Venus Retrograde is here to challenge relationships from July 22 through September 3. Here's what you need to know to get through this trying and exciting time for your zodiac sign.
Leo: There's something you're responsible for that negatively impacted your relationship, and you have regrets about doing it. No matter how big or small, this is something that's worth apologizing for and learning from so you can improve your relationship or situation you're in. Your word of the week is reflection.
Virgo: Your business partnerships become the focus for you, as there's a lot of excitement and movement happening in this part of your life. Whether this is employment or a side hustle of yours, focusing your energy on partnerships with vendors, clients, etc. will open the door to even more financial opportunities. Your word of the week is wealth.
Libra: Finding balance between your home, love, and professional lives is your focus over the next month. Fairness and balance comes naturally to you as a Libra, but this Venus Retrograde phase may be pulling you in different directions. Make sure you find that balance. Your word of the week is path.
Scorpio: Not every ending needs to be sad or bad. You'll experience one or more endings during this Venus Retrograde phase, and it turns out to be very positive and abundant for you. Make the most out of this happy time. Your word of the week is wrap.
Sagittarius: Don't feel guilty for needing a break. You'd be much better off secluding yourself to collect your thoughts rather than blurting out something you'll regret saying 5 seconds later. Your word of the week is refresh.
Capricorn: This retrograde phase is a perfect time to slow down and stay focused on tasks that are in front of you. Allowing yourself to get distracted by others' relationships will be your downfall. Stick to what you CAN control, and let go of what you can't. Your word of the week is release.
Aquarius: Take a look at your relationship with money and how you earn it. You may be feeling like it's time for change, and this can come in the form of saving and/or earning more. Spend time contemplating this important relationship in your life, and make changes accordingly. Your word of the week is money.
Pisces: Your relationships at work and the relationship you have with your current job become your focus right now. It's time to face the music - either get these relationships right, or move on and find an employment situation that makes you happier and less stressed. This difficult choice is really all up to you. Your word of the week is peace.
Aries: If you're not getting the space you need to process your feelings in an argument, then you need to MAKE that time for yourself. Slowing down and holding space to feel it out is key to making amends in your relationship or whatever situation you're in. Your word of the week is space.
Taurus: This is a time for you to gather information and make observations. Sharpening your listening skills during this retrograde phase will help you become a better partner, friend, and lover. Your word of the week is listen.
Gemini: The relationship you have with your home comes into question. Whether you're wanting to move in with a lover or new roommate, or you simply want to move someplace new, this is a real possibility for you. In fact, it may be the only option for you at this point. Spend time looking for the perfect place that feels like home. Your word of the week is home.
Cancer: Your focus is on the relationship you have with yourself and making long-term investments in your future. Reframing what you consider to be an investment needs to shift during this time. For example, further education or certification shouldn't be seen as an expense. Rather, it's an investment in yourself. Your word of the week is growth.
