Posted by FknNerdI'm mainly referring to couples who were together before VR and broke up during the cycle, before it ended.
What if the relationship was only good during venus retro, and they broke up right after it ended?
Posted by archer333Me. 2 years. Ended during Venus retrograde.
Anyone ever experienced this or have any insight on ? I've read that it's pretty common for exes to come back during venus/mercury retrograde for closure/getting back together etc, but can't seem to find much info on breaking up during a venus retrograde. I know of a lot of people who have suddenly broken up kind of out of the blue this past cycle and am curious as to if the retrograde(s) may have had something to do with it

This happened to me :/ I am a newbie on this site.
At the time it happened, I was not cognizant that it was in the middle of a retrograde.
Backstory: I am a Cancer and he is an Aquarius. We've been together for about 6 years. About 2 or so years ago we broke apart for about 6 months. During the retrograde of '15 (and unaware of it being a retrograde), I contacted him and we have been kosher since. (However, during that time another ex contacted me, we met up for dinner, chatted a bit, then we knew it didn't work. I also dated a guy before contacting him during the retrograde, which didn't work out.)
Beginning in March, he was acting not like himself. He was more withdrawn/quiet than his typical self. Events and whatnot he typically is a part of with work he has decided to withdraw himself as well. At times, I even called him out on it. He said it was work, his kids, etc.
It will be 2 weeks tomorrow since we spoke. With myself being a moody/emotional cancer, I was having a rough week at work. On 4/11/17, he called me from work while I was in the middle of a workout, and he said he'll call me back when he's on the way to his kid's sporting event, but needed to call his buddy first about fixing something at his house. Cool-- no problem. Instead of calling me back he sends me a text an hour later that says "talk to you tomorrow—" I replied with "k. Fine." (I go to bed early for work and the event was going to run late). Already being in a bad mood, this made it worse as all I wanted to do that day was talk to him. The next, and I didn't pick up. He knew I was irritated. He left a voicemail that says "I'll try you tomorrow" and I haven't heard from him since.
I think this is a combination between the Venus and Mercury retrograde. We have bickered in the past, but he has never gone AWOL. He knows sometimes I need a day or so to just chill out with my frustration, and vis-versa-- but he has never just disappeared. We have always talked it out.
I am not sure how this will turn out, but I am heartbroken. Was it wrong for me to not pick up that Wednesday (4/12)? Yes.... but I was expecting his call the next day.
I talked to a few of my friends (guy friends) about this situation, and was told to just wait for him to contact me which he eventually will. I've been reading a few things about break-ups during Venus Retrogrades. A few articles noted that since it happened towards the end of the Venus Retrograde and the break-up was not clean, a reconnection is very possible. I am thinking maybe after the shadow period? My intuition will be that it might be a few years out--just a gut feeling, and for me to not contact him first.
Any insight/suggestions?
Posted by archer333that sounds really sad to be honest 😢 sounds to me like she wants to be with you but something is stopping that.... presumably her insecurities....... can you not pin her down for a chat?Posted by tikihare142

I had pretty much the same thing happen to me lol.
My cancer gf of ~4mos and I broke up on March 21. Everything was wonderful at the start of the retrograde. The beginning of the month she told me she loved me for the first time. It seemed like we just had gotten closer and closer until she just suddenly decided to "let me go". She seemed withdrawn the day of the break up but two days before she was talking about moving in. It really came as a shock. The reason she gave was that she'd been hurt in the past and it still bothered her. I figured she'd met someone else or an ex came back or something so I asked if that was why and she said no, she wasn't in love with anyone else.
So after a week of not speaking to one another I reached out to let her know that I'd always love and care about her and just wanted her to be happy, but I asked if we could still be friends because the break up for me was like losing my best friend. After that we texted constantly for about a week and a half. She even made a fb post about how she "makes bad decisions, is a quitter, and thats why she's single" but I figured if she was talking about our break up then she'd eventually express that to me. A few days later she started saying things here and there to make me jealous on purpose, I would laugh it off each time until eventually she just went cold and never replied to my last text. The last day we spoke was April 9 which is when Mercury retrograde started if I'm not mistaken.
I've noticed she still continues to check up on me via snapchat to see what I'm doing, and we run into each other while out all the time when we rarely did that when we were in a relationship.
This too is the longest time we've gone without speaking to one another. A little over two weeks now. So I'm not sure if its the mercury retrograde or what lol
