Venus, the planet of love, relationships and beauty, is going direct after a month and half in retrograde motion.<\/p>\n<p>Matters of the heart have been complicated during this time &#8212; feelings were conflicted and nothing seemed to move forward. There was a lot of over-thinking and analyzing and churning and fretting. Do I really want to be with this person? Are they right for me? Do I deserve more?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not speaking of myself, per se. This indecisiveness in love is universal when Venus is retrograde. But now that Venus is going direct, we&#8217;ll be able to see our relationships clearly for what they are so we can decide &#8212; finally &#8212; what to do.<\/p>\n<p>At least I hope so. Limbo is lame. And don&#8217;t forget, Saturn (which was also retrograde from February 7 to June 25) went direct this week, too, and that planet is also a key decision maker.<\/p>\n<p>With serious Saturn and loving Venus both moving direct now, I can&#8217;t help but think that we&#8217;re going to start taking our love lives more seriously &#8212; and if our partners won&#8217;t, we might just call it a day.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I also think of Venus as &#8220;The Planet of Hair,&#8221; so it&#8217;s likely we might also call the hairdresser and get a killer new &#8216;do.
