Venus retrogrades on October 5, and
this phenomenon can have a big effect on our love lives. Venus retrogrades
every year and a half, and I always tell clients that during this time, the
‘karma,’ of their relationship often plays out. Retrograde planets often have
to do with events that are ‘fated’ to some extent, or otherwise outside of our
ability to control. During a retrograde period a planet appears to be moving
backward in motion and many things can change, especially in relationships that
are unstable or not fully committed.
A retrograde Venus is not the time
to get married, have plastic surgery, or buy expensive products related to
beauty, or even art as you may not be satisfied when the planet goes direct.
Women driven businesses may see lower sales during this time.
Sometimes during a retrograde you
can re-connect with those from your past, and other relationships may end
during this period. Love energy seems more difficult and with Venus in Scorpio,
which is considered at its detriment the worst qualities can manifest such as
obsession, secretively, revenge, suspicion and mistrust.
Relationships that are tottering on the edge
may end completely at this time. Situations become revealed for what they are.
Other couples however, will reunite or take things to a deeper level.
If you begin a new relationship
during a retrograde Venus the love energy may never be totally expressed. The
relationship could survive for the duration of the retrograde then shift to
another level or end when Venus goes direct. I always liken a retrograde planet
to throwing a wild card into the mix.
Venus retrograde is a process.
The shadow period when we first began to feel the effects of
the retrograde began September 3, when Venus was 25 degrees in Libra. Venus
officially retrogrades on October 5, and goes direct on
November 16. Another shadow period follows where things are not
quite back to normal until December 18.
Venus goes stationary direct
at 25 degrees of Libra November 16. If this is aspecting a personal planet
in your natal chart you may meet a new love during this time, see an increase
in your social life or benefit from some type of Venusian activity: love,
beauty, art or money!
Retrograde Venus can affect not only
romantic relationships, but other relationships and situations as well, along
with money, sex, and other 8th house related activities such as joint finances,
lawsuits, insurance, credit, change and transformation and the way you feel in
relationships.
