Venus, the ruler of love, beauty and harmony, is symbolized by the circle of Spirit above the cross of Matter. A person with Venus retrograde acts less in life than reacts to it. He is noticeably different from a person with a directly moving Venus. There is a tendency here to create grievances and wounds inside, working them out internally, which a directly moving Venus would try to work off externally. Often, Venus retrograde not only creates these hurts and wounds, but also tends to exaggerate their effect. Excessive emphasis is placed on the shortcomings of love in an individual's life. For such a person, the path of love does not flow smoothly.
Overly shy, he usually doubts whether people pay attention to him. Not always sure of his likes and dislikes, he experiences a discrepancy between his life and its awareness. He may be deeply in love and not realize it until years after the relationship ends. There is always a difficulty with the opposite sex, since the individual tends to subconsciously pre-program his future relationships so that they fit into the patterns of his past.
This position corresponds to great uncertainty, since the individual constantly tries to be equal to the people with whom his path intersects. But in doing this, he half-consciously continues to alienate others from himself, so that no one will truly know him deeply enough to threaten the little security and reliability on which he has based his identity. In this position, the individual blocks himself from happiness by trying too hard to achieve it.
Venus retrograde - karma
When Venus is retrograde, the individual carries with him a misunderstanding of love in past life. Heartache was so strong that he now cuts himself off from fully experiencing the richness of love because he is afraid of being hurt again. Whether it is a man or a woman, in the current life there is great difficulty in relationships with the opposite sex.Trying to live in the present, he endlessly creates anew the past memory of love in a previous incarnation, which continues to elude him. He reacts to the present as if he were actually living in his past.
In men's charts, this sometimes indicates karma associated with homosexuality. For the latter type of man, life revolves around male buddies. Under the pretext of visiting clubs, associations, etc. he avoids the company of women. He may function respectably in society, but he is still a latent homosexual. Less often we find similar reactions in women with Venus retrograde.The most prominent karmic pattern is that the individual, whether male or female, has a strong tendency to distrust most offers of love, feeling that those who make these offers usually have ulterior motives.
Three phases of a retrograde planet
There is no doubt that retrograde planets create a completely different force field for the individual than planets in direct motion. The general tendency for an individual is that he tries to use his retrograde planets in exactly the same way as he uses his planets in direct motion. And when this does not work, he begins to split himself into various unrelated states, which can end in general suffering.
With planets in direct motion, it is very easy for an individual to shift the emphasis of the planetary energy within himself from moment to moment. However, when he tries to do this with his retrograde planets, he faces a completely different situation. First, at any given time it is going through part of a three-phase retrograde process.
I. Jumps ahead of himself, trying to live in the future now;
II. In the process of experiencing the future, he experiences the feeling that he has already been there;
III. Repeats the first phase in the mind, so that one actually relives the experience of looking ahead into a future that has already happened.
When an individual is in Phase I(jumps ahead of himself, trying to live in the future now), it is almost impossible for him to use a retrograde planet negatively, as he tries to use all his energy to push him forward. In this Phase he radiates energy in order to “magnetize” himself and attract himself to all people and circumstances that will bring about future experiences.
During Phase II(when he actually has the experience) the individual is often unaware of Phase I, where he actually caused it. But he experiences more lived feelings than individuals with a planet in direct motion. In other words, he has a feeling that he has experienced it before, but does not know exactly how, when or why. It is this contradiction that creates a cross vibration where he acts positively and negatively at the same time. One part of him positively radiates the desire to complete the experience, while the other negatively seeks to absorb the understanding of why this experience is repeated endlessly. Naturally, during this phase the individual will be least understood by other people.
Finally, in Phase III When an individual repeats the first phase in his mind, looking into a future that he has already experienced, he falls completely out of time synchronization with the rest of the world, as he tries once again to absorb the circumstances and individuals that will lead him back to his own past. During this phase he is the easiest to understand, but he is too draining of other people's energy as he emits virtually no energy.
Venus retrograde in zodiac signs
Venus retrograde in Aries
Here the individual feels most comfortable in Phase I of the retrograde process, when he lives in anticipation of creating all the feelings that will bring him self-respect. He is very shy and constantly worries about what other people think of him. He may become defensive when he feels that others are putting him in a difficult position. Therefore, he tends to spend a lot of time alone. He is very sensitive to other people's concepts of himself, and if someone's negative self-image might affect him, he quickly runs away in the other direction. One of his difficulties is his tendency to jump to conclusions about his feelings. He imagines his perceptions in advance, and instead of going with the flow, he formulates his attitude towards certain situations before testing them. However, he looks for these situations to check whether his formulations were accurate. Marriage is not an easy task for this individual as general disadvantage trust combined with too much self-involvement prevents him from accepting the full wealth of another individual. The boredom he usually feels is not boredom from life or from another person, but rather from intense boredom from himself. Instead of facing this and understanding it, he often makes great efforts to fill his life with entertainment until he is ultimately convinced that he has nothing to do with his problem. The day he learns to love himself, his whole life will change. He works towards overcoming past karma in which he has established a disconnect between his own feelings and the collective feelings of others. It is the residue of this subtle alienation from people that causes him to run away from himself until he realizes that the entire construction of his positions in relation to himself and others exists only in his mind. Phase I keeps him in karma, but phases II and III show him the way home.
Venus retrograde in Taurus
Here the individual feels most comfortable during phase III of the retrograde process, when he can immerse himself in everything he has acquired in the past. He constantly identifies his sense of security and sense of self-worth with what he has done or absorbed subconsciously from past incarnations, as well as from every previous moment up to the present. In some cases, this individual is karmically tied to a love in a past life that was never fully realized. As a result, the quantity or quality of love in this life never really seems sufficient to fill the empty space left by such past relationships. He is accustomed to a feeling of absolute reliability and will not rest on love in this life, which offers him less. In his younger years he appears to be shy, and in his older years he withdraws into himself, silently begging other people to get him out of it. He wants someone to reach out to him, but he doesn't want to admit it. He tries to quietly attract others to himself, but at the same time he is afraid of them. His biggest problem is that he tries to crystallize certain feelings into initial stage of his life and, as the years and circumstances of experience fly by, desperately tries to apply past feelings to each new situation. When this doesn't work, he begins to subconsciously believe that at least part of the world is passing him by. His expectations of relationships with the opposite sex are unusually unrealistic due to the powerful self-deception that he has held onto for many years. If any individual can silently pick up chip after chip until he is actually carrying an invisible tree, then it is a person with Venus retrograde in Taurus.
Venus retrograde in Gemini
Here the individual spends a lot of time trying to find out what other people think about him. He often changes his likes and dislikes to act in concert with whoever he is with at that moment, because he needs feedback to understand the parts of himself that he believes he likes. As a result, his life becomes more oriented toward acceptance and approval than toward purpose. Due to the mutable qualities of Gemini, this retrograde planet can function during all three phases, but Venus here never fully acquires the personal wealth it is trying to establish. Instead, everything happens on mental levels, and a person's love is ultimately based on ideas and concepts rather than personal feelings. Because of love's ability to constantly re-identify itself according to other people's evaluations, this individual will be less affected by himself than most other people. He tends to focus most of his life on other people's ideas, which he understands least. As a result, his relationships will leave him confused.

Having difficulties with the opposite sex, he looks for reasons within himself to explain the discomfort he feels in their company.The problem is that his mental part (Gemini) has dual masculine qualities, while his feeling part (Venus retrograde) naturally has feminine qualities. Mixing the two creates a cross vibration that leads to insecurity when faced with sexual situations. All human creatures are part male and part female, but the fickle qualities of Gemini, with the influence of the retrograde effect during the formative childhood years, make it difficult for an individual to establish a core sexual identity in which he can firmly believe. However, as he gets older and experiences some of his childhood concepts, he changes his mental constructs and comes to a new understanding of his place in humanity. Ultimately, he views love not as sexual in general, but rather as a universal recognition of one's kinship with humanity. To achieve this, he must overcome the karma of a past life in which he had difficulty identifying the male and female parts in himself. In his current life, he subconsciously tries to satisfy both parts until he realizes that his identity is not based on either of them. Rather, its basis is the interaction of positive and negative energies, which, when mixed, are the source of all creative thinking. I.
Venus retrograde in Cancer
Here the individual is most comfortable in phase III of the retrograde process, when he constantly relives his early childhood role in relationships with his parents. In a man, this can mean a strong “Oedipus complex” in which he never really understood his love for his mother. Its counterpart in women is called the “Electra complex.” In any case, the individual continues to prove that he wants to be his own master, but at the same time does not really know how to free himself from the need for protection that he needed in childhood. He experiences the karma of addiction, and every step into the future brings him closer and closer to the womb that he never wanted to leave. He reconstructs his life with people who represent all of his early childhood conflicts. He doesn't know how to free himself from these conflicts. One of his most big problems is that he constructs his feelings and reactions to people based on past memories. Unfortunately, he becomes trapped in more and more karma every time he does this. In marriage, he projects early feelings for his parents onto his marriage partner. In some cases, he even chooses a partner who reminds him of his parent of the opposite sex. By basing his opinion of himself too much on what his elders think of him, he must learn to work on developing an appreciation of his own worth. All his feelings are based on seeing the world through a “family-like” structure. This provides a protective shell from which he can sneak glances at everything he sees around him. Interestingly enough, he at the same time complains that this shell is holding him back from experiencing everything he would like to. However, his greatest strength comes later in life, when it becomes important to him to give his own children and grandchildren all the security and comfort on which his values were built.
Venus retrograde in Leo
Here the individual is most comfortable during phase I of the retrograde process. Having an unusually strong power complex, he mentally projects himself into everything he does. When he is inspired, he can transfer a lot of power to others, but he is not always sure of their sincerity and tends to silently evaluate them. He sometimes tests Other People to see if they are worthy of his company. As a result, he takes on more than he actually needs. But at the same time, this artificial burden increases his sense of self-respect. By playing the role of a martyr, he may convince himself that he is carrying a cross, giving love that is not appreciated. Himself big problem is that he wants to command and lead, but the retrograde vibration does not always produce in others the effects that he tries too hard to achieve. During Phase I, he can actually intimidate other people with the strength of his directness and forward-looking attitude. Then, feeling the negative reaction he caused, he pulls himself away from the people he wanted to be close to rather than admit that he caused the overreaction. This position of Venus is less harmful to the individual than to those people who sincerely want to associate closely with him and find it difficult. He brings karma with him into this life, which involves him in constant self-demonstration. And the more he puts himself on display, the less he is able to experience the richness of interacting with other people on an equal basis.
Venus retrograde in Virgo
This is one of the most difficult positions for Venus retrograde, as the individual brings with him a very high ideal of love into this life. As a result, he never fully experiences this feeling with the people he is involved with, since none of them live up to his expectations. He subconsciously evaluates the shortcomings that he feels and sees in others. Because of this, he is not only reluctant to experience love, but when he does feel love, he continues to pick it apart until the feelings become just a collection of analytical theories. It remains the longest in phase III of the retrograde process. Here he acts as an introvert out of fear that others will hurt him. In fact, this individual experiences karma. He is forced to understand human weakness, since the perfection of love, although it is the ideal to which we all strive, is not to be counted on as a reality in human conditions. It is in this third phase that the individual questions why none of his past relationships met his needs. And it is precisely this structure of thinking - “making love work” - that keeps the individual from figuring out what the experience of love really is. Due to the retrograde action of the planet, the individual has to evaluate the shortcomings of others, and since he directs the energy inward, he tends to transfer this karma to himself. As a result, he constantly finds flaws in himself and believes that in the eyes of others he should be better. He must learn to see himself clearly and love himself, not from the point of view of all the ideals that have crystallized in his mind, but from the corresponding perspective of the reality of the world in which he lives.
Venus retrograde in Libra
Ruling Venus feels here more home than in any other position. As an individual moves from one retrograde phase to another with the help of the people he meets, he begins to feel more needed. His concept of love is very romantic and depends more on ideas or things that people imagine than on satisfying their own physical tastes and needs. Some people with this placement experiment with homosexuality as their need for love tries to rise above the conventions of social tradition. Subconscious stubbornness and self-will manifest themselves in almost everything that an individual does. He will give to those who did not ask, to serve if no one ordered, he will be obedient if no one demanded. He does not respond well to force, pressure, or demands from others. His natural personality is to calmly seek out other people's needs and be helpful enough to satisfy them. On a very deep level, he is not at all sure of what he really wants for himself. He is in a constant state of change, trying to adjust himself to what seems to satisfy others. Realizing psychological games games that society plays, he may in fact be one of the most skilled players. He will convince himself that some people cannot live without him, when in fact this is a projection of his own need to the contrary. He can be happy satisfying himself with almost anyone who suits his subconscious needs, because he never really connects with others, but simply divides himself in half and then uses another individual as a mirror for that part of himself with which he wants to identify at this moment, makes friends, talks and even makes love - with himself! His karma is rooted in balancing his value system through relationships, and only when he is sure of this will he calm down and truly support the idea he loves most.
Venus retrograde in Scorpio
This is a very difficult position for Venus retrograde, as the Scorpio urge continues to push the individual past his own satisfaction. He never feels satisfied, but rather feels that everything he is looking for is right behind him. next corner or buried in the next well in his mind. Spending a lot of time in Phase I, he seeks future satisfaction, but unfortunately continues to think that he will find his ideal in another person, place or situation, and not in the deepest recesses of his own existence. He is very jealous and secretive in love, and at the same time intensely interested in the personal feelings of other people. Essentially, everything he sees in others makes it difficult for him to experience what he is looking for in himself. He goes through long periods when he believes his frustration is sexual, but it goes much deeper than that. The fact is that in past incarnations he experienced an experience that made him dislike himself on a subconscious level. He feels alienated from the ideals he perceives in himself, and no matter how hard he tries, he is unable to convince himself of his own worth. When this pattern continues, his behavior only reinforces his inner feelings of failure and distances him from everything he truly wants. In some cases, the root of the problem may be a love in a past life on which he relied and in which he was ultimately disappointed. If so, then usually this experience is repeated early in this life. It is difficult for him to feel completely free with the opposite sex, and until he looks into himself, he can come up with many reasons for this. However, on deepest levels he does not allow himself to become vulnerable to others because he has experienced pain in the past. For people with this placement of Venus, it is important to learn to forgive, but the individual must understand that forgiveness is not possible without forgetting. In this position, the individual can function during all three retrograde phases, but his greatest evolution occurs during phase III, when, reappraising all that he has experienced, he can transcend the feelings of the lower karmic levels in his past.
