Venus Retrograde through the houses

Venus is retrograde until April 12, 2025. The houses in astrology represent different areas of life. Depending on where Venus retrograde is transiting through your chart, it determines the area of life that brings a re-evaluation of love, affection, pleasure, warmth, appreciation, beauty, money, art, and desire. These do not have to be romantic or sexual.

This upcoming Venus retrograde will have similar tones to the Venus retrograde periods of 2017, 2009, 2001, and 1993. Take into account what was happening for you during those periods. For example, I know someone who had Venus retrograde through her 4th house. It was during that time that she developed dissatisfaction with the building she had moved into months prior. She felt the financial value of what she was paying didn’t match the quality. She moved again six months later. 8 years later, she faced similar themes.

During this retrograde, it may bring people or news about people from the past. More specifically, the type of people it may draw would be based on the themes of the house Venus transits.

The entire chart needs evaluation, considering the natal position of Venus. Therefore, below is a general bumper-sticker interpretation.

1st House: A focus on self-image, personal style, and self-expression. It may be a time when you reevaluate your appearance, identity, and how you present yourself to others. Relationship re-evaluation emphasis: Relationship with yourself. This is the time to evaluate how well you take care of yourself and how you define self-love.

2nd House: This placement may bring a reassessment of your values, financial matters, and material possessions. It can be a time to reflect on your relationship with money and how you derive pleasure and security from material things. Relationship re-evaluation emphasis: Your self-worth, security, belongings, and banking institution.

3rd House: Venus retrograde in the 3rd house may affect communication, relationships with siblings or neighbors, and short trips. It could be a period when you revisit conversations, clarify misunderstandings, or reconsider your relationships with close acquaintances. Relationship re-evaluation emphasis: Relationship with siblings, neighbors, and community members.

4th House: With Venus retrograde in the 4th house, there may be a need to reevaluate your family dynamics, home environment, and sense of emotional security. You might find yourself revisiting past family issues or reflecting on your definition of home and comfort. Relationship re-evaluation emphasis: The nurturing parent, ancestors, home, and country.

5th House: This placement may influence matters of romance, creativity, and self-expression. It could be a time to reconsider your approach to love, artistic projects, or hobbies. Past romantic interests might resurface during this period. Relationship re-evaluation emphasis: Your children and lovers.

6th House: Venus retrograde in the 6th house can affect your work, daily routines, and health. It may be a time when you reassess your job satisfaction and work-life balance or take a closer look at your well-being and self-care practices. Relationship re-evaluation emphasis: Your pets, co-workers, tenants (if applicable), and employees.

7th House: Relationships, partnerships, and marriage are highlighted. It may bring a need to reevaluate your relationship dynamics, patterns, and commitments. Past relationships may come back into focus. Relationship re-evaluation emphasis: Your partner, attorney, doctor, agent, and banker.

It may be a time when you delve into psychological or hidden matters, reevaluate financial investments, or confront fears around vulnerability. Relationship re-evaluation emphasis: Partner’s income, sex, traumas, fears, and those who have passed.

9th House: Venus retrograde in the 9th house can influence your beliefs, spirituality, higher education, and travel. It may bring a need to reconsider your philosophical perspectives, revisit past educational endeavors, or reflect on the meaning and purpose of life. Relationship re-evaluation emphasis: In-laws, mentors, teachers, foreigners, and foreign countries.

10th House: This placement can affect your career, public image, and reputation. It may be a time when you reassess your professional goals, reconsider your ambitions, or reflect on your public persona and how it aligns with your authentic self. Relationship re-evaluation emphasis: Boss, authority figures, authoritative parent, and children’s co-workers.

11th House: Venus retrograde in the 11th house may influence friendships, social networks, and community involvement. It can be a time to reevaluate your social circle, reconnect with old friends, or reconsider your involvement in group activities or organizations. Relationship re-evaluation emphasis: Friends, acquaintances, stepchildren, and foster children.

