Aries
Now is the time for getting serious about boosting relationships with coworkers and people who support your ambition. This retrograde is staged in your tenth house, which rules over careers and professions. You may feel a lack of sincerity or sincerity this week; consider why you value these people in the first place, and remember that Venus retrograde can stunt expressions of affection in those around you. See how their actions and plans factor into your ambition, and make judgements from there.
Taurus
Venus is bringing its energy into your house of purpose this week. Reassess what you are curious about; now is a great time to make plans about the future of your education and consider what you are really interested in.
Gemini
With a retrograde in your eighth house, you may experience a conflict in who you are sharing resources with, whether those resources are material possessions or emotional energy. You should take time to consider if they are worth the effort or if there is a better place for that energy to go, and see if those assessments stick after the retrograde.
Cancer
Venus is retrograding in your seventh house, which rules relationships and partnerships. As tempting as it might be, this is a terrible week for you to begin or end relationships. You may receive new information about how your partnerships work and interact with your values. As Venus comes in, continue to assess who and what is most important to you, and be open to changes of the heart both this week and next.
Leo
You may find in the next week that your routines and schedules are called into question, and issues that have come up before will come to a head. Is your schedule pushing you towards your goals or holding you back? What aspects of your routine are important to you?
Virgo
With a retrograde in your fifth house, pay some attention to a creative project or new romance in your life. Is it fulfilling? Does it fit into long-term plans you have for yourself? A retrograde in your house of creativity and leisure can make new things seem better or worse than they actually are, and you may find that next week, you will regret impulsive decisions you made.
Libra
Venus’s retrograde in your fourth house will ask you to consider what aspects in your life you use to root for yourself — are they reliable? You may experience feelings of insecurity or discomfort in the next week. reassess what makes you comfortable while you have a heightened sense of your needs.
Scorpio
Venus retrograde asks us to reassess, and in your order-oriented third house, you will find it easier to make plans to structure collaborative efforts, and to promote genuine connections; you may be sensitive in this time to people overstepping or giving what appear to be platitudes. Keep these things in mind, but avoid taking major action on them, as Venus retrograde can skew our perception of affection and protocol.
Sagittarius
This retrograde is affecting your second house, which rules over material value. Consider or create a budget or a financial plan. What possessions or skills do you actually value? What do you want to put your effort into? Avoid making major financial decisions until next week, but allow this retrograde to change your perspective.
Capricorn
Venus’s retrograde hits you especially hard as it takes place under Capricorn. It’s time to reflect on your relationship with yourself. How are you manifesting a long-term investment in self-improvement? You are more in touch with your deeper needs and wants right now, so this is a good time to judge what you are doing to meet them.
Aquarius
This retrograde is happening in your more spiritual twelfth house, so you may experience some crisis of faith or intuition during this retrograde cycle. It is important to focus on the judgements you have made in the past too, not just your suspicion in the present.
Pisces
This retrograde is shaking up your eleventh` house, concerning support and the fruits of your labors. Take stock of your support system and the groups of which you consider yourself a part. You may experience turbulence in these networks this week; pay attention to what values you feel are in conflict. It is hard to trust during a Venus retrograde, so do your best to remember that.
