Aries 21 March - 20 April... As Venus rewinds in Scorpio, she encourages a review of close bonds, trust, shared assets and emotional entanglements. An old financial issue may need a review, but don't force any conclusions - find a diplomatic way forward. In addition, friends could challenge a romantic choice, or group demands could conflict with personal interests. Do what makes you happy.

Taurus 21 April - 21 May... Make time to consider relationships, commitments and what you truly need from others. As Venus regresses, an old flame or unresolved partnership issue could resurface. Don't be too sentimental when making crucial decisions. On another note, a Mars-Pluto clash suggests that career and family plans could be at odds with each other. Try to avoid overdramatising it all.

Gemini 22 May - 21 June... It may be time to rethink work, daily routines, self-care and your day-to-day relationships with co-workers and key others. As Venus goes into reverse, a workplace matter or old habit may show up so you can reflect and resolve it. An intense aspect also brings power plays into the mix. Talks about travel plans or local affairs can get quite heated, so it's wise to stay cool.

Cancer 22 June - 23 July... As Venus reverts in your leisure zone, you'll reflect on hobbies, creativity and romance, and on what genuinely brings you pleasure. Something you once loved to do could capture your attention again, or perhaps an old flame might reappear. Another potent aspect suggests that profound conversations could trigger a war of words that may require immediate action.

Leo 24 July - 23 August... As Venus goes into reverse in your home zone, she encourages reviewing family matters and domestic arrangements. Old memories or unresolved issues could rise to the surface, and you may forget how passionate you once felt about them. Now is your chance to heal them with diplomacy and insight. A disagreement also needs handling with the greatest care, so go easy.

Virgo 24 August - 23 September... You're encouraged to reconsider discussions, agreements and perhaps old connections. Venus's retro phase can be a call to look into projects and ideas that have gathered dust and discuss them with interested friends. A potent aspect also suggests that hidden frustrations could surface due to exhaustion or demanding tasks. A few adjustments can restore control.

Libra 24 September - 23 October... As Venus, your personal planet, reverses, she brings attention to the way you handle your money and the values you live by. These could come up for review, as well as the need to set firmer boundaries if you've been giving and getting very little back in return. Also, the Mars-Pluto face-off could coincide with a showdown with friends. Surprise them by standing firm.

Scorpio 24 October - 22 November... It may be time for a thoughtful reassessment of relationships, especially if you've blocked yourself from seeing what's truly going on. Now you'll need to take a deeper look and be honest with yourself. Act on any insights. And with Pluto in the mix today, there could be an issue with work-family conflicts. It could become heated, so it's best to proceed with care.

Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December... Buried feelings and hidden desires could bubble up as Venus regresses in a private zone. Emotions you haven't felt in a while could surface, bringing confusion and frustration, even if you thought you'd overcome them. Whatever issues surface, see them from an enhanced perspective. Don't take offence based on just one conversation. It pays to look much deeper.

Capricorn 22 December - 20 January... You'll be taking a fresh look at your social life and long-term dreams as Venus turns retrograde from today. An old friend might reappear, or you could question whether certain alliances are still good for you. In addition, arguments about who contributes what to the household budget could show up. Review arrangements calmly and keep boundaries intact.

Aquarius 21 January - 19 February... Professional, business or work relationships come under the spotlight as luscious Venus regresses. You'll sense who you can trust and who may not have your best interests at heart. Now is the time to act on such insights. Even so, a powerful aspect could shake up a bond as deep feelings come out into the open. Be careful what you say, as you might regret it later.

Pisces 20 February - 20 March... Have travel plans? If you're going with a partner or a group, they might need to be put on hold. Issues could crop up, which means someone could drop out, putting the trip in jeopardy. Let things settle before you rebook and you'll avoid any hassle. Plus, don't give yourself too much to do, especially if you're already tired. Take a deep rest and soon you'll feel restored.
