Retrograde Venus
Impact of Retrograde Venus on Romantic Life
Retrograde Venus can lead to relationship challenges, misunderstandings, or delays in love. It may cause reflection on values and patterns, but it also offers opportunities for growth and reevaluation of what you truly want in love. Experiences vary based on individual Venus signs and houses.
Relationships have been horrible for me, hence why I choose the single life.

Have you dated a Cancer Venus? I feel like those two would be sensitive to each other.

Yeah, I'm not sure I've ever dated a Scorpio Venus. I can't remember what my Scorpio exes Venus is, I think it might be Sag. I'll go look.

Well, lol, my ex Scorpio has his Venus there with his moon in Pisces. That was the most intense relationship of my entire life. I never want to feel emotions like that ever again. 🤣🤣🤣 it turned very toxic, but I loved that dude so hard I would have done anything for him. 🤫😑

Do you have your Venus rx, as well?

How old are you? How long has it been? Do you feel jaded? Did you have a really bad heart break?
I have Scorpio Venus rx in the 6th house.
Only one of my past relationships could be truly called bad. I've had two long term relationships (9 and 7 years), and several shorter term, so far. I have never been married, but I haven't wanted to be.
I have a few things in my chart that are said to be bad for romantic relationships, like Scorpio Venus rx, and Saturn opposite Venus, but it hasn't been my experience, with the one exception. Perhaps having Venus conjunct Jupiter helps, and other things in my chart, and how I was brought up. Breakups have been very civil, even in my worst relationship. I'm on good terms with all but one of my exes (the ex who qualifies as my worst relationship).

That's pretty awesome!! I bet having Jupiter conjunct definitely helps. My jupiter is trine my Venus , jupiter conjunct my mars.
What is your Sun?
So you haven't had any abuse or cheating? You just fell out of love?

That sounds good too with your Jupiter aspects.
I'm Scorpio Sun. My sun is conjunct my Venus and Jupiter.
No one has cheated on me, that I know of anyway. I am a stickler for honesty in relationships, so my partners if anything are too honest at times, lol. My one bad relationship had emotional abuse, and some of the things that happened in that relationship took a while to recover from.

I never dated in the usual sense. I just ran into someone I found interesting, it was seven years of constant back and forth and then she ghosted me.
I wouldn't say I'm jaded but more of a realist when it comes to it.
Yes, I had a form of bad heart break but it was more of an existential crisis.

Can you explain what the realist in you sees? Maybe that's my issue, I used to get so lost in my hopeless romantic side, now, lol , I'm not that dumb. 🤣🤣🤣

Are you asexual? No moking, legit question
Mostly, yes, but not as an absolute.
Do you masturbate often or...?
No, I can't say it is an absolute because I had a phase where I fucked around a lot.
click to expand
May I ask your moon and mars? Do you feel asexual bc you had to shut it off?
I'm in a weird phase. I miss sex so much but I can't sleep around. Lol I've masturbated so much that I've been sore like if you have sex all day and weekend. Sorry if that's tmi, I just want it to mean something to me

@saggurl88 do you have Venus rx?
Btw I saw your response. I appreciate your feedback and understand it so much more. This is what I love about these boards, when someone lets me ask more questions and I can see it from their pov. Lol this is where our mutable energy confuses folks.

I'm know how romantic and sexual attraction functions and therefore am fully aware of the fact that I don't have what it takes to maintain romantic interest from the other side.
No, I don't want a relationship.

Tbh...I don't really know. Part of me wants it but part of me is also scared that once I have it ...I'll fuck it up somehow. Then to be that vulnerable with someone again and deal with the pain of losing them (it's inevitable for me it seems) whether by break up or death (which was my case with my ex)....it's just all too much....not that I won't survive cause I will but it's almost a why put myself in that situation in the first place. Bleh...it's all complicated lol

I'm not sure how to find that out....
Not interested in dating because I've never met anyone who will make me do that effort really. I can actually come up with a million of excuses in my head as to why I have never dated but the most conclusive is that I'm fairly apathetic about intimacy, schizoid-like even.
My relationships in general are good despite my mental and emotional isolation, I can find areas of relatedness with others and I'm very friendly but I certainly keep things superficial with the exception of a few people in my circle. The only one relationship in my life that can be categorized as fucked up would be the one with my father maybe, we had a complicated dynamic.
Gemini Venus, 2nd house.
My brother has retrograde Virgo Venus in the 2nd house too. He has a solid relationship with someone who he has an 8 yo child with, a tight circle of friends, the family loves him 'cause of his nobleness, etc. No issues in the area. Fucked up relationships? I don't know his whole dating story but I suppose his love life has been like a soap opera, nothing I will call fucked up though, is Disney-tier (good ending included) in comparison with some of the real horror stories I know.

No. I just am forever trying to understand why rx Venus is so hard. Everyone talks about how bad the relationships are and it’s like you guys have your own love language that only you all understand.
Is it better when you guys date each other or is it still hard?
It’s like you all have inner unrequited love all by yourself and for no reason.

I love how well you explain things! So open and forthcoming!! ❤️ Just amazing.
Virgo Venus Rx in 9th house. I agree with what LIMM said, always afraid to get too attached because I know I'll fuck it up somehow. Or I get bored and want out after a long term.
I've been married and had several long term relationships (2+ years), but think that FWB is the best scenario for me. I tend to attract/be attracted to non-emotionally available men. Or men with mom issues, but that's probably my 8th house in Cancer natally.

I think all retro placements think they're doing things wrong, when it's not in actuality. It's almost a form of over compensation, just in case. It sucks to think in this manner, but it seems like you all can't help it, like it's a built in function as a retrograde placement.
The way you explain things is much better then some of these vague one liners, that don't admit or deny anything. That is more frustrating cause people can't get answers or find solutions to make it better.
Venus retrograde in cancer present. I feel like I've gone over this a million times already.