Venus retrograde in Sagittarius
This is a very lonely position for Venus retrograde. The individual values freedom more than the personal intimacy that Venus promises. Here Phase I of the retrograde process is emphasized, so that the individual continues to be mentally transported from one rainbow to another, never remaining long enough in one place to allow Venus to absorb the full vibration of his surroundings. He does not readily accept advice from others. This individual is the most experienced among representatives of other zodiac positions, but at the same time he feels that he is still missing something. This is also a difficult position for a marriage. Often the reason for divorce is too restless nature. It is difficult to satisfy everything that an individual feels he needs, and as a result he often confuses others. He views the world as a giant kaleidoscope with countless offerings to try, and he never likes to get too deeply involved in anything. Quantity life experience becomes more important than quality. As his higher mind wanders the far reaches of the universe, searching for a place where he can feel at home, the individual ignores the bird in the hand, looking for the pie in the sky. His ideals from previous lives are high, and although he may not always live up to them, he continues to seek out people, places, and circumstances that make him feel closer to those past idealistic experiences. He usually feels his own worth, has a fairly strong ego and keeps it healthy despite being immersed in what life has to offer. Although this position is difficult for long-term intimate relationships, it gives the individual an unusually vivid scope of life experience. In past incarnations, he learned to develop a natural sense of the world around him, which he now relies on much more than the words of teachers.
Venus retrograde in Capricorn
In this position, Venus usually indicates marriage with an older partner or with an individual symbolizing authority from the past. Sometimes the marriage partner recalls limitations imposed in childhood, and at other times it brings forward limitations placed on the individual in a past life. The most comfortable period for the individual is phase III, in which the previous times are repeated. They represent security and confidence when the individual seeks to re-experience a protective relationship. This is a collector of antiques or something memorable from previous historical times, or even people, which symbolizes his need to bring something to its necessary completion. His life is filled with all kinds of forms, since everything that he feels, he wants to crystallize within himself in order to satisfy the feeling of reliability. He may seem mature for his age in his youth, but at the same time he always internally protests against all restrictions on his freedom. He holds on to thoughts, ideas and feelings (including negative ones) for many years and tends to deny himself pleasure or happiness during the first half of life, hoping for some greater prospect at another time. However, as he gets older, he begins to realize how much he tried to recreate his past and how much it bound him. Then he changes radically and becomes more practical in terms of his own needs. All this time he feels out of tune with people his age. In essence, he lives his life in reverse, experiencing the burdens of old age at a young age and the freedom of youth at an old age. This position of Venus is one of the horoscope indicators of family karma. The discrepancy comes from the past incarnation and is repeated during the younger years in this life - the individual spends most of his time running away from himself, and then about halfway through life, when he realizes this, he tries to compensate for everything he has missed.
Venus retrograde in Aquarius
This is where the individual feels most comfortable during Phase I of the retrograde process. He can explore the needs that he senses glimpses of before they become real in his life. At times he can become commanding and overbearing in his desire to help others, sometimes unintentionally getting in their way. He is very independent and does not easily accept restrictions. His attachments are distributed among so many things, people and circumstances that those close to him cannot focus their energy. Much of this scattering, however, is simply a reflection of his highly volatile nature. He tends to be overly sensitive to his surroundings and must change his approach to life in order to feel balanced.

He can be a rebel, loves his freedom, does not tolerate people imposing their will on him. At the same time, he feels that he knows what is best for others. Thus, there appears to be a lack of perspective in his personal relationships. He has an insatiable interest in almost everything and tends to come into contact with some very strange people. Everything conventional and traditional is too boring for him to focus any lasting attention on it, but he needs a feeling of reliability and confidence. He is actually not very confident in himself and would not want others to know about it. During Phase I, he actively explores the unknown, while during Phase III, he re-explores unknown or little-used bits of knowledge from the past. It is during the third phase that many people with this Venus retrograde position enjoy researching ancient civilizations or little-known documents from other periods in history.
For many, this position brings great interest in astrology and esoteric subjects. If you remove all the artificial layers of an individual's life, he is a very lonely person. His selfless need to help other people is really the mask of his attempts to earn his way back into humanity, which in another incarnation for some reason rejected him. Thus, he never expects complete intimacy for any large period of time, but he is simply pleased to know that his beliefs and ideas are now accepted. And he will try his best just to earn that acceptance.
Venus retrograde in Pisces
Here the individual spends most of his time in phase III of the retrograde process, when he re-engages in the dream of love that has passed by. He is very lonely and silently feels that he is separated from the tangible reality to which he strives. In past incarnations he was very romantic and now continues to pull himself back into past fantasies. This person is unconventional, considers himself independent as long as he has someone to rely on. Much of what he experiences is a re-enactment of fairy tales with which he, being extremely impressionable, was identified as a child. But in fact, he begins to see this no earlier than mid-life. It is difficult to establish contact with this person, since his illusions prevent him from seeing himself. Every time his mirror is about to shatter, he creates new fantasies to free himself as much as possible from the restrictions he feels in his current reality. He does not feel comfortable in this incarnation, but does not want to realize that he himself chose the circumstances that surround him. It is easier for him to believe that life carried him along, at times even against his will. He is afraid of being at the mercy of people or circumstances that may at some point in the future make demands on him. Subconsciously he feels that he may not be able to meet these demands. So this is another reason to avoid your true inner feelings. This position of retrograde Venus tends towards masochism. Many situations are created in which the cosmic “I” is punished and at the same time the lower personal “I” is saddened.
How more people allows past illusions to enter into his present feelings, the more he separates himself from whatever present feelings he says he wants to experience. In relationships with other people, he tends to go into the dull fog of Pisces, which he surrounds himself with as a buffer against the present. This is one of the most difficult positions for personal love. Essentially, a person must work his way through the karma of raising his expectations from the personal plane of the lower self and at that point begin to experience the Divine attunement on which he can base his reality. Many individuals with this placement have experienced the loss of personal love in a past incarnation. Now in this life, they subconsciously continue to look for aspects of this love in every person they meet, until one day they realize that their Soul has decided to transform itself, regardless of selfish needs. As a result, in this position, during phase III of the retrograde process, the person feels sadness, which turns into active giving to humanity when the individual selflessly “switches” to phase I.
Venus retrograde in the houses of the natal chart
Venus retrograde in the first house
This individual needs a lot of attention, but never feels completely satisfied. He is preoccupied with how he appears to others and is very self-centered, since feelings of self-love rise much higher on the conscious than on the subconscious level. While constantly seeking more attention, this individual experiences conflicting feelings about himself. Although he thinks of himself as a creature of love, he does not seem to understand how much love should be given to others. He gives too much or not enough. In general, the “amount of love” that he experiences when giving or receiving does not correspond to the situation. He wants to be allowed to live his own life, but he clings too much to others for fear of being alone. This conflict can cause numerous problems in relationships as well as in marriage. In his love experiences he goes through a three-phase retrograde process which continues to emphasize the positive or negative nature more according to the pattern of the phase he is in than to whether his reactions to the circumstances of his relationships with other people are justified. He will not necessarily be a giver in love, but can absorb a lot of love from others. He needs this for self-confidence. This position is most difficult during Phase II of the retrograde process - the need for harmony combined with the expression of unity within the first house cannot tolerate cross vibration for a long period of time. A person feels most at home in phase I, when expectations are raised to top level. Even in this phase, when he tries to emphasize his Venus positively to lead him into the future, he nevertheless experiences the naturally negative magnetic quality of Venus due to which he expects to be the recipient of love. The key to happiness in this position is based on realistic self-acceptance.
Venus retrograde in the second house
Here the individual is most comfortable during phase III, when Venus's characteristic absorption of rays recreates past experiences that offer the individual a sense of security. He is an extraordinary owner in relation to all past value systems. He loves to absorb the universe around him, as this again gives him the confidence and reliability that he is so used to feeling. He can be extremely materialistic, while trying to re-establish and strengthen all past feelings of self-worth. Having a strong tendency to repeat everything he loves, he becomes the creature of many habits. His need for reassurance on both a physical and material level is very great, so it is difficult for him to be too generous without feeling like he is losing something in the process. In this situation, the individual tries to contain within himself everything that he values in the universe. In many cases, this increases the normal ownership of a second home. For all its reliability needs, it is not very competitive, since this position is characterized by a certain amount of laziness. The individual will experience difficulties with the opposite sex as a result of his possessive feelings or out of fear of becoming the property of another. He takes care of his affections, although internally he exaggerates his feelings. He likes to do things his own way. He may become angry if he feels that others are interfering with his ways of doing things. Many people with this placement become great craftsmen, but will always create something from the past. If an individual decides to make a living by creating elegant chariots in the twenty-first century, he will be a person with Venus retrograde in the second house. Here the individual experiences the karma of attachment to the love and comfort of a past life. This applies to people, objects and circumstances. In the present life his confidence and security are based on the continuity of form and matter.
Venus retrograde in the third house
This is a very difficult position for Venus, as the unpredictability of Gemini constantly throws the individual from one retrograde phase to another. The person seems to be out of sync in most of his relationships. His love is too much or too little compared to what he received from another individual. His love may be contrary to the time dimension: he may experience great love for an individual when he is just preparing to be with him, a rather low vibration during actual personal contact. Highest degree he achieves love when he has already parted with this person - looking back and restoring him in memory. Thus, the individual experiences great problems in his love life and in relationships with other people, trying to live “here and now.” Forces outside of him are constantly acting on this retrograde Venus, creating conditions for which he is not yet ready or feels that they have already passed. Finding himself in such conditions in life, he tries to reconcile his feelings and mental activity. As a result, he spends a lot of time analyzing everything he feels. This is a bad position for marriage, as the mutable qualities of the third house continue to push the individual out of agreement with his own feelings. A person does not always mean what he says. He is more interested in the feelings he creates in the listener. He is essentially insecure, especially around people his own age. Very often, in order to feel accepted, he will say or do things that he knows are not his own, but that will give him the social acceptance and approval that he craves. His karma is connected with the feelings of people, as he tries to find ways to satisfy others as well as himself. This position of Venus is characterized by a large share of karmic loneliness. This individual may feel alone in a crowd.
Venus retrograde in the fourth house
 |
| and impressionism |
Venus is well placed in the fourth house, enjoying a fair amount of comfort during all three retrograde phases. Although the last two phases may cause the individual to be somewhat introverted, this does not cause him too much discomfort. It's good if there is a person of the opposite sex nearby to lean against - his concept of love always includes a certain degree of parental protection, which, although he may resent it externally, he really needs internally. He is spontaneous, like a child, and constantly recaptures the kind of love he experienced in his early years. This individual never completely outgrows his love and affection for the parent of the opposite sex. So he keeps trying to get back into the fold. He sometimes experiences fear of people, and as a result, he finds it more difficult to express his tendencies to the outside world than to close people whom he has known for a long period of time. It is difficult for him to understand strangers, because from the point of view of love, he views his world as one giant family - his own! He often feels obligated to treat other people in a outside world as if they were truly his own family. This is done subconsciously, but it places a burden on him to limit the number of people and external situations in which he can feel comfortable. He makes his way through karma. According to it, he continues to repeat the experience of the beginning of love until he has enough confidence to believe that thanks to this he has the protection and security that he needed to be able to express it to the outside world.
Venus retrograde in the fifth house
Here the individual is most comfortable during phase I of the retrograde process. He usually has a very strong ego, which expresses itself through the creative process. As a result, he can sometimes overwhelm people with the enormous inner confidence he seems to possess. But this is actually not the case, since the combination of planet and house gives acting ability, which a person shows in the presence of other people to hide his shyness. He tends to project his feelings onto other people because he cannot bear rejection. However, he may reject other people when he feels that they are going to reject him. He rationalizes his decision by saying that they do not meet his standards. In some cases he is internally proud of himself, and others must strengthen this pride before he allows them into his circle. He will struggle to maintain his self-esteem and may often deny himself full enjoyment of life in an attempt to be worthy of the image he has created for himself. He feels in the best possible way when he can help others whom he views as less capable than himself. Thus, some people with this planetary position may receive great fun, teaching self-expression to children with developmental delays or other individuals suffering from physical disabilities. One of the biggest difficulties with this placement of Venus is that the individual is constantly disappointed because his expectations are too unrealistic. He is unable to find the perfect person who can satisfy everything he thinks he needs. Thus, the main direction of his work is to fulfill the karmic lesson of satisfaction. He can grow significantly internally by realizing that his life is less dependent on other people than he believes. The dissatisfaction he feels in others is always the dissatisfaction he has created in himself. When he learns to expect less from life, he will realize the joy he seeks.
Venus retrograde in the sixth house
This is a very precarious position for sensitive Venus, since the individual always feels a sense of duty that constrains him. A person often experiences disappointment in relationships, especially in work-related areas. Although all retrograde phases are difficult, the individual feels more secure in the third phase, when he withdraws into himself, restrains his feelings and tries to explain everything that he is and what he thinks he should be to others. This saddens him internally and prevents him from functioning at his best. He should beware of extremes in his feelings, since subconsciously he believes that the world is a place of decay and disorder. He withdraws from other people because he doesn't quite understand how to deal with the imperfections he sees in them. One of his biggest problems is that he can allow his feelings to become computerized. He does this by pre-programming his relationships in order to calculate in advance how they will work. His approach to people is mechanical. He views every thought and action of another person as part of many moves in his planned chess game life. He may do favors for others, but he will only be satisfied if he knows that the debts will be repaid. Unfortunately, he tends to judge other people by what they do, measuring their actions and actions against his ideals. Thus, he lives by a double standard, not fully realizing that the ideals of all the people he knows may be as high as his own, and that their failure to live up to those ideals in his presence is a reflection of his own human weaknesses. He uses most of his energy by purifying and suppressing many of his needs. From this limited vantage point he deals with the karma of trying to create perfection in his environment. He must learn that the world is already perfect and that he cannot improve it. Somewhere between his perfect idealism and the unacknowledged needs of other people lies the balance that will bring him happiness.
