Yes, waiting it out is really the only thing to do. Amy, the attitude of “being at peace” is really the best one for the time being. That’s what the Venus retrograde cycle pretty much urges us to do. It gives us a chance to “step back” and figure things out. If it’s our partner who is withdrawn, it can be a challenging time wondering what’s going to happen next. Venus in Aries is such a direct and straightforward energy, it can be really tempting to push matters or try to force a confrontation. However, that’s not going to go over well right now.

We’ve got some really exciting Venus energy coming up. Venus conjunct Mars on the 20-22 in late Pisces, and then Venus and Mars will be traveling (forward) in Aries pretty close to one another in the month of May. That’s when love energy will be direct, active, and extremely straightforward, perhaps too honest for some. For much of June, Venus and Mars will continue to move ahead close to one another in the sign of Taurus, and then it’s Gemini’s turn.

Keep us posted!

Taking things slowly and keeping in a realistic frame of mind is always a good idea. Venus was slowing down on February 20th, heading towards its retrograde cycle. However, it doesn’t mean you can’t meet someone with whom you can have a long-lasting relationship. In fact, that day, Venus was in healthy aspect to Mars and Jupiter, and the Sun with Pluto. This retrograde period might slow things down a little, but it’s not necessarily a “bad” thing, either!

Thanks very much for such an informative website!

I met someone on the 20th of February, while the moon was direct in Capricorn. I thought this might have been a goodtime for me to meet someone but I just read that Venus was already in Aries. I gather this is a no-go for long-lasting relationships. I am taking things slowly and staying very grounded, As I realise that Venus is now retrograde for the next few weeks. Any advice on the potential of the relationship?

Thanks very much for any and all advice!

Warm wishes,

Come around… March 5 ( our 10 month mark) things started 2 be rocky… backwards even. I went through a really bad week beginning that following monday and I was emotionally in need of Angel (that’s him) more than ever… buh he seemed so distant.. he’s been busy with baseball and work and skool activities buh it never was a big problem… buh it seems that he all of a sudden, slowly started to not care or take pride in me like he once did. my Libra began to turn cold… wen I wuld touch him, as if tellin him to come closer to me, there wuld be no warmth coming off of him anymore. He began to be so focused on himself and what he was doing and about things he wanted that its like I started to see myself fall down his list of priorities. it wuldnt matter to him that I needed him to be with me. its like it didn’t matter 2 him that I felt alone… he was goin to work n makin money n getting good grades n coming up in baseball… and I did support him. go to his games and root for his team even tho they lost everygame… id go just 2 be with him cuz I wanted 2. buh inside I knew the love wasn’t the same. its like he started to become selfish and jus worry abt himself..which is uncharacteristic for him…bcuz selfish is one thing I know he isn’t. and on march 9, wen the moon was in virgo, I started 2 tell him (n got emotional, angry even) abt how I felt n how unhappy I was… I didn’t wana leave the relationship cuz I believed in us… he said he didn’t waana leave either but he said that his life is complicated and hard and confusing… like mine isn’t, u know?? he said he culdnt be with me anymore…. and I didn’t take it well… bcuz I wanted 2 be with him, I wanted 2 help him n face our difficulties together as a team. I guess his excuse is… that he’s too busy for a relationship… too busy for me… idk… I just want to know if anyone here can pleasse help me understand what happened and help me prepare for what is going to happen in the future wehn venus goes back into pisces then again, into my sign of aries. I am very interested in astrology and believe in it bcuz it makes sense 2 me. id like to know more about what is going on in this situation I am in… bcuz skool restarts ina bout a week and I have 2 see him again. iAnd I can’t hide from him.. he has 5 of my classes and we r in the same chorus…I jus want 2 go back with a little more understannding and wisdom. if I understand better, maybe I will be able 2 let go if its really the end…. he said it was the end… I asked him where I stood and he said tha he didn’t want me to hold on 2 anything. but he still wuld like 2 be friends…. so I haven’t been talking to him lately and we act like we do not know eachother.. I said I didn’t wana be his friend cuz I culdnt.. idk how 2 act.. I know ill jus fall in love w/ him again… but I still feel like he misses me n still loves me… its just a feeling tho… like he’s puttin up a front to everybody.. but idk… it culd prolly jus be me. Help. Please.

I was wondering how this Venus rx would affect a person (my bf) who has the following planets:
Sun Virgo
Moon Aries
Venus, Mars, Mercury Leo

and another (me) with:

Sun Leo
Moon Leo
Venus, Mars, Mercury Virgo ?

I am asking because him and I are on a “time to think about things” type of break with a hint of “it’s over with doom and gloom” sprinkled all over it. I dont want it to be over, he didnt want it to be the end either but he said he couldnt deal with it. =( Is Venus really trying her best to mess with us or is it really most likely over?
