by Lisa Paron

Venus retrogrades Saturday, July 25 at 0° of Virgo. Venus is the planet most associated with love, romance, beauty and money. Retrograde means when a planet appears to be moving backwards in the sky as observed here on earth. Venus goes retrograde every twenty months or so.Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra however it is in its detriment in the sign of Virgo meaning the positive qualities the planet represents are diminished and not as potent. Any planet going in retrograde motion is generally considered a negative thing, however it usually indicates change, a visit to the past or a restructuring of what the planet itself represents as well as the sign it is in. 0° of any sign or planet is considered to be what is referred to as a critical degree meaning it symbolizes new beginnings and important events in our lives.

Those born with the Sun, Moon or Ascendant in Virgo, Taurus and Libra will feel this aspect the most intensely and to a lesser degree Capricorn as well. Venus in the sign of Virgo gives a more critical eye to one's love life, partners and relationships. This is generally a time when one is analyzing all matters of love, deciphering the relationships worthiness and how to repair it. Venus in Virgo has high moral standards especially with relationships; they expect the best, so a relationship restructuring may be in order. Venus retrograde is also a time when an old flame or love interest can come back into your life. It is said that people you meet during Venus retrograde have a karmic connection to your past.

 

Venus retrograde is generally not the best time to begin a new relationship or get married. Often the relationship doesn't turn out quite as expected or it fizzles out in the end. Beauty makeovers can have disastrous results during this time, now is not the time to experiment with your looks or have cosmetic surgery. Do not purchase expensive luxury items as you may buy them now only to realize later you don't like them as much as you thought you would or the item is flawed in some way. Venus retrograde is also not the best time to launch a project or start a business as there will usually a lack of money. Use this time wisely by restructuring the relationships in your life and your business affairs.