Venus retrograde in the seventh house
This is one of the more unique positions for Venus retrograde. As the ruler of the seventh house, it can be very beneficial if the individual uses it to see the true reflection of himself in the eyes of those he loves. However, if he struggles with the fact that many of his ideas, thoughts and feelings seem to be rejected, and does not understand the reasons for this, then he may actually cause instability in the entire horoscope. His moods and feelings are controlled by the world around him; there is no boundary between the feelings that come from him and the feelings that he absorbs from others. As he slides from one retrograde phase to another, he takes on various identities, each directed towards himself, but none truly at his center. He is well aware that he can actually be “turned inside out,” losing his spontaneity, striving for others to think better about him. Essentially he is a supporter of extreme views. Within one day, he can completely “switch gears” to deliberately wanting to displease others. His feelings are like a pendulum, swinging from side to side with the wind of other people's feelings, always passing the center, but rarely stopping there. He is never quite sure of how he appears to other people. Extremely sensitive to his external environment, he first mixes with it, gets lost in it, and then runs away from it to recover. However, he does not like to do things alone and feels frustrated because he wants to know himself, but does not want to be completely separated from others. He experiences karma by recognizing the unbalanced parts of himself through how others see him.
Venus retrograde in the eighth house
Here the individual spends a lot of time in Phase I of the retrograde process, when the passionate nature intensifies the need to achieve future satisfaction now. He feels a great inner intensity that is not easily released. Emotions of love are often associated with past anger and resentment directed at some individual or experience that brought back painful memories. He is extremely sensitive and does not like to be looked at by others. His ideals are very high, but if an individual is unable to realize his dream in real life, his actions may run in the opposite direction. In sex, it fluctuates from periods of intense need to periods of complete lack of interest. His sexual stimulus is associated with a strong desire for possession. At times, he may secretly be jealous of others who seem to have more than him. He hides from his own feelings, not wanting to face the wall that he puts between his outer and inner life. With this position of Venus, a person is very impatient and irritable, as he experiences the depth of his own needs and at the same time feels the influence of the needs of other people. This brings conflict between the manner in which he treats society and how he truly feels. Often with this position of Venus, there is great resentment and resentment in a person’s life, as he feels deceived or deprived of much that he believes rightfully belongs to him. He struggles with many things and is jealous that other people can achieve the same goals with less effort. With this position of Venus, a person experiences a feeling of isolation from the world. He still has a past lost love in his soul. As a result, the individual finds it difficult to fully trust the people he meets in his current life because he subconsciously sees in each of them a symbolic part of the love that he was deprived of in the past.
Venus retrograde in the ninth house
Here the individual experiences a great need for personal freedom. He does not allow others to hinder him or crowd his space. For some people this position manifests itself in a great love for spiritual life. Isolated from intense subjective qualities public relations, he seeks peace within himself through his ability to stay out of the thick of things. This may manifest itself as a desire to retire to a monastery, climb mountains, or walk barefoot through the forest. Here the need for a sense of the enormity of life is great, and the individual often sacrifices intimacy with other people to satisfy this need. He is very independent and does not like to be stuck into the mold of other people's desires. At the same time, this is a very difficult position for marriage or any other long-term relationship, since in the ninth house the personal qualities of Venus are transferred to a “more cosmic” reality. Thus, an individual's sense of self-identity is of a different quality than that of most other people he encounters. Because he sees the ebb and flow of the general flow of life, he does not like to create permanent connections. He does many things without outside help. Numerous meetings await him with various people, most of whom, apparently, represent a philosophy completely alien to the ideas on which he was brought up. He seems to be difficult to understand, since the motives behind his ideas are unusual and different from those that motivate his contemporaries. This person may actually achieve a rare degree of calm in the midst of a world of chaos. At the same time, he cannot easily convey this to other people. In some cases, as a result of a past incarnation

Venus retrograde in the tenth house
Here the individual spends a lot of time in phase III of the retrograde process. He loves to look back on the fulfillment of his aspirations and needs in life to know that he is accepted by those whom he previously looked up to. He likes social approval, but he doesn't like to seek it. Thus, he finds it difficult to express himself creatively outwardly, as he expects that others may reject him. He may become overly conscientious of others and, as a result, very sensitive in social situations. Capable of internally absorbing the feelings of others, he often feels responsible for meeting the needs of those around him. This makes him feel less comfortable in social situations. He appears to be shy and sometimes backs away from where he wants to go most. He feels responsibility from the past and is not sure that he is capable of being worthy of it. In a man's horoscope this may cause difficulties with women as a result of being dominated by an adult woman early in his life. Usually this position of Venus gives great creativity, already developed in past incarnations, but the individual must now develop self-confidence if he is to express them. Karmically, he goes through life trying to gather feelings that will give him the sense of purpose that he needs. Once he can do this, he will be able to express the meaning in his life that he has been searching for.
Venus retrograde in the eleventh house
This is one of the most difficult positions for Venus retrograde, as it distracts from the creative process. The individual rarely experiences a feeling of calm. Venus's tolerance is broken by eternal passive curiosity during phase I of the retrograde process. A person strives for satisfaction in many various directions simultaneously. Sometimes the sense of reality is so unique that the individual is almost completely disconnected from his identity on the earthly level. He wants to try everything, but doesn't know why. At times he becomes so possessed by his thoughts that the dishonest greed he sees in others on the material level is a reflection of what he himself does mentally. He must learn to understand his thoughts, because although each new whim and fantasy that attracts him is beautiful in itself, their mixture can be so inharmonious that a person will feel uncomfortable. His personal rejection ultimately causes him to become more distant. While he explores the many realms and possibilities of thought in the universe, he does not always know how to combine them together in his personal life. However, he can help other people more than he can help himself. One of his greatest difficulties is that his secret desire to experience his own experiences keeps him aloof from the rest of humanity that he loves so dearly. Some people with this placement of Venus go through strange sexual experiences, as the need for exploration always pulls them beyond the norms of society. In past incarnations he experienced many different things that attracted him. Now he began to constantly look for something that he had not yet experienced. His dreams may be unrealistic, but his character is such that the restrictions of traditional society cannot contain him. His future is entirely based on how much he holds on to his past fantasies.
Venus retrograde in the twelfth house
Here the individual is delayed in phase III of the retrograde process. During this phase, he does not express feelings openly if he thinks they might be rejected. Often a person is attached to a love from a past life that was not broken, and while living every day in his future, he continues to try to restore his past. He may be happy when he is alone, but he does not like feeling abandoned by others. At the slightest hint of rejection, he feels sorry for himself for a long time, since he almost instinctively knows that he entered this incarnation, leaving true love behind. Essentially, he tries to satisfy himself by finding symbolic aspects of this love in all the people he meets, but for all his emotional energy, he still clings to the romantic concepts of a bygone time.

Thus, it is difficult for him to be completely satisfied with the experience of his current life, since he views everything he perceives through the colored glasses of preconceived concepts. He goes through life with silent pain and does not like others to make demands of him. Usually, with this position of Venus, a person has many hidden emotions. Other people rarely see this, but the person is almost constantly aware of this part of himself that continues to refuse to enter the current life. He can be a creator if he is not forced. He spends a lot of time alone with himself, actually gaining strength by subconsciously going through the memories of past moments when he was truly at peace with himself. He is a seeker not so much of external popularity as of internal satisfaction. With this position of Venus, a secret love affair is sometimes possible, with the help of which the individual tries to maintain in the present the illusion of what was reality in his past. Emotionally tied to time, he allows many of life's opportunities to pass him by. He will achieve happiness when he realizes that he is not actually losing the past by living in the present.
The material contains excerpts from the book “Retrograde Planets and Reincarnation” by Martin Shulman.Venus, the ruler of love, beauty and harmony, is symbolized by the circle of Spirit above the cross of Matter. A person with Venus retrograde acts less in life than reacts to it. He is noticeably different from a person with a directly moving Venus. There is a tendency here to create grievances and wounds inside, working them out internally, which a directly moving Venus would try to work off externally. Often, Venus retrograde not only creates these hurts and wounds, but also tends to exaggerate their effect. Excessive emphasis is placed on the shortcomings of love in an individual's life. For such a person, the path of love does not flow smoothly.
Overly shy, he usually doubts whether people pay attention to him. Not always sure of his likes and dislikes, he experiences a discrepancy between his life and its awareness. He may be deeply in love and not realize it until years after the relationship ends. There is always a difficulty with the opposite sex, since the individual tends to subconsciously pre-program his future relationships so that they fit into the patterns of his past.
This position corresponds to great uncertainty, since the individual constantly tries to be equal to the people with whom his path intersects. But in doing this, he half-consciously continues to alienate others from himself, so that no one will truly know him deeply enough to threaten the little security and reliability on which he has based his identity. In this position, the individual blocks himself from happiness by trying too hard to achieve it.
Venus retrograde - karma
When Venus is retrograde, the individual carries with him a misunderstanding of past life love. The mental pain was so intense that he is now cutting himself off from fully experiencing the richness of love because he is afraid of being hurt again. Whether it is a man or a woman, in the current life there is great difficulty in relationships with the opposite sex.Trying to live in the present, he endlessly creates anew the past memory of love in a previous incarnation, which continues to elude him. He reacts to the present as if he were actually living in his past.
In men's charts, this sometimes indicates karma associated with homosexuality. For the latter type of man, life revolves around male buddies. Under the pretext of visiting clubs, associations, etc. he avoids the company of women. He may function respectably in society, but he is still a latent homosexual. Less often we find similar reactions in women with Venus retrograde.The most prominent karmic pattern is that the individual, whether male or female, has a strong tendency to distrust most offers of love, feeling that those who make these offers usually have ulterior motives.
Three phases of a retrograde planet
There is no doubt that retrograde planets create a completely different force field for the individual than planets in direct motion. The general tendency for an individual is that he tries to use his retrograde planets in exactly the same way as he uses his planets in direct motion. And when this does not work, he begins to split himself into various unrelated states, which can end in general suffering.
With planets in direct motion, it is very easy for an individual to shift the emphasis of the planetary energy within himself from moment to moment. However, when he tries to do this with his retrograde planets, he faces a completely different situation. First, at any given time it is going through part of a three-phase retrograde process.
I. Jumps ahead of himself, trying to live in the future now;
II. In the process of experiencing the future, he experiences the feeling that he has already been there;
III. Repeats the first phase in the mind, so that one actually relives the experience of looking ahead into a future that has already happened.
When an individual is in Phase I(jumps ahead of himself, trying to live in the future now), it is almost impossible for him to use a retrograde planet negatively, as he tries to use all his energy to push him forward. In this Phase he radiates energy in order to “magnetize” himself and attract himself to all people and circumstances that will bring about future experiences.
During Phase II(when he actually has the experience) the individual is often unaware of Phase I, where he actually caused it. But he experiences more lived feelings than individuals with a planet in direct motion. In other words, he has a feeling that he has experienced it before, but does not know exactly how, when or why. It is this contradiction that creates a cross vibration where he acts positively and negatively at the same time. One part of him positively radiates the desire to complete the experience, while the other negatively seeks to absorb the understanding of why this experience is repeated endlessly. Naturally, during this phase the individual will be least understood by other people.
Finally, in Phase III When an individual repeats the first phase in his mind, looking into a future that he has already experienced, he falls completely out of time synchronization with the rest of the world, as he tries once again to absorb the circumstances and individuals that will lead him back to his own past. During this phase he is the easiest to understand, but he is too draining of other people's energy as he emits virtually no energy.
Venus retrograde in zodiac signs
Venus retrograde in Aries
Here the individual feels most comfortable in Phase I of the retrograde process, when he lives in anticipation of creating all the feelings that will bring him self-respect. He is very shy and constantly worries about what other people think of him. He may become defensive when he feels that others are putting him in a difficult position. Therefore, he tends to spend a lot of time alone. He is very sensitive to other people's concepts of himself, and if someone's negative self-image might affect him, he quickly runs away in the other direction. One of his difficulties is his tendency to jump to conclusions about his feelings. He imagines his perceptions in advance, and instead of going with the flow, he formulates his attitude towards certain situations before he experiences them. However, he looks for these situations to check whether his formulations were accurate. Marriage is not an easy task for this individual, as a general lack of trust coupled with too much self-involvement prevents him from accepting the full wealth of another individual. The boredom he usually feels is not boredom from life or from another person, but rather from intense boredom from himself. Instead of facing this and understanding it, he often makes great efforts to fill his life with entertainment until he is ultimately convinced that he has nothing to do with his problem. The day he learns to love himself, his whole life will change. He works towards overcoming past karma in which he has established a disconnect between his own feelings and the collective feelings of others. It is the residue of this subtle alienation from people that causes him to run away from himself until he realizes that the entire construction of his positions in relation to himself and others exists only in his mind. Phase I keeps him in karma, but phases II and III show him the way home.
Venus retrograde in Taurus
Here the individual feels most comfortable during phase III of the retrograde process, when he can immerse himself in everything he has acquired in the past. He constantly identifies his sense of security and sense of self-worth with what he has done or absorbed subconsciously from past incarnations, as well as from every previous moment up to the present. In some cases, this individual is karmically tied to a love in a past life that was never fully realized. As a result, the quantity or quality of love in this life never really seems sufficient to fill the empty space left by such past relationships. He is accustomed to a feeling of absolute reliability and will not rest on love in this life, which offers him less. In his younger years he appears to be shy, and in his older years he withdraws into himself, silently begging other people to get him out of it. He wants someone to reach out to him, but he doesn't want to admit it. He tries to quietly attract others to himself, but at the same time he is afraid of them. His biggest problem is that he tries to crystallize certain feelings early in his life and, as the years and circumstances of experience fly by, he desperately tries to apply past feelings to every new situation. When this doesn't work, he begins to subconsciously believe that at least part of the world is passing him by. His expectations of relationships with the opposite sex are unusually unrealistic due to the powerful self-deception that he has held onto for many years. If any individual can silently pick up chip after chip until he is actually carrying an invisible tree, then it is a person with Venus retrograde in Taurus.
Venus retrograde in Gemini
Here the individual spends a lot of time trying to find out what other people think about him. He often changes his likes and dislikes to align himself with whoever he is with because he needs feedback to understand the parts of himself that he believes he likes. As a result, his life becomes more oriented toward acceptance and approval than toward purpose. Due to the mutable qualities of Gemini, this retrograde planet can function during all three phases, but Venus here never fully acquires the personal wealth it is trying to establish. Instead, everything happens on mental levels, and a person's love is ultimately based on ideas and concepts rather than personal feelings. Because of love's ability to constantly re-identify itself according to other people's evaluations, this individual will be less affected by himself than most other people. He tends to focus most of his life on other people's ideas, which he understands least. As a result, his relationships will leave him confused.

