Venus Retrogtrade May 13th- June 25th.
Hi, folks! I’m writing this post to let you know about this transit and what’ll bring us.
First of all, it’s important to remember that retrogrades are cycles that are meant for revision. When a planet is retrograde, that means that the energy goes inward, so there’s a lot of introspection, meditation, situations & people from our past coming back into our lives to help us with the revision.
Venus is going retrograde under the sign of Gemini at 21° degrees. Venus in our natal chart is the ruler of Taurus and Libra. Therefore, House 2nd and 7th are ruled by this planet as well. Venus represents love, pleasure, how we attract things and others, and what are we attracted to. It also represents our values, what we like, our talents and our resources, money we make thanks to those resources, self-worth and self-value, sensuality, beauty, harmony & the arts, and what we desire.
Gemini being the ruler of the 3rd house, which is ruled by planet Mercury - represents ideas, perceptions, the ability to acquire knowledge over different fields and topics, quick mental activity, intellect, our brothers, and people that mirror both our light and dark sides.
That being said, the Sun in Taurus will be forming an angle of 30° and the Moon in Aquarius will be forming an angle of 135° with Venus. This means that, the interaction of the Sun and the Moon with Venus will be bringing us awareness regarding blockages or conflicts on the topics associated with Venus and Gemini, that we can solve using our creativity, intellect, mental and psyque abilities.
Venus also will be square to Neptune in ♓ which will manifest some tensions between what we think we want and what we really want and desire. I also think it’s important to mention that Neptune in Pisces represents the collective both conscious and conciousness, so we will have to work to meditate and connect at a deeper level with our emotions. This is to help us meditate on how the many ideals and perceptions imprinted in the collective mind have affected our personal views and perceptions regarding pleasure, what we like, relationships, etc (see Venus associations). What changed and what didn’t?
Last but not least, Venus in Gemini is a placement that tend to have difficulty in connecting at a deeper level in its relationships or even committing to a long lasting one. They need to feel alive and stimulated both mentallly and verbally, so this retrograde is an invitation to try and connect deeper to have a better understanding not only of ourselves, but of others too so we can communicate and express our wants and desires in a positive way.
