Venus retrograde can bring old friends, partners, or acquaintances back into focus. You may bump into someone from your past in a familiar place, within your social circle, or on social media. Unresolved issues may resurface in your thoughts or arise in conversations. You may feel compelled to examine how you connect with others, whether in your close relationships or everyday interactions. Take a closer look at how you demonstrate love, affection, and appreciation for others. Now is an ideal time to resolve any misunderstandings and reframe how you communicate your values and needs. Venus is also associated with beauty, art, and creativity. If you’ve been working on a writing project, creative work, or any form of artistic expression, this retrograde could inspire you to revise, edit, or revisit past creations with a new perspective. On Monday, Mercury moves into Aries, where it will begin its retrograde.
