May 15th through June 27th, 2012. Venus is a bright star that can presently be seen in the western sky shortly after sundown. Get out and take a look before she is gone, because over the next few weeks she will be sinking slowing into the horizon.

Venus is the ruler of love and money, and her retrogrades can slow down and even hault progress in those areas. Venus' retrograde occurs about every other year, and this time she will be dancing madly backwards in the dynamic sign of Gemini. Gemini loves two of everything, and some of us may actually find ourselves torn between lovers. We may also be more tempted to step out on a committed relationship. Gemini likes variety. Often when a planet is in retrograde, it brings up the past. It's likely that lost loves will return during this time, but with Venus in Gemini, its more likely to be a "booty call," rather than an opportunity to reunite long term.
