Venus Retrograde
Astrology by Lisa Stardust
Venus, planet of love, sex, and relationships, starts its retrograde journey on May 13th and lasts until June 25th. As Venus moonwalks in the sign of Gemini, we’ll reflect on past relationships, spruce up our sexual desires, and connect with our truest heartfelt desires. We will even heal and forgive the past in the process.
Aries
Unfortunately, you may hear unfavorable gossip about your current crush during Venus’ backspin. Don’t fret! 99.9999% of what you hear is false. Before you confront them, make sure you’re getting the straight up facts before having a meltdown over rumors. Once you know the whole story, you’ll have a laugh.
Taurus
It’s time to get your confidence back, or at least try to. Create a Tinder profile to suss our people who can be your next boo. If you’re committed, then you may want to make it a point to have some “you” time to focus on your needs right now.
Gemini
Although you may be tempted to hit up a former crush to have a little QT on Zoom for a romantic interlude, try to refrain from doing so. Use this retrograde as a moment to reflect on how you can improve your relationships, instead of jumping right back into one.
Cancer
Have you been dreaming of an old lover? Well, if you have then you may want to connect with them during the Venusian moonwalk to see what they have been up to recently. Checking in with them after not talking for all this time will be healing and cathartic, too.
Leo
A friend has the potential to be more. Be careful before you make a move and take a bite out of the forbidden fruit. Understand that this flirtation will never become more than friends vibing, as they may be in a situationship of their own that they are committed to.
Virgo
Although you’ve been pushing for your relationship to get to the next level, you’re suddenly having cold feet. Hit pause on your partnership and take space from your S.O. to figure out what you want. Allow yourself time to decide if you want to give your all to someone now.
Libra
Experimenting with sexual positions will bring you more pleasure than you ever expected. If you’re getting down with a partner, speak up about your fantasies. Don’t hold back! If you’re pleasuring yourself solo, then perhaps a fun new sex toy will make you smile brighter and glow up your vibe.
Scorpio
Control is a major problem in your partnership. Instead of arguing about who’s the boss in your relationship, bring the power struggle to the bedroom. Take turns tying each other up to see who really is the one with all the power. This will bring you closer than ever before.
Sagittarius
A former flame will swing back your way. After a few friendly convos, you’ll want to engage in casual flirting with them. They have a few new tricks up their sleeves, so you won’t be sexting in familiar waters. In fact, you will be more attracted to them than before.
Capricorn
Sex is on your mind more than usual, as it’s your relaxation time. Your work hard, play hard sentiments are making you want to treat yourself to several orgasms daily (at the same time) before your start your work day (or during your lunch hour if you’re working from home).
Aquarius
You’re not a shower yourself, but that doesn’t mean you're adverse to watching your crush pleasure themselves on FaceTime. Nothing will bring you more happiness and turn you on more than hearing their moans and seeing their faces glow up. And, that’s how you’ll feel before they finish pleasuring themselves.
Pisces
You’re in the mood to get back to basics. That means ditching the role playing and whips in exchange for missionary position. After all, you want to keep things as simple as possible at the moment before you get swept up in another sexual journey of decadence (which sounds fun).
