VENUS RETROGRADE To thine own self be true and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man (Shakespeare, Hamlet) Venus is famous as the goddess of
love and beauty, but she also rules money, aesthetics, fashion, pleasure and sheer self-indulgence. Venus has been travelling through feisty, warrior- like fire sign Aries since early February, meaning she is less gracious and more impatient and demanding than usual. Normally she spends just one month in each zodiac sign, but in 2017, she will be in Aries for a full four months, pacing backwards and forwards until she’s

worked out exactly what she wants and what she values. The most important part of this cycle stretches from 5th March to 16th April. Astrologers call this re-assessment period ‘Venus retrograde’ – a time when we too assess the value of the people and things in our lives and clear out the dead wood. Now that might sound rather harsh,
but Venus retrograde works in a subtle manner to show us what or whom we truly value. For example during the Venus retrograde period you may hear news of your ex and find out he’s still in love with you, or indeed about to have a baby with his new partner! Or you may stumble across an old entry in a diary that highlights the loyalty of a friend or reminds you how much you love dancing. Or perhaps you watch a film that exactly mirrors a situation you’re experiencing in real life or bump into a person you haven’t seen for years. When Venus is retrograde, it’s
impossible to hide or pretend, and others will clearly sense your true motives and feelings. In turn you will become aware of any problems, differences or unresolved issues in your own life… is that job, still a dream job or have you outgrown it? The upside of these epiphanies is that you often realise how much someone appreciates or cares for you, or become aware of passions and treasures long buried or forgotten. The Venus retrograde period is one
of discernment and evaluation as you assess key relationships, priorities and activities in your life and ask: ‘Am I following my heart? Do I still want this person/activity in my life?” The usual advice is not to act on this awareness until Venus starts moving forward again (after 16th April). The Venus retrograde period is not
a good time for new investments or financial/business activities as the value of a share, product or commodity may be over-valued. On the other hand, it’s an excellent time for renegotiating a loan or contract, or buying real estate, antiques and other second-hand goods where you know the true value of the item (even though the seller may not!)