12th House: This placement can bring a focus on spirituality, introspection, and hidden matters. It may be a time when you confront unresolved emotional issues, revisit past experiences, or engage in introspective practices such as meditation or therapy. Relationship re-evaluation emphasis: Secret relationships, relationship with your unconscious, private time, and inner life.

Remember that these are general interpretations, and the specific effects of Venus retrograde through the houses can vary based on your unique birth chart and other astrological factors.

Let’s explore more personalized insights into how Venus retrograde may impact your life.

Venus Retrograde 3/1-4/12

Venus retrograde happens approximately every 18 months; Venus appears to move in reverse through the zodiac. This period typically lasts for about 40 to 43 days.

The effects of the upcoming Venus Retrograde 3/1-4/12 are in effect as Venus has started to slow down.  Astrologically, Venus is associated with love, relationships, beauty, harmony, and finances, so its retrograde motion influences these areas.

In astrology, Venus retrograde is often seen as a time for introspection and reevaluation of our relationships, values, and personal aesthetics. It is considered a period when issues related to love, partnerships, and money may come to the forefront. People may experience challenges or delays in their romantic relationships or encounter difficulties in matters of the heart. It is also believed that Venus retrograde can bring back past lovers or unresolved relationship issues. 

 During this period, it is generally advised to avoid making significant relationship or financial decisions, as the energy of Venus retrograde may cloud judgment. It can be a time for reflection, self-care, and addressing any underlying issues within relationships. It is recommended to focus on self-love, personal growth, and exploring one’s values and desires.  Relationships during this time will be re-evaluated.  Are your needs fulfilled?  This is a classic time to restructure your loving nature.  Usually, a lack of warmth takes place during Venus Retrograde periods whereby relationships can turn to ice. 

This upcoming retrograde will resemble the Venus retrograde from March-April 2017 and March-April 2009.  The difference is that Venus in that period was in aspect to different planets. 

Go through cabinets and closets.  You may discover rarely used items that can be used in other capacities.  For example, if you find a container that was intended for holding jewelry, you may repurpose it as a coin holder in your car.  Though that may seem trivial, this retrograde is excellent to declutter. 

Ironically, Venus Retrograde rules antiques. Check the value of items before tossing them.  There could be a hidden gem buried. 

Items remain expensive. This is not the type to purchase major items (appliances, equipment, etc…) I have observed the construction of an apartment building on a Venus Retrograde.  In 18 months it was launched for tenants to lease.  Unfortunately, it was on a Venus Retrograde.  The rents were blown out of proportion.  The building remains 75% unoccupied.  This scenario will require a change in management.    Mind the stock market as there may be sharp twists. This is not the time to make major changes.

Depending on the location Venus is retrograde in your chart will give you insight as to how it impacts you more directly.  Next time, I will cover Venus retrograde through each house in the chart.

Chaotic T Square Alert

Between now through May 25, expect a major world event to take place.  The news sensationalizes spectacles.  Hidden information reaches the surface, especially with past and present political figures.  I would never forecast a major catastrophe; however, they typically occur with such aspects.  Some Astrologers would justify Mars exiting from the Out of Bounds placement from Cancer to dramatic Leo as a major event.

At the start of the week, Jupiter has been Square to PlutoMars has reached the point to aspect both planets.  A T-square is an aspect pattern formed by three planets or points that create a configuration resembling the letter “T” when connecting their positions in the birth chart.  It involves two planets in opposition (180 degrees apart) and a third planet or point squaring (90 degrees) both of the opposing planets. The T-square configuration creates a dynamic and challenging energy that often requires attention and integration.  The planet at the end of the T has to carry out the mission to make the Opposite planets balance each other out. 

Currently, the Writers Guild is on strike.  Expect the situation to worsen before improving.  Asserting action is needed.  The volatility of Mars square Pluto can be devastating, combative, explosive, and violent.

Legal enforcement, generosity, and foreign aid may be needed. Brutal force is applied.  Stock markets dip during this period. There may be some type of warfare, fire, explosion, gun issues (again),  environmental, weather, earthquake, and volcano type of major eruption. 