Having difficulties with the opposite sex, he looks for reasons within himself to explain the discomfort he feels in their company.The problem is that his mental part (Gemini) has dual masculine qualities, while his feeling part (Venus retrograde) is naturally feminine. Mixing the two creates a cross vibration that leads to insecurity when faced with sexual situations. All human creatures are part male and part female, but the fickle qualities of Gemini, with the influence of the retrograde effect during the formative childhood years, make it difficult for an individual to establish a core sexual identity in which he can firmly believe. However, as he gets older and experiences some of his childhood concepts, he changes his mental constructs and comes to a new understanding of his place in humanity. Ultimately, he views love not as sexual in general, but rather as a universal recognition of one's kinship with humanity. To achieve this, he must overcome the karma of a past life in which he had difficulty identifying the male and female parts in himself. In his current life, he subconsciously tries to satisfy both parts until he realizes that his identity is not based on either of them. Rather, its basis is the interaction of positive and negative energies, which, when mixed, are the source of all creative thinking. I.
Venus retrograde in Cancer
Here the individual is most comfortable in phase III of the retrograde process, when he constantly relives his early childhood role in relationships with his parents. In a man, this can mean a strong “Oedipus complex” in which he never really understood his love for his mother. Its counterpart in women is called the “Electra complex.” In any case, the individual continues to prove that he wants to be his own master, but at the same time does not really know how to free himself from the need for protection that he needed in childhood. He experiences the karma of addiction, and every step into the future brings him closer and closer to the womb that he never wanted to leave. He reconstructs his life with people who represent all of his early childhood conflicts. He doesn't know how to free himself from these conflicts. One of his biggest problems is that he bases his feelings and reactions to people on past memories. Unfortunately, he becomes trapped in more and more karma every time he does this. In marriage, he projects early feelings for his parents onto his marriage partner. In some cases, he even chooses a partner who reminds him of his parent of the opposite sex. By basing his opinion of himself too much on what his elders think of him, he must learn to work on developing an appreciation of his own worth. All his feelings are based on seeing the world through a “family-like” structure. This provides a protective shell from which he can sneak glances at everything he sees around him. Interestingly enough, he at the same time complains that this shell is holding him back from experiencing everything he would like to. However, his greatest strength comes later in life, when it becomes important to him to give his own children and grandchildren all the security and comfort on which his values were built.
Venus retrograde in Leo
Here the individual is most comfortable during phase I of the retrograde process. Having an unusually strong power complex, he mentally projects himself into everything he does. When he is inspired, he can transfer a lot of power to others, but he is not always sure of their sincerity and tends to silently evaluate them. He sometimes tests Other People to see if they are worthy of his company. As a result, he takes on more than he actually needs. But at the same time, this artificial burden increases his sense of self-respect. By playing the role of a martyr, he may convince himself that he is carrying a cross, giving love that is not appreciated. His biggest problem is that he wants to command and lead, but the retrograde vibration does not always produce the effects in others that he tries too hard to achieve. During Phase I, he can actually intimidate other people with the strength of his directness and forward-looking attitude. Then, feeling the negative reaction he caused, he pulls himself away from the people he wanted to be close to rather than admit that he caused the overreaction. This position of Venus is less harmful to the individual than to those people who sincerely want to associate closely with him and find it difficult. He brings karma with him into this life, which involves him in constant self-demonstration. And the more he puts himself on display, the less he is able to experience the richness of interacting with other people on an equal basis.
Venus retrograde in Virgo
This is one of the most difficult positions for Venus retrograde, as the individual brings with him a very high ideal of love into this life. As a result, he never fully experiences this feeling with the people he is involved with, since none of them live up to his expectations. He subconsciously evaluates the shortcomings that he feels and sees in others. Because of this, he is not only reluctant to experience love, but when he does feel love, he continues to pick it apart until the feelings become just a collection of analytical theories. It remains the longest in phase III of the retrograde process. Here he acts as an introvert out of fear that others will hurt him. In fact, this individual experiences karma. He is forced to understand human weakness, since the perfection of love, although it is the ideal to which we all strive, is not to be counted on as a reality in human conditions. It is in this third phase that the individual questions why none of his past relationships met his needs. And it is precisely this structure of thinking - “making love work” - that keeps the individual from figuring out what the experience of love really is. Due to the retrograde action of the planet, the individual has to evaluate the shortcomings of others, and since he directs the energy inward, he tends to transfer this karma to himself. As a result, he constantly finds flaws in himself and believes that in the eyes of others he should be better. He must learn to see himself clearly and love himself, not from the point of view of all the ideals that have crystallized in his mind, but from the corresponding perspective of the reality of the world in which he lives.
Venus retrograde in Libra
Ruling Venus feels more at home here than in any other position. As an individual moves from one retrograde phase to another with the help of the people he meets, he begins to feel more needed. His concept of love is very romantic and depends more on ideas or things that people imagine than on satisfying their own physical tastes and needs. Some people with this placement experiment with homosexuality as their need for love tries to rise above the conventions of social tradition. Subconscious stubbornness and self-will manifest themselves in almost everything that an individual does. He will give to those who did not ask, to serve if no one ordered, he will be obedient if no one demanded. He does not respond well to force, pressure, or demands from others. His natural personality is to calmly seek out other people's needs and be helpful enough to satisfy them. On a very deep level, he is not at all sure of what he really wants for himself. He is in a constant state of change, trying to adjust himself to what seems to satisfy others. By being aware of the psychological games that society plays, he may in fact be one of the most skilled players. He will convince himself that some people cannot live without him, when in fact this is a projection of his own need to the contrary. He can be happy satisfying himself with almost anyone who suits his subconscious needs, because he never really connects with others, but simply divides himself in half and then uses another individual as a mirror for that part of himself with which he wants to identify at this moment, makes friends, talks and even makes love - with himself! His karma is rooted in balancing his value system through relationships, and only when he is sure of this will he calm down and truly support the idea he loves most.
Venus retrograde in Scorpio
This is a very difficult position for Venus retrograde, as the Scorpio urge continues to push the individual past his own satisfaction. He never feels satisfied, but rather feels like everything he is looking for is just around the next corner or buried in the next well in his mind. Spending a lot of time in Phase I, he seeks future satisfaction, but unfortunately continues to think that he will find his ideal in another person, place or situation, and not in the deepest recesses of his own existence. He is very jealous and secretive in love, and at the same time intensely interested in the personal feelings of other people. Essentially, everything he sees in others makes it difficult for him to experience what he is looking for in himself. He goes through long periods when he believes his frustration is sexual, but it goes much deeper than that. The fact is that in past incarnations he experienced an experience that made him dislike himself on a subconscious level. He feels alienated from the ideals he perceives in himself, and no matter how hard he tries, he is unable to convince himself of his own worth. When this pattern continues, his behavior only reinforces his inner feelings of failure and distances him from everything he truly wants. In some cases, the root of the problem may be a love in a past life on which he relied and in which he was ultimately disappointed. If so, then usually this experience is repeated early in this life. It is difficult for him to feel completely free with the opposite sex, and until he looks into himself, he can come up with many reasons for this. However, at the deepest levels, he does not allow himself to become vulnerable to others because he has experienced pain in the past. For people with this placement of Venus, it is important to learn to forgive, but the individual must understand that forgiveness is not possible without forgetting. In this position, the individual can function during all three retrograde phases, but his greatest evolution occurs during phase III, when, reappraising all that he has experienced, he can transcend the feelings of the lower karmic levels in his past.
Venus retrograde in Sagittarius
This is a very lonely position for Venus retrograde. The individual values freedom more than the personal intimacy that Venus promises. Here Phase I of the retrograde process is emphasized, so that the individual continues to be mentally transported from one rainbow to another, never remaining long enough in one place to allow Venus to absorb the full vibration of his surroundings. He does not readily accept advice from others. This individual is the most experienced among representatives of other zodiac positions, but at the same time he feels that he is still missing something. This is also a difficult position for a marriage. Often the reason for divorce is too restless nature. It is difficult to satisfy everything that an individual feels he needs, and as a result he often confuses others. He views the world as a giant kaleidoscope with countless offerings to try, and he never likes to get too deeply involved in anything. The quantity of life experience becomes more important than the quality. As his higher mind wanders the far reaches of the universe, searching for a place where he can feel at home, the individual ignores the bird in the hand, looking for the pie in the sky. His ideals from previous lives are high, and although he may not always live up to them, he continues to seek out people, places, and circumstances that make him feel closer to those past idealistic experiences. He usually feels his own worth, has a fairly strong ego and keeps it healthy despite being immersed in what life has to offer. Although this position is difficult for long-term intimate relationships, it gives the individual an unusually vivid scope of life experience. In past incarnations, he learned to develop a natural sense of the world around him, which he now relies on much more than the words of teachers.
Venus retrograde in Capricorn
In this position, Venus usually indicates marriage with an older partner or with an individual symbolizing authority from the past. Sometimes the marriage partner recalls limitations imposed in childhood, and at other times it brings forward limitations placed on the individual in a past life. The most comfortable period for the individual is phase III, in which the previous times are repeated. They represent security and confidence when the individual seeks to re-experience a protective relationship. This is a collector of antiques or something memorable from previous historical times, or even people, which symbolizes his need to bring something to its necessary completion. His life is filled with all kinds of forms, since everything that he feels, he wants to crystallize within himself in order to satisfy the feeling of reliability. He may seem mature for his age in his youth, but at the same time he always internally protests against all restrictions on his freedom. He holds on to thoughts, ideas and feelings (including negative ones) for many years and tends to deny himself pleasure or happiness during the first half of life, hoping for some greater prospect at another time. However, as he gets older, he begins to realize how much he tried to recreate his past and how much it bound him. Then he changes radically and becomes more practical in terms of his own needs. All this time he feels out of tune with people his age. In essence, he lives his life in reverse, experiencing the burdens of old age at a young age and the freedom of youth at an old age. This position of Venus is one of the horoscope indicators of family karma. The discrepancy comes from the past incarnation and is repeated during the younger years in this life - the individual spends most of his time running away from himself, and then about halfway through life, when he realizes this, he tries to compensate for everything he has missed.
Venus retrograde in Aquarius
This is where the individual feels most comfortable during Phase I of the retrograde process. He can explore the needs that he senses glimpses of before they become real in his life. At times he can become commanding and overbearing in his desire to help others, sometimes unintentionally getting in their way. He is very independent and does not easily accept restrictions. His attachments are distributed among so many things, people and circumstances that those close to him cannot focus their energy. Much of this scattering, however, is simply a reflection of his highly volatile nature. He tends to be overly sensitive to his surroundings and must change his approach to life in order to feel balanced.

He can be a rebel, loves his freedom, does not tolerate people imposing their will on him. At the same time, he feels that he knows what is best for others. Thus, there appears to be a lack of perspective in his personal relationships. He has an insatiable interest in almost everything and tends to come into contact with some very strange people. Everything conventional and traditional is too boring for him to focus any lasting attention on it, but he needs a feeling of reliability and confidence. He is actually not very confident in himself and would not want others to know about it. During Phase I, he actively explores the unknown, while during Phase III, he re-explores unknown or little-used bits of knowledge from the past. It is during the third phase that many people with this Venus retrograde position enjoy researching ancient civilizations or little-known documents from other periods in history.
For many, this position brings great interest in astrology and esoteric subjects. If you remove all the artificial layers of an individual's life, he is a very lonely person. His selfless need to help other people is really the mask of his attempts to earn his way back into humanity, which in another incarnation for some reason rejected him. Thus, he never expects complete intimacy for any large period of time, but he is simply pleased to know that his beliefs and ideas are now accepted. And he will try his best just to earn that acceptance.
Venus retrograde in Pisces
Here the individual spends most of his time in phase III of the retrograde process, when he re-engages in the dream of love that has passed by. He is very lonely and silently feels that he is separated from the tangible reality to which he strives. In past incarnations he was very romantic and now continues to pull himself back into past fantasies. This person is unconventional, considers himself independent as long as he has someone to rely on. Much of what he experiences is a re-enactment of fairy tales with which he, being extremely impressionable, was identified as a child. But in fact, he begins to see this no earlier than mid-life. It is difficult to establish contact with this person, since his illusions prevent him from seeing himself. Every time his mirror is about to shatter, he creates new fantasies to free himself as much as possible from the restrictions he feels in his current reality. He does not feel comfortable in this incarnation, but does not want to realize that he himself chose the circumstances that surround him. It is easier for him to believe that life carried him along, at times even against his will. He is afraid of being at the mercy of people or circumstances that may at some point in the future make demands on him. Subconsciously he feels that he may not be able to meet these demands. So this is another reason to avoid your true inner feelings. This position of retrograde Venus tends towards masochism. Many situations are created in which the cosmic “I” is punished and at the same time the lower personal “I” is saddened.
The more a person allows past illusions to enter into his present feelings, the more he separates himself from whatever present feelings he says he wants to experience. In relationships with other people, he tends to go into the dull fog of Pisces, which he surrounds himself with as a buffer against the present. This is one of the most difficult positions for personal love. Essentially, a person must work his way through the karma of raising his expectations from the personal plane of the lower self and at that point begin to experience the Divine attunement on which he can base his reality. Many individuals with this placement have experienced the loss of personal love in a past incarnation. Now in this life, they subconsciously continue to look for aspects of this love in every person they meet, until one day they realize that their Soul has decided to transform itself, regardless of selfish needs. As a result, in this position, during phase III of the retrograde process, the person feels sadness, which turns into active giving to humanity when the individual selflessly “switches” to phase I.
