What is Venus Retrograde?

Venus represents our ability to connect and attract the right people and resources we need to thrive. In Capricorn, thriving is about achieving your goals, living up to your own responsibilities, and being the expert.

A personal planet, Venus only appears to go in reverse every 18 months for about 6 weeks. That’s only 7% of her entire orbit. \

And as a personal planet, we do feel her retrograde cycle intimately on a personal level in our lives and Work.

When Venus is in retrograde you get to:

• Reexamine relationships
• Reevaluate your money
• Redefine your values
• Reconnect to your community

How can you personalize this Venus Rx to your natal energies?

Look at the house Venus goes through. The house that contains this Venus Rx shows you where in your life and Work you need to reevaluate your relationship to joy and pleasure.

Reignite Your Pleasure

Venus represents our ability to connect and attract the right people and resources we need to thrive. In Leo, thriving is about re-igniting your pleasure, play and joy for ultimate creative power.

And while retrograde in Leo, it’s your call to shift your Venus connection and attraction to your Leo creativity, play, passions and heart to reveal your true value of joy and pleasure that you may have lost.

Venus, a personal planet, you will feel her retrograde cycle intimately on a personal level in your life and Work.

A personal planet, Venus only appears to go in reverse every 18 months for about 6 weeks. That’s only 7% of her entire cycle! The last time Venus was in Rx was in Capricorn, Dec 2021 – Jan 2022.

During a Venus Rx, it’s not a good time to make impulsive luxury purchases or get into a fling. But this is a great time to reestablish a relationship to your passion projects and bring more pleasure into your relationships.

Also, if a break up in values, money or relationships seems to be on the horizon, use this time to reexamine. Hold off on taking concrete action till after the retrograde is over – you may have new realizations when it comes to connections and money.

Re-valuing your powerful investments and co creators
What potent partnerships and investments need to be reviewed?

Venus is now officially in reverse.

Venus Retrograde asks us to realign our values, our connections, and our money. In Capricorn, she’ll make us go back and look at the values, people, and resources we need to build out our goals. Reflect and then go forth.

We get Venus Retrogrades about every 19 months. The last time we hit this style of reversal was in May – July 2020. This time she travels backwards until January 29, 2022.

As a personal planet, we intimately feel, similar to Mercury Rx, her effects – but thankfully with less tech glitches.

When she entered the shadow zone in mid November, what did you notice that needs to be rebuilt in your values, which extends to how you add value, your connections (even though you just rethought this through during the last Mercury Rx) and your money situation.

Your values and relationship ideals are magnified. You see what needs to be reconsidered so now it’s time to dismantle where your partnership and investment powers are not balanced.

Over the next 5 weeks reveal any hidden truths or secrets in your unbalanced partnerships or investments so you can transform it all into something much more potent.

Look at the area in your chart that contains Capricorn 11° – Capricorn 26°, as this is the area that Venus will highlight in your business. If you have natal planets or angles in this area of your chart, they will chime in to express their worth.

Venus goes Retrograde on December 19 and moves direct on January 29, 2022.