Personal and business relationships can break down.  Whether there are problems with an airline or just general travel chaos, these next few days may bring some headlines.

The opposition in the T square creates a polarity between two areas of life, while the square aspect intensifies the dynamic by adding further conflict or obstacles. This configuration indicates areas of friction and difficulty and areas where growth and resolution are needed.  This presents an opportunity for self-awareness, self-reflection, and finding ways to integrate and balance the opposing energies.

This T square is in fixed signsMars will be in Leo, Pluto is in Aquarius, and Jupiter is in Taurus.  A fixed T square signifies strong will and determination, resistance to change, frustrated inner tension, the manifestation of willpower, and the need for flexibility and adaptability.

Understanding the planets in aspect adds details.  Below is a bumper sticker version of the aspects; an entire book can be written about each aspect

Mars Square Jupiter:  Expansive energy and ambition.  Jupiter represents growth, expansion, and opportunities, while Mars represents drive, ambition, and assertiveness. When these two planets form a square aspect, it can indicate a strong desire for success, achievement, and taking action to pursue your goals. You may feel a surge of enthusiasm and motivation to go after what you want.  There is a tendency towards excess and impulsiveness, the conflict between expansion and restraint, conflict resolution aiding personal growth, and a tendency towards excess and impulsiveness.

Mars opposite PlutoMars represents assertiveness, ambition, and aggression, while Pluto symbolizes power, control, and deep transformation. When these two planets are in opposition, there can be a clash between personal desires (Mars) and deeper, subconscious motivations (Pluto). This aspect often brings about power struggles, conflicts, intense interactions with others, and intensity and emotional depth. 

Jupiter Square Pluto:  Power struggles and control issues, deep transformation and regeneration, tension between expansion and transformation, urges for control by excessive behavior, and rebirth through resilience.

In your personal life, this can give you courage to conquer goals and obstacles.  However, the dramatic reactions may hurt.  Careful with heated confrontations. 

In politics and business, security forces possibly with military, may conduct secret operations the use of powerful forces and weapons are involved.  Police and military brutality is highlighted.  Mayhem erupts. 

Finally, on a positive note, Jupiter is at the end of the T square, which can bring changes in ethics that turn into a favorable outcome.  Basically, in order to expand/heal (Jupiter), there needs to be a major conflict.

Mercury Retrograde 4/1-4/25

During Mercury retrograde in Aries, expect turbulence and volatility. Aries, known for its direct and forceful communication style, amplifies these traits, often leading to heated disputes fueled by emotions and obscure facts.

In such times, it’s vital to maintain composure when expressing thoughts and emotions. With Mercury retrograde in Aries, tensions can flare up rapidly, demanding a measured approach to communication to prevent misunderstandings and unnecessary conflicts.

Making decisions before thinking thoroughly is classic with Mercury in Aries. But on a positive note, retrograde, the thinking process kicks in to full gear.

Practice active listening to avoid talking over others, fostering a conducive environment for meaningful dialogue. Email communication may prove advantageous, allowing for reflection before conveying thoughts.

On April 15, Mercury retrograde conjuncts Chiron offering words that heal, however, it can also hurt.

April 19 sees Mercury retrograde conjuncts Venus. This encourages heartfelt expressions despite challenges in finding the right words.

On April 25, Mercury retrograde conjuncts the North Node for the final time which facilitates a cleared assessment of future prospects.

In astrology, Mercury is associated with communication, technology, and travel.  When it goes into retrograde, communication can become more difficult, misunderstandings and delays can occur, and technology and transportation may experience more glitches and breakdowns.

Financial negotiations may be stalled.  Previous budgeting strategies may undergo re-evaluation.  You may either repurpose possessions that were sitting in a cabinet.  Technical glitches may occur or the lifespan of equipment may reach its finality.

