What Does Retrograde Mean?
When you hear about a planet going retrograde, that means to us earthlings that the planet appears to move backwards. Moving backwards can be frustrating but keep in mind, Venus goes retrograde about every 18 months so it’s nothing to be afraid of.
During this time you may experience issues with Venusian keywords like attraction, love, relationships, and beauty. This might mean past relationships or relationship issues could resurface, or body image issues could come back up as well. Even though that may sound scary, it’s important to be conscious of these themes so you can flow with the feelings that come up for you.
Remember, the stars may influence our energy’s but we are still humans with free will. We make our own choices every day; so we can let Venus retrograde consume us, or we can flow with it and come out stronger.
Piecing the Keywords Together for This 2020 Venus Retrograde in Gemini
Since we know body image issues may arise, we can channel that Gemini energy of connection and connect to our bodies again. Shut out the noise from everyone else and care for yourself. Really channel this Gemini energy and invent new ways to show yourself some love.
Maybe you have some unresolved feelings that have been weighing you down for a while. If this is the case, communicate these feelings with a trusted friend or partner. Release that energy, stick to your guns, and do not let these feelings consume you.
If you are in a committed relationship that feels dull, but you don’t want things to come to an end, try focusing on one thing at a time. Gemini rules short term goals, so think about what you can do to spice things up. It’s a great time to change up your routines, because Gemini is all about adaptability and cleverness. Although, Venus Retrograde in Gemini is not the only thing causing issues here in 2020. It’s hard to adventure in quarantine, so it’s essential to get creative.
Some Venus Retrograde in Quarantine Solutions
- Work out, make yourself a healthy Salmon dinner with sweet potatoes and dark leafy greens (my plan!).
- Give yourself an oil massage, milk bath, or whatever “self care” practice that makes you feel best.
- Write a letter to your ex, fold it origami style or use fun colors (Venus likes beauty, so really think about the aesthetic of this letter), then release it into the wild (burn it, throw it in a pond, bury it, etc).
- Order delivery from a place you’ve never tried before. Don’t be afraid to splurge, nourishing your body is worth it!
- Sign up for a virtual class for couples, or friends.
Final Message
You may fight with your ex, your self, or your boo during this time, but don’t think of this as a bad thing. Think of this as a great time to rekindle those fires (Retrograde), blow some air on those little flames (Gemini), and bring that roaring spark back to the relationship with yourself and others (Venus).
