General Astrology
Overview for All 12 Signs:
All hands on deck! The Love Boat gets a little lost at sea this week, as Venus turns retrograde in Gemini from May 15 until June 27. Romances may go adrift temporarily or hit a rocky patch. Then again, who ever said relationships should always be smooth sailing? Navigating the choppy waters of love can be the ultimate growth experience for couples. Learning to cooperate and communicate—two of Gemini’s teachings—will be the proverbial life raft for the next six months. This retrograde could bring the breakthrough moment for some pairs, a point when you finally arrive at a deep understanding and appreciation for your differences.
Keep that couple’s counselor on speed dial if you must. It’s normal to have second thoughts about a relationship during a Venus retrograde, especially as it falls in dualistic Gemini. But acting rashly upon those destructive impulses is never a wise idea. Even if it IS time to leave a lover behind, it’s always best to exit with our integrity in tow and the “Cheaters” camera crew far, far away from your front door.
Retrogrades rule the past, so this Venus phase could bring a fleet of exes back to port. Gemini is the sign of twin flames (supersized soulmates, if you will), so if you had a missed connection with The One, it might be time to check back in and see if divine timing is on your side. Warning: this is not meant to give you false hope about a toxic love addiction. If s/he mistreated you the first time around, don’t glorify the past. You’ll just be crying SOS if you go there again.
Do you have a wedding planned during Venus retrograde? No need to rebook the chapel or go "Runaway Bride" on your boo. DO, however, schedule some extra premarital counseling sessions. You may want to create a tradition of renewing your vows on an annual basis, just to make sure you stay present to what you promised each other. Marriages that take place under Venus retrograde in Gemini might require extra communication and constant stimulation—hey, at least you won’t turn into a boring “old married couple”!
Sunday brings the first eclipse of 2012, a solar eclipse in Gemini. This is the first day that the zodiac’s Twins will rule the skies, as the sun and new moon will align at zero degrees Gemini. In the tarot deck, 0 represents The Fool card—a symbol of leaping into the unknown. Solar eclipses are all about fresh starts and new beginnings, but these openings tend to happen swiftly and out of the blue. This weekend, a sudden opportunity to partner up could arise. Complementary forces, twin flames, and perfect matches could reveal themselves in unexpected ways. Gemini is the sign of innovative genius and experimental concepts. That “Eureka!” moment could happen under the light of the eclipse. If so, get thee to the lab. You can make major strides between now and November 28, when a corresponding full moon/lunar eclipse in Gemini brings grand ideas and promising partnerships to their richest potential.
