Retrograde planets in natal. Damaged Venus in the horoscope. Love in the natal chart

A whole library has already been written about the retrograde movement of planets. Even a person far from astrology has heard about a certain retro Mercury, during which nothing can be done. A huge number of fables and fictions revolve around this topic. From this article you will learn what retro planets are and how to use their influence to your advantage.

What do retro planets mean in natal astrology?

In natal astrology, the retro movement gives the planet a feminine, passive, introverted nature. The planet seems to withdraw into itself; it is difficult for it to manifest itself openly. But in peace and quiet, when you don’t have to run anywhere, the retro planet has no equal.

Retrograde itself means return, repetition. Therefore, the retro planet may not be realized the first time. Such a planet needs more time to show itself.

For example, it will be difficult for the owner of retro Mercury to learn information the first time; he needs to know all the subtleties and details. At the same time, the quality of Mercury itself does not deteriorate. That is, retro Mercury cannot be called stupid. Yes, he doesn’t always have time to grasp information on the fly, but he does it efficiently.

For whom will retro planets be especially important?

Retrograde movement is especially important for the personal planets: Mercury, Venus and Mars. The Sun and Moon always move forward and cannot enter the retro phase. A retrograde personal planet shows some peculiarity of character or personality.

For example, retro Mars - the native is not aggressive by nature, but if pushed too far, he will break through the walls with his forehead.

The retrograde movement of social and higher planets has a greater effect on the event level and is not reflected in any way on the psychology of the individual.

If the ruler of a House is retrograde, then this means that the affairs of this House will not work out immediately and will require more time to be implemented.

The retrograde of a planet is its phase, its state. Therefore, retrograde categorically cannot be considered a defeat.

And now I will analyze personal retro planets in more detail.

Mercury retrograde

Introvert, passive thinking. Slowly but efficiently learns, it is difficult to perceive something new. Conservative in thinking. A person thinks a lot about the past, it is difficult for him to look into the future. Such people have the effect that brilliant thoughts come a little late. Good figurative memory, but forgetful of facts.

Mercury retrograde does not mean speech impairment at all! This will be indicated in the chart by tense aspects from malefics and Saturn.

Retro Mercury works well with writing, working alone or in complete silence.

Venus retrograde

Difficulty understanding your feelings. At the event level, it often gives a return to past relationships. Difficulty opening up and trusting your partner. There are a lot of memories of the past from the “the world used to be kinder” series.

For men, relationships can have the effect of a broken record: then the union breaks, then everyone loves each other again.

A woman with retro Venus may not accept for a long time or be afraid to reveal her feminine nature.

Retro Venus often gives the ability to perceive art and creativity with particular sensitivity.

Retrograde Mars

A difficult situation, since the retro phase contradicts the explosive and active energy Mars. Difficulty starting to do something. The native can spend a very long time preparing, preparing, preparing... and never begin. But if it does start up, it will be for a long time. Therefore, people with retro Mars are excellent performers, but poor initiators.

It is often difficult for a person with retro Mars to express himself and defend his opinion. A lot of suppressed aggression, self-destruction and self-flagellation.

A woman with retro Mars can build her life for a very long time, from the series “I’m going on my hundred and first date with my beloved.” Relationships with a man can develop slowly, but here you need to look at additional instructions from the chart (Sun, VII House).

Conclusion

Don't be afraid of your retrograde planets, learn to work with them. A well-developed and correctly directed retro planet always brings very great and unusual results.

And if you want to work well on your retro planets, plunge into an atmosphere of mystery, find like-minded people, become confident in the future and simply get a new fashionable profession in which you can make good money, go to our school!

The material contains excerpts from the book “Retrograde Planets and Reincarnation” by Martin Shulman.

Venus, the ruler of love, beauty and harmony, is symbolized by the circle of Spirit above the cross of Matter. A person with Venus retrograde acts less in life than reacts to it. He is noticeably different from a person with a directly moving Venus. There is a tendency here to create grievances and wounds inside, working them out internally, which a directly moving Venus would try to work off externally. Often, Venus retrograde not only creates these hurts and wounds, but also tends to exaggerate their effect. Excessive emphasis is placed on the shortcomings of love in an individual's life. For such a person, the path of love does not flow smoothly.

Overly shy, he usually doubts whether people pay attention to him. Not always sure of his likes and dislikes, he experiences a discrepancy between his life and its awareness. He may be deeply in love and not realize it until years after the relationship ends. There is always a difficulty with the opposite sex, since the individual tends to subconsciously pre-program his future relationships so that they fit into the patterns of his past.

This position corresponds to great uncertainty, since the individual constantly tries to be equal to the people with whom his path intersects. But in doing this, he half-consciously continues to alienate others from himself, so that no one will truly know him deeply enough to threaten the little security and reliability on which he has based his identity. In this position, the individual blocks himself from happiness by trying too hard to achieve it.

Venus retrograde - karma

When Venus is retrograde, the individual carries with him a misunderstanding of love in past life. The mental pain was so intense that he is now cutting himself off from fully experiencing the richness of love because he is afraid of being hurt again. Whether it is a man or a woman, in the current life there is great difficulty in relationships with the opposite sex.Trying to live in the present, he endlessly creates anew the past memory of love in a previous incarnation, which continues to elude him. He reacts to the present as if he were actually living in his past.

In men's charts, this sometimes indicates karma associated with homosexuality. For the latter type of man, life revolves around male buddies. Under the pretext of visiting clubs, associations, etc. he avoids the company of women. He may function respectably in society, but he is still a latent homosexual. Less often we find similar reactions in women with Venus retrograde.The most prominent karmic pattern is that the individual, whether male or female, has a strong tendency to distrust most offers of love, feeling that those who make these offers usually have ulterior motives.

Three phases of a retrograde planet

There is no doubt that retrograde planets create a completely different force field for the individual than planets in direct motion. The general tendency for an individual is that he tries to use his retrograde planets in exactly the same way as he uses his planets in direct motion. And when this does not work, he begins to split himself into various unrelated states, which can end in general suffering.

With planets in direct motion, it is very easy for an individual to shift the emphasis of the planetary energy within himself from moment to moment. However, when he tries to do this with his retrograde planets, he faces a completely different situation. First, at any given time it is going through part of a three-phase retrograde process.

I. Jumps ahead of himself, trying to live in the future now;

II. In the process of experiencing the future, he experiences the feeling that he has already been there;

III. Repeats the first phase in the mind, so that one actually relives the experience of looking ahead into a future that has already happened.

When an individual is in Phase I(jumps ahead of himself, trying to live in the future now), it is almost impossible for him to use a retrograde planet negatively, as he tries to use all his energy to push him forward. In this Phase, he radiates energy in order to “magnetize” himself and attract himself to all people and circumstances that will bring about future experiences.

During Phase II(when he actually has the experience) the individual is often unaware of Phase I, where he actually caused it. But he experiences more lived feelings than individuals with a planet in direct motion. In other words, he has a feeling that he has experienced it before, but does not know exactly how, when or why. It is this contradiction that creates a cross vibration where he acts positively and negatively at the same time. One part of him positively radiates the desire to complete the experience, while the other negatively seeks to absorb the understanding of why this experience is repeated endlessly. Naturally, during this phase the individual will be least understood by other people.

Finally, in Phase III When an individual repeats the first phase in his mind, looking into a future that he has already experienced, he falls completely out of time synchronization with the rest of the world, as he tries once again to absorb the circumstances and individuals that will lead him back to his own past. During this phase he is the easiest to understand, but he is too draining of other people's energy as he emits virtually no energy.

Venus retrograde in zodiac signs

Venus retrograde in Aries

Here the individual feels most comfortable in Phase I of the retrograde process, when he lives in anticipation of creating all the feelings that will bring him self-respect. He is very shy and constantly worries about what other people think of him. He may become defensive when he feels that others are putting him in a difficult position. Therefore, he tends to spend a lot of time alone. He is very sensitive to other people's concepts of himself, and if someone's negative self-image might affect him, he quickly runs away in the other direction. One of his difficulties is his tendency to jump to conclusions about his feelings. He imagines his perceptions in advance, and instead of going with the flow, he formulates his attitude towards certain situations before he experiences them. However, he looks for these situations to check whether his formulations were accurate. Marriage is not an easy task for this individual, as a general lack of trust coupled with too much self-involvement prevents him from accepting the full wealth of another individual. The boredom he usually feels is not boredom from life or from another person, but rather from intense boredom from himself. Instead of facing this and understanding it, he often makes great efforts to fill his life with entertainment until he is ultimately convinced that he has nothing to do with his problem. The day he learns to love himself, his whole life will change. He works towards overcoming past karma in which he has established a disconnect between his own feelings and the collective feelings of others. It is the residue of this subtle alienation from people that causes him to run away from himself until he realizes that the entire construction of his positions in relation to himself and others exists only in his mind. Phase I keeps him in karma, but phases II and III show him the way home.


