Watch out, here comes Venus retrograde. The risk of making an ill-advised decision in your love life increases considerably under Venus retrograde.
Romantic connections from the past as well as new ones seem much more enchanting under Venus retrograde, until after the retrograde period when you come to your senses. Another hallmark of Venus retrograde is a reckless, hastily arranged romantic commitment.
As you can see in the bar graph in this blog post, Venus is retrograde from July 25, 2015 to September 6, 2015.
Even though Venus retrograde is merely one indicator and it must be supported by other factors in your unique comprehensive charts to symbolize wretchedness, it’s a sign to be extra cautious in your love life.
Venus retrograde lasts, on average, about 40 days, and it occurs about every 1.5 years.

Aside from romantic interests, some other things the planet Venus pertains to include the following: women; gay men; apparel; the building trades, including design and home building; designers of all types; the arts, including dance and music; jewelry and jewelers; glamour; beauty; pleasure; indulgence; bars and drinking; games and gambling; playboys and playgirls; ladies of the evening; romantic commitments.
I wouldn’t call it a red alert danger period, but it’s worth paying attention to. Exercise a little more caution than usual in your love life during Venus retrograde and be especially wary of former flames that reappear in your life. Also avoid dwelling excessively on “the one that got away.” Go with the flow and follow your heart, but avoid making impulsive romantic promises, certainly those that involve weighty financial commitments.
