While Venus is Retrograde July 25th through September 6th 2015, be prepared for relationship karma to come back around. You are likely to be contacted by people from your past that you have unresolved issues with, from as long as 20, 30, 40 years in the past. During the Venus Retrograde, don’t do anything rash. Use this time to quietly observe and formulate a plan. Wait until AFTER Sept 6th to make decisions about old friends who’ve resurfaced, to fall in love or get married, to buy, remodel or furnish a new home, property, stocks and bonds, clothes, jewelry, art, or any beauty/fashion items, including hair style and color. If you do it during the retrograde, you may have to restart the process. I’d wait until after October 9, since that’s when Venus returns to the position it was in before it went retrograde. Retrograde can be a good time for negotiation but not closure. There will be a solar eclipse taking place shortly after Venus moves forward again. This means that many people are embarking on totally new cycles as the summer comes to a close.
Remember: Relationship karma can be “good” as well as “bad.” When you are thoughtful and considerate, you are always rewarded by good relationships of all types.
Just because you love each other doesn’t mean you have to get married.
Just because you argue doesn’t mean you have to divorce.
Just because you can’t be lovers doesn’t mean you can’t be friends.
When you stop taking score of where you are in a relationship, and where it’s going, you have more enjoyable Now moments, which lead to more enjoyable Now moments, and the viscous snowball of good goes into effect.
