Venus turns retrograde on October 3rd. Named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty, Venus will be acting contrary to type as long as she is traveling backwards in the zodiac signs of Scorpio and Libra. Needless to say, this isn't the time to change your look, switch love partners, or purchase any shiny new objects because what catches your fancy one day will only leave you scratching your head in bewilderment a day later. But Venus retrograde brings more than just an unforeseen bout of questionable taste. It can also mean trouble. The planet of attraction in Astrology, Venus retrograde can turn you into a target of jealousy, covetousness, and even bullying. For some inexplicable reason, people will just have it out for you. That's why it's so important to be disarming, courteous, and politic, even when it's others who are at fault. It may feel unfair and like you're the one who has to bear the burden, but remember the famous Venus maxim: “You get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.” Venus will be retrograde from October 4th to November 13th.