Venus retrograde in the houses of the natal chart
Venus retrograde in the first house
This individual needs a lot of attention, but never feels completely satisfied. He is preoccupied with how he appears to others and is very self-centered, since feelings of self-love rise much higher on the conscious than on the subconscious level. While constantly seeking more attention, this individual experiences conflicting feelings about himself. Although he thinks of himself as a creature of love, he does not seem to understand how much love should be given to others. He gives too much or not enough. In general, the “amount of love” that he experiences when giving or receiving does not correspond to the situation. He wants to be allowed to live his own life, but he clings too much to others for fear of being alone. This conflict can cause numerous problems in relationships as well as in marriage. In his love experiences he goes through a three-phase retrograde process which continues to emphasize the positive or negative nature more according to the pattern of the phase he is in than to whether his reactions to the circumstances of his relationships with other people are justified. He will not necessarily be a giver in love, but can absorb a lot of love from others. He needs this for self-confidence. This position is most difficult during Phase II of the retrograde process - the need for harmony combined with the expression of unity within the first house cannot tolerate cross vibration for a long period of time. A person feels most at home in Phase I, when expectations are raised to the highest level. Even in this phase, when he tries to emphasize his Venus positively to lead him into the future, he nevertheless experiences the naturally negative magnetic quality of Venus due to which he expects to be the recipient of love. The key to happiness in this position is based on realistic self-acceptance.
Venus retrograde in the second house
Here the individual is most comfortable during phase III, when Venus's characteristic absorption of rays recreates past experiences that offer the individual a sense of security. He is an extraordinary owner in relation to all past value systems. He loves to absorb the universe around him, as this again gives him the confidence and reliability that he is so used to feeling. He can be extremely materialistic, while trying to re-establish and strengthen all past feelings of self-worth. Having a strong tendency to repeat everything he loves, he becomes the creature of many habits. His need for reassurance on both a physical and material level is very great, so it is difficult for him to be too generous without feeling like he is losing something in the process. In this situation, the individual tries to contain within himself everything that he values in the universe. In many cases, this increases the normal ownership of a second home. For all its reliability needs, it is not very competitive, since this position is characterized by a certain amount of laziness. The individual will experience difficulties with the opposite sex as a result of his possessive feelings or out of fear of becoming the property of another. He takes care of his affections, although internally he exaggerates his feelings. He likes to do things his own way. He may become angry if he feels that others are interfering with his ways of doing things. Many people with this placement become great craftsmen, but will always create something from the past. If an individual decides to make a living by creating elegant chariots in the twenty-first century, he will be a person with Venus retrograde in the second house. Here the individual experiences the karma of attachment to the love and comfort of a past life. This applies to people, objects and circumstances. In the present life his confidence and security are based on the continuity of form and matter.
Venus retrograde in the third house
This is a very difficult position for Venus, as the unpredictability of Gemini constantly throws the individual from one retrograde phase to another. The person seems to be out of sync in most of his relationships. His love is too much or too little compared to what he received from another individual. His love may be contrary to the time dimension: he may experience great love for an individual when he is just preparing to be with him, a rather low vibration during actual personal contact. He reaches the highest degree of love when he has already parted with this person - looking back and restoring him in memory. Thus, the individual experiences great problems in his love life and in relationships with other people, trying to live “here and now.” Forces outside of him are constantly acting on this retrograde Venus, creating conditions for which he is not yet ready or feels that they have already passed. Finding himself in such conditions in life, he tries to reconcile his feelings and mental activity. As a result, he spends a lot of time analyzing everything he feels. This is a bad position for marriage, as the mutable qualities of the third house continue to push the individual out of agreement with his own feelings. A person does not always mean what he says. He is more interested in the feelings he creates in the listener. He is essentially insecure, especially around people his own age. Very often, in order to feel accepted, he will say or do things that he knows are not his own, but that will give him the social acceptance and approval that he craves. His karma is connected with the feelings of people, as he tries to find ways to satisfy others as well as himself. This position of Venus is characterized by a large share of karmic loneliness. This individual may feel alone in a crowd.
Venus retrograde in the fourth house
|
| and impressionism |
Venus is well placed in the fourth house, enjoying a fair amount of comfort during all three retrograde phases. Although the last two phases may cause the individual to be somewhat introverted, this does not cause him too much discomfort. It's good if there is a person of the opposite sex nearby to lean against - his concept of love always includes a certain degree of parental protection, which, although he may resent it externally, he really needs internally. He is spontaneous, like a child, and constantly recaptures the kind of love he experienced in his early years. This individual never completely outgrows his love and affection for the parent of the opposite sex. So he keeps trying to get back into the fold. He sometimes experiences fear of people, and as a result, he finds it more difficult to express his tendencies to the outside world than to close people whom he has known for a long period of time. It is difficult for him to understand strangers, because from the point of view of love, he views his world as one giant family - his own! Often he feels obligated to treat other people in the outside world as if they were truly his own family. This is done subconsciously, but it places a burden on him to limit the number of people and external situations in which he can feel comfortable. He makes his way through karma. According to it, he continues to repeat the experience of the beginning of love until he has enough confidence to believe that thanks to this he has the protection and security that he needed to be able to express it to the outside world.
Venus retrograde in the fifth house
Here the individual is most comfortable during phase I of the retrograde process. He usually has a very strong ego, which expresses itself through the creative process. As a result, he can sometimes overwhelm people with the enormous inner confidence he seems to possess. But this is actually not the case, since the combination of planet and house gives acting ability, which a person shows in the presence of other people to hide his shyness. He tends to project his feelings onto other people because he cannot bear rejection. However, he may reject other people when he feels that they are going to reject him. He rationalizes his decision by saying that they do not meet his standards. In some cases he is internally proud of himself, and others must strengthen this pride before he allows them into his circle. He will struggle to maintain his self-esteem and may often deny himself full enjoyment of life in an attempt to be worthy of the image he has created for himself. He feels best when he can help others whom he views as less capable than himself. Thus, some people with this planetary placement may take great pleasure in teaching self-expression to children with developmental delays or other individuals suffering from physical disabilities. One of the biggest difficulties with this placement of Venus is that the individual is constantly disappointed because his expectations are too unrealistic. He is unable to find the perfect person who can satisfy everything he thinks he needs. Thus, the main direction of his work is to fulfill the karmic lesson of satisfaction. He can grow significantly internally by realizing that his life is less dependent on other people than he believes. The dissatisfaction he feels in others is always the dissatisfaction he has created in himself. When he learns to expect less from life, he will realize the joy he seeks.
Venus retrograde in the sixth house
This is a very precarious position for sensitive Venus, since the individual always feels a sense of duty that constrains him. A person often experiences disappointment in relationships, especially in work-related areas. Although all retrograde phases are difficult, the individual feels more secure in the third phase, when he withdraws into himself, restrains his feelings and tries to explain everything that he is and what he thinks he should be to others. This saddens him internally and prevents him from functioning at his best. He should beware of extremes in his feelings, since subconsciously he believes that the world is a place of decay and disorder. He withdraws from other people because he doesn't quite understand how to deal with the imperfections he sees in them. One of his biggest problems is that he can allow his feelings to become computerized. He does this by pre-programming his relationships in order to calculate in advance how they will work. His approach to people is mechanical. He views every thought and action of another person as part of many moves in his planned chess game of life. He may do favors for others, but he will only be satisfied if he knows that the debts will be repaid. Unfortunately, he tends to judge other people by what they do, measuring their actions and actions against his ideals. Thus, he lives by a double standard, not fully realizing that the ideals of all the people he knows may be as high as his own, and that their failure to live up to those ideals in his presence is a reflection of his own human weaknesses. He uses most of his energy by purifying and suppressing many of his needs. From this limited vantage point he deals with the karma of trying to create perfection in his environment. He must learn that the world is already perfect and that he cannot improve it. Somewhere between his perfect idealism and the unacknowledged needs of other people lies the balance that will bring him happiness.
Venus retrograde in the seventh house
This is one of the more unique positions for Venus retrograde. As the ruler of the seventh house, it can be very beneficial if the individual uses it to see the true reflection of himself in the eyes of those he loves. However, if he struggles with the fact that many of his ideas, thoughts and feelings seem to be rejected, and does not understand the reasons for this, then he may actually cause instability in the entire horoscope. His moods and feelings are controlled by the world around him; there is no boundary between the feelings that come from him and the feelings that he absorbs from others. As he slides from one retrograde phase to another, he takes on various identities, each directed towards himself, but none truly at his center. He is well aware that he can actually be “turned inside out,” losing his spontaneity, striving for others to think better about him. Essentially he is a supporter of extreme views. Within one day, he can completely “switch gears” to deliberately wanting to displease others. His feelings are like a pendulum, swinging from side to side with the wind of other people's feelings, always passing the center, but rarely stopping there. He is never quite sure of how he appears to other people. Extremely sensitive to his external environment, he first mixes with it, gets lost in it, and then runs away from it to recover. However, he does not like to do things alone and feels frustrated because he wants to know himself, but does not want to be completely separated from others. He experiences karma by recognizing the unbalanced parts of himself through how others see him.
Venus retrograde in the eighth house
Here the individual spends a lot of time in Phase I of the retrograde process, when the passionate nature intensifies the need to achieve future satisfaction now. He feels a great inner intensity that is not easily released. Emotions of love are often associated with past anger and resentment directed at some individual or experience that brought back painful memories. He is extremely sensitive and does not like to be looked at by others. His ideals are very high, but if an individual is unable to realize his dream in real life, his actions may run in the opposite direction. In sex, it fluctuates from periods of intense need to periods of complete lack of interest. His sexual stimulus is associated with a strong desire for possession. At times, he may secretly be jealous of others who seem to have more than him. He hides from his own feelings, not wanting to face the wall that he puts between his outer and inner life. With this position of Venus, a person is very impatient and irritable, as he experiences the depth of his own needs and at the same time feels the influence of the needs of other people. This brings conflict between the manner in which he treats society and how he truly feels. Often with this position of Venus, there is great resentment and resentment in a person’s life, as he feels deceived or deprived of much that he believes rightfully belongs to him. He struggles with many things and is jealous that other people can achieve the same goals with less effort. With this position of Venus, a person experiences a feeling of isolation from the world. He still has a past lost love in his soul. As a result, the individual finds it difficult to fully trust the people he meets in his current life because he subconsciously sees in each of them a symbolic part of the love that he was deprived of in the past.
Venus retrograde in the ninth house
Here the individual experiences a great need for personal freedom. He does not allow others to hinder him or crowd his space. For some people this position manifests itself in a great love for spiritual life. Isolated from the intense subjective qualities of social relations, he seeks peace within himself through his ability to remain out of the thick of things. This may manifest itself as a desire to retire to a monastery, climb mountains, or walk barefoot through the forest. Here the need for a sense of the enormity of life is great, and the individual often sacrifices intimacy with other people to satisfy this need. He is very independent and does not like to be stuck into the mold of other people's desires. At the same time, this is a very difficult position for marriage or any other long-term relationship, since in the ninth house the personal qualities of Venus are transferred to a “more cosmic” reality. Thus, an individual's sense of self-identity is of a different quality than that of most other people he encounters. Because he sees the ebb and flow of the general flow of life, he does not like to create permanent connections. He does many things without outside help. Numerous meetings await him with various people, most of whom, apparently, represent a philosophy completely alien to the ideas on which he was brought up. He seems to be difficult to understand, since the motives behind his ideas are unusual and different from those that motivate his contemporaries. This person may actually achieve a rare degree of calm in the midst of a world of chaos. At the same time, he cannot easily convey this to other people. In some cases, as a result of a past incarnation

Venus retrograde in the tenth house
Here the individual spends a lot of time in phase III of the retrograde process. He loves to look back on the fulfillment of his aspirations and needs in life to know that he is accepted by those whom he previously looked up to. He likes social approval, but he doesn't like to seek it. Thus, he finds it difficult to express himself creatively outwardly, as he expects that others may reject him. He may become overly conscientious of others and, as a result, very sensitive in social situations. Capable of internally absorbing the feelings of others, he often feels responsible for meeting the needs of those around him. This makes him feel less comfortable in social situations. He appears to be shy and sometimes backs away from where he wants to go most. He feels responsibility from the past and is not sure that he is capable of being worthy of it. In a man's horoscope this may cause difficulties with women as a result of being dominated by an adult woman early in his life. Usually this position of Venus gives great creativity, already developed in past incarnations, but the individual must now develop self-confidence if he is to express them. Karmically, he goes through life trying to gather feelings that will give him the sense of purpose that he needs. Once he can do this, he will be able to express the meaning in his life that he has been searching for.
Venus retrograde in the eleventh house
This is one of the most difficult positions for Venus retrograde, as it distracts from the creative process. The individual rarely experiences a feeling of calm. Venus's tolerance is broken by eternal passive curiosity during phase I of the retrograde process. A person strives for satisfaction in many different directions at the same time. Sometimes the sense of reality is so unique that the individual is almost completely disconnected from his identity on the earthly level. He wants to try everything, but doesn't know why. At times he becomes so possessed by his thoughts that the dishonest greed he sees in others on the material level is a reflection of what he himself does mentally. He must learn to understand his thoughts, because although each new whim and fantasy that attracts him is beautiful in itself, their mixture can be so inharmonious that a person will feel uncomfortable. His personal rejection ultimately causes him to become more distant. While he explores the many realms and possibilities of thought in the universe, he does not always know how to combine them together in his personal life. However, he can help other people more than he can help himself. One of his greatest difficulties is that his secret desire to experience his own experiences keeps him aloof from the rest of humanity that he loves so dearly. Some people with this placement of Venus go through strange sexual experiences, as the need for exploration always pulls them beyond the norms of society. In past incarnations he experienced many different things that attracted him. Now he began to constantly look for something that he had not yet experienced. His dreams may be unrealistic, but his character is such that the restrictions of traditional society cannot contain him. His future is entirely based on how much he holds on to his past fantasies.
Venus retrograde in the twelfth house
Here the individual is delayed in phase III of the retrograde process. During this phase, he does not express feelings openly if he thinks they might be rejected. Often a person is attached to a love from a past life that was not broken, and while living every day in his future, he continues to try to restore his past. He may be happy when he is alone, but he does not like feeling abandoned by others. At the slightest hint of rejection, he feels sorry for himself for a long time, since he almost instinctively knows that he entered this incarnation, leaving true love behind. Essentially, he tries to satisfy himself by finding symbolic aspects of this love in all the people he meets, but for all his emotional energy, he still clings to the romantic concepts of a bygone time.

