Venus retrograde 2017

From MARCH 6 to APRIL 15, 2017, the planet Venus will be retrograde. The retrograde motion of the inner planet is an obvious phenomenon when viewed from Earth, in which Venus creates a retrograde motion effect in the sky.

When Venus becomes retrograde, people learn lessons in real evaluation of things and people's actions, values ​​in relationships.
During the retrograde period of Venus, discrimination and disagreements in relationships become more prominent.
Very often alliances collapse due to unfavorable awareness. We must remember that this is a period of evaluation, not direct action.

During this period, it is important not to start new financial relationships, open bank accounts, or transfer large sums, if there is an opportunity to wait. Calculate your costs and benefits carefully.
You need to be especially careful with beauty and rejuvenation procedures.
Women will present many problems during this period.
New love acquaintances will be short-lived, and marriages concluded during this period will break up due to the fault of the female half in the future.

From the point of view of an observer on Earth, any planet in the solar system can move either forward or backward. At the beginning of April 2017, Saturn will go retrograde.

Despite the fact that retrograde is actually only visual effect, it is of great importance in astrology. The fact is that all the functions and energetic properties of the planets can change dramatically when the direction of movement changes.

Positive properties of retrograde Saturn

In 2017, Saturn's retrograde motion will begin on April 5th. It will last until August 26th. From the very beginning you will feel the desire to become someone else. This will be a great time to find a new hobby or additional source of income. Here you can also add spiritual quests: for example, searching for your calling, ways of development and self-realization.

During the retrograde motion of Saturn and its energetic changes, astrologers recommend not getting hung up on moral standards, but also not violating them on purpose. Bypass established rules it will be much more effective. This spring it is easy to resolve legal issues: cunning and intuition will help you win in any legal dispute.

As for the monetary sphere of life, even the little things will be important. Money signs will tell you a way out of the most difficult situation. Purchases from April 5 to August 26, 2017 can not be suspended, but, on the contrary, can be carried out without fear.

Negative Sides of Saturn Retrograde

Problems that began during Saturn retrograde will remain with you for a long time. From April 5th, do not try to take risks and get involved in adventures that could result in ruin for you. Everything bad that happens in love, financial, business and any other area of ​​life will lead to extremely unpleasant consequences in the future. Your failures and their consequences will culminate in late August, when Saturn retrograde prepares to return to normal.

The implementation of the assigned tasks will be very difficult during the period of Saturn's retrograde movement. He will find a way to ruin your plans. It follows that it is better not to plan anything from April 5th. Of course, you can and even need to distribute your time, but you shouldn’t get too carried away and think that everything will be exactly the way you want. Try to act more than think during Saturn retrograde.

Challenges will not stimulate personal development from April 5 to August 26, so just try not to go with the flow, but to work on yourself. Learning ability will also decrease, because information will be absorbed a little worse than usual.

Bypass the rules, forcing yourself to think differently than before. During the retrograde period of Saturn it is better adhere to unpredictability of actions. Don't reveal your plans to other people.

In order for desires to coincide with possibilities, you will have to correctly assess the situation. Before taking decisive steps in any area of ​​life, it is better to think not about what you want or don’t want, but about what you are capable of.

In the sphere of love, the energy of the planet governs harmony, so a difficult period may come in a relationship that can destroy any idyll. It is better to either hide even the smallest betrayal until the last minute or admit it immediately. During Saturn retrograde you need to be able to ask for forgiveness, admit mistakes and be able to forgive loved ones, colleagues, friends.

One way or another, the influence of retrograde Saturn will most affect the business and financial spheres, because the planet will be located in the constellation Sagittarius.

Good luck this spring and summer. Astrologers wish all your desires to come true. To do this, you should start looking for the strength for positive thinking now. Look forward and don't look back. Make journeys into your consciousness carefully, without the hope of finding answers to all questions. Good luck to you, and don't forget to press the buttons and

Retrograde, or backwardness. Indicated by the "R" icon. The word "retrograde" means something is moving backwards. The planet is not moving backwards, but the fact is that when viewed from Earth, it appears as if the planet is slowing down and about to move backwards. It's like two trains moving in parallel. If one goes at a higher speed, then it seems that the second is going backwards.

In astrology, different phases of a planet’s movement are usually denoted by letters: D - for direct (direct) movement, R - for retrograde, SD - when the planet, after stopping, begins direct movement, and SR - when the planet, after stopping, begins backward (retrograde) movement. All planets are retrograde except the Sun and Moon.

If a planet is retrograde, that is, it is moving in an unusual way, then its influence will be less obvious, more hidden and introverted. In some cases this becomes a real blessing, and sometimes it can slow down the process of maturation of the event. The calendar was compiled for the city of Moscow.
