Fortunately, Venus resumes direct motion beginning June 25, giving.

While it hasn’t entirely derailed you, Libra, one of your lofty goals may have experienced a few setbacks.
Venus retrograde 2020 Patch#
It will take it up until 25 June to get there, then it will stop and move forward one final time, finally clearing that familiar patch of sky on 29 July. Venus, the planet of beauty and love (and your cosmic ruler), has been retrograde for six weeks, reversing through your ninth house of expansion and big-picture visions.

In the retrograde journey, Venus descends into the underworld for 40 days and 40 nights where we are collectively faced with our own shadows. This coming retrograde, Venus will stop (station) on 13 May, then retrace its steps all the way back to the part of the sky it crossed on 10 April. Every 8 years Venus retrogrades through the same sign highlighting issues of relationships, money, values and desire. It’s common that an issue or problem will present itself on the first leg, then reappear during the retrograde (as the planet reverses back over the same territory), and then finally gets resolved as the planet moves forward for the last time. During the two weeks leading up to the Solstice/Christmas holiday, Venus will remain in close conjunction with intense, powerful Pluto for an unusually long time. It stops at 2 (its final station) and then moves forward, passing those same houses a third and final time before heading off. The December 2021-January 2022 Venus retrograde begins with Venus slowing down and then stopping in serious-minded Capricorn on December 19. It stops at 8 (this is the planet stationing) then reversed back, passing the houses 8, 6, 4, 2. It’s safe to say that the ‘hot spot’ degrees of this Venus retrograde are 0-2º, 5-6º, 20- 21º, and 28-29º of Gemini, or of the Mutable Signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces). Imagine an Uber drives up a residential street, passing houses with street numbers 2, 4, 6, 8. That brings those two signs even more into focus. It can help to imagine the planet like a car. Topping that off, there is a Lunar Eclipse positioned right between the VSP in the heart of the Venus Rx this year. The issues and situations that arose on those days may be revisited as Venus “backs up” over that same part of the sky, then resolved after it stops (known as “stationing”) and then begins moving forward again.Īll retrogrades work on this forward/backwards/forward basis. When Venus stops and “moves backwards” it appears to be retracing a part of the sky it has already traversed. WHAT IS THE VENUS RETROGRADE SHADOW PERIOD?
