second chances in love...

T
his month brings a rare Venus
retrograde. You have probably
heard of Mercury retrograde,
but this is quite different. For one
thing, Mercury is all communications,
whereas Venus is all about love. For
another, Mercury retrograde happens
up to four times a year whereas Venus
retrograde only happens once every 18
months. So it’s a much rarer cycle and
definitely worth paying attention to.
Before we go into what it means for
everyone, let’s take a look at it overall.
Venus is the planet of abundance andlove. When you think of Venus, you
think of Venus Aphrodite, the great
and beautiful goddess. Venus is
charming and graceful, and also loves
to be pampered as much as possible.
We all have Venus in our chart.
If you wanted to be a bit fanciful, you
could say that when Venus is moving
forwards, she sprinkles a bit of magical
fairy dust as she goes. She brings love
to the top of your agenda – even if that
means you end up realising that, in
fact, your love life is lacking!
She is all about what and who youlove and what you hold dear – what
you value.
When she is retrograding, as she is
doing this month, you get a second
chance to reconsider who and what you
value. Perhaps you’ve been taking your
partner for granted, for example. Venus
retrograde could trigger events that
make you ask yourself if you should be
holding this person closer to your heart- or perhaps the love has run out?
Because Venus is about love and
relationships, when she is retrograding,
she can also bring second chances in
Think about your love life and what you need to
move on from. For example, did you have
a hurtful lover in the past who made you put up
barriers that are stopping you from loving with
an open heart now? The Full Moon in your Love
Zone makes May the perfect time to release any
lingering negativity, including self-doubt.Taurus
Leo
JUL 24 – AUG 23
Once a year the Full Moon reminds you
that you need to find a work/life balance- and it’s that time of the year again. So
how are you doing with that? Too much
work or too much focus on your personal
life just isn’t sustainable. In particular,
when it comes to your relationships,
learn your lessons fast – then move on.
Gemini
MAY 22 – JUNE 22
It’s an interesting time for you. Lay a bit
low this month and contemplate all your
options. Think about what you want for
the year ahead and come up with some
ideas of how to achieve your goals. It’s
crucial to weigh up what really matters to
you and strategise from there. May 22
offers a wonderful chance for a restart.Cancer
JUN 23 – JUL 23
If it feels like your money is drying up
or taking longer than you would like
to reach you, don’t panic. The rare
retrograde cycle by abundance planet
Venus is the cause, but this cycle is
temporary. Your big financial lesson
now is to stop worrying too much
