Prepare for Emotional Turbulence ¶
As Venus, the planet of love and beauty, moves into retrograde, you can expect a mix of emotions to surface. This astrological event is a time for introspection and self-reflection, but it can also be challenging, especially for those who tend to bottle up their feelings.
According to professional astrologer Linda Joyce, Venus retrograde is a significant event that can cause more emotional problems and challenges than almost anything. It's a time when your reality can change drastically, whether it's leaving unhealthy relationships behind, confronting unresolved trauma, or making significant changes in your life.
What to Expect During Venus Retrograde ¶
During this time, you may experience a range of emotions, from anxiety and frustration to introspection and growth. You may also encounter old flames, frenemies, or other people from your past who can stir up emotions and trigger unresolved issues.
However, Venus retrograde is not just about negative emotions. It's also a time for self-reflection, journaling, and self-care. Practicing mindfulness and engaging in activities that bring you joy can help temper down the craziness and make the experience more manageable.
Will Venus Retrograde Cause Breakups? ¶
While Venus retrograde can be a challenging time for relationships, it's not necessarily a cause for breakups. According to Joyce, relationships that are meant to last will not be destroyed by this astrological event. In fact, couples in healthy relationships may come out of Venus retrograde stronger and with a better understanding of each other's wants and needs.
However, things may get worse or chaotic before they get better. It's essential to communicate openly and honestly with your partner and to address any underlying issues that may be contributing to the challenges you're facing.
When's the Next Venus Retrograde? ¶
The next Venus retrograde will occur from May 13, 2020, to June 25, 2020. This event will coincide with the summer solstice and an eclipse, making for a wild and intense six weeks. However, you can use this time to your advantage by engaging in conversations about insecurities and value systems with your partner.
As professional astrologer Brittany Binowski notes, Venus retrograde is a time for major realizations, especially regarding self-worth. By working through your emotions and addressing any underlying issues, you can set yourself up for a major way for the next chapter of your life.
