Venus Retrograde in Gemini 2020 and Summer 2020
This is it, this is the retrograde astrologers have been warning us about!! Hold on to your hats and let the toxic relationships and stale ways of relating go!
Venus only retrogrades every 18 months so a Venus retrograde is always kind of a big deal. But several factors make this particular retrograde even more significant (of course, because 2020 is intense):
• Venus conjuncts Juno which has been in retrograde since February 8th.
• Retrograding in Gemini places Venus “out of bounds”.
• Mercury is going to join in on the fun and begin its retrograde period from June 18th to July 12th; but if we take into account the two shadow periods, Mercury Rx will be 10 weeks long, and essentially coincide with the Venus/Juno Retrogrades, June 4th - August 2nd altogether.
• Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius - June 5th 2020
• Solar Eclipse in Cancer - June 21st 2020
• The second conjunction of Jupiter and Pluto, June 30th 2020 – (marking the first two months, three and a half weeks of extreme transformation)
• Aries Rising, Taurus Rising, Gemini Rising, Libra Rising, Scorpio Rising or Sagittarius Rising
• Venus in Taurus, Gemini or Libra
...this is going to affect you BIG TIME.
A special note to Gemini:
Venus only retrogrades in Gemini every 8 years; so, for those with Gemini placements, it's more significant. In addition, the Nodes will move into Gemini (North or True Node) and Sagittarius (South or Mean Node) in May 2020, so, all Gemini and Sagittarius placements will be heavily affected by this nodal transit for about the next year and a half. Where is Gemini in your natal chart? What house? Expect big spiritual changes there over the next year and a half.
Other than THAT, this Venus Retrograde will most affect Taurus, Libra, and to a lesser degree Scorpio, Aries, and Sagittarius.
Leo and Aquarius placements are already being heavily affected by the Saturn in Aquarius transit, which is currently happening.
Venus rules Taurus and Libra, and is known as the planet of love and beauty, but is more so the planet of partnerships (marriage or business or any kind of partnership) contracts, law, equitable balance, manners, charm, and social graces. (Romance actually belongs more to the Sun and Leo.)
Although Venus is going to begin her retrograde from May 13th until June 25th, the pre-shadow period of Venus Retrograde begins from April 9th to May 11th; with the post-shadow period beginning from July 2nd to July 29th.
With shadow periods included, the Venus retrograde in Gemini can really be considered to be April 9th to July 29th, giving us altogether three months and three weeks to work with these relationship, harmony and balancing energies.
What we are NOT going to do when Venus is in retrograde this spring and summer:
♡ We are NOT going to start any new relationships or even DATE anyone new!
♡ We are not going to take back our exes! Not immediately, anyway; trust your intuition. There could be some exes that you genuinely want to work things out with, who could come back into the picture at this time. Proceed with CAUTION and SLOWLY until Venus is fully out of her shadow! (The exes really do come out of the woodwork during a Venus retrograde. You've been warned.)
♡ WE DO NOT PLAN ANY WEDDINGS DURING VENUS RETROGRADE! Venus and Juno are going to cause so much havoc, so whatever plans or dates have been made need to be rescheduled. I'm serious. (Wait until September, when Juno is well out of her retrograde.)
What we DO during Venus Retrograde:
♡ We remember that a retrograde is happening to help us PAUSE, REFLECT, REASSESS AND REVIEW.
♡ We prepare for arguments to arise! This is worse than the last Mercury Retrograde when all of that energy was in Aries. Venus is “out of bounds” so expect for communication to be chaotic and emotional.
♡ We prepare for all relationships (regardless of your marital status), partnerships, contracts, and commitments to be under serious review. Whatever has to be ended around this time, will, and there is no stopping the inevitable. It will hurt, but consider it a blessing in disguise.
♡ We understand that reconciliations could happen during this time. But we make sure that this is something that has been divinely orchestrated. What is meant for you, won’t pass you by, so be patient.
