Venus retrograde information
Venus, the planet of love, turns retrograde on July 27th and will stay that way until September 8th. What does that mean for your love life this summer? It means it won't be an easy time, but will hopefully set you on a path for true love and happiness down the road.
To put it simply, "retrograde" means a planet is moving backward. In astrological terms, it means that whatever is ruled by what planet (i.e. Mercury and communication), will be off kilter for that period of time. When Venus goes retrograde, it's could be a bad time for starting new relationships, but it's a great time for examining old ones and figure out where they went wrong %u2026 and what you can do better next time.
Venus retrograde can tempt you to rekindle an old flame, or make you more critical of a current relationship. You might find yourself suddenly annoyed by something your boyfriend or girlfriend has always done. You might wonder why you're even in the relationship to begin with. To make matters worse, you have a hard time expressing your feelings, so there might be more fights and awkward moments.
The whole idea of unconditional love is a big one during Venus retrograde, too. If you're wondering why you have a hard time loving others unconditionally, the answer is easy -- it's because you're not loving yourself unconditionally. The most important lesson you need to learn during this retrograde period is that you aren't perfect, your boyfriend or girlfriend isn't perfect and your relationship isn't perfect -- and that doesn't mean that you're any less worthy or capable of real love. In fact, it's only when you accept the flaws that you'll actually be able to achieve it.
