One month reflecting? What if those reflections are inclined to bring sorrow with them? Oh no, I can't have this... so depressing.

This bloody falls at a time when I have some major deadlines that could change my life AND I've been considering getting in touch with someone who hurt me - to get closure. I don't have a choice on the first matter, the second matter however.

"If you hear people complaining during a Mercury Retrograde that they messaged the wrong person and lost their mobile phone, during Venus Retrograde listen for outlandish declarations of love and watch for extravagant purchases, made on a whim…" WONDERFUL!

Should we care about a venus retrograde and act on it, or should we ignore it? What do you think?

Yeah, I'm actually writing my 'closure' text to this bloke right now. Better get it over with so it doesn't start hunting me like a ghost when venus goes retro haha.

It's supposed to start 4/3 I think, so in 9 days. We're currently in the 'pre-retrograde' days; and I've just had a week of EXTRA expenditures in fixing up my apartment (things just went WRONG - but they're gonna look amazing in the end 😄)

Come to think of it; should I text that ghost of mine? I've tried to ignore my wish for closure, but my mannerism just wont tolerate this game. It.Is.Not.Who.I.Am.

Hope whatever it makes me, is for the best.

Make it or break it type-o-thing, I will just prepare mentally and to keep this in mind that I have work to do on myself and however it brings me then keep my eye on that goal.

Hopefully..

Hopefully.

hahaha, I love the 'hopefully hopefully'.

It's gonna be great. Very, very great.

"Planet Venus will be moving through Pisces then Aries, retrograding through Aries back to Pisces then going forwards, again in through Pisces and Aries..."

OHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!! 😱

(Because my moon is in 2 degree Aries... not to mentioned that it will square my venus).


ahahahaha... perfect PERFECT!!!

My Venus is in Libra. The last 5 retrogrades have been very good times in my love life. I'm optimistic for this one but as far as love goes, I need a miracle.

I have Venus in Taurus. How will this effect me?

Last Venus retrograde I tried to get a haircut before it went retrograde. It was a couple days before. The haircut was still horrible lol

And I just picked a horrible paint color. I can't return it but they will add white to it for me ?

I was pretty affected during the mercury retrograde (I have a mercury retrograde in my chart though) so I wonder if this venus retrograde will affect me too. There's nothing really going on in my romance life right now though. Except that I just stopped talking to this one guy I was seeing for a bit

Let's see if anything worth noting or out of the ordinary happens for me loll

How were you affected? What happens in mecury retro?

Also, you can't say you ain't got nothing going on in your love life - you just stopped talking with someone.

What if he pulls a ghost and start haunting you :O

One of my fears is if the immature guys from the past find themselves stuck in nostalgia/what-if's and text 'heeey girl, what's new in your life'. It happend before. Then HOPEFULLY I'll go all

There was miscommunication with my one of my close relationships and we were distant from each other. My laptop kept malfunctioning on me (technology problems can occur).

I don't think he's going to haunt me any time soon, he probably wouldn't try talking to me either if I don't.

I'm going to wait and see if any guys from my past come back to see if this venus retrograde actually stirs up drama for me hahaa. I just read a few articles on the venus retrograde, and I just realized that the pre-shadow period started at the end of January, and that was when I started to lose interest and feelings in romantic affairs, and when I started to question my future love life/whether I'll meet that right person. Also a day ago, I had the most vivid dream that me and a guy from my past that I ended things with were dating again and it was just so weird.

That is just scary that is 😉 but then again, who knows - perhaps something good comes from it. Never say never.... but it sounds like your subconsciences has been warming up eh?

Yeah, love just went sour at the end january, and now comes the aftermath. It could be good.

wasn't the last one in 2015??

https://cafeastrology.com/venusretrograde.html

Venus is Retrograde in Virgo from July 25-31, and in Leo from July 31-September 6.

21 Jun 2015 11:53 am 14 Leo 23′ Venus Enters Rx Zone

25 Jul 2015 05:27 am 00 Virgo 46’Rx Venus Stationary Retrograde

06 Sep 2015 04:27 am 14 Leo 23′ Venus Stationary Direct

09 Oct 2015 11:58 am 00 Virgo 46′ Venus Leaves Rx Zone

Venus is retrograde from July 25th to September 6th, 2015. Venus’s shadow period begins June 21st and ends October 9th. Note that the shadow period begins before Venus turns retrograde, when Venus first passes over the degree that Venus later returns to in retrograde motion. The shadow period ends when Venus again passes over the degree at which it first turned retrograde.

As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are times when we re-assess what—and who—we value. It is a period that many astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Major financial undertakings are not advised during this period either. Venus retrograde cycles are good times for creating budgets and financial plans, and for re-thinking our personal relationships. Taking final action in the areas of finance and love, however, is not advised until Venus turns direct again.

I don't think I'll be going back on the guy I dreamed about though, there were just too many red flags and dealbreakers back when we were still seeing each other.

I'm entering a state of reflection on relationships and myself right now, and I don't feel like I want anything to do with guys lol. But at the same time I'm wasting my time on Tinder right now just mindlessly swiping and talking to people, I don't even know why my actions are contradicting my own thoughts ?

I have a taurus moon and my venus is in Gemini. Guess I'll just wait and see what goes down.

The last two Mercury in retrogrades in 2016 were weird because each I had some major miscommunications with two different close friends. Both of them and I worked it out...but man, that sucked.

That's the thing - what does it mean? I'm not quite sure.

Here's my take on it:

Retrograde = going backwards (looking inwards)

Venus = love/feelings/money.

Now, love and money (career/education/wishes/desires) are matters that already mess up the head, and a month prone to extra reflection on these = a mind working overtime. Passive on the outside but active on inside... Passive-active? Then of couse there are those who go active and make possible bad decisions (the season of the ghosts)

There's of course a lot more to it - check out the link in the header.

Personally, I don't have the mental capacity for that shit right now, and I'm forced to make some active choices regarding my future career in that period... so I'm just gonna run into it and see where it takes me, I don't have a choice. No passive-active for me, only active-active and therefore an exhausted head at the end of it.

Mercury is communication right?

Thanks for posting this.

It made me realize that Gem ex decided to break up with me over the last Venus retrograde period.

We had no contact for about one year, but I have seen him (and danced with him) recently. We'll be seeing each other at Salsa for as long as I want to dance. This Venus retrograde goes back towards his Pisces moon.

What shall I expect?

Great... somebody just came into town, but now I'm the runner and thinking about staying indoors until the retrograde has passed -_-

Cut communication from gem w/ scorpio moon, friendship got too messy, lets hope it stays that way

I had a fall out with my best friend who's a virgo about a month or 2 ago. I guess I will wait until the retrograde has passed before attempting to patch things up with her then.

OP Venus Retrograde at its best is meant to be a time of analyzing and learning from your past and current relationship shizz. To overcome and resolve challenges you've faced, truly.

For you, I personally think it means you're supposed to just let go. You're going back to the past because of the retrograde, but that is wrong. The past went wrong for a reason. Don't look back unless fate forces you to face that person against your attempts to run away.

Let go. If anything Venus Retrograde is the perfect time for new beginnings. You can have better than anything you had before.

Good timing, imo.

Venus retrograde 2017 starts on March 4 at 13° Aries and ends on April 15 at 27° Pisces.

Ok. Thanks now how do I know if it affects

our signs?

Go back to the very 1st post in this thread. I tagged you on it. You'll also need your natal chart to see how much Libra & Taurus is in your chart. Seems like people with those placements will be affected more. I'm still learning this stuff.
