Astrologers break down what you’re free to expect for your zodiac sign.

Its so self-love oriented, says Tabourn, referencing thepower of self-datesand being in a good relationship with yourself.

In a way, that means examining our egos.

Avoiding that tendency in favor of genuine self-expression will be part of the work of this transit.

If youre wearing a mask, its time to take it off, says Mesa.

Its one of those rare instances where [a former relationship] could work the second time around.

Typically,beauty changes made during Venus retrogradesarent ones youll appreciate in the future.

Instead, stay the course, and seek solace in the inner beauty youre known to radiate.

But as this retrograde hits, you could be feeling a stronger-than-usual desire for aloneness.

Thats because it occurs in your 12th house, which is the house of exile, says Marquardt.

Just be wary of the shadow side of that solitude, which could include escapist tendencies or unhealthy detachment.

This transit could open your eyes to friendship issues that have long lurked beneath the surface.

The result could have you reassessing the nature of your friendships overall.

Marquardt suggests asking yourself: Am I surrounding myself with people who are actually uplifting or inspiring me?

And if the answer is no, how can you make a change?

alt

Scorpio

Your workplace reputation could be up for review,Scorpio.

This is a very big reassessment of the values you hold around your life path, says Marquardt.

The question you could be grappling with is, Will I leave a legacy that anybody really cares about?

alt

Ultimately, whats most important to remember is that no persons legacy unfolds in isolation.

Sagittarius

As the zodiacs archetypal adventurer, you cant be put into a psychological box,Sagittarius.

Perhaps your favorite colleague leaves your workplace or someone in your support online grid becomes unreachable, he says.

alt

This could prompt the hard feeling of needing to break off on your own now.

Capricorn

To whom or what are you indebted,Capricorn?

And as noted above, Marquardt actually suggests re-engaging to some extent if this does happen to you.

alt

(But in any case, exploring a past relationship during Venus retrograde could offer key lessons.)

So, this is really about accepting and finding some beauty in the chaos.
