Don’t slip away with the Venus retrograde

Retrogrades might be hard to work with, but work with them we still can do.

And the challenges arise from lack of preparation for the cosmic event more than the event itself. We can utilise these times, and wisely. Working smarter not harder. Because that’s what knowing your star chart is, it aligns you to your truth, on your path. A journey different for everyone. 

Where this Venus retrograde is taking place for you, what house in your chart, illuminates the topics that will arise over this time. But also knowing how your natal Venus plays her part in your chart, and how or where the transiting planets have their effect, also weave their way into your fate. Lots to consider.

Consulting with me makes doing this super easy, I break down your chart and show you the best days to be using your energy, and where it should be placed, into monthly or weekly schedules, and even, show how and when to rest and reset, because its all about the balance baby. 

Wether you are navigating many of life’s obstacles, you’re lost in the world of love, weddings and babies, or your career or business need an action plan, where you’re living, relocating and when to move, especially holidays or even for a physical glow up style and appearance can all be navigated by our star charts, and these specific things can really be effected by this Venus retrograde cosmic event. 

Below are some horoscopes for each of the 12 rising signs, to give you an idea of how to spend this Venus retrograde in your life.

These are generic interpretations of this transit and if you resonate with what you read, and need to know more, or if it doesn’t quite fit but you’d like know why, then I am here to shed more light. 

Your other placements may impact your big 3 more than you realise in general or upon a certain transit, all of these implications will be taken into consideration upon your very own consultation

ARIES

This is in your 7th and 8th houses the place of your relationships and shared finances and resources. This could stem from your love based life but also family friends and people you see on the every day, perhaps colleague's or business partners. there could be retreats in offerings and back to the drawing board but this could also be taking place within your living situations, with mars ruling over scorpio, being down in cancer, your 4th house of the heart and home, past and mother. trust the process of this unwind and see the space as potential over parting.

TAURUS

For you this retrograde is in your 6th and 7th houses, and this is the retrograde of your ruler, our planet of love beauty and desire, Venus, so it will be effecting you more than some of the other signs. Particularly in the realm of your relationships, perhaps with significant others, or family, but maybe more so in the world of work, if thats at work, or how your working within your daily life and schedules, and habits. you may be feeling disconnected to ease in these departments, but can use this time to care an nurture where needed to then go forward

GEMINI

This is taking place over your 5th and 6th houses, the places that relate to your lifestyle, work, habits, hobbies, to your creativity, inner child, fun and investments, so to me it looks like quite a nice retrograde, of being able to allow your true passion of creation, with in artistry but also movement like dancing and even writing, lots of form for this vibe to evolve in, but for you its more about where you can make the time for these outlets and balance work and life. Then we have the retrograde of your ruler next in the 6th too, so get ready for that, with my next post soon!

CANCER

Your 4th and 5th houses are the place this Venus retrograde is occupying, the 4th house being a place you understand well, since it is naturally governed over by your sign, a place of the home and heart, but draws upon the past and heritage or lineage, be that of this realm or past lives. But bringing in the creativity, colour and fun of the 5th, this could be about revamping your home, making place for more of your personal things, or the things you feel attached to through your spiritual connection. This also having a part to play here, call upon your inner child for guidance.

LEO

For you we have this Venus retrograde taking place in your 3rd and 4th houses so this could definitely respond to the effects of your close community, or siblings, who with or where you are living, reassessing your daily commute and how attached you are feeling to your home space. there could be some turbulence or upset emotions within the family or siblings that would be good to approach with a Venus like awareness and compassion. healing and nurturing over arguments and recklessness. It is the fire horse year, but to receive the best from life we must balance it.

VIRGO

This Venus retrograde is taking place in your 2nd and 3rd houses and just after the turn from your season. this light you had has opened your eyes to somewhere that your true internal values lie. A look back doesn't hurt, but how we act in the present is when we seem to get more what we deserve. aligning better with the truth over your circumstance than idealism or what ifs. The 3rd ushers in your. current reality, whereabouts and adapting to what you've learned over your season, moving to the 2nd of your ethic and values but also health money and work, how you can act upon this going forward with kindness for yourself and efforts.

LIBRA

For you this is taking place from your 2nd house, of your inherent values in life, the rights and wrongs and where you stand also wth in work and health and what you receive for your output. going then upon your Ascendant, you in mind body and soul. this could be a time where you are reevaluating your identity within life or work on a serious note, but it could also have you feeling like a bit of an appearance change, hair, or style. Venus is your ruler after all, she possesses the ability to hold vanity in good way so if you feel the pull, consider it, for when she goes direct again.

SCORPIO

This Venus retrograde is taking place in your 12th and 1st houses. So it could feel a little bit hard to catch or even somewhat serious, since the 12th house is the world of dreams and illusions, death and rebirth. Venus could be brining you emotional dreams, or hard to escape a slight dread feeling. and perhaps there is some reality to the feels, as the 1st house is very physical. But remember, Venus is love, and she wants to guide you towards the truth of your heart, which isn't always ease of a process, but she will go direct again, so absorb the meaning of all this to put towards shadow work for the future.

SAGITTARIUS

Your 11th and 12th houses are occupied by this Venus retrograde, which means its you aspirations and goals in life, networks and friendships, connections that are taking centre stage, you could be feeling a pull back from others, or a need to nurture bonds that are distancing from you. But going into the 12th calls upon a more clouded place, where you could fall and get caught in your feels of potential restriction, but i would use this transmute and manifest with, trust the process a trait sag can get to grips with well and take time to allow the unravel.

CAPRICORN

This Venus retrograde is taking place in your 10th and 11th houses, the 10th being the place where you know best, your house the home of public image, identity, career, marital status, status in general, its a place of proving worth but through hard work and the 11th is a place of aspirations and friendships but more the kind to create future connections, i would take this time to nurture those, ad i think this will play a part in the manifestation of your role at work or within a relationship, maybe a proposal will be coming your way but now the time to for a little longer, play the game.

AQUARIUS

For you the retrograde of Venus will be occupying your 9th and 10th houses, these places relate to your faith and philosophy, desires to travel far and absorb cultures and knowledge and also your career, public identity and potentially status within your relationships. i can definitely see this pertaining to a reevaluation in the sphere of your career, finding yourself aligning more with a purpose over a status. There could be a need to provide for someone else in this way within work or the parts of life your seen superior in, someone may come for help you you can take the lead.

PISCES

Venus will be retrograding through your 8th and 9th houses, so its seemingly more serious for you, as the 8th is one of the hardest houses to work with, its rather cold and transactional which other signs may navigate better or even well, but your empathetic way, makes for a little dismay. but the blessing here is Jupiter, your ruler sharing a familiar rule over the 9th house naturally, so this is a tether of hope to cling onto, with your faith of coming through. financial and resource implications can come up here but also the potential to part for a pilgrimage, wait it out before making moves.
