(PART OF UNDERSTANDING RETROGRADE PLANET SERIES)

Venus goes retrograde every 18 months and remains in retro motion for 6 weeks. It’s quite common to find people with Venus retrograde. And the effect will depend on sign placement. Usually, it will affect relationship aspects more than finances.

General traits of Venus Retrograde 

Venus, it’s a planet of love, affection, relationship, and your capability to create friendship too. It’s also naturally connected to career, finances, and reputation in society. Venus is what we value and honor in life, which is usually accumulated from close network circle.

Venus might create turbulence in personal relationships, especially when it comes to romance and connection with the opposite gender. There might be a sense of doubt, fluctuation in emotions, or perhaps uncertainty. The one might regularly ask questions like “Am I really want this relationship? or should I just break up?”. The native will have high expectations, and when the partner fails to fulfill them, he/she will start to doubt the whole connection and might withdraw. Meanwhile, there can be difficulties also to get into a relationship OR to break up. Due to psychological patterns from family (usually female figures) or impressions given by partners.

*Please note that the effect will vary depending on Venus placement, ASC, and your MD, AD, PD. It means that not everyone will feel the same way.

Karmic baggage of Venus Retrograde 

It’s believed that retrograde planets are strongly associated with past life karma. Libra and Taurus placements in your chart along with Venus placement. 

Taurus, it’s naturally connected with finances, family, and what we value in life. You might notice that the principle you follow in life might be changed or adjusted frequently. It can also be an indication that one might face some difficulties in saving, managing resources, connecting with family on a deeper level or it can indicate fluctuation. Perhaps it will let you question your career and source of income, in a sense, you might not feel satisfied after you get into a certain field, OR it might indicate that the native will try to create more than 1 source of income.

Libra, it’s naturally connected with relationships, friendships, business partnerships, and marriage. It’s very important to examine Libra and Venus when it comes to marital stability and spouse. It can manifest unstable relationships, codependency, and sometimes indicates psychological issues with a spouse. Such placement can indicate karmic baggage should be paid towards a partner in the current lifetime, whether it’s good or bad. In a sense, the native will try to create a balance between self vs. others or self vs. spouse needs. On another hand, it might manifest excellent social and communication skills, where the native will be able to connect with a different type of people and different mentalities smartly, in order to achieve his/her financial status or recognition.

Last words and remedies

The question here is “ Why is the one born with Venus retrograde?” Perhaps the lesson here is to learn how to create a balance between your needs, values, and desire; and between what people need and their terms. There is a strong emphasis on relationships and people. Perhaps through turbulence in relationships, we can understand ourselves and realize what we exactly need in a relationship. Most importantly, we understand that we shouldn’t settle for something lower than our worth. We don’t forget that Venus is also connected to learning and knowledge. Perhaps via people, you’ll be able to strengthen your intuitive insight related to the complex psychological patterns of others.

Remedies will depend on your overall chart and the chart of your partner if he/she is able to uplift your Venus condition. Venus retrograde is not a bad placement, it will get better by years and experiences. But what I would suggest here is to focus on meditation and balancing your Heart and Solar Plexus Chakra, especially in relationships. It will be highly recommended to keep Rose Quartz Crystal in your bedroom. It will create harmony and balance in your aura and harmony in your sacred space.
