to see how far we have come and to see if we have learned the karmic lessons of these folks and events.

Venus retrogrades every 19 months, less than any other inner planet. She is therefore felt more intensely. If you look out in the evening sky right now, you can see beautiful Venus. Evening star Venus is feminine in nature and very gentle and loving. Over the next 40 days and 40 nights, she will transition in her retrograde phase over to a morning star. Morning star Venus is masculine in nature and very forthright and aggressive. If you were born with your natal Venus sign following your Sun sign than you are a natal Evening star Venus. If you were born with your natal Venus sign before your Sun sign, then you are a natal Morning star Venus. An example from my own chart is I was born with my Venus at 29 degrees of Aquarius and my Sun sign at 7 degrees of Aquarius. You can see my Venus sign by degree falls AFTER my Sun sign degree, which means I am a natal Evening star Venus. I’ve noticed whether you are a natal Evening star Venus vs. a natal Morning star Venus, the individual taking on more feminine or masculine traits, when expressing their love and affection.

Venus retrograde in Gemini is here to have you reflect and revise how you look at: love, money and what you value in life. There is an opportunity to communicate your authentic truth and learn something about what and who truly matters to you in your life.

Over the next 40 days and 40 nights, the love god in backwards motion, wants you to get clear about what is working in your life and what is holding you back to your true north star. Venus retrograde in the sign of the twins is here to: help you re-evaluate what or who holds value in your life, spark a lesson of growth and awareness about your relationships and teach you the value and commitment of inner self love and acceptance. Venus will turn retrograde at 21 degrees of Gemini on May 13th and then turn direct at 5 degrees of Gemini on June 25th. Wherever Gemini is in your natal chart( along with any planets in Gemini) is where you will be re-evaluating and revising your values and relationships.