Thus, it is difficult for him to be completely satisfied with the experience of his current life, since he views everything he perceives through the colored glasses of preconceived concepts. He goes through life with silent pain and does not like others to make demands of him. Usually, with this position of Venus, a person has many hidden emotions. Other people rarely see this, but the person is almost constantly aware of this part of himself that continues to refuse to enter the current life. He can be a creator if he is not forced. He spends a lot of time alone with himself, actually gaining strength by subconsciously going through the memories of past moments when he was truly at peace with himself. He is a seeker not so much of external popularity as of internal satisfaction. With this position of Venus, a secret love affair is sometimes possible, with the help of which the individual tries to maintain in the present the illusion of what was reality in his past. Emotionally tied to time, he allows many of life's opportunities to pass him by. He will achieve happiness when he realizes that he is not actually losing the past by living in the present.
So what is the retrograde movement of the planet?Movement. Since the astrologer considers the movement of the planets relative to the earthly observer, but he has to observe the loop-like movement of P. This “phenomenon” is explained by the difference in the period of revolution around the Sun. As a result, we observe forward and backward (retrograde) movement. They also pay attention to stops: to the moments of P.’s transition from one type of movement to another.
Direct motion is when a planet moves in the sequence of zodiac signs. In maps it is indicated by "D", as a rule, only in cases where there is a transition from a retrograde movement. Astrologically, such a movement marks the normal development of the topic and function of such a P.
Retrograde (retrograde) - when a planet, in a movement visible to an observer on Earth, moves against the sequence of signs of the Zodiac. In maps it is designated "R". Astrologically, such a movement marks a “complicated” task for the planet, i.e. The lesson of such a planet must be learned most carefully.
During the retrograde movement of Venus, the fruits accumulated in a past life and the experience accumulated in this life simply do not reach the conscious level, as if creating a blank spot in the consciousness. They cease to be perceived in a normal way due to a weakened ability to adapt to people and rapidly changing conditions and situations.
The retrograde movement of Venus causes inhibition and stagnation in all matters that it rules, that is, cultural, social, romantic and sexual. This time is not suitable for engagement and marriage. The stupor will continue until Venus moves into a direct position and reaches the degree from which it began its retrograde movement. From this point on, circumstances again arise that allow one to express one's ideas, plans and intentions in accordance with the essential nature of Venus without any particular problems.
During the retrograde movement of Venus, the psyche is influenced by subconscious processes, consciousness does not react to many things or reacts late, therefore a person’s emotional life at this time is unsatisfactory and more sluggish. This is reflected in the sphere of love and intimacy, and in relationships with others. At this time, men become unattractive or even “lose” their masculine qualities, and women become frigid, capricious and hysterical. Mutual understanding between people is difficult, everyone (especially women) becomes more sensitive, touchy, capricious, their reactions to any stimuli become inadequate.
People with retrograde Venus in Radix exhibit unnatural behavior, an increased desire for a bohemian lifestyle, and their creative self-expression is colored by some kind of abnormal feelings. With a weakened Venus, this often leads to an immoral lifestyle, alcoholism, drug addiction, sybarism and even prostitution.

Venus retrograde
Focus on inner harmony. This is more important than being liked by others. Feelings depend on factors of inner life.There is no harmony between the tasks of love and concrete embodiment. There is no inner confidence, and this brings difficulties in love and in relationships with the opposite sex. A person suffers from loneliness and passionately desires happiness. But he cannot realize himself at the level of Venus. It is difficult to get married, to get married.
This is karma in the emotional sphere. In a past life, a person failed to understand what love is. Now life and memories of those sufferings do not allow me to surrender completely.
Both men and women are suspicious and self-serving. Because of suspicion, they refuse love, often foolishly depriving themselves of happiness.
Since money is also associated with Venus, retrograde can bring difficulties and restrictions in financial matters and acquisitions.
But Venus is not forever retrograde. When its movement becomes direct, circumstances and situations arise that make it possible to solve these problems.
Retrograde Venus - esoteric symbol
Venus, the ruler of love, beauty and harmony, is symbolized by the circle of Spirit above the cross of Matter. Here the Spirit of man flows down into expression in form, thus creating life. When form is created from Spirit, it becomes something beautiful, since everything that man creates comes from his etheric nature. Through Venus, beauty, harmony and love of the human Spirit can find its way into matter.
When Venus is retrograde, this sequence, as in the case of Mercury, becomes reversed and the person depends on the form to activate his Spirit. Thus, if the material side of his life does not agree with his knowledge of form in past incarnations, he is inclined to allow the Spirit to deny everything that exists in reality. With all planets retrograde, the form or material part of an individual's life dominates as the individual continues to try to understand all the karma that he has crystallized into matter in past incarnations.
An individual with Venus retrograde acts less in life than reacts to it. It is important to understand that the semi-circle of the Soul is absent from the symbol of Venus and it is for this reason that Venus is attributed to the personal part of the harmonizing nature of man, while Neptune, containing the semi-circle of the Soul, allows a person to experience all the beauty from its cosmic source. Wherever the Soul is present as a conscious force, the personal part of a person is always subordinate. This is why we see so much giving manifested through Neptune. But when the Soul is absent as a conscious force, the personal part of man's nature takes over. This is why we see so many requests for personal satisfaction through Venus. Retrograde nature amplifies this - to the point that the individual develops very strong patterns of reactions to everything that happens to him, judging every event, circumstance and relationship in terms of how loved he is or how unloved he is.
Thus, the overall effect of Venus retrograde is felt largely in this very personal side of life, which is not nourished through the Soul, but rather represents an attempt to make form the mother of Spirit. As a result, the material or physical side of life takes control.
Venus retrograde - individuality
A person with retrograde Venus is noticeably different from a person with direct Venus. There is a tendency here to create grievances and wounds inside, working them out internally, which a directly moving Venus would try to work off externally. Often, Venus retrograde not only creates these hurts and wounds, but also tends to exaggerate their effect. Excessive emphasis is placed on the shortcomings of love in an individual's life. For such a person, the path of love does not flow smoothly.
Overly shy, he usually doubts whether people pay attention to him. Not always sure of his likes and dislikes, he experiences a discrepancy between his life and its awareness. He may be deeply in love and not realize it until years after the relationship ends. He experiences many similar patterns of behavior designed to keep him from the reality of what he thinks he really needs.
There is always a difficulty with the opposite sex, since the individual tends to subconsciously pre-program his future relationships so that they fit into the patterns of his past.
This position corresponds to great uncertainty, since the individual constantly tries to be equal to the people with whom his path intersects. But in doing this, he half-consciously continues to alienate others from himself, so that no one will truly know him deeply enough to threaten the little security and reliability on which he has based his identity. In this position, the individual blocks himself from happiness by trying too hard to achieve it.
Venus retrograde - karma
When Venus is retrograde, the individual carries with him a misunderstanding of past life love. The mental pain was so intense that he is now cutting himself off from fully experiencing the richness of love because he is afraid of being hurt again. Whether it is a man or a woman, in the current life there is great difficulty in relationships with the opposite sex.
Trying to live in the present, he endlessly creates anew the past memory of love in a previous incarnation, which continues to elude him. He reacts to the present as if he were actually living in his past. In this sense, he is fixed at a point in time, and no matter what he does, there is unlikely to be the advancement that he says he wants.
In men's charts this sometimes indicates karma associated with homosexuality. But even homosexuality has its levels, ranging from the open man who tries to politically advertise homosexuality to the world, to the man who will not tolerate even the word in his presence, who is married but looks for any opportunity to avoid women while proving his masculinity. For the latter type of man, life revolves around male friends. Under the pretext of visiting clubs, associations, etc. he avoids the company of women. He may function respectably in society, but he is still a latent homosexual. Less often we find similar reactions in women with Venus retrograde.
The most prominent karmic pattern is that the individual, whether male or female, has a strong tendency to distrust most offers of love, feeling that those who make these offers usually have ulterior motives.
Venus retrograde in Aries
Here the individual feels most comfortable in Phase I of the retrograde process, when he lives in anticipation of creating all the feelings that will bring him self-respect. He is very shy and constantly worries about what other people think of him. He may become defensive when he feels that others are putting him in a difficult position. Therefore, he tends to spend a lot of time alone. He is very sensitive to other people's concepts of himself, and if someone's negative self-image might affect him, he quickly runs away in the other direction. One of his difficulties is his tendency to jump to conclusions about his feelings. He imagines his perceptions in advance, and instead of going with the flow, he formulates his attitude towards certain situations before he experiences them. However, he looks for these situations to check whether his formulations were accurate. Marriage is not an easy task for this individual, as a general lack of trust coupled with too much self-involvement prevents him from accepting the full wealth of another individual. The boredom he usually feels is not boredom from life or from another person, but rather from intense boredom from himself. Instead of facing this and understanding it, he often makes great efforts to fill his life with entertainment until he is ultimately convinced that he has nothing to do with his problem. The day he learns to love himself, his whole life will change. He works towards overcoming past karma in which he has established a disconnect between his own feelings and the collective feelings of others. It is the residue of this subtle alienation from people that causes him to run away from himself until he realizes that the entire construction of his positions in relation to himself and others exists only in his mind.
Phase I keeps him in karma, but phases II and III show him the way home.
Venus retrograde in Taurus
Here the individual feels most comfortable during phase III of the retrograde process, when he can immerse himself in everything he has acquired in the past. He constantly identifies his sense of security and sense of self-worth with what he has done or absorbed subconsciously from past incarnations, as well as from every previous moment up to the present.
In some cases, this individual is karmically tied to a love in a past life that was never fully realized. As a result, the quantity or quality of love in this life never really seems sufficient to fill the empty space left by such past relationships. He is accustomed to a feeling of absolute reliability and will not rest on love in this life, which offers him less.
In his younger years he appears to be shy, and in his older years he withdraws into himself, silently begging other people to get him out of it. He wants someone to reach out to him, but he doesn't want to admit it. He tries to quietly attract others to himself, but at the same time he is afraid of them. His biggest problem is that he tries to crystallize certain feelings early in his life and, as the years and circumstances of experience fly by, he desperately tries to apply past feelings to every new situation. When this doesn't work, he begins to subconsciously believe that at least part of the world is passing him by. His expectations of relationships with the opposite sex are unusually unrealistic due to the powerful self-deception that he has held onto for many years. If any individual can silently pick up chip after chip until he is actually carrying an invisible tree, then it is a person with Venus retrograde in Taurus.
Venus retrograde in Gemini
Here the individual spends a lot of time trying to find out what other people think about him. He often changes his likes and dislikes to align himself with whoever he is with because he needs feedback to understand the parts of himself that he believes he likes. As a result, his life becomes more oriented toward acceptance and approval than toward purpose.
Due to the mutable qualities of Gemini, this retrograde planet can function during all three phases, but Venus here never fully acquires the personal wealth it is trying to establish. Instead, everything happens on mental levels, and a person's love is ultimately based on ideas and concepts rather than personal feelings. Because of love's ability to constantly re-identify itself according to other people's evaluations, this individual will be less affected by himself than most other people. He tends to focus most of his life on other people's ideas, which he understands least. As a result, his relationships will leave him confused.
Having difficulties with the opposite sex, he looks for reasons within himself to explain the discomfort he feels in their company. The problem is that his mental part (Gemini) has dual masculine qualities, while his feeling part (Venus retrograde) is naturally feminine. Mixing the two creates a cross vibration that leads to insecurity when faced with sexual situations. All human creatures are part male and part female, but the fickle qualities of Gemini, with the influence of the retrograde effect during the formative childhood years, make it difficult for an individual to establish a core sexual identity in which he can firmly believe. However, as he gets older and experiences some of his childhood concepts, he changes his mental constructs and comes to a new understanding of his place in humanity. Ultimately, he views love not as sexual in general, but rather as a universal recognition of one's kinship with humanity. To achieve this, he must overcome the karma of a past life in which he had difficulty identifying the male and female parts in himself. In his current life, he subconsciously tries to satisfy both parts until he realizes that his identity is not based on either of them. Rather, its basis is the interaction of positive and negative energies, which, when mixed, are the source of all creative thinking.
Venus retrograde in Cancer
Here the individual is most comfortable in phase III of the retrograde process, when he constantly relives his early childhood role in relationships with his parents. In men, this can mean a strong “Oedipus complex,” in which he never really understood his love for his mother. Its counterpart in women is called the “Electra complex.” In any case, the individual continues to prove that he wants to be his own master, but at the same time does not really know how to free himself from the need for protection that he needed in childhood. He experiences the karma of addiction, and every step into the future brings him closer and closer to the womb that he never wanted to leave. He reconstructs his life with people who represent all of his early childhood conflicts. He doesn't know how to free himself from these conflicts. One of his biggest problems is that he bases his feelings and reactions to people on past memories. Unfortunately, he becomes trapped in more and more karma every time he does this.
In marriage, he projects early feelings for his parents onto his marriage partner. In some cases, he even chooses a partner who reminds him of his parent of the opposite sex. By basing his opinion of himself too much on what his elders think of him, he must learn to work on developing an appreciation of his own worth. All his senses are based on seeing the world through a “family-like” structure. This provides a protective shell from which he can sneak glances at everything he sees around him. Interestingly enough, he at the same time complains that this the shell keeps him from experiencing everything he would like to. However, his greatest strength comes later in life, when it becomes important to him to give his own children and grandchildren all the security and comfort on which his values were built.
Venus retrograde in Leo
Here the individual is most comfortable during phase I of the retrograde process. Having an unusually strong power complex, he mentally projects himself into everything he does. When he is inspired, he can transfer a lot of power to others, but he is not always sure of their sincerity and tends to silently evaluate them.
He sometimes tests Other People to see if they are worthy of his company. As a result, he takes on more than he actually needs. But at the same time, this artificial burden increases his sense of self-respect. By playing the role of a martyr, he may convince himself that he is carrying a cross, giving love that is not appreciated. His biggest problem is that he wants to command and lead, but the retrograde vibration does not always produce the effects in others that he tries too hard to achieve. During Phase I, he can actually intimidate other people with the strength of his directness and forward-looking attitude. Then, feeling the negative reaction he caused, he pulls himself away from the people he wanted to be close to rather than admit that he caused the overreaction. This position of Venus is less harmful to the individual than to those people who sincerely want to associate closely with him and find it difficult. He brings karma with him into this life, which involves him in constant self-demonstration. And the more he puts himself on display, the less he is able to experience the richness of interacting with other people on an equal basis.
