Venus is currently in retrograde(December 18-Jan 29th). When a planet is in retrograde, it is a time of reflection, reassessment, re-evaluating, renewal, and turning inwards.
Venus is the planet of love, relationships, money, resources, partnerships, harmony, and beauty. With Venus in Capricorn(the planet of business, commitment, long-term, goals, etc.) this can be a period of people reflecting on the future of their relationships and money. People will be focused on their future and the long-term, which can cause quite a few scenarios, ranging from break-ups to further commitment.
Mercury retrograde starts up from January 18th until February 2nd, which will bring in the usual bout of miscommunications, travel delays, technology mishaps, and ghosts from the past showing up to be put to rest.
Mercury RX will start out in friendly, yet aloof Aquarius, but shift back into serious Capricorn on Jan. 25th.
Common themes:
- Breakups
- Situationships fizzling out or turning into long-term commitment — Exes coming back**
- Missing exes and reflecting on past relationships**
- Reflecting on deciding the partnership is long-term potential-Money issues -Owed money coming in
- Relationships becoming more solidified
**Although romantic relationships are a common theme, it can relate to other type of relationships, including business partners, friendships, etc.
It is recommended to be careful starting new relationships or situationships (as they tend to not last, but this isn't always true), making dramatic changes to your appearances, making big decisions with money, texting or responding to your ex, and making impulsive changes in relationships.
Towards the latter half of Mercury RX, this will add an extra heavy dose of misunderstandings and miscommunications within relationships.
Ensure you are not just communicating clearly, but truly listening. Some conversations may be misconstrued over text or email. Be mindful of that.
Remember, retrogrades are not a thing to fear.
When used properly, it can bring immense growth to one's life. Astrology is merely understanding the patterns of the cosmos. When used properly, one can learn to surf the cosmic waves and use it to their advantage.
