Venus rests every 18 months, so not very often.
Venus retrograde is notoriously disliked, especially among beauty lovers.
Its why communication is so awful during peskyMercury retrograde, which happens at a much higher frequency than Venuss.
Conventional wisdom about Venus retrograde is very one dimensional, says Tali Edut of theAstroTwins.
But I went ahead and kept a Botox appointment I was looking forward to anyway.
The result was honestly the best Botox Ive had in a while.
It left me wondering: Could I ignore conventional Venus retrograde advice, too?
I wouldn’t ever ignore Venus retrograde, Edut says.
If you already have an appointment you cant cancel, prepare as much as you’re able to.
This years retrograde falls in a way that might warrant additional caution when it comes to drastic makeovers.
Each sign rules different parts of the body, and Aries rules the head.
you’ve got the option to have trims and touch ups.
you’re able to keep things fairly the same.
You certainly dont need to abandon any beauty routines completely.
We don’t want you walking around the city looking like a little ragamuffin, Miller adds.
What I’m saying is don’t go from platinum blonde to brunette.
Don’t cut off all your hair.
(If you want, of course.)
Perhaps my Mars retrograde Botox went so well because Ididhave lines when relaxed.
Besides, Id gotten Botox before, so I wasnt doing anything completely new and extreme by my standards.
Not so fast, says Miller.
Venus will still be sleepy right after she goes direct.
I’m looking at probability bars going up and down.
That’s what astrology is.
It’s the science of probability.
I feel that you will like your results if you wait until the end of May.