Venus retrograde in Taurus

Here the individual feels most comfortable during phase III of the retrograde process, when he can immerse himself in everything he has acquired in the past. He constantly identifies his sense of security and sense of self-worth with what he has done or absorbed subconsciously from past incarnations, as well as from every previous moment up to the present. In some cases, this individual is karmically tied to a love in a past life that was never fully realized. As a result, the quantity or quality of love in this life never really seems sufficient to fill the empty space left by such past relationships. He is accustomed to a feeling of absolute reliability and will not rest on love in this life, which offers him less. In his younger years he appears to be shy, and in his older years he withdraws into himself, silently begging other people to get him out of it. He wants someone to reach out to him, but he doesn't want to admit it. He tries to quietly attract others to himself, but at the same time he is afraid of them. His biggest problem is that he tries to crystallize certain feelings into initial stage of his life and, as the years and circumstances of experience fly by, desperately tries to apply past feelings to each new situation. When this doesn't work, he begins to subconsciously believe that at least part of the world is passing him by. His expectations of relationships with the opposite sex are unusually unrealistic due to the powerful self-deception that he has held onto for many years. If any individual can silently pick up chip after chip until he is actually carrying an invisible tree, then it is a person with Venus retrograde in Taurus.


Venus retrograde in Gemini

Here the individual spends a lot of time trying to find out what other people think about him. He often changes his likes and dislikes to act in concert with whoever he is with at that moment, because he needs feedback to understand the parts of himself that he believes he likes. As a result, his life becomes more oriented toward acceptance and approval than toward purpose. Due to the mutable qualities of Gemini, this retrograde planet can function during all three phases, but Venus here never fully acquires the personal wealth it is trying to establish. Instead, everything happens on mental levels, and a person's love is ultimately based on ideas and concepts rather than personal feelings. Because of love's ability to constantly re-identify itself according to other people's evaluations, this individual will be less affected by himself than most other people. He tends to focus most of his life on the ideas of other people, which he least understands. As a result, his relationships will leave him confused.

Bato Dugarzhapov "End of April", impressionism

Having difficulties with the opposite sex, he looks for reasons within himself to explain the discomfort he feels in their company.The problem is that his mental part (Gemini) has dual masculine qualities, while his feeling part (Venus retrograde) is naturally feminine. The mixing of the two creates a cross vibration that leads to insecurity when faced with sexual situations. All human creatures are part male and part female, but the fickle qualities of Gemini, with the influence of the retrograde effect during the formative childhood years, make it difficult for an individual to establish a core sexual identity in which he can firmly believe. However, as he gets older and experiences some of his childhood concepts, he changes his mental constructs and comes to a new understanding of his place in humanity. Ultimately, he views love not as sexual in general, but rather as a universal recognition of one's kinship with humanity. To achieve this, he must overcome the karma of a past life in which he had difficulty identifying the male and female parts in himself. In his current life, he subconsciously tries to satisfy both parts until he realizes that his identity is not based on either of them. Rather, its basis is the interaction of positive and negative energies which, when mixed, are the source of all creative thinking I.

Venus retrograde in Cancer

Here the individual is most comfortable in phase III of the retrograde process, when he constantly relives his early childhood role in relationships with his parents. In a man, this can mean a strong “Oedipus complex” in which he never really understood his love for his mother. Its counterpart in women is called the “Electra complex.” In any case, the individual continues to prove that he wants to be his own master, but at the same time does not really know how to free himself from the need for protection that he needed in childhood. He experiences the karma of addiction, and every step into the future brings him closer and closer to the womb that he never wanted to leave. He reconstructs his life with people who represent all of his early childhood conflicts. He doesn't know how to free himself from these conflicts. One of his biggest problems is that he bases his feelings and reactions to people on past memories. Unfortunately, he becomes trapped in more and more karma every time he does this. In marriage, he projects early feelings for his parents onto his marriage partner. In some cases, he even chooses a partner who reminds him of his parent of the opposite sex. By basing his opinion of himself too much on what his elders think of him, he must learn to work on developing an appreciation of his own worth. All his feelings are based on seeing the world through a “family-like” structure. This provides a protective shell from which he can sneak glances at everything he sees around him. Interestingly enough, he at the same time complains that this shell is holding him back from experiencing everything he would like to. However, his greatest strength comes later in life, when it becomes important to him to give his own children and grandchildren all the security and comfort on which his values ​​were built.

Venus retrograde in Leo

Here the individual is most comfortable during phase I of the retrograde process. Having an unusually strong power complex, he mentally projects himself into everything he does. When he is inspired, he can transfer a lot of power to others, but he is not always sure of their sincerity and tends to silently evaluate them. He sometimes tests Other People to see if they are worthy of his company. As a result, he takes on more than he actually needs. But at the same time, this artificial burden increases his sense of self-respect. By playing the role of a martyr, he may convince himself that he is carrying a cross, giving love that is not appreciated. His biggest problem is that he wants to command and lead, but the retrograde vibration does not always produce the effects in others that he tries too hard to achieve. During Phase I, he can actually intimidate other people with the strength of his directness and forward-looking attitude. Then, feeling the negative reaction he caused, he pulls himself away from the people he wanted to be close to rather than admit that he caused the overreaction. This position of Venus is less harmful to the individual than to those people who sincerely want to associate closely with him and find it difficult. He brings karma with him into this life, which involves him in constant self-demonstration. And the more he exposes himself, the less he is able to experience the richness of interacting with other people on an equal basis.

Venus retrograde in Virgo

This is one of the most difficult positions for Venus retrograde, as the individual brings with him a very high ideal of love into this life. As a result, he never fully experiences this feeling with the people he is involved with, since none of them live up to his expectations. He subconsciously evaluates the shortcomings that he feels and sees in others. Because of this, he is not only reluctant to experience love, but when he does feel love, he continues to pick it apart until the feelings become just a collection of analytical theories. It remains the longest in phase III of the retrograde process. Here he acts as an introvert out of fear that others will hurt him. In fact, this individual experiences karma. He is forced to understand human weakness, since the perfection of love, although it is the ideal to which we all strive, is not to be counted on as a reality in human conditions. It is in this third phase that the individual questions why none of his past relationships satisfied his needs. And it is precisely this structure of thinking - “making love work” - that keeps the individual from figuring out what the experience of love really is. Due to the retrograde action of the planet, the individual has to evaluate the shortcomings of others, and since he directs the energy inward, he tends to transfer this karma to himself. As a result, he constantly finds flaws in himself and believes that in the eyes of others he should be better. He must learn to see himself clearly and love himself, not from the point of view of all the ideals that have crystallized in his mind, but from the corresponding perspective of the reality of the world in which he lives.

Venus retrograde in Libra

Ruling Venus feels here more home than in any other position. As an individual moves from one retrograde phase to another with the help of the people he meets, he begins to feel more needed. His concept of love is very romantic and depends more on ideas or things that people imagine than on satisfying their own physical tastes and needs. Some people with this placement experiment with homosexuality as their need for love tries to rise above the conventions of social tradition. Subconscious stubbornness and self-will manifest themselves in almost everything that an individual does. He will give to those who did not ask, to serve if no one ordered, he will be obedient if no one demanded. He does not respond well to force, pressure, or demands from others. His natural personality is to calmly seek out other people's needs and be helpful enough to satisfy them. On a very deep level, he is not at all sure of what he really wants for himself. He is in a constant state of change, trying to adjust himself to what seems to satisfy others. By being aware of the psychological games that society plays, he may in fact be one of the most skilled players. He will convince himself that some people cannot live without him, when in fact this is a projection of his own need for the opposite. He can be happy satisfying himself with almost anyone who meets his subconscious needs, because he never really connects with others, but simply divides himself in half and then uses another individual as a mirror for the part of himself with which he wants to identify at this moment, makes friends, talks and even makes love - with himself! His karma is rooted in balancing his value system through relationships, and only when he is confident in this will he calm down and truly support the idea he loves most.

Venus retrograde in Scorpio

This is a very difficult position for Venus retrograde, as the Scorpio urge continues to push the individual past his own satisfaction. He never feels satisfied, but rather feels like everything he is looking for is just around the next corner or buried in the next well in his mind. Spending a lot of time in Phase I, he seeks future satisfaction, but unfortunately continues to think that he will find his ideal in another person, place or situation, and not in the deepest recesses of his own existence. He is very jealous and secretive in love, and at the same time intensely interested in the personal feelings of other people. Essentially, everything he sees in others makes it difficult for him to experience what he is looking for in himself. He goes through long periods when he believes his frustration is sexual, but it goes much deeper than that. The fact is that in past incarnations he experienced an experience that made him dislike himself on a subconscious level. He feels alienated from the ideals he perceives in himself, and no matter how hard he tries, he is unable to convince himself of his own worth. When this pattern continues, his behavior only reinforces his inner feelings of failure and distances him from everything he truly wants. In some cases, the root of the problem may be a love in a past life on which he relied and in which he was ultimately disappointed. If so, then usually this experience is repeated early in this life. It is difficult for him to feel completely free with the opposite sex, and until he looks into himself, he can come up with many reasons for this. However, at the deepest levels, he does not allow himself to become vulnerable to others because he has experienced pain in the past. For people with this placement of Venus, it is important to learn to forgive, but the individual must understand that forgiveness is not possible without forgetting. In this position, the individual can function during all three retrograde phases, but his most great evolution occurs during Phase III, when, by re-evaluating all that he has experienced, he is able to transcend the feelings of the lower karmic levels in his past.

Venus retrograde in Sagittarius

This is a very lonely position for Venus retrograde. The individual values ​​freedom more than the personal intimacy that Venus promises. Here Phase I of the retrograde process is emphasized, so that the individual continues to be mentally transported from one rainbow to another, never remaining long enough in one place to allow Venus to absorb the full vibration of his surroundings. He does not readily accept advice from others. This individual is the most experienced among the representatives of other zodiac positions, but at the same time he feels that he is still missing something. This is also a difficult position for a marriage. Often the reason for divorce is too restless nature. It is difficult to satisfy everything that an individual feels he needs, and as a result he often confuses others. He views the world as a giant kaleidoscope with countless offerings to try, and he never likes to get too deeply involved in anything. The quantity of life experience becomes more important than the quality. As his higher mind wanders the far reaches of the universe, searching for a place where he can feel at home, the individual ignores the bird in the hand, looking for the pie in the sky. His ideals from previous lives are high, and although he may not always live up to them, he continues to seek out people, places, and circumstances that make him feel closer to those past idealistic experiences. He usually feels his own worth, has a fairly strong ego and keeps it healthy despite being immersed in what life has to offer. Although this position is difficult for long-term intimate relationships, it gives the individual an unusually vivid scope of life experience. In past incarnations, he learned to develop a natural sense of the world around him, which he now relies on much more than the words of teachers.

Venus retrograde in Capricorn

In this position, Venus usually indicates marriage with an older partner or with an individual symbolizing authority from the past. Sometimes the marriage partner recalls limitations imposed in childhood, and at other times it brings forward limitations placed on the individual in a past life. The most comfortable period for the individual is phase III, in which the previous times are repeated. They represent security and confidence when the individual seeks to re-experience a protective relationship. This is a collector of antiques or something memorable from previous historical times, or even people, which symbolizes his need to bring something to its necessary completion. His life is filled with all kinds of forms, since everything that he feels, he wants to crystallize within himself in order to satisfy the feeling of reliability. He may seem mature for his age in his youth, but at the same time he always internally protests against all restrictions on his freedom. He holds on to thoughts, ideas and feelings (including negative ones) for many years and tends to deny himself pleasure or happiness during the first half of life, hoping for some greater prospect at another time. However, as he gets older, he begins to realize how much he tried to recreate his past and how much it bound him. Then he changes radically and becomes more practical in terms of his own needs. All this time he feels out of tune with people his age. In essence, he lives his life in reverse, experiencing the burdens of old age at a young age and the freedom of youth at an old age. This position of Venus is one of the horoscope indicators of family karma. The discrepancy comes from the past incarnation and is repeated during the younger years in this life - the individual spends most of his time running away from himself, and then about halfway through life, when he realizes this, he tries to compensate for everything that he has missed.

Venus retrograde in Aquarius

This is where the individual feels most comfortable during Phase I of the retrograde process. He can explore the needs that he senses glimpses of before they become real in his life. At times he can become commanding and overbearing in his desire to help others, sometimes unintentionally getting in their way. He is very independent and does not easily accept restrictions. His attachments are distributed among so many things, people and circumstances that those close to him cannot focus their energy. Much of this scattering, however, is simply a reflection of his highly volatile nature. He tends to be overly sensitive to his surroundings and must change his approach to life in order to feel balanced.

Bato Dugarzhapov "Aphrodite",
and impressionism

He can be a rebel, loves his freedom, does not tolerate people imposing their will on him. At the same time, he feels that he knows what is best for others. Thus, there appears to be a lack of perspective in his personal relationships. He has an insatiable interest in almost everything and tends to come into contact with some very strange people. Everything conventional and traditional is too boring for him to focus any lasting attention on it, but he needs a feeling of reliability and confidence. He is actually not very confident in himself and would not want others to know about it. During Phase I, he actively explores the unknown, while during Phase III, he re-explores unknown or little-used bits of knowledge from the past. It is during the third phase that many people with this Venus retrograde position enjoy researching ancient civilizations or little-known documents from other periods in history.

For many, this position brings great interest in astrology and esoteric subjects. If you remove all the artificial layers of an individual's life, he is a very lonely person. His selfless need to help other people is really the mask of his attempts to earn his way back into humanity, which in another incarnation for some reason rejected him. Thus, he never expects complete intimacy for any long period of time, but he is simply pleased to know that his beliefs and ideas are now accepted. And he will try his best just to earn that acceptance.

Venus retrograde in Pisces

Here the individual spends most of his time in phase III of the retrograde process, when he re-engages in the dream of love that has passed by. He is very lonely and silently feels that he is separated from the tangible reality to which he strives. In past incarnations he was very romantic and now continues to pull himself back into past fantasies. This person is unconventional, considers himself independent as long as he has someone to rely on. Much of what he experiences is a re-enactment of fairy tales with which he, being extremely impressionable, was identified as a child. But in fact, he begins to see this no earlier than mid-life. It is difficult to establish contact with this person, since his illusions prevent him from seeing himself. Every time his mirror is about to shatter, he creates new fantasies to free himself as much as possible from the restrictions he feels in his current reality. He does not feel comfortable in this incarnation, but does not want to realize that he himself chose the circumstances that surround him. It is easier for him to believe that life carried him along, at times even against his will. He is afraid of being at the mercy of people or circumstances that may at some point in the future make demands on him. Subconsciously he feels that he may not be able to meet these demands. So this is another reason to avoid your true inner feelings. This position of Venus retrograde tends towards masochism. Many situations are created in which the cosmic “I” is punished and at the same time the lower personal “I” is saddened.

The more a person allows past illusions to enter into his present feelings, the more he separates himself from whatever present feelings he says he wants to experience. In relationships with other people, he tends to go into the dull fog of Pisces, which he surrounds himself with as a buffer against the present. This is one of the most difficult positions for personal love. Essentially, a person must work his way through the karma of raising his expectations from the personal plane of the lower self and at that point begin to experience the Divine attunement on which he can base his reality. Many individuals with this placement have experienced the loss of personal love in a past incarnation. Now in this life, they subconsciously continue to look for aspects of this love in every person they meet, until one day they realize that their Soul has decided to transform itself, regardless of selfish needs. As a result, in this position, during phase III of the retrograde process, the person feels sadness, which turns into active giving to humanity when the individual selflessly “switches” to phase I.


Venus retrograde in the houses of the natal chart


Venus retrograde in the first house

This individual needs a lot of attention, but never feels completely satisfied. He is preoccupied with how he appears to others and is very self-centered, since feelings of self-love rise much higher on the conscious than on the subconscious level. While constantly seeking more attention, this individual experiences conflicting feelings about himself. Although he thinks of himself as a creature of love, he does not seem to understand how much love should be given to others. He gives too much or not enough. In general, the “amount of love” that he experiences when giving or receiving does not correspond to the situation. He wants to be allowed to live his own life, but he clings too much to others for fear of being alone. This conflict can cause numerous problems in relationships as well as in marriage. In his love experiences he goes through a three-phase retrograde process which continues to emphasize the positive or negative nature more according to the pattern of the phase he is in than to whether his reactions to the circumstances of his relationships with other people are justified. He will not necessarily be a giver in love, but can absorb a lot of love from others. He needs this for self-confidence. This position is most difficult during Phase II of the retrograde process - the need for harmony combined with the expression of unity within the first house cannot tolerate cross vibration for a long period of time. A person feels most at home in phase I, when expectations are raised to top level. Even in this phase, when he tries to emphasize his Venus positively to lead him into the future, he nevertheless experiences the naturally negative magnetic quality of Venus due to which he expects to be the recipient of love. The key to happiness in this position is based on realistic self-acceptance.

Venus retrograde in the second house

Here the individual is most comfortable during phase III, when Venus's characteristic absorption of rays recreates past experiences that offer the individual a sense of security. He is an extraordinary owner in relation to all past value systems. He loves to absorb the universe around him, as this again gives him the confidence and reliability that he is so used to feeling. He can be extremely materialistic, while trying to re-establish and strengthen all past feelings of self-worth. Having a strong tendency to repeat everything he loves, he becomes the creature of many habits. His need for reassurance on both a physical and material level is very great, so it is difficult for him to be too generous without feeling that he is losing something in the process. In this situation, the individual tries to contain within himself everything that he values ​​​​in the universe. In many cases, this increases the normal ownership of a second home. For all its reliability needs, it is not very competitive, since this position is characterized by a certain amount of laziness. The individual will experience difficulties with the opposite sex as a result of his possessive feelings or out of fear of becoming the property of another. He takes care of his affections, although internally he exaggerates his feelings. He likes to do things his own way. He may become angry if he feels that others are interfering with his ways of doing things. Many people with this placement become great craftsmen, but will always create something from the past. If an individual decides to make a living by creating elegant chariots in the twenty-first century, he will be a person with Venus retrograde in the second house. Here the individual experiences the karma of attachment to the love and comfort of a past life. This applies to people, objects and circumstances. In the present life his confidence and security are based on the continuity of form and matter.

Venus retrograde in the third house

This is a very difficult position for Venus, as the unpredictability of Gemini constantly throws the individual from one retrograde phase to another. The person seems to be out of sync in most of his relationships. His love is too much or too little compared to what he received from another individual. His love may run counter to the time dimension: he may experience great love to an individual, when just preparing to be with him, a rather low vibration during actual personal contact. He reaches the highest degree of love when he has already parted with this person - looking back and restoring him in memory. Thus, the individual experiences great problems in his love life and in relationships with other people, trying to live “here and now.” Forces outside of him are constantly acting on this retrograde Venus, creating conditions for which he is not yet ready or feels that they have already passed. Finding himself in such conditions in life, he tries to reconcile his feelings and mental activity. As a result, he spends a lot of time analyzing everything he feels. This is a bad position for marriage, as the mutable qualities of the third house continue to push the individual out of agreement with his own feelings. A person does not always mean what he says. He is more interested in the feelings he creates in the listener. He is essentially insecure, especially around people his own age. Very often, in order to feel accepted, he will say or do things that he knows are not his own, but that will give him the social acceptance and approval that he craves. His karma is connected with the feelings of people, as he tries to find ways to satisfy others as well as himself. This position of Venus is characterized by a large share of karmic loneliness. This individual may feel alone in a crowd.

Venus retrograde in the fourth house

and impressionism

Venus is well placed in the fourth house, enjoying a fair amount of comfort during all three retrograde phases. Although the last two phases may cause the individual to be somewhat introverted, this does not cause him too much discomfort. It's good to have someone of the opposite sex nearby to lean against - his concept of love always includes a certain degree of parental protection, which, although he may resent it externally, he really needs internally. He is spontaneous, like a child, and constantly restores the love he experienced in early years. This individual never completely outgrows his love and affection for the parent of the opposite sex. So he keeps trying to get back into the fold. He sometimes experiences fear of people, and as a result, he finds it more difficult to express his tendencies to the outside world than to close people whom he has known for a long period of time. It is difficult for him to understand strangers, because from the point of view of love, he views his world as one giant family - his own! Often he feels obligated to treat other people in the outside world as if they were truly his own family. This is done subconsciously, but it places a burden on him to limit the number of people and external situations in which he can feel comfortable. He makes his way through karma. According to it, he continues to repeat the experience of the beginning of love until he has enough confidence to believe that thanks to this he has the protection and security that he needed to be able to express it to the outside world.

Venus retrograde in the fifth house

Here the individual is most comfortable during phase I of the retrograde process. He usually has a very strong ego, which expresses itself through the creative process. As a result, he can sometimes overwhelm people with the enormous inner confidence he seems to possess. But this is actually not the case, since the combination of planet and house gives acting ability, which a person shows in the presence of other people to hide his shyness. He tends to project his feelings onto other people because he cannot bear rejection. However, he may reject other people when he feels that they are going to reject him. He rationalizes his decision by saying that they do not meet his standards. In some cases he is internally proud of himself, and others must strengthen this pride before he allows them into his circle. He will struggle to maintain his self-esteem and may often deny himself full enjoyment of life in an attempt to be worthy of the image he has created for himself. He feels best when he can help others whom he views as less capable than himself. Thus, some people with this planetary placement may take great pleasure in teaching self-expression to children with developmental delays or other individuals suffering from physical disabilities. One of the biggest difficulties with this placement of Venus is that the individual is constantly disappointed because his expectations are too unrealistic. He is unable to find the perfect person who can satisfy everything he thinks he needs. Thus, the main direction of his work is to fulfill the karmic lesson of satisfaction. He can grow significantly internally by realizing that his life is less dependent on other people than he believes. The dissatisfaction he feels in others is always the dissatisfaction he has created in himself. When he learns to expect less from life, he will realize the joy he seeks.

Venus retrograde in the sixth house

This is a very precarious position for sensitive Venus, since the individual always feels a sense of duty that constrains him. A person often experiences disappointment in relationships, especially in work-related areas. Although all retrograde phases are difficult, the individual feels more secure in the third phase, when he withdraws into himself, restrains his feelings and tries to explain everything that he is and what he thinks he should be to others. This saddens him internally and prevents him from functioning at his best. He should beware of extremes in his feelings, since subconsciously he believes that the world is a place of decay and disorder. He withdraws from other people because he doesn't quite understand how to deal with the imperfections he sees in them. One of his biggest problems is that he can allow his feelings to become computerized. He does this by pre-programming his relationships in order to calculate in advance how they will work. His approach to people is mechanical. He views every thought and action of another person as part of many moves in his planned chess game of life. He may do favors for others, but will only be satisfied if he knows that the debts will be repaid. Unfortunately, he tends to judge other people by what they do, measuring their actions and actions against his ideals. Thus, he lives by a double standard, not fully realizing that the ideals of all the people he knows may be as high as his own, and that their failure to live up to those ideals in his presence is a reflection of his own human weaknesses. He uses most of his energy by purifying and suppressing many of his needs. From this limited vantage point he deals with the karma of trying to create perfection in his environment. He must learn that the world is already perfect and that he cannot improve it. Somewhere between his perfect idealism and the unacknowledged needs of other people lies the balance that will bring him happiness.

Venus retrograde in the seventh house

This is one of the more unique positions for Venus retrograde. As the ruler of the seventh house, it can be very beneficial if the individual uses it to see the true reflection of himself in the eyes of those he loves. However, if he struggles with the fact that many of his ideas, thoughts and feelings seem to be rejected, and does not understand the reasons for this, then he may actually cause instability in the entire horoscope. His moods and feelings are controlled by the world around him; there is no boundary between the feelings that come from him and the feelings that he absorbs from others. As he slides from one retrograde phase to another, he takes on various identities, each directed towards himself, but none truly at his center. He is well aware that he can actually be “turned inside out,” losing his spontaneity, striving for others to think better about him. Essentially he is a supporter of extreme views. Within one day, he can completely “switch gears” to deliberately wanting to displease others. His feelings are like a pendulum, swinging from side to side with the wind of other people's feelings, always passing the center, but rarely stopping there. He is never quite sure of how he appears to other people. Extremely sensitive to his external environment, he first mixes with it, gets lost in it, and then runs away from it to recover. However, he does not like to do things alone and feels frustrated because he wants to know himself, but does not want to be completely separated from others. He experiences karma by recognizing unbalanced parts of himself through how others see him.

Venus retrograde in the eighth house

Here the individual spends a lot of time in Phase I of the retrograde process, when the passionate nature intensifies the need to achieve future satisfaction now. He feels a great inner intensity that is not easily released. Emotions of love are often associated with past anger and resentment directed at some individual or experience that brought back painful memories. He is extremely sensitive and does not like to be looked at by others. His ideals are very high, but if an individual is unable to realize his dream in real life, his actions may rush in the opposite direction. In sex, it fluctuates from periods of intense need to periods of complete lack of interest. His sexual stimulus is associated with a strong desire for possession. At times, he may secretly be jealous of others who seem to have more than him. He's hiding from own feelings, not wanting to face the wall he puts between his outer and inner life. With this position of Venus, a person is very impatient and irritable, as he experiences the depth of his own needs and at the same time feels the influence of the needs of other people. This brings conflict between the manner in which he treats society and how he truly feels. Often with this position of Venus, there is great resentment and resentment in a person’s life, as he feels deceived or deprived of much that he believes rightfully belongs to him. He struggles with many things and is jealous that other people can achieve the same goals with less effort. With this position of Venus, a person experiences a feeling of isolation from the world. He still has a past lost love in his soul. As a result, the individual finds it difficult to fully trust the people he meets in his current life because he subconsciously sees in each of them a symbolic part of the love that he was deprived of in the past.

Venus retrograde in the ninth house

Here the individual experiences a great need for personal freedom. He does not allow others to hinder him or crowd his space. In some people this situation manifests itself in great love to spiritual life. Isolated from the intense subjective qualities of social relations, he seeks peace within himself through his ability to remain out of the thick of things. This may manifest itself as a desire to retire to a monastery, climb mountains, or walk barefoot through the forest. Here the need for a sense of the enormity of life is great, and the individual often sacrifices intimacy with other people to satisfy this need. He is very independent and does not like to be stuck into the mold of other people's desires. At the same time, this is a very difficult position for marriage or any other long-term relationship, since in the ninth house the personal qualities of Venus are transferred to a “more cosmic” reality. Thus, an individual's sense of self-identity is of a different quality than that of most other people he encounters. Because he sees the ebb and flow of the general flow of life, he does not like to create permanent connections. He does many things without outside help. Numerous meetings await him with various people, most of whom, apparently, represent a philosophy completely alien to the ideas on which he was brought up. He seems to be difficult to understand, since the motives behind his ideas are unusual and different from those that motivate his contemporaries. This person may actually achieve a rare degree of calm in the midst of a world of chaos. At the same time, he cannot easily convey this to other people. In some cases, as a result of a past incarnation

and impressionism
he may be endowed with artistic talent. Whatever the lifestyle, he will experience a conflict between the feeling that he should be involved in the needs of society and the knowledge that there are many reasons not to do so. Karmically, he marches to the beat of another drummer. He brings with him into this life from the past a very strong desire to do what he likes, when he wants. He is easy to get along with, but impossible to possess, as his deeply ingrained instinct is to be a free spirit.

Venus retrograde in the tenth house

Here the individual spends a lot of time in phase III of the retrograde process. He loves to look back on the fulfillment of his aspirations and needs in life, to know that he is accepted by those whom he previously looked up to. He likes social approval, but he doesn't like to seek it. Thus, he finds it difficult to express himself creatively outwardly, as he expects that others may reject him. He may become overly conscientious of others and, as a result, very sensitive in social situations. Capable of internally absorbing the feelings of others, he often feels responsible for meeting the needs of those around him. This makes him feel less comfortable in social situations. He appears to be shy and sometimes backs away from where he wants to go most. He feels responsibility from the past and is not sure that he is capable of being worthy of it. In a man's horoscope this may cause difficulties with women as a result of being dominated by an adult woman early in his life. Usually this position of Venus gives great creativity, already developed in past incarnations, but the individual must now develop self-confidence if he is to express them. Karmically, he goes through life trying to gather feelings that will give him the sense of purpose that he needs. Once he can do this, he will be able to express the meaning in his life that he has been searching for.

Venus retrograde in the eleventh house

This is one of the most difficult positions for Venus retrograde, as it distracts from the creative process. The individual rarely experiences a feeling of calm. Venus's tolerance is broken by eternal passive curiosity during phase I of the retrograde process. A person strives for satisfaction in many various directions simultaneously. Sometimes the sense of reality is so unique that the individual is almost completely disconnected from his identity on the earthly level. He wants to try everything, but doesn't know why. At times he becomes so possessed by his thoughts that the dishonest greed he sees in others on the material level is a reflection of what he himself does mentally. He must learn to understand his thoughts, because although each new whim and fantasy that attracts him is beautiful in itself, their mixture can be so inharmonious that a person will feel uncomfortable. His personal rejection ultimately causes him to become more distant. While he explores the many realms and possibilities of thought in the universe, he does not always know how to combine them together in his personal life. However, he can help other people more than he can help himself. One of his greatest difficulties is that his secret desire to experience his own experiences keeps him aloof from the rest of humanity that he loves so dearly. Some people with this placement of Venus go through strange sexual experiences, as the need for exploration always pulls them beyond the norms of society. In past incarnations he experienced many different things that attracted him. Now he began to constantly look for something that he had not yet experienced. His dreams may be unrealistic, but his character is such that the limitations traditional society they can't contain him. His future is entirely based on how much he holds on to his past fantasies.

Venus retrograde in the twelfth house

Here the individual is delayed in phase III of the retrograde process. During this phase, he does not express feelings openly if he thinks they might be rejected. Often a person is attached to a love from a past life that was not broken, and while living every day in his future, he continues to try to restore his past. He may be happy when he is alone, but he does not like feeling abandoned by others. At the slightest hint of rejection, he feels sorry for himself for a long time, since he almost instinctively knows that he entered this incarnation, leaving true love behind. Essentially, he tries to satisfy himself by finding symbolic aspects of this love in all the people he meets, but for all his emotional energy, he still clings to the romantic concepts of a bygone time.

Bato Dugarzhapov "Descent to the Sea", and impressionism

Thus, it is difficult for him to be completely satisfied with the experience of his current life, since he views everything he perceives through the colored glasses of preconceived concepts. He goes through life with silent pain and does not like others to make demands of him. Usually, with this position of Venus, a person has many hidden emotions. Other people rarely see this, but the person is almost constantly aware of this part of himself that continues to refuse to enter into the current life. He can be a creator if he is not forced. He spends a lot of time alone with himself, actually gaining strength by subconsciously going through the memories of past moments when he was truly at peace with himself. He is a seeker not so much of external popularity as of internal satisfaction. With this position of Venus, a secret love affair is sometimes possible, with the help of which the individual tries to maintain in the present the illusion of what was reality in his past. Emotionally tied to time, he allows many of life's opportunities to pass him by. He will achieve happiness when he realizes that he is not really losing the past by living in the present.

After Mercury, Venus is the closest planet to the Sun. It is not more than 48 degrees away from the Sun. The diameter of Venus is approximately 6,000 km; Determining its exact size is difficult because the planet has a rather impressive atmosphere and is shrouded in very dense layers of clouds. The period of revolution around the Sun is 224.7 days.

Since ancient times, Venus has been considered by astrologers to be a “good” planet. Just like Mercury. Together with Mercury, Mars, the Earth's satellite the Moon and the Sun, it belongs to the so-called fast (personal) planets. Venus is a morning (and evening) star that appears shortly before sunrise and disappears from visibility immediately after sunset.

In the mythology of Western civilization, Venus is often depicted on a sea shell emerging from the waves, and is defined by the epithet Foamborn. The myth of the birth of Venus tells: when Saturn castrated his father Uranus in order to overthrow him from the throne, the bloody flesh of Uranus fell into the sea near the coast of Cyprus, the blood mixed with sea water, and from this foam Venus (Aphrodite Cypris) was born. Venus's rule over the signs of Taurus and Libra in mythology is reflected in the fact that Venus, the goddess of love and patroness of the arts, being the wife of Vulcan, the lame master, was at the same time the mistress of Mars, the god of war.

Venus was originally the goddess of spring and gardens in Roman mythology. Subsequently, with the spread of legends about Aeneas as the ancestor of the Romans, she began to be identified with the Greek goddess of love and beauty, the mother of the Trojans, Aphrodite. She was then identified with Isis and Astarte. The Sicilian temple on Mount Eryx (Venus Erykinia) played a decisive role in the spread of the cult of Venus. The patronage of the goddess was enjoyed by Sulla, who believed that she brings happiness (hence the nickname Felitsa); Pompey, who revered her as the Victorious; Caesar, who considered her the ancestor of the Julian family. The constant epithets of Venus in Rome were “merciful”, “purifying”, “equestrian”, “bald”. The last nickname was given to her in memory of the Roman women who gave their hair to make ropes during the war with the Gauls.

The astrological mysticism of Venus was determined by the special proportion of its rotation, opposite to the movement of all other planets solar system. It seemed that Venus was a “reverse planet”, so it was often called Lucifer and endowed with demonic traits and considered as a counterweight to the Sun. Sometimes “Venus” meant the “star Wormwood” mentioned in the Apocalypse.
Venus is a symbol of external, visible beauty. Therefore, she was called “Morning Star” or “Day Day”.

Venus is symmetrical relative to the Sun to its symbolic male partner - Mars. In astrology, Venus is depicted by a graphic symbol - a circle and a cross under it, the “mirror of Venus”. Astrological sign Venus denoted a woman and everything connected with the feminist principle. This woman is not a mother, but a lover (mother in astrology is the Moon). She personifies erotic sensuality. It is no coincidence that sexual diseases received the common name “venereal”.

In astrology, Venus is analogous to a lover in a man’s chart, and in a woman’s chart it reflects the sensual and carnal side of the feminine, supplementing the information of the Moon, which symbolizes a woman in the subpersonality of a wife and mother.

According to the esoteric legend of a number of Indo-European tribes, the “white race” originates from Venus. The “Children of Venus” - the Luciferites - were opposed to the rest of humanity. Among the Germans, she symbolized Freya, the wife of Odin. For American Indians this planet was a symbol of Quetzalcoatl. The “feathered serpent” itself was considered the spirit of Venus.

In Akkadian mythology, Venus is the planet masculine. Among the Sumerians, she was the cosmic personification of Ishtar: morning - as the goddess of fertility (rules the sign of material wealth and sensuality Taurus), evening - the god of war (rules the sign of partnership, disputes, court and resolution of litigation in the “field” - war, Libra).

According to Hippocrates, Venus is in analogy with the phlegmatic character, and according to Le Senne, it corresponds to the “amorphous” temperament (unemotional, inactive, primary). Correspondence to the organs of the human body: kidneys, genitourinary system, leather. Diseases of Venus are those that are sexually transmitted as a result of imprudent love.

The alchemical metal of Venus is copper. Its musical counterpart is the note G. Animals of Venus - bull, panther, goat, seal; birds - dove and sparrow; plants - verbena, fig tree" stones - emerald, garnet, chrysolite. The color semantics of the planet is blue. Countries under the patronage of Venus are Persia, Spain, India; cities - Vienna, Paris, Florence.

In a person’s birth horoscope, Venus symbolizes aesthetic features of perception and love. Sex at the level of pre-physical contact. Intimate inclusion in society, the impossibility of completely separating a person’s personal aesthetics from social ethics. Love for another person as a social being. High demands on the aesthetic design of relationships. Venus rules over: personal property, art, beauty, cosmetics, compliments, jewelry, marriage, partnership, contracts, balance, litigation, consultants, clients, litigation, satisfaction, harmony, something of an additional nature. In the horoscope, Venus denotes young women, artists, lovers, and people dealing with money. And also male persons: handsome local significance, rival for success, passive jealous, ladies' man, gentleman, social functionary, flatterer. By the position of Venus in the chart, you can learn about such qualities of a person’s character as beauty, the ability to love, be jealous, compete in success, passivity, the ability for cultural behavior, the ability to live in society, the ability to art, artistic abilities, charm, seductiveness, peacemaking .

Venus controls such professions as artist, musician, singer, actor, manufacturer of toilet accessories, beauty salon worker, florist, flower merchant, manufacturer or seller of women's clothing, tailor of women's or men's dresses, milliner, pastry chef, maid, maid, sweets manufacturer And essential oils, haberdashery employee, entertainer, furniture manufacturer or dealer, hotel owner or employee, beekeeper, landscape gardener, interior artist, personal secretary for organizing meetings, receptions, invitations; throat specialist, perfumer, peach grower, gossip editor, entertainment professional, art museum curator, painter, upholsterer, photographer, engraver, illustrator, bank teller, capitalist, business manager, loan officer.

The adjectives we use to define Venusian qualities: beloved, gentle, affectionate, jealous (passive), beautiful, blooming, polite, cultured, well-mannered, charming, adequate, complementary, attentive (husband), refined, purified, ennobled, refined, graceful, elegant, sophisticated, sweet (flattering), secular, aesthetic, artistic, harmonious, socially acceptable.

Venus is one of two planets (together with Mercury) that have a home in two zodiac signs at once. Thus, Venus is in residence in Taurus and Libra, and in exile in Scorpio and Aries (the signs of Pluto and Mars, opposite to Venus); Venus is exalted in Pisces and debilitated in Virgo. Accordingly, Venus is the significator of the second house of personal possessions and the seventh house of partnerships. There is a difference: Venus, as the mistress of Taurus, corresponds to the Greek Aphrodite, voluptuous and sensual, and Venus, the ruler of Libra, corresponds to Astarte of the ancient Semites, whose love is platonic. The ancient Greeks themselves worshiped two images of Aphrodite: Aphrodite-Cypris and Aphrodite-Urania. The first was the patroness of carnal love, and the second - sublime, platonic.

If a person is strongly influenced by the dominant Venus in the chart, then the rhythm of his existence is dictated by feelings and sensations. In his life, the sensual sphere plays a primary role; he loves to please, seduce, loves to see what attracts attention to himself. He has a strong interest in any type of art, he is attracted to beauty, comfort, and convenience. The quality of perception is determined by the aspects of Venus.

Harmonious aspects give the ability to listen, encouraging the interlocutor with appropriate remarks; often give external beauty, showiness, or at least the ability to look like one; love of art and good perception of it; the ability not to see the ugliness of people and life; a penchant for romantic love, the ability to beautifully look after and accept advances; emotions are harmonious and socially approved; rarely decides to go against society, prefers conformism; The stamps of group ethics are strongly ingrained in the personal subconscious, and it is difficult for a person to distinguish his own assessments of things from socially induced ones. The harmonious aspects of Venus give artistic and artistic talents, the gift of constructively communicating with people, diplomatic abilities, the ability to gently manage teams, and shape the ethics and aesthetics of the public subconscious. There is always an aura of beautiful surroundings around this person.

Tense aspects of Venus (conjunction, square, opposition, especially with the Sun, Mars, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto; position in Scorpio or Aries) make a person’s perception emphatically antisocial. He strongly dislikes everything that the majority likes. If the level of personal development is high, then the defeat of Venus gives a person a heightened sense of justice and the ability to constructively deal with the most pressing social problems and even form a new ethics of society. The requirements for himself, for personal ethics and aesthetics are very high; in all troubles he looks for the reason in himself. Venus with intense aspects can give rise to denial of any social norms in general, rebellion, attempts to impose values ​​on others or to isolate oneself from society and its values. High demands on others, on their ethics, manners, appearance. In opposition - mental projections of one's aesthetic and ethical shortcomings onto partners and society as a whole. In opposition to Saturn - a complex of social inferiority, a complex of dissatisfaction in love. In any case, a person with intense Venus aspects has difficulty building relationships, although at the beginning of the relationship everything may look just fine. And when a person is already thoroughly loaded in a relationship, conflicts and troubles will begin. The person’s aesthetics are very original, unlike anything else, and may have a clear antisocial orientation. For an artist or writer with a tense Venus, creating is a real torment; often there is no inspiration for a long time, and when it comes, it enslaves the person completely, turning him into an inspiration addict. We have to search creative ways cooperation with society, otherwise there will be an overload of the psyche with subsequent neurosis and other joys of madness. There will not be as much love in his life as the troubles and torment that accompany it. The character is difficult. A person can become bitter and take revenge on society and people for his suffering.

In the birth chart, Venus in a sign shows in what style the individual perceives himself and the world and in what style he expresses his feelings. Venus in the house shows where, in what conditions, under what circumstances this perception and expression occurs. Aspects of Venus will indicate the ways in which a person evaluates himself and the world. For example, Venus in Scorpio in the third house in a square with the Moon in Leo in the twelfth house can be interpreted as follows: “A person perceives himself and the world critically, first of all sees shortcomings, gives assessments after a thorough immersion in the subject of his research, these assessments are deep, because forced to constantly study, turn to reference books and primary sources. He passionately loves to communicate, loves people in general, but he gets very excited when communicating, it touches him to the depths of his soul, he gets very tired of it. He is very aware of the role of culture as a means of security when interacting in society and with a partner, and therefore constantly develops his level of culture. If the strength of his personality is great, his modalities social behavior will act on others in a magical way, literally forcing them to behave beautifully and sophisticatedly. He loves people who master the art of communication, and enjoys having heated debates with them on topics related to the “ills of society.” He is not squeamish, can speak on any topic and in any style, does not recognize taboos. He cannot tolerate popular opinion expressed in a pathetic form, therefore he prefers to live in solitude, studying social processes from afar; At the same time, society shows great interest in his life, does not leave him alone, forcing him to “go into society” and fight in it for “his own way of life.” He is very demanding regarding works of art, and cannot stand mass art, especially in the field of literature and printing. She loves to shock the public with words, and also to dress in a creative style, especially in the kitsch style of Viven Westwood. Personal life is completely unconventional. Task: to learn not to relax in wealth, not to lose the taste for life, not to become amorphous and inactive, and in poverty not to become a hyperactive tyrant - both will lead to chronic illnesses, isolation and loss of the necessary intellectual environment.”

In the apparent movement of Venus across the sky, its direct, stationary and retrograde positions are possible. The retrograde motion of Venus always takes 41 - 42 days.

When a planet goes into retrograde motion, its speed gradually slows down, and at some point it stops relative to an observer from Earth. When Venus begins to “slow down,” all processes in the human psyche (and in society) associated with the principle of Venus begin to slow down. At the stationary point, the influence of Venus is completely blocked, but at the same time people feel the enormous importance of money, love, partnership, beauty in their lives; these values ​​seem to be the most significant, but difficult to achieve; During periods of crisis, society may be gripped by panic, confusion, and ethical shock. And the entire period of retrograde movement is characterized by inhibition in the sphere of feelings and social processes. When a planet ends retrograde motion, its speed slows down again, it stops, then begins direct motion. At this moment, the energy that represents the principle of this planet begins to be powerfully released.

Therefore, if you started some important business at a time when Venus was moving across the sky relative to the Earth at a low speed, preparing for retrograde, you should be prepared for the fact that all 42 days of its retrograde movement your business will not go very well, unless the work is solitary and does not require a lot of interaction with people in social situations.

During retrograde, Venus approaches the Earth, forcing us to pay attention to its principle and consider its influence. In the human psyche, this manifests itself in the fact that a person has a greater need for love and belonging to a group. In this regard, a person is forced to re-evaluate the relationships in which he is, and those things that for some time were of great value to him. A person wants to understand his feelings; naturally, during this period he is more interested in himself than in other people. Therefore, the period of Venus retrograde movement for many people may be accompanied by a feeling of decreased social activity and a cooling of feelings. Many people are busy reassessing values, their emphasis in the value system is shifting: what was important not long ago may lose its significance, and something completely different, previously insignificant, will become more valuable. While Venus is moving retrograde, people experience a certain disorientation in the outside world. For example, they do not want or cannot objectively judge another person or a social group, being carried away by the perception of only what is happening in their inner world. This is also reflected in purchasing power: most of the expensive goods purchased during the retrograde period are then difficult for a person to harmoniously fit into his value system, since during the period of the Lower conjunction of Venus with the Sun (the symbolic “new moon” of the Sun/Venus cycle) it can change as such. a person’s value system and criteria for assessing the qualities of an acquired item.

However, the importance of the retrograde movement of planets is most clearly visible when interpreting transits for prognostic purposes. You may not feel the retrograde movement of Venus or Mercury, or even Mars, unless there is some important point (Angle or planet) in your astrological chart at the degrees from which the planet went into retromotion. If this point is Jupiter, Saturn, and even more so Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, then you will feel the powerful influence of retrograde transit only if these planets are connected by major aspects with the personal planets of your horoscope: Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars . If, on the contrary, the retrograde point of transit Venus coincides with an important point in your horoscope, the transit of Venus will bring very significant events of internal or outside world in accordance with the characteristics of the position of Venus in your chart and the characteristics of the point in your horoscope aspected by the transit of Venus. In terms of strength of influence, the transit of the conjunction comes first, followed by the square, opposition, trine, sextile. The conjunction literally flattens the principle of the aspected planet, forcing you to adapt spontaneously to new circumstances and act at the limit of your creative capabilities. The square creates obstacles, but also gives passion, interest and the strength to overcome them. The opposition forces you to evaluate the action of the principle of the planet in your life and choose the direction of your path in conditions of confrontation with someone or something. The trine brings down all obstacles to the implementation of the planetary principle in your life. And if you have been building dams and props for a long time to maintain the status quo, at this time they all may collapse. This may not be a pleasant time: the trine opens up new opportunities, but can force you to accept them forcefully. So, if the time has come for you to move to a new place of residence due to a new interesting work, but you feel sorry to leave your beloved home, the aspect can deprive you of security in the house and you will gladly escape from it. Sextile has the weakest effect: it only suggests making one or another choice in favor of mastering new skills and abilities, and brings people who unobtrusively provide support. But a person can easily ignore sextile suggestions or not notice them at all.

If Venus retrograde occurs in the same sign in which Venus is located in natal chart, the entire period of the retrograde cycle will be colored by the theme indicated by the characteristics of Venus in your natal chart. To understand what is happening to you during this period, analyze the position of your Venus in your sign, house, and its aspects. The results of the events of this period will manifest themselves in the spheres of those houses of your birth chart whose cusps are located in the sign of Taurus and Libra.

Particular attention to the period of retrograde planets in the mundan chart should be paid to those people (couples, families, groups, states) in whose natal charts this planet is retrograde. Even if during the period of retrograde it does not form an aspect with an important point in the natal chart in transit, the principle of this planet will be very significant for the object of the chart. For example, in the horoscope of Ukrainian sovereignty on August 24, 1991, Venus and Mercury are retrograde. This means that during the retrograde period of these planets in Ukraine, one can expect important changes in areas related to the principles of Mercury and Venus. For example, if in countries in whose horoscope Mercury is direct, any bills are put forward during the retrophase of Mercury, then the fate of these bills is most likely to be a lack of interest in them and oblivion. But in a state with retrograde Mercury in the chart, on the contrary, a bill put forward on retrograde Mercury will gain wide resonance, arouse great interest, will remain the subject of controversy for a long time, and ultimately, regardless of whether it is adopted or not, will turn out to be a powerful factor impact on the minds and mental representations of the people in the state, will force people, unnoticed by themselves, to start thinking, turn to primary sources for information, get to the bottom of the causes and study the consequences this process. As an example, the bill “On Languages ​​in Ukraine”, submitted on September 7, 2010 to the Verkhovna Rada by people's deputies Alexander Efremov, Petro Symonenko, Sergei Grinevetsky. For example, for a person with retrograde Mercury in the chart, significant events in the field of work, career, business, partnership, study will occur most often when the mundan Mercury is retrograde. So, before recommending to a businessman to re-register his company, which has retro Mercury in its chart, look at the businessman’s birth chart: retro Mercury will probably be found there, and the company will work very successfully under the leadership of this person, and he himself will be very pleased with the state of affairs.

People in whose chart we see retrograde Venus are special people: they have everything connected with love, partnership, material wealth and finance in their inner world, but for the time being they do not have it at all. external life. So a girl with retro Venus in her birth chart will subtly feel all the nuances of interpersonal relationships, see herself in a dream paired with her lover, experience unearthly pleasure from the feeling of unity, but in real life she will be deprived of all this - she simply will not meet such a person who could to share her feelings with her. This may be expressed in the fact that she has no one with whom to stand at the canvas of the artist she loves, no one to read poems that move her to tears, no one with whom to sing in two voices, no one with whom to share the delight on the top of a conquered mountain on a hike, no one to contemplate starry sky. This does not mean that there is an absolute social vacuum around her. Not at all, there may be a lot of friendly, attractive people around her, but all of them cannot give her a feeling of shared feelings. She may be beautiful, attractive, sociable, well-off financially, occupy a very worthy position in society, but all this does not bring her the pleasure of life that she feels she could experience. Does she have the opportunity to get married and have children? Without a doubt. There is also the opportunity to do what you love, earn some income, and acquire personal property. But at the same time, it is not possible to have the pleasure she wants from all this. So you can see the young beautiful mother two prosperous children in an enviable home environment, shedding tears in front of the TV over the film “An Ordinary Miracle” while loving husband by the sweat of his brow he produces another diamond masterpiece for her, which she will never be able to wear anyway, because there is nowhere.

A girl with retrograde Venus in her birth chart is the archetype of Vasilisa the Beautiful: she cannot merge in the ecstasy of union with her husband, but can only surprise him from afar with her wonderful abilities, remaining completely inaccessible for the time being. And if she tries to “become like everyone else” before the deadline assigned to her by fate (Ivan Tsarevich burns the skin of a frog), she will end up in the kingdom of Koshchei the Immortal, where she will be forced to wait until the end of her imprisonment. The trials that Ivan Tsarevich overcomes on the way to freeing Vasilisa from Koshchei are a symbolic description of the path that the soul must go through when it incarnates at the moment of Venus’s retrograde. Ivan Tsarevich must endure three pairs of iron boots, gnaw three stone breads, eat three pounds of salt, learn to understand talking animals and help them - and only then will he be able to get to Koshcheev’s Death and remove the spell from Beauty imprisoned in an impregnable tower. This means that for a person with retro Venus in the chart, the principle of beauty, love, harmony remains inaccessible in external life until, in progressions (1 day = 1 year), Venus changes retrograde movement to direct. And all this time he will live a rich inner life, comprehending the truth of love, harmony, beauty through assessments of the dramatic events happening around him and with him, associated with the inaccessibility of the Venus principle for him personally.

Every time a retrograde planet changes course to direct in its progressions, it coincides with important events in a person’s life. The position of Venus in a sign, house, its aspects and importance in the horoscope will indicate to the astrologer exactly how and in what area of ​​life the new energy of the Venus principle will manifest itself and how it will have to be used. Venus retrograde, about to become direct in progressions, about 2 degrees closer to the reversal point, gradually begins to manifest itself in a more open and direct, and sometimes freer, manner. People with retro Venus in the radix had time to lay the foundation for a new implementation in society and partnership and prepare the field for the Venus principle during all those years when the planet was retrograde in progressions. When she becomes direct, these people must be ready to use her energy to the fullest.
A planet appears to take on a little more importance in the chart during what is called a "slowdown" or stationary period, as if it is preparing for a change that will soon follow. Thus, for people whose moment of birth coincided with the point of immobility of Venus (stationary Venus), the principle of Venus is very important, regardless of its position in the horoscope. If this is a stop before the start of a direct movement, then in a person’s life, when Venus becomes direct in progressions, a period of rapid, obvious revelation of the principles of Venus will begin. If a person was born at the time of stationary Venus, when she stopped to begin retrograde movement, then the person will live for about 42 years without the principle of Venus in outer life. Of course, he will have some money, some relationships, but the main background of his life will be the feeling that true love, wealth, and joy of life are still ahead of him. And so it will be, even if at this time society is shaken by severe trials and the chaos of change.

The signs of Taurus and Libra, ruled by Venus, are associated with valuables, money, contracts, agreements, treaties, partners, the institution of marriage, relationships, reconciliations, legal disputes and justice. Barbara Waters writes that when Venus goes retrograde, “major social projects begin to stall, attempts to raise money end in disappointment, and attempts to reconcile others come to nothing.” When Venus is retrograde, it is unwise to enter into contracts. Under these circumstances, even international agreements have an unfortunate fate. This is an unfavorable time for purchasing luxury goods and for financial investments. The relationship that began during this period does not meet expectations.

In other cases, Venus retrograde periods are great for celebrating values ​​and beauty - visiting museums, enjoying the classics of literature or art, immersing yourself in the beauty of nature; to renew relationships, to think about the place of your spouse or partner in your life; finally, for solitary activities devoted to reassessment of values.

A Venus retrograde period in a mundan chart can be an excellent time to do soul-searching, close debts, end unfinished relationships, and clear up confusing mutual agreements. This is a great time for learning the arts, for mastering the skills of cultural behavior, developing charm, the ability to communicate, the ability to create your own individual image and style, and experimenting with styles.

The Sun/Venus cycle is associated with the development in a person of the principle of perception on an aesthetic level and the principle of evaluation on an ethical level. Thus, during the period of the Lower Sun/Venus conjunction, a new stage in the evolution of the personal value system begins.

