After last week’s powerful Scorpio flower moon, our attention now turns toward the commencement of a full-on retrograde season. The week ahead brings Saturn, Jupiter, and Venus in retrograde, meaning the universe is asking us to slow our roll even more. (I know, how slow can we go given that many of us are self-isolating in lockdown? But we can, and we should.)

The week begins with Mercury, the planet of communication, making a promising angle to Jupiter right before Mercury moves into Gemini on Monday. Mercury in Taurus, trining Jupiter in Capricorn (on May 10, Mother’s Day) heralds good news and positive communication.

To utilize Mercury’s auspicious connection to Jupiter and Saturn, spend time cultivating positive thoughts. Recite an affirmation or two. Develop a vision for where you’d like to head. Ask for help from both the people in your life, as well as the Divine. You have a spiritual connection and practice prayer, be sure to nurture this now.

On Monday, Saturn also begins his retrograde journey. Over the next eight weeks, the planet of discipline and lord of karma, Saturn, will retrace his steps, moving back into Capricorn on July 1. During this time, we’ll cement our preview of what Saturn in Aquarius will bring (hello, significant changes to work culture, and new norms regarding working from home.)

Then on Wednesday, both Venus and Mars take their positions for now through the end of June. Venus’ retrograde begins while Mars, the planet of action, leaves Aquarius and enters into Pisces. Mars will travel in Pisces for the duration of the Venus retrograde. When Venus stations direct on June 25, Mars exits Pisces, entering into Aries on June 27.

The main Venus in retrograde meaning is to consider what we love and why we love it. Themes of communication, writing, networking, friendships, and sibling dynamics will be up for review.

The main Venus in retrograde meaning is to consider what we love and why we love it. Since this happens in Gemini, the themes of communication, writing, networking, friendships, and sibling dynamics will be up for review. Additionally, so will love and all things appearance. Mars in Pisces brings a softer emphasis, encouraging empathy, and spiritual development. That said, we can expect the next eight weeks to bring relationship dynamics to the forefront of our lives.

Come Thursday, Jupiter—the planet of good luck, good fortune, and growth—stations retrograde in Capricorn until September 12, helping us to cultivate positivity and further extract the lessons of what we just went through. The week ends with the sun making powerful trines to both Pluto and Jupiter. Though both are retrograde, Jupiter and Pluto bestow auspicious powers, as they make their trine to the sun in Taurus.

So, pay attention to that what you want to call into your life. And to help you make sense of it all, below find the Venus in retrograde meaning for your sun sign.
