Venus was named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. She rules over the laws of attraction and it’s her job to make two hearts beat as one – except for when she’s retrograde. Retrogrades often depict a planet’s about-face which you will see as Venus sows the seeds of acrimony and dissent over the next six weeks. Add the fact that Venus will be retrograde in Scorpio, the zodiac sign of sex and secrets, and you will see those seeds yield a toxic crop. It will be hard to choose between an ugly truth and a lie that’s been made beautiful in order to gloss over its defects. Nevertheless everything comes out in the wash when Scorpio’s involved so it’s no use covering it up because there’s a portrait stored in an attic somewhere that’s registering all of those deceits, sins, and betrayals. If there’s something that needs to be said it’s best to say it outright because it will only come back to haunt you in the end.