Venus retrograde in Virgo
This is one of the most difficult positions for Venus retrograde, as the individual brings with him a very high ideal of love into this life. As a result, he never fully experiences this feeling with the people he is involved with, since none of them live up to his expectations. He subconsciously evaluates the shortcomings that he feels and sees in others. Because of this, he is not only reluctant to experience love, but when he does feel love, he continues to pick it apart until the feelings become just a collection of analytical theories. It remains the longest in phase III of the retrograde process. Here he acts as an introvert out of fear that others will hurt him. In fact, this individual experiences karma. He is forced to understand human weakness, since the perfection of love, although it is the ideal to which we all strive, is not to be counted on as a reality in human conditions. It is in this third phase that the individual questions why none of his past relationships met his needs. And it is precisely this structure of thinking - "making love work" - that keeps the individual from figuring out what the experience of love really is. Due to the retrograde action of the planet, the individual has to evaluate the shortcomings of others, and since he directs energy inward, he tends to transfer this karma to himself. As a result, he constantly finds shortcomings in himself and believes that in the eyes of others he should be better. He must learn to clearly see himself and love himself not from the point of view of all the ideals that have crystallized in his mind, but from the corresponding perspective. the reality of the world in which he lives.
Venus retrograde in Libra
Ruling Venus feels more at home here than in any other position. As an individual moves from one retrograde phase to another with the help of the people he meets, he begins to feel more needed. His concept of love is very romantic and depends more on ideas or things that people imagine than on satisfying their own physical tastes and needs. Some people with this placement experiment with homosexuality as their need for love tries to rise above the conventions of social tradition. Subconscious stubbornness and self-will manifest themselves in almost everything that an individual does. He will give to those who did not ask, to serve if no one ordered, he will be obedient if no one demanded. He does not respond well to force, pressure, or demands from others. His natural personality is to calmly seek out other people's needs and be helpful enough to satisfy them. On a very deep level, he is not at all sure of what he really wants for himself. He is in a constant state of change, trying to adjust himself to what seems to satisfy others. By being aware of the psychological games that society plays, he may in fact be one of the most skilled players. He will convince himself that some people cannot live without him, when in fact this is a projection of his own need to the contrary. He can be happy satisfying himself with almost anyone who suits his subconscious needs, because he never really connects with others, but simply divides himself in half and then uses another individual as a mirror for that part of himself with which he wants to identify at this moment, makes friends, talks and even makes love - with himself!
His karma is rooted in balancing his value system through relationships, and only when he is sure of this will he calm down and truly support the idea he loves most.
Venus retrograde in Scorpio
This is a very difficult position for Venus retrograde, as the Scorpio urge continues to push the individual past his own satisfaction. He never feels satisfied, but rather feels like everything he is looking for is just around the next corner or buried in the next well in his mind. Spending a lot of time in Phase I, he seeks future satisfaction, but unfortunately continues to think that he will find his ideal in another person, place or situation, and not in the deepest recesses of his own existence. He is very jealous and secretive in love, and at the same time intensely interested in the personal feelings of other people. Essentially, everything he sees in others makes it difficult for him to experience what he is looking for in himself.
He goes through long periods when he believes his frustration is sexual, but it goes much deeper than that. The fact is that in past incarnations he experienced an experience that made him dislike himself on a subconscious level. He feels alienated from the ideals he perceives in himself, and no matter how hard he tries, he is unable to convince himself of his own worth. When this pattern continues, his behavior only reinforces his inner feelings of failure and distances him from everything he truly wants. In some cases, the root of the problem may be a love in a past life on which he relied and in which he was ultimately disappointed. If so, then usually this experience is repeated early in this life. It is difficult for him to feel completely free with the opposite sex, and until he looks into himself, he can come up with many reasons for this. However, at the deepest levels, he does not allow himself to become vulnerable to others because he has experienced pain in the past.
For people with this placement of Venus, it is important to learn to forgive, but the individual must understand that forgiveness is not possible without forgetting. In this position, the individual can function during all three retrograde phases, but his greatest evolution occurs during phase III, when, reappraising all that he has experienced, he can transcend the feelings of the lower karmic levels in his past.
Venus retrograde in Sagittarius
This is a very lonely position for Venus retrograde. The individual values freedom more than the personal intimacy that Venus promises. Here Phase I of the retrograde process is emphasized, so that the individual continues to be mentally transported from one rainbow to another, never remaining long enough in one place to allow Venus to absorb the full vibration of his surroundings. He does not readily accept advice from others. This individual is the most experienced among representatives of other zodiac positions, but at the same time he feels that he is still missing something. This is also a difficult position for a marriage. Often the reason for divorce is too restless nature. It is difficult to satisfy everything that an individual feels he needs, and as a result he often confuses others. He views the world as a giant kaleidoscope with countless offerings to try, and he never likes to get too deeply involved in anything. The quantity of life experience becomes more important than the quality. As his higher mind wanders the far reaches of the universe, searching for a place where he can feel at home, the individual ignores the bird in the hand, looking for the pie in the sky.
His ideals from previous lives are high, and although he may not always live up to them, he continues to seek out people, places, and circumstances that make him feel closer to those past idealistic experiences. He usually feels his own worth, has a fairly strong ego and keeps it healthy despite being immersed in what life has to offer. Although this position is difficult for long-term intimate relationships, it gives the individual an unusually vivid scope of life experience. In past incarnations, he learned to develop a natural sense of the world around him, which he now relies on much more than the words of teachers.
Venus retrograde in Capricorn
In this position, Venus usually indicates marriage with an older partner or with an individual symbolizing authority from the past. Sometimes the marriage partner recalls limitations imposed in childhood, and at other times it brings forward limitations placed on the individual in a past life. The most comfortable period for the individual is phase III, in which the previous times are repeated. They represent security and confidence when the individual seeks to re-experience a protective relationship. This is a collector of antiques or something memorable from previous historical times, or even people, which symbolizes his need to bring something to its necessary completion.
His life is filled with all kinds of forms, since everything that he feels, he wants to crystallize within himself in order to satisfy the feeling of reliability. He may seem mature for his age in his youth, but at the same time he always internally protests against all restrictions on his freedom. He holds on to thoughts, ideas and feelings (including negative ones) for many years and tends to deny himself pleasure or happiness during the first half of life, hoping for some greater prospect at another time. However, as he gets older, he begins to realize how much he tried to recreate his past and how much it bound him. Then he changes radically and becomes more practical in terms of his own needs.
All this time he feels out of tune with people his age. In essence, he lives his life in reverse, experiencing the burdens of old age at a young age and the freedom of youth at an old age.
This position of Venus is one of the horoscope indicators of family karma. The discrepancy comes from the past incarnation and is repeated during the younger years in this life - the individual spends most of his time running away from himself, and then about halfway through life, when he realizes this, he tries to compensate for everything he has missed.
Venus retrograde in Aquarius
This is where the individual feels most comfortable during Phase I of the retrograde process. He can explore the needs that he senses glimpses of before they become real in his life. At times he can become commanding and overbearing in his desire to help others, sometimes unintentionally getting in their way. He is very independent and does not easily accept restrictions. His attachments are distributed among so many things, people and circumstances that those close to him cannot focus their energy. Much of this scattering, however, is simply a reflection of his highly volatile nature. He tends to be overly sensitive to his surroundings and must change his approach to life in order to feel balanced. He can be a rebel, loves his freedom, does not tolerate people imposing their will on him. At the same time, he feels that he knows what is best for others. Thus, there appears to be a lack of perspective in his personal relationships. He has an insatiable interest in almost everything and tends to come into contact with some very strange people. Everything conventional and traditional is too boring for him to focus any lasting attention on it, but he needs a feeling of reliability and confidence. He is actually not very confident in himself and would not want others to know about it.
During Phase I, he actively explores the unknown, while during Phase III, he re-explores unknown or little-used bits of knowledge from the past. It is during the third phase that many people with this Venus retrograde position enjoy researching ancient civilizations or little-known documents from other periods in history. For many, this position brings great interest in astrology and esoteric subjects. If you remove all the artificial layers of an individual's life, he is a very lonely person. His selfless need to help other people is really the mask of his attempts to earn his way back into humanity, which in another incarnation for some reason rejected him. Thus, he never expects complete intimacy for any long period of time, but he is simply pleased to know that his beliefs and ideas are now accepted. And he will try his best just to earn that acceptance.
Venus retrograde in Pisces
Here the individual spends most of his time in phase III of the retrograde process, when he re-engages in the dream of love that has passed by. He is very lonely and silently feels that he is separated from the tangible reality to which he strives. In past incarnations he was very romantic and now continues to pull himself back into past fantasies. This person is unconventional, considers himself independent as long as he has someone to rely on. Much of what he experiences is a re-enactment of fairy tales with which he, being extremely impressionable, was identified as a child. But in fact, he begins to see this no earlier than mid-life. It is difficult to establish contact with this person, since his illusions prevent him from seeing himself. Every time his mirror is about to shatter, he creates new fantasies to free himself as much as possible from the restrictions he feels in his current reality. He does not feel comfortable in this incarnation, but does not want to realize that he himself chose the circumstances that surround him. It is easier for him to believe that life carried him along, at times even against his will. He is afraid of being at the mercy of people or circumstances that may at some point in the future make demands on him. Subconsciously he feels that he may not be able to meet these demands. So this is another reason to avoid your true inner feelings.
This position of retrograde Venus tends towards masochism. Many situations are created in which the cosmic “I” is punished and at the same time the lower personal “I” is saddened. The more a person allows past illusions to enter into his present feelings, the more he separates himself from whatever present feelings he says he wants to experience.
In relationships with other people, he tends to go into the dull fog of Pisces, which he surrounds himself with as a buffer against the present. This is one of the most difficult positions for personal love. Essentially a person must work his way through the karma of lifting his expectations from the personal plane of the lower self and at that point begin to experience a Divine attunement upon which he can base his reality. Many individuals with this position have experienced the loss of personal love in a past incarnation. Now in this life, they subconsciously continue to look for aspects of this love in every person they meet, until one day they realize that their Soul has decided to transform, regardless of selfish needs. As a result, in this position, during phase III of the retrograde process, a person feels sadness, which turns into active giving to humanity when the individual selflessly “switches” to phase I.
Venus retrograde in the first house
This individual needs a lot of attention, but never feels completely satisfied. He is preoccupied with how he appears to others and is very self-centered, since feelings of self-love rise much higher on the conscious than on the subconscious level. While constantly seeking more attention, this individual experiences conflicting feelings about himself. Although he thinks of himself as a creature of love, he apparently, does not understand how much love should be given to others. He gives too much or not enough. In general, the “amount of love” that he experiences when giving or receiving does not correspond to the situation.
He wants to be allowed to live his own life, but he clings too much to others for fear of being alone. This conflict can cause numerous problems in relationships as well as in marriage. In his love experiences he goes through a three-phase retrograde process which continues to emphasize the positive or negative nature more according to the pattern of the phase he is in than to whether his reactions to the circumstances of his relationships with other people are justified. He will not necessarily be a giver in love, but can absorb a lot of love from others. He needs this for self-confidence.
This position is most difficult during Phase II of the retrograde process - the need for harmony combined with the expression of unity within the first house cannot tolerate cross vibration for a long period of time. A person feels most at home in Phase I, when expectations are raised to the highest level. Even in this phase, when he tries to emphasize his Venus positively to lead him into the future, he nevertheless experiences the naturally negative magnetic quality of Venus due to which he expects to be the recipient of love. The key to happiness in this position is based on realistic self-acceptance.
Venus retrograde in the second house
Here the individual is most comfortable during phase III, when Venus's characteristic absorption of rays recreates past experiences that offer the individual a sense of security. He is an extraordinary owner in relation to all past value systems. He loves to absorb the universe around him, as this again gives him the confidence and reliability that he is so used to feeling. He can be extremely materialistic, while trying to re-establish and strengthen all past feelings of self-worth. Having a strong tendency to repeat everything he loves, he becomes the creature of many habits. His need for reassurance on both a physical and material level is very great, so it is difficult for him to be too generous without feeling like he is losing something in the process.
In this situation, the individual tries to contain within himself everything that he values in the universe. In many cases, this increases the normal ownership of a second home. For all its reliability needs, it is not very competitive, since this position is characterized by a certain amount of laziness. The individual will experience difficulties with the opposite sex as a result of his possessive feelings or out of fear of becoming the property of another. He takes care of his affections, although internally he exaggerates his feelings. He likes to do things his own way. He may become angry if he feels that others are interfering with his ways of doing things. Many people with this placement become great craftsmen, but will always create something from the past. If an individual decides to earn his living by creating graceful chariots in the twenty-first century, he will be a person with Venus retrograde in the second house.
Here the individual experiences the karma of attachment to the love and comfort of a past life. This applies to people, objects and circumstances. In the present life his confidence and security are based on the continuity of form and matter.
Venus retrograde in the third house
This is a very difficult position for Venus, as the unpredictability of Gemini constantly throws the individual from one retrograde phase to another. The person seems to be out of sync in most of his relationships. His love is too much or too little compared to what he received from another individual. His love may be contrary to the time dimension: he may experience great love for an individual when he is just preparing to be with him, a rather low vibration during actual personal contact. He reaches the highest degree of love when he has already parted with this person - looking back and restoring him in memory. Thus, the individual in his love life and in relationships with other people experiences great problems, trying to live “here and now.” Forces outside him are constantly acting on this retrograde Venus, creating conditions for which he is not yet ready or feels that they have already passed Finding himself in such conditions in life, he tries to harmonize his feelings and mental activity. As a result, he spends a lot of time analyzing everything that he feels. This is a bad situation for a marriage, since the mutable qualities of the third house continue to force the individual out of agreement with his own feelings. The person does not always mean what he says. He is more interested in the feelings he creates in the listener. He is essentially insecure, especially with people his own age. Very often, in order to feel accepted, he will say or do things. which he realizes are not his own, but which will give him the social acceptance and approval he craves.
His karma is connected with the feelings of people, as he tries to find ways to satisfy others as well as himself. This position of Venus is characterized by a large share of karmic loneliness. This individual may feel alone in a crowd.
