Venus, the planet of love, will move into retrograde motion on March 9, 2001. This means that Venus, in her orbit of the sun, is slowing down, and from the viewpoint of the Earth, it looks like she is going backwards. She will turn direct, and speed up on April 20, 2001. During this 40-day period we take a cold hard look at our relationships. We voluntarily retreat so we can take an inventory of our own needs in love. We may notice traits of our friends and lovers that are normally hidden from view. This is a time when old friends and lovers may return to revisit the relationship and explore a second chance. When Venus turns direct on April 20, 2001, we can take the person from the past back in to our lives or we can send them away. One should not marry during the Venus Retrograde. There is the possibility that in the future one or both partners may fall out of love.

Here is how this Venus Retrograde period will affect each sign:
