Venus Retrograde in 2010

Venus retrograde

Venus is Retrograde in 2010 from October 8 to November 18, starting from Scorpio and ending in Libra. Venus Retrograde occurs every twenty months or so when it appears as though it is traveling backward but it is just an apparent reverse motion – it doesn’t really move in reverse. It is seen that way from our perspective. This Venus retrograde starts in Scorpio and ends in Libra. The goddess of love is just taking things a bit slow.  Just like mercury  retrograde is a good time to plan and not start  or sign any paperwork, Venus retrograde is a good time for evaluating relationships,  and money matters and not take any serious action with regards people or finance.  Interestingly, Venus was Conjunct Mars in Scorpio for quite some time which is about passion, intimacy and depth of relationships.  Now Mars is moving on while Venus starts retrograding in Scorpio on October 8th – it is as if now Venus has the time to digest all that passion and intensity and is now ready to evaluate it on her own terms.  

Venus is  about values and hence evaluate your belief system for flaws and misjudgements – maybe a time to adjust them as we invariably act according to our beliefs.    Do you believe in keeping friends even when they have panned out not so trustworthy (to avoid conflicts)?  Relationships are not perfect but do you know what kind of behaviors is absolutely not acceptable to you?  What do you think of lending or borrowing money from friends, especially if this has affected your relationships in the past?  These are some examples of the type of questions that are good to ask during Venus retrograde. Maybe your partner is not ideal but have you looked at both the benefits and loss of being in this relationship?  Also since this retro is starting in Scorpio, the issues may revolve around jealousy, sex, passion, manipulation, revenge, etc. Venus retrograde period is a good time for evaluating close relationships.  With values, there are no rights or wrongs but the decision you make has a consequence and it is up to you decide if you can live with them.

Venus retro is a good time for evaluation, but not for taking any action based on them; it is advisable to wait for Venus to turn forward before acting upon your decisions.  Venus retrograde in 2010 will start in Scorpio and end in Libra, both are very relationship oriented signs, so this is definitely a good time to reason on your relationships in a deep (Scorpio) and fair (Libra) manner.   Scorpio is about the intense and passionate aspects of being in a relationship while Libra is about the harmonizing and social aspects of relationship.

In Scorpio, Venus is not afraid to dwell into ugly stuff and dig a little deep, but Venus in Libra is more refined and is willing to negotiate for the sake of harmony and peace.  So this retrograde is a good time to start deep and then look at all that you have dug out in an intellectual and rationale way with the ultimate goal of finding a fair solution which will make any Libra happy. Venus retrograde may bring out issues in the open with our friends and loved ones, wherein we are forced to look at our flaws in the way we relate.  On October 29th, Sun  will conjunct Venus in 5 degree Scorpio; this is a great time to find awareness in Venus matters.
