Does Venus retrograde really affect relationships?

Venus retrograde lasts about six weeks every 18 months and traditionally prompts a review of love, values and money. People commonly report old partners returning, doubts about a relationship and changes in taste or spending. It is not a ban on love: many couples get engaged during it. The sensible approach is to avoid impulsive commitments, use the time to clarify what you want, and take extra care with communication.