This is not the time to apply for a loan, mortgage, credit card, etc.  Although it is an ideal period for reflecting on your financial goals and reviewing finances, save your ideas for execution until Mercury turns direct.  By then, you will have more ideas or information. 

Everyone is impacted by retrograde Mercury.  Depending on the location of where Mercury is transiting through your chart determines the area of life. This is based on your full chart which is determined by your hour of birth as well as your date and location of birth.

Mars Retrograde

December 6, 2024-February 23, 2025

Each Mars retrograde differs based on the sign it occurs in. Currently, this Mars retrograde begins in the sign of Leo. The previous time Mars was retrograde in this position was between December 2009 and March 2010. While there are similarities, this retrograde will also move back into the sign of Cancer.

Reflect on what was happening in your life during the previous retrograde, as similar themes may arise. There is an emphasis on how assertively, passionately, and confidently you act and express yourself.

Expression and Barriers: Are you putting up walls? What might be hiding behind those walls? These are important questions to explore during this time.

Mars retrograde occurs approximately every 26 months and lasts for 70 to 80 days. Projects may stall, and energy levels can feel lower than usual. Impulsive actions and unrecognized anger can lead to arguments or accidents. Sexual activity may also feel less fulfilling or encounter challenges.

Textbooks suggest that suppressed frustrations can build up, leading to explosive, “volcano-like” emotional outbursts. Individuals may respond to setbacks with anger or violence rather than patience and dialogue. However, this retrograde also encourages deep introspection and transformative shifts, especially concerning communication.

This retrograde may lead to procrastination in communication, with assertive behaviors becoming more introspective. Passive-aggressive tendencies may surface, and you may encounter individuals who lack drive or fail to follow through on commitments.

Avoid Starting New Ventures. Launching a business or major project during this time can result in ongoing struggles, with actions progressing at a frustratingly slow pace.

Patience and re-evaluation: Instead of forcing progress, focus on refining plans, resolving hidden frustrations, and building inner strength.

Mars retrograde offers a chance to step back, reassess, and transform. By working with its energy constructively, you can prepare for a more productive and empowered phase ahead.

More importantly, steer away from major repairs, especially automotive repairs or purchasing a new vehicle.

Avoid surgery during a Mars retrograde. Since Mars governs destruction, deconstruction may become more understood after Mars turns direct. If an electronic gadget breaks down, a repair job will not cure the issue. A repair job during a Mars retrograde may result in another repair being needed. However, after the retrograde has ended, the problem can be better understood. Repair jobs include surgery. Avoid surgery during this timeframe if possible.

Nevertheless, being born with a Mars retrograde is much different from experiencing one during the cycle. A well-aspected Mars retrograde in an individual’s birth chart can produce a lot of success. Energy and initiative are internalized (retrograde). Usually, an individual competes with themselves. Many athletes are born with a well-aspected Mars retrograde. When Mars is aspected with challenging aspects, individuals may act hastily and often need to retrace and redo their steps.

There could be difficulties, arguments, and disagreements related to legal matters, religion, travel, and interactions with someone who may be very philosophical and/or have a very strong opinion. During this time, it would be wise to frame your intentions as a visionary. Keep the bigger picture in mind, especially when asserting your opinion as dogma.

One’s sexual drive during a Mars retrograde can change significantly. It has been stated that the level of satisfaction during a Mars retrograde can be difficult to achieve.

Political issues will be exaggerated in the news. Fires, possible protests, and “acts of God” will also be prominent themes. Hurricanes, floods, and possible earthquakes are strongly associated with this period.

During this cycle, there are likely to be upheavals. Scandalous battles may arise between presidential candidates. This is a strong placement for assault—verbal, physical, emotional, etc.

Technological breakdowns may occur, with website outages and security breaches making headlines, especially in the travel industry. Avoid major purchases of any kind if possible.

Fortunately, this cycle lasts only 80 days every 2 ½ years. On February 23, 2025, this retrograde will be completed.

In general, this is not the time to look at new property, start a new job, or begin a new business plan.
