What effect does Gemini’s retrograde have?
Mercury rules Gemini, so when it’s direct (i.e. not retrograde) in this sign, it’s exalted (i.e. right at home). When it moves backwards, as it will from May 10 to 22, you get a cosmic formula for the typical Mercury retrograde stumbling blocks.
What does Gemini’s retrograde mean?
Mercury retrograde hell has back, Gemini, and you’re the main attraction (sowwy, I’m just the messenger!). First and foremost, any Mercury retrograde is usually a tornado of dramz for you since Mercury is your ruler, and when our ruler is out of whack, we feel whack! Second, this Mercury retrograde is occurring in your zodiac sign, which means you’ll be perplexed at every step. The best course of action is to go with the flow, to take your time, and to trust your instincts. Anxiety will start to surface for you near the end of the journey, so practice mindfulness and take a break.
How will the retrograde of Venus effect your zodiac sign in 2021?
Venus retrograde began on Dec. 19, in case you missed it, and it’s conceivable you’ve already felt its effects in your love life or relationships. This backspin promises six weeks of slowdowns and blunders in relationships, dating, finances, beauty, and other areas. Venus retrograde, which occurs every year and a half, may be a disorienting and distressing astrological period, but not everyone will be engulfed in drama. Things may materialize on a quieter or more internal level for the zodiac signs least influenced by Venus retrograde 2021.
This time around, Venus is backspinning through Capricorn, which gives our sense of values a realistic and grounded vibe. Instead of chasing after transient passions, this Capricorn-ruled retrograde will help us connect with the long-term goals we have in mind, whether they are related to love, money, or any other Venusian subject. Because Venus is so close to the enigmatic planet Pluto during this retrograde, our experiences may be a little more intense than usual. Anything buried will most likely arise, but we may consider of it as an opportunity to clear the air once and for all.
While retrogrades have a bad reputation for producing confusion, they also provide critical opportunity to confront the past and present in order to go forward with more power. We can avoid unnecessary drama by following a few easy Venus retrograde measures. Save any large romantic commitments (such establishing or ending relationships) for after the retrograde, if at all feasible. When Venus backspins, we frequently feel compelled to relive former flings, even if it isn’t in our best interests. Also, put off any major beauty appointments, such as haircuts or cosmetic surgeries because Venus is the planet of beauty, so if you want to drastically change your appearance, wait until the planet moves direct.
While Venus retrograde in 2021 may momentarily turn some people’s love life upside down, for others it will be considerably less dramatic. Consider yourself fortunate if you belong to one of the zodiac signs that Venus retrograde will have the least impact on.