Venus retrograde in the fourth house
Venus is well placed in the fourth house, enjoying a fair amount of comfort during all three retrograde phases. Although the last two phases may cause the individual to be somewhat introverted, this does not cause him too much discomfort. It's good if there is a person of the opposite sex nearby to lean against - his concept of love always includes a certain degree of parental protection, which, although he may resent it externally, he really needs internally. He is spontaneous, like a child, and constantly recaptures the kind of love he experienced in his early years. This individual never completely outgrows his love and affection for the parent of the opposite sex. So he keeps trying to get back into the fold. He sometimes experiences fear of people, and as a result, he finds it more difficult to express his tendencies to the outside world than to close people whom he has known for a long period of time. It is difficult for him to understand strangers, because from the point of view of love, he views his world as one giant family - his own! Often he feels obligated to treat other people in the outside world as if they were truly his own family. This is done subconsciously, but it places a burden on him to limit the number of people and external situations in which he can feel comfortable.
He makes his way through karma. According to it, he continues to repeat the experience of the beginning of love until he has enough confidence to believe that thanks to this he has the protection and security that he needed to be able to express it to the outside world.
Venus retrograde in the fifth house
Here the individual is most comfortable during phase I of the retrograde process. He usually has a very strong ego, which expresses itself through the creative process. As a result, he can sometimes overwhelm people with the enormous inner confidence he seems to possess. But this is actually not the case, since the combination of planet and house gives acting ability, which a person shows in the presence of other people to hide his shyness. He tends to project his feelings onto other people because he cannot bear rejection. However, he may reject other people when he feels that they are going to reject him. He rationalizes his decision by saying that they do not meet his standards.
In some cases he is internally proud of himself, and others must strengthen this pride before he allows them into his circle. He will struggle to maintain his self-esteem and may often deny himself full enjoyment of life in an attempt to be worthy of the image he has created for himself. He feels best when he can help others whom he views as less capable than himself. Thus, some people with this planetary placement may take great pleasure in teaching self-expression to children with developmental delays or other individuals suffering from physical disabilities. One of the biggest difficulties with this placement of Venus is that the individual is constantly disappointed because his expectations are too unrealistic. He is unable to find the perfect person who can satisfy everything he thinks he needs. Thus, the main direction of his work is to fulfill the karmic lesson of satisfaction. He can grow significantly internally by realizing that his life is less dependent on other people than he believes. The dissatisfaction he feels in others is always the dissatisfaction he has created in himself. When he learns to expect less from life, he will realize the joy he seeks.
Venus retrograde in the sixth house
This is a very precarious position for sensitive Venus, since the individual always feels a sense of duty that constrains him. A person often experiences disappointment in relationships, especially in work-related areas. Although all retrograde phases are difficult, the individual feels more secure in the third phase, when he withdraws into himself, restrains his feelings and tries to explain everything that he is and what he thinks he should be to others. This saddens him internally and prevents him from functioning at his best. He should beware of extremes in his feelings, since subconsciously he believes that the world is a place of decay and disorder.
He withdraws from other people because he doesn't quite understand how to deal with the imperfections he sees in them. One of his biggest problems is that he can allow his feelings to become computerized. He does this by pre-programming his relationships in order to calculate in advance how they will work. His approach to people is mechanical. He views every thought and action of another person as part of many moves in his planned chess game of life. He may do favors for others, but he will only be satisfied if he knows that the debts will be repaid. Unfortunately, he tends to judge other people by what they do, measuring their actions and actions against his ideals. Thus, he lives by a double standard, not fully realizing that the ideals of all the people he knows may be as high as his own, and that their failure to live up to those ideals in his presence is a reflection of his own human weaknesses. He uses most of his energy by purifying and suppressing many of his needs. From this limited vantage point he deals with the karma of trying to create perfection in his environment. He must learn that the world is already perfect and that he cannot improve it. Somewhere between his perfect idealism and the unacknowledged needs of other people lies the balance that will bring him happiness.
Venus retrograde in the seventh house
This is one of the more unique positions for Venus retrograde. As the ruler of the seventh house, it can be very beneficial if the individual uses it to see the true reflection of himself in the eyes of those he loves. However, if he struggles with the fact that many of his ideas, thoughts and feelings seem to be rejected, and does not understand the reasons for this, then he may actually cause instability in the entire horoscope. His moods and feelings are controlled by the world around him; there is no boundary between the feelings that come from him and the feelings that he absorbs from others. As he slides from one retrograde phase to another, he takes on various identities, each directed towards himself, but none truly at his center. He is well aware that he can actually be “inside out,” losing his spontaneity in order to be thought better of by others. He is essentially an extreme believer. In one day, he can completely “switch gears” to deliberately wanting to displease others . His feelings are like a pendulum, swinging from side to side with the wind of other people's feelings, always passing the center, but rarely stopping there. He is never quite sure of how he appears to other people.
Extremely sensitive to his external environment, he first mixes with it, gets lost in it, and then runs away from it to recover. However, he does not like to do things alone and feels frustrated because he wants to know himself, but does not want to be completely separated from others. He experiences karma by recognizing the unbalanced parts of himself through how others see him.
Venus retrograde in the eighth house
Here the individual spends a lot of time in Phase I of the retrograde process, when the passionate nature intensifies the need to achieve future satisfaction now. He feels a great inner intensity that is not easily released. Emotions of love are often associated with past anger and resentment directed at some individual or experience that brought back painful memories. He is extremely sensitive and does not like to be looked at by others. His ideals are very high, but if an individual is unable to realize his dream in real life, his actions may run in the opposite direction.
In sex, it fluctuates from periods of intense need to periods of complete lack of interest. His sexual stimulus is associated with a strong desire for possession. At times, he may secretly be jealous of others who seem to have more than him. He hides from his own feelings, not wanting to face the wall that he puts between his outer and inner life. With this position of Venus, a person is very impatient and irritable, as he experiences the depth of his own needs and at the same time feels the influence of the needs of other people. This brings conflict between the manner in which he treats society and how he truly feels. Often, with this position of Venus, there is great resentment and resentment in a person’s life, as he feels deceived or deprived of much that he believes rightfully belongs to him.
He struggles with many things and is jealous that other people can achieve the same goals with less effort. With this position of Venus, a person experiences a feeling of isolation from the world. He still has a past lost love in his soul. As a result, the individual finds it difficult to fully trust the people he meets in his current life because he subconsciously sees in each of them a symbolic part of the love that he was deprived of in the past.
Venus retrograde in the ninth house
Here the individual experiences a great need for personal freedom. He does not allow others to hinder him or crowd his space. For some people this position manifests itself in a great love for spiritual life. Isolated from the intense subjective qualities of social relations, he seeks peace within himself through his ability to remain out of the thick of things. This may manifest itself as a desire to retire to a monastery, climb mountains, or walk barefoot through the forest.
Here the need for a sense of the enormity of life is great, and the individual often sacrifices intimacy with other people to satisfy this need. He is very independent and does not like to be stuck into the mold of other people's desires. At the same time, this is a very difficult position for marriage or any other long-term relationship, since in the ninth house the personal qualities of Venus are transferred to a “more cosmic” reality. Thus, the individual’s sense of self-identity has a different quality than that of most other people whom he meets. Due to the fact that he sees the ebb and flow of the general flow of life, he does not like to create many things without outside help. Numerous meetings await him with various people, most of whom, apparently, represent philosophy. , completely alien to the ideas on which he was brought up, he is apparently difficult to understand, since the motives of his ideas are not common and differ from those that motivate his contemporaries.
This person may actually achieve a rare degree of calm in the midst of a world of chaos. At the same time, he cannot easily convey this to other people. In some cases, as a result of a past incarnation, he may be endowed with artistic talent. Whatever the lifestyle, he will experience a conflict between the feeling that he should be involved in the needs of society and the knowledge that there are many reasons not to do so. Karmically, he marches to the beat of another drummer. He brings with him into this life from the past a very strong desire to do what he likes, when he wants. He is easy to get along with, but impossible to possess, as his deeply ingrained instinct is to be a free spirit.
Venus retrograde in the tenth house
Here the individual spends a lot of time in phase III of the retrograde process. He loves to look back on the fulfillment of his aspirations and needs in life to know that he is accepted by those whom he previously looked up to. He likes social approval, but he doesn't like to seek it. Thus, he finds it difficult to express himself creatively outwardly, as he expects that others may reject him. He may become overly conscientious of others and, as a result, very sensitive in social situations.
Capable of internally absorbing the feelings of others, he often feels responsible for meeting the needs of those around him. This makes him feel less comfortable in social situations. He appears to be shy and sometimes backs away from where he wants to go most. He feels responsibility from the past and is not sure that he is capable of being worthy of it. In a man's horoscope this may cause difficulties with women as a result of being dominated by an adult woman early in his life. Usually this position of Venus gives great creativity, already developed in past incarnations, but the individual must now develop self-confidence if he is to express them. Karmically, he goes through life trying to gather feelings that will give him the sense of purpose that he needs. Once he can do this, he will be able to express the meaning in his life that he has been searching for.
Venus retrograde in the eleventh house
This is one of the most difficult positions for Venus retrograde, as it distracts from the creative process. The individual rarely experiences a feeling of calm. Venus's tolerance is broken by eternal passive curiosity during phase I of the retrograde process. A person strives for satisfaction in many different directions at the same time. Sometimes the sense of reality is so unique that the individual is almost completely disconnected from his identity on the earthly level. He wants to try everything, but doesn't know why. At times he becomes so possessed by his thoughts that the dishonest greed he sees in others on the material level is a reflection of what he himself does mentally. He must learn to understand his thoughts, because although each new whim and fantasy that attracts him is beautiful in itself, their mixture can be so inharmonious that a person will feel uncomfortable. His personal rejection ultimately causes him to become more distant. While he explores the many realms and possibilities of thought in the universe, he does not always know how to combine them together in his personal life. However, he can help other people more than he can help himself. One of his greatest difficulties is that his secret desire to experience his own experiences keeps him aloof from the rest of humanity that he loves so dearly. Some people with this placement of Venus go through strange sexual experiences, as the need for exploration always pulls them beyond the norms of society.
In past incarnations he experienced many different things that attracted him. Now he began to constantly look for something that he had not yet experienced. His dreams may be unrealistic, but his character is such that the restrictions of traditional society cannot contain him. His future is entirely based on how much he holds on to his past fantasies.
Venus retrograde in the twelfth house
Here the individual is delayed in phase III of the retrograde process. During this phase, he does not express feelings openly if he thinks they might be rejected. Often a person is attached to a love from a past life that was not broken, and while living every day in his future, he continues to try to restore his past. He may be happy when he is alone, but he does not like feeling abandoned by others. At the slightest hint of rejection, he feels sorry for himself for a long time, since he almost instinctively knows that he entered this incarnation, leaving true love behind. Essentially, he tries to satisfy himself by finding symbolic aspects of this love in all the people he meets, but for all his emotional energy, he still clings to the romantic concepts of a bygone time. Thus, it is difficult for him to be completely satisfied with the experience of his current life, since he views everything he perceives through the colored glasses of preconceived concepts.
He goes through life with silent pain and does not like others to make demands of him. Usually, with this position of Venus, a person has many hidden emotions. Other people rarely see this, but the person is almost constantly aware of this part of himself that continues to refuse to enter the current life.
He can be a creator if he is not forced. He spends a lot of time alone with himself, actually gaining strength by subconsciously going through the memories of past moments when he was truly at peace with himself. He is a seeker not so much of external popularity as of internal satisfaction. With this position of Venus, a secret love affair is sometimes possible, with the help of which the individual tries to maintain in the present the illusion of what was reality in his past. Emotionally tied to time, he allows many of life's opportunities to pass him by. He will achieve happiness when he realizes that he is not actually losing the past by living in the present. Venus.

On March 4, Venus in Aries goes into retrograde motion and moves in a “retrograde” direction until April 14. On April 3, Venus enters the sign of Pisces and travels through this sign until 28º 57′ Pisces. From April 15, Venus goes into direct (direct) motion.
Venus goes retrograde about once every year and a half, and this phase lasts approximately 40 days. During a backward movement, it becomes more difficult to monitor your emotions: your mood at this time is unstable, you may be overcome by melancholy and blues. I want to change something in my life. During this period, everything that was hidden behind the external courtesy of Venus can come out. A person may begin to realize that some relationships do not suit him, and something needs to be changed. There is a reassessment of values and relationship things.
As with any retrograde planet, these days there is a return to something that was left unfinished or forgotten. It is clear that in relation to Venus, this concerns relationships. At this time, you can meet people with whom you have tender feelings and good relationships. It often turns out that the reason for the separation or disagreement was a misunderstanding or malicious slander. Even if the relationship cannot return to its previous course, people remove the heavy burden of misunderstanding from their souls. Therefore, during the period of Venus retrograde, it is good for partners to clarify all misunderstandings and understand the feelings of the other person. But the main thing you need to remember is that if you have no intention of breaking up with your partner, then under no circumstances should you make sudden movements (“no need to burn bridges”), otherwise after Venus begins direct movement, it will be difficult to restore good relations.
Relationships that began while Venus was in retrograde most often have no future. They will either gradually fade away or bring disappointment and suffering.
You cannot borrow money, as it will be difficult to return it due to any circumstances. At this time, it is better not to buy goods on sales or at a discount; most likely, the money will be “thrown away.” In the middle of the retrograde path, the inferior conjunction of the Sun and Venus occurs (corresponds to the New Moon = 28.03). The inferior conjunction of Venus with the Sun is the starting point of a new cycle - Venus - Sun. Venus retrograde forces a person to look inside himself to find out the true value of his feelings and affections. Therefore on lower connection a person begins to realize what he really wants, what is most important to him. The time has come to put an end to the old and outdated and start living with an updated system of values. The aspects that Venus forms at this time will show the prospects for development in areas controlled by Venus for the next year and a half.
The upper conjunction of Venus for the Venus-Sun cycle (Conjunction with the Sun during the period of direct movement - corresponds to the Full Moon) highlights all the pros and cons, the inner essence of a person becomes visible, all eyes are drawn to him. It becomes important whether a person has something to show, since this is where the successes of the next cycle are often laid and the foundation is laid for the completion of the current one. If the situation is favorable, the person becomes popular, people want to communicate with him and cooperate. If unfavorable, he becomes the subject of ridicule. It is very important to use the moment of the exact conjunction of Venus with the Sun - (Venus “on the chest” of the Sun), which should be used for matters subordinate to Venus. This moment is very short, so it must be calculated in advance in order to plan appropriate activities for this time. The aspects that Venus has at this moment and its status in the natal chart play a big role.
