Venus will station retrograde right at the height of hot girl summer on July 22.
Venus will be in the fiery, heart-centered sign of Leo as she begins her backward descent through the solar system, but how will this energy affect your summer?
Breakups, makeups, drunken calls from your ex, hookups, or possibly even a dry phone and lackluster love life await us all! Scroll down and see what’s in store for your love life based on your rising sign.
Aries rising
Aries, your love life this summer will be nothing but exciting this year, that’s for sure! Venus will move backwards through your house of sex and dating, so an unpredictable summer full of romantic hiccups is on the horizon. It gets a little outrageous, very flirty, a little unpredictable and more than a little chaotic, but be honest with yourself: would you like it any other way?
Taurus rises
Venus will be in your house and family, so not exactly the biggest summer girl vibe, Taurus. However, if you want it hot husband summer, then this may not be the most ideal place for Venus to position itself in the coming months. Since Venus rules not only love, but also material and valuable things, you can expect more than a few household projects to go wrong. Instead of getting mad, try to lighten things up and watch your partner fix the fence with the shirt off, sipping lemonade in the sun. One’s house project is another’s novel!
Gemini rises
Well, hot girl summer isn’t officially canceled, but if there was a theme song for you this year, it would be the iconic Lady Gaga and Beyonce collaboration Telephone, Why? because your phone will explode with texts, missed calls and secrets being shared, Gemini. Venus will be moving backwards through your communication house all summer, so expect more than a few missed connections and verbal blunders in the love department. I suggest you use the ‘unmatch’ button liberally if you don’t want to get overwhelmed!
Cancer is rising
Cancer, your love life won’t be the problem this summer because the real minus will unfortunately be money. Venus not only rules love, she also rules material things and everything we value. This summer, Venus will be moving backwards through your house of money, possessions, and self-esteem, so the lessons you’re likely to face will focus on value, not romantic love.
Leo rises
This will be a brutal transit for any Leo rising, as looking and feeling good is an integral part of your well-being, but with the planet of love and beauty moving backwards through your house of its own, everything is turned upside down! Don’t try to be who you were before, and don’t try to please anyone but yourself, because you will undergo a metamorphosis this summer. You may not feel like a hot girl, but you’ll come out of this better and sexier than ever, so just trust the process!
Virgo rises
Unfortunately, this transit is much more like a hot girl for Virgo rebellions. Venus will move backwards through your house full of secrets, fears, and dreams, which could definitely pull some unwanted exes out of the woodwork, but it’ll probably be deeper than that. This transit is all about reliving past heartbreaks and breaking the habits and cycles that led you to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. Be very gentle with yourself.
Libra rises
As the zodiac’s social butterfly, it’s only fitting that Venus will station retrograde in your home of social groups and communities this summer. On the one hand, this is definitely a shame because some serious drama is bound to take place in your friend groups, Libra. On the other hand, there will definitely be a lot of tea, some good gossip, and at least you won’t be bored! How messy this summer gets depends on how dirty your hands get, so that’s your responsibility, boo!
Scorpio rises
Scorpio, Venus will be in the most public place in your horoscope this summer as she descends through the sign of Leo. The planet of love will be at the top of your horoscope, in the 10th house, meaning the area of your life that will be most affected is your career, legacy and public appearance. Things like social media fall under the domain of this house, so if things get messy this summer, you can’t hide that from your loyal followers!
Sagittarius rises
Lucky Sagittarius rises, the planet of love and beauty will be moonwalking through a very happy house for you this summer! When ‘bad’ transits like Venus retrograde happen in the 9th house, as it will be for you this summer, it tends to neutralize the heavier traits and make even the bad times feel good! For you, this could look like the end of a situation that turns out to be the greatest blessing in disguise, or almost hooking up with your ex before you remember why they are your ex! There are definitely some good lessons coming your way this summer when it comes to love.
Capricorn rises
Yes, this is going to be a complicated summer full of longing and longing for your Capricorn rising! Venus will move backwards through your house of emotional attachments and bonds, so get ready for almost every significant ex from your past to resurface in some way this summer. You like to pretend you’re over it, but some people you’ll never be able to forget, and Capricorns aren’t quitters.
Aquarius rising
This is a challenging summer when it comes to serious partnerships and long-term commitments, Aquarius. It’s a summer of “will they or won’t they?” With Venus in your opposite sign all summer, your close and meaningful relationships will endure all the trials and tribulations. Yes, it will be stressful, but keep in mind that any relationship that is meant to last will always last through a difficult transition like this.
Fish rise
Pisces, Venus will be sweeping through your house of health, habits, and daily activities this summer, so it’s not a big warning sign for love and relationships. Yet love is in the details and that’s exactly where Venus will rule over you this summer! Expect more than a few embarrassing moments in your daily life as Venus slips away in classic retrograde fashion. This may not lead to the most elegant behavior, but it can lead to a pretty good encounter!
