@vivandsook: GEMINI RISING ♊️ | VENUS RETROGRADE 2026 If you keep building habits you know aren't good for you, and you don't really understand why, there might be a good reason you haven't been able to simply stop. Instead of asking: “Why do I keep doing this?” Ask: “What does this do for me in the moment?” Because something can be damaging over five years and still be remarkably effective for five minutes. For Gemini Rising, Venus begins this retrograde in your 6th house of habits, work, health and everyday routines. But Venus also rules your 12th house, suggesting that underneath the visible behaviour there may be a need or motivation that isn't immediately obvious. So rather than simply trying to break the habit, trace it backwards: What triggered it?
What did you do?
What immediate reward did you receive?
What underlying need was that reward meeting? Then watch October 24. Venus reaches the heart of the Sun on exactly the same day Mercury, your chart ruler, stations retrograde. Perhaps you've correctly identified what you're doing, but misunderstood why you're doing it. Then on October 25, Venus retrogrades back into your 5th house of pleasure, creativity and desire. What do you actually enjoy? What restores you? What have you stopped making room for? What did you once love before it became another responsibility? Sometimes the goal isn't simply to remove an unhealthy behaviour. It's to discover a healthier way of meeting the need that behaviour has been trying to satisfy. When Venus returns to your 6th house in December, you can bring that understanding back into everyday life. Don't just break the habit. Trace it backwards until you understand why it survived. Only Love,
