![]() ![]() Venus also has rulership over all beauty, art, and pleasure. She obviously holds dominion over marriage, courtship, and dating, with ties to the sensual and romantic sides of sex and sexuality (as opposed to the more primal urges). With an obvious tie to human intimacy and union-platonic and romantic-she rules one’s love language and ability to connect well with others. WHAT DOES VENUS RULE? Venus holds a powerful sway over all human relationships and interaction. Also, most retrogrades carry a karmic lesson associated with what the planet rules, which I will further elaborate upon later in this essay. Venus Retrograde brings clarity through this initial confusion and by us facing these ghosts from the past. During this time, we are undergoing a powerful emotional transformation. We do not realize that we are becoming enchanted and consumed by all of the things that Venus rules-hungry to satiate these desires at the expense of common sense. Interestingly enough, Venus Retrograde causes our emotional and romantic perception to become hypersensitive. When retrogrades occur, we must REVIEW, REVISIT, and REFLECT. We also tend to revisit the past and have people, events, and unresolved situations from before return to present themselves for closure or to begin anew. When a planet retrogrades, the things that it rules tend to go awry and be thrown off, as well as whatever is ruled by the sign that it is backpedaling within. The lead-up and fade-away (month before and after) can still be felt, but less so. Venus Retrograde is most intense during the actual time we see it moving backward in the sky. However, because of the pre-shadow (lead up) and post-shadow (fade away), the expanse of Venus Retrograde covers nearly four months at a time. Venus turns retrograde once every 18 months for a period of roughly six weeks. Planets don’t actually move backward, but this optical illusion does have mysterious and powerful effects here on Earth. WHAT IS IT? A retrograde occurs when a planet seems to be moving backward in the sky from our vantage point on Earth.
