Love Horoscope for the Week of April 25


weeklyloveBefore we begin, a word about retrogrades. The general consensus among Western astrologers is that retrograde planets are at a bit of a disadvantage. They’re going backwards, after all, so you might expect the things they rule to run less than smoothly. And yet in my experience, retrogrades (other than Mercury maybe, but we’ll get to that in a bit) are actually incredibly useful. Couldn’t Mars use a little introspection? Surely Jupiter could tone it down on occasion, right? Saturn, on the retrograde leash, might pause and consider things before it bulldozes them. And Pluto? Be honest: a slightly backwards Pluto sounds a bit safer, doesn’t it?

Having said that: Mercury turns retrograde on Thursday, and joins the aforementioned four planets in backwards motion. This is a reasonably rare situation, and hasn’t been seen in about a decade. On the one hand: did you die a decade ago? No you didn’t, so don’t panic now. On the other hand, Mercury retrograde still comes with the usual warning about your communications and short trips going wonky. More than anything else though, between Thursday and May 10th (when Jupiter turns direct), you may want to put the emphasis on calm introspection. Go ahead, second-guess yourself. The right decision will still be right if you take your time with it.

In tune with all the “proceed with caution” signals out there, Venus enters Taurus on Friday. Whereas Venus in Aries enjoyed nothing better than bursting onto the Battlefield D’Amour in full armor, Bull Venus is much more content to lie around and look good until someone notices. Regardless of your approach to these things, since Venus rules Taurus, between now and May 24th (two days after Mercury Retrograde ends), your Love Game may very well improve if you take the slow and steady approach.

This sets up the conditions for weekend dating, and the outlook is mostly positive. If you prefer fun and fresh and sociable, Friday’s Moon in Aquarius will lend a hand (with an undertone of emotional urgency thanks to Sun square Moon later in the day). If you’re more the soft and sentimental type, Sunday brings Moon in Pisces, with Sun sextile Neptune making the romance and emotions flow freely. As for Saturday? The romantic outlook is still good, but the Moon is Void of Course during the evening, so your efforts are better applied to an existing situation than a new one. In either case, just remember: slow and steady may not always win the race — but it’s a good way to avoid any serious crashes.