“Theoretically, the Venusian value scale is based on personal emotional experience and is not related to the social, religious or cultural experience of the environment. In reality, collective stereotypes can shape the behavior of an individual and have such a strong influence on him that the person is not aware of it for a long time. For example, youthful rebellions against the restrictions of the increased needs of puberty for freedom are determined by the standards of behavior of the peer group, the immediate environment of the teenager. When transiting Venus moves in the opposite direction to the natural flow of life solar energy, i.e., is in retrograde motion, a person has the opportunity to free himself from the powerful flow of social and biological influences that control his life. At this moment, individual consciousness has a convenient opportunity to separate instinctive desires from the oppressive influence of socio-cultural stereotypes. Inferior conjunctions Sun - Venus will help a person discover new system values, new models of behavior that develop through own system values ​​and ethical ideas, without which the psychological and spiritual development of the individual is impossible. These conjunctions are key moments in the Venus retrograde period, potential moments of growth. Such inner insight can be realized and occur in complete ignorance from the consciousness of a person who is unaware of the emergency of the moment that determines the new direction of his life. However, the retrograde of Venus is not a guarantee of such insight.” (Markina N.Yu. “Cycles of the Planets”)

“Like other astrological indicators, this phenomenon rather indicates the possibility of such a state, rather than its inevitability. Before an individual defines his new values, he sets new standards of behavior, and this process mobilizes his conscious attention. This sequence may seem paradoxical: how do changes, which most often rely on the manifestation of new forms of the unconscious, require the attraction of conscious attention? The fact is that conscious attention does not require the use of volitional efforts to affirm one’s own values ​​and establish new criteria, but requires focusing on the existing reality. A person will need a strong-willed effort to see his choice for what it is, and to determine to what extent it is made according to his own taste, and to what extent it is predetermined by family or socio-cultural influences. A person is required to ask himself: Do I like this? Do I really like this? (Markina N.Yu. “Cycles of the Planets”)

“The modern astrologer does not measure the retrograde period of Venus from the beginning of the day when it turns back to the day when it will be direct again. This period essentially corresponds to the loop that Venus draws in the sky. The loop begins from the moment when direct Venus first hits the degree where it will later be in conjunction with the Sun. At this time, it begins to move closer and closer to the Earth until the degree of "inferior conjunction", the point closest to the Earth, then, leaving the sun's embrace, it moves away from the Earth until it reaches its normal distance, and then begins a new movement to the degree of connection in forward motion.

For example, Venus, during its retrograde motion, makes an “inferior conjunction” with the Sun on April 6, 1977, at 16 degrees. Aries, but previously she was in this degree of conjunction on February 22, then she began to write her loop in the sky towards the Earth. On May 20, Venus returned to 16 degrees. Aries is already in direct motion and has completed its loop. These dates do not correspond to the actual stops (stationary positions) of Venus before the forward and backward movements on March 16 and April 27, which determine the period of its retrograde movement. A new cycle begins at the lower junction. This is the period between February 22 (the first moment when Venus entered the degree of conjunction) and the inferior conjunction on April 6, which is analogous to the XII house of the previous cycle. During this phase, the previous cycle comes to an end and the person is faced with its results, with successful and lost attempts to express his Venusian values. If during the previous cycle there were problems with the choice of behavior, they may become aggravated during this period, and especially at the moment of the “lower junction”, which theoretically describes the situation where a solution can be sought.” (Markina N.Yu. “Cycles of the Planets”)

Pay attention to which house of your horoscope the inferior conjunction of the Sun and Venus occurred. It is in the sphere of this house that your new ethical system will be implemented in the period until the next Lower conjunction. After a period of Venus retrograde, we may find that our value system has undergone significant changes. These changes can range from changes in food and clothing preferences to changes in ethics.

“If an astrologer sets himself the task of interpreting in terms of mundane astrology what effect the period of Venus retrograde will have on the life of humanity, he will have to highlight all the major aspects, and especially the conjunctions that Venus will make during this time. In the above example, Venus retrograde before conjunct the Sun was conjunct Mercury on March 29, 1977, and after the "inferior conjunction" on April 12 made an opposition to Pluto and a trine to Saturn on April 18.

The conjunction with Mercury belongs to the past cycle and can be considered a factor determining or predetermining the new Venusian trend. It indicates the need for communication and puts emphasis on a certain nature of Mercurian communication.

Opposition (awareness) to Pluto (the unconscious tendencies of the collective) can draw the astrologer’s attention to the possibility of regeneration, reformulation of values ​​at the present stage of human development and the elimination of past outdated criteria for relationships.

The opposition will be followed by a trine (harmonious fusion or synthesis) of Saturn (responsibility and reliability).

Obviously, during this period there may be many discussions (Mercury) regarding the limitation strategic weapons. Aware and aware of the enormous destructive power nuclear weapons(Pluto) specialists and members of the public can meet to join forces to ensure security with a sense of responsibility to humanity (Saturn).” (Markina N.Yu. From the book “Cycles of the Planets”)

5th June 2010

There are one or more planets RETROGRADE.

From an astronomical point of view RETROGRADE Planet can be explained this way: when it seems to an observer from Earth that the Planet has begun to move backwards, in the opposite direction. In reality, of course, this does not happen - the Planets always move in the same direction, it’s just that at some point the speed of the Planet slows down and a feeling of reverse movement is created.

To make it clearer, RETRO movement of the Planets can be compared to two moving objects - a car and a bicycle. The speed of the car is, of course, greater than the speed of the cyclist. Therefore, when a car catches up and overtakes a cyclist, it seems to the passenger sitting in the car that the cyclist is moving backwards - although he is also driving, his speed is simply much less than the speed of the car. So it is with the Planets.

This RETRO movement of the Planets, recorded in the natal chart at the time of a person’s birth, will have a very great influence on him - on his psychology and on events during his life on the topic of this Planet.

RETROGRADE there are all Planets except the Sun and Moon.

For those who are not at all familiar with the symbols of Astrology, I will explain - in the natal chart RETROGRADE Planets are indicated by the Latin letter R, which stands next to the icon Planets.

So, what does a RETROGRADE Planet mean for those who have it in ?

1. Firstly, this means obsession person on the same sphere, on the same problem. For example, if in your card:

  • , then you are fixated on the topic of relationships, on the topic of love, on the topic of money,
  • means that you are fixated on,
  • may become fixated on the topic of his authority, high social status, teaching activities, on the topic of travel.

2. Secondly, RETROGRADE Planet means the need for repeated repetitions the same situation (“repetition is the mother of learning”). For example:

  • forces a person to study, study and study again. Repeat and repeat. A person with needs to explain the studied material several times. Such a person will not always hear you the first time. Therefore, do not be surprised if your child (or another loved one) needs to repeat everything 10 times. Most likely, it’s in his map. You need to be much more patient with such people; you need to explain the same topic to them more than once.
  • a person with will constantly come across the same types of partners - all alcoholics, all athletes, all brunettes with blue eyes, all much older or much younger. All relationships can develop according to the same scenario. It's like a vicious circle that you've been walking in for many, many years.
  • RETRO Neptune- in the worst case, repeating the topic of alcoholism and mental disorders. At best, it is a repetition of the theme of psychology, spirituality, artistic and musical creativity (you can go to study these professions several times, quit and return to these classes several times, constantly rewrite musical works, redraw your paintings, achieving the best result).

3. RETRO Planet in may indicate personal errors in past lives and mistakes of ancestors on the topic of Planets. Therefore, in this life they give obstacles in achieving anything. For example:

  • mistakes in relationships with brothers and sisters give - it is difficult to establish a connection with them,
  • mistakes in love give - therefore it is difficult to love and be loved, it is difficult to achieve harmony in relationships with partners,
  • mistakes in the topic of career give - therefore in this life there will be obstacles on the career ladder, obstacles with government agencies,
  • if you made mistakes abroad, in teaching, in achieving a high social status, then in your chart there will be - therefore there will be difficulties in being a teacher, obstacles in achieving a high social status, difficulties in relations with foreigners,
  • etc.

4. RETRO Planet its properties are similar to Ketu (the Setting Node). This means that Planet karmically overloaded- this means that you have already gained quite a lot of experience on this topic Planets in their past incarnations. Therefore, in this life you need to “slow down” on this topic. We need to switch to other areas of life, do those things that are indicated by ordinary direct messages. Planets.

But, if you still become more active on the topic RETRO Planets, then you will have more obstacles and restrictions. There will be a certain stupor that will not allow you to move on. Think about it - if there is a certain wall in your life that you cannot “break through” - maybe you shouldn’t do it? Maybe you just RETRO Planet in a map that directly says: “you can’t be active here.” Then you just need to move away from this topic and come to terms with what is - then there is a chance to get what you want, only a little later. For example:

  • if you - in past incarnations you were too active and assertive in achieving your goals - so now you need to pacify this activity,
  • if you have, let go of the topic of partnerships, do not be active in love, in making money,
  • if you have, you already have a lot of experience in your career, so don’t try to build it too actively,
  • if you have RETRO Uranus