Will your ex come back with Venus retrograde in Gemini transit of 2020? In short – no.
Ah, yes. Venus retrograde. The signature ex transit. But what if I told you this could be a tremendously healing influence if you lean into it?
Making it just about potentially connecting to someone in your past dismisses the immense healing potential that this energy could have for clearing out the past. Retrograde signals an internal energy of reviewing and making peace with the past. Getting caught up in ex drama is a waste of this fertile opportunity to heal your past.
With the energy in Gemini, it particularly has to do with our mental states and our communicative processes. Venus has to do with what we value. This month and a half long transit gives you a beautiful opportunity to pull the focus inward, to speak to yourself in a more loving and gentle way. How have your mental processes gotten into a rut from the past? How can you talk to yourself in a more loving tone? How can you take an objective look to your romantic processes and free yourself from self-imposed patterns?
Let’s break it down, rising sign by rising sign, for your unique chart so you can begin to understand where you’ll feel this influence!
Aries rising – Venus will be retrograde within your 3rd house May and June of 2020, so you could reconnect from schoolmates from the past. You may experience this spring with the extra time in quarantine, you want to put time into a subject you used to value, but lost touch with. Remember when you were young and you used to love blogging? Try it again now to see if it still piques your interest!
Taurus rising – With Venus as your ruling planet, you are much more sensitive to what the planet of beauty and love is up to, so get ready for a major review in your life! Venus will be retrograde in your 2nd house of finances, so you could be receiving a payment from the past you are owed. You may take an internal journey of reevaluating your income and if it truly reflects the value you bring to your work. Use this energy constructively by not making any major financial decisions, but thoughtfully rebudgeting to ensure you’re moving towards your financial goals.
Gemini rising – With Venus moving retrograde through your first house of identity and appearance, you may be feeling the urge to drastically rework how it is you present yourself. Lean on tried and true methods rather than anything innovative, as Venus retrograde is best for styles and beauty rituals from the past rather than anything drastic. Your energy is a bit of an indecisive one, so you could dye your hair red just to decide later that week blondes have more fun. Take this time to pull the focus inward on how it is you want to portray yourself.
Cancer rising – Cancer rising, the planet of love, beauty and pleasure will be taking a retrograde journey in your 12th house of what’s hidden, what’s subconscious and your dream world. You could dream about your exes and flames from the past. Make the most of this transit by spending lots of time alone to pull the focus inward and ask yourself where it is your source your validation. Since the planet of beauty is hidden, you may not feel as lovable or as beautiful – but really, Cancer, you’re as attractive and lovely as ever, you’re just meant to go on an internal journey to discover it rather than relying on external validation.
Leo rising – Your blast from the past may manifest particularly with your social groups or hopes and dreams from the past. You may run into (or find on social media) colleagues from your past. If you valued these partnerships, use the objective energy of Gemini to ask questions and reconnect. You are led by passion, Leo rising, and you can use this time by reflecting on creative dreams you had from your past and if you still love them.
Virgo rising – Virgo risings, Venus will be retrograde within your 10th house of career, reputation and professional status. 10th house is the most public part of the chart, so you can use this retrograde to positively redesign how it is you want to be seen by others in your social media or in your industry. Redesign your website or rework your Instagram’s aesthetic to portray the reputation you want to exude.
Libra rising – With your ruling planet retrograde within your 9th house of spirituality and travel, you may be feeling a huge pull to expand your worldview. Since we can’t physically travel at this time, perhaps you revise your budgeting to ensure once it’s lifted, you can take that Europe trip you’ve always dreamed of! If you had a fling during your study abroad, you could be hearing from that person as well. Or, expect to feel a pull to reconnect with a spirituality or religion that you used to value quite a bit.
Scorpio rising – The planet of money is going on a retrograde journey in your 8th house of shared resources, so you could receive a payout that you’ve been expecting, in alimony, child support or your partner could receive money they’ve been waiting for. You may have a desire to search inward to discover what it is you value in a truly intimate connection.
Sagittarius rising – Ooh, okay, Sagittarius rising, you’re one of the rising signs who are mostly likely to have your Venus retrograde story be about an ex! Here you’re getting a review of the exes who have come before – but wait, before jumping in their arms and running off into the sunset. Gemini is a very mental energy, so you may use this energy to draw your focus inward to reflect on romantic patterns and habits from your past. Contemplate what you learn from these unions and the gems of wisdom you can take moving forward.
Capricorn rising – Venus heads retrograde in your 6th house of service, work and small animals. You could have to rework a creative project for work you’ve already done at work or reconnect with coworkers you haven’t seen before. You may have a memory of how much you used to love bunnies and decide to get one as a pet. You also could get the opportunity to review the value you add at your work place and if it makes sense.
Aquarius rising – With Venus retrograde in Gemini moving through your 5th house of romance, creativity and children, you certainly can be hit up by a fling from the past. You may decide to restart a creative project from your past or a new medium for your creativity.
Pisces rising – Venus retrograde goes on a review in the 4th house of home, family and emotional state, it could be a potentially healing time for your family unit. Venus is a harmonizing benefic and with the energy in Gemini , prioritize communication in smoothing things over. You also could get the desire to redesign or renovate your living quarters in some way – remember, with retrograde periods, aesthetics you’ve liked or done before always work best!
