Venus retrograde and difficulties in love

There are no periods of Venus retrograde in 2016.

All planets are retrograde except the Sun and Moon. Retrograde is the apparent backward movement of the planet in relation to the Earth. Venus goes retrograde every 19 months, with a retrograde period of about 40 days.

In astrology, Venus is symbolically responsible for love and love relationships. Being in a retrograde has a negative impact on love life, freezes feelings and the development of relationships.

The time of Venus retrograde is traditionally considered an unfavorable time for new acquaintances and forging personal relationships. New love relationships begun during this period will not lead to a long-term and lasting union. It is not recommended at this time to make a first date and arrange a first meeting.

This time is good for ending obsolete relationships, getting rid of old, burdensome personal and business ties. During this period, the appearance of old relationships or former lovers is possible: Venus makes it possible to reconsider one's attitude towards them, if necessary, to renew valuable connections.

In 2015 (from 25.07 to 05.09) Venus retrograde will pass in the sign of Leo. Being in Leo, retrograde Venus increases selfishness and obsession with oneself, excites feelings. At this time, issues of dominance may arise in the relationship and the struggle for leadership may intensify. This situation also increases moodiness and creates an excessive need for attention and for the expression of love and sympathy, which does not benefit any relationship, especially those already formed. Questions of love as such can also be sharply raised - has the feeling been preserved? At this time, careless flirting on the side can lead to a break in relations. And also any "pulling the blanket" on oneself and inattention to the partner can create serious conflicts. It is not excluded at this time and the renewal of feelings, the revival of old relationships or the return of a former lover.

The one who initiates, loses.

Retrograde of higher and social planets

Fast planets - Mercury, Venus and Mars - during retrograde motion can cause a certain confusion for a while. Fortunately, all these delusions and delusions disappear quickly enough. But slow planets in retrograde motion create the opposite effect. They give us the ability to see things much more clearly than usual.

Jupiter

Retrograde Jupiter sets the task of finding one's Path and life calling, enriching the inner world and spiritual growth. During this period, you should objectively look at yourself from the outside and see what you need to improve further or reconsider your value system. It allows you to become wiser and deepen your personal life experience. You may find falsehood in yourself or in others. You must evaluate yourself and find in what way you betray your true essence, maybe you play roles that are unusual for yourself? During this period, positive influences come from people you have dealt with in the past.

This time is right for renewal social and business projects related to Jupiter themes: higher education, legal issues, charity, international relations, research, religion and philosophy.

Jupiter retrograde is a great time to:

  • complete education interrupted earlier;
  • resume the study of a foreign language, begun before;
  • go on a trip that you postponed in the past;
  • go on a trip for spiritual, educational or cultural purposes;
  • restore long-lost friendships or past relationships;
  • to reconsider or clarify their views on life.

Negative influences can also manifest themselves. At this time, the speed of progress in government structures decreases; may bring back an old question or problem. During this time, some people may notice delays or confusion in matters related to Jupiter's spheres of influence: social projects, education, legal issues, etc.

Jupiter retrograde encourages a person to be guided by their internal laws and principles, and not by the rules established by society. It is not recommended to criticize, condemn others and impose your vision of life on them.

Saturn

Saturn is retrograde for about 4.5 months. This is a time of delay and inhibition in the development of events, a time of delay and disruption of plans. External circumstances offer a lot of work. Often there is a need to spend extra time on ordinary activities. The lack of time and the impossibility of completing things on time cause chagrin. It is recommended during this period to relax and just wait for progress: a persistent desire to solve problems will increase their number. Such an internal state will allow you to remain calm and properly distribute your time. Self-discipline and systematic thinking will help to successfully solve emerging problems. It is advisable to use the time of Saturn retrograde to consolidate and comprehend the results of long-standing work.

In astrology, Saturn is known as the "planet of karma". He, like a strict overseer, makes us patiently and humbly bear our burden, according to his charter. Direct Saturn imposes rules on us that we must follow. However, during Saturn retrograde, we are forced to look for support within ourselves, to develop our own rules on our own. We can get much more valuable experience at this time. But, unfortunately, often this experience comes as a result of one's own mistakes. Such is the nature of Saturn.

Uranus

When Uranus goes retrograde, the chances of the changes produced by its lightning-like energy increase. If you yourself want changes that you have been putting off for some reason, you need to overcome fear, rely on the support of Uranus and act. Or just let the planetary energies do their work.

This is the best time for self-expression, a rich source of new ideas and experiments. Retrograde Uranus awakens the need to destroy existing traditions; enhances a person's desire to be different, to be unique and unique.

This period is ideal for the use of creativity, ingenuity and originality. Qualities recommended for success: originality and lack of stereotypes in any business.

Perhaps the changes created by Uranus in 2015 will be related to love, because the beginning of the periods of retrograde movement of Uranus and Venus, the planet of love, occur almost simultaneously. It's time to rethink your relationship. Are you looking for a new love or want to return the old relationship? Take your chance in the summer of 2015!

Neptune

During this period, the border between reality and illusion becomes barely visible, and any intention can be realized. You can dream and fantasize, not forgetting that for the realization of fantasies, a material and physical basis is still necessary as an impulse for implementation. You can write down dreams and plans in a personal diary. For better implementation, it is recommended to describe dreams as already existing.

However, Neptune, known in astrology as the planet of fantasy and reverie, during the period of reverse movement shows us that not everything is so cloudless. This is a good time to combine your fantasies with a realistic outlook on life, reevaluate your ideals and take a closer look at your surroundings.

from June 14, 2016 to November 19 2016

Pluto

Pluto retrograde is a period of clearing. Finding the truth within yourself can be relentless. The retro planet deprives you of support in life and tests your ability to be true to your destiny. Reactionary Pluto disorientates through loss or emptiness in the soul.

The best time for a leisurely analysis of your life, freeing yourself from the unnecessary.

Perhaps during the Pluto retrograde period, you will feel the urge to show a tougher-than-usual style of behavior.

In chapter "Interesting"

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

Different phases of the planet's movement in astrology are usually denoted by letters: D - for direct (direct) movement, R - for retrograde, SD - when the planet starts direct movement after stopping and SR - when the planet starts backward (retrograde) movement after stopping. All planets are retrograde, except for the Sun and Moon.

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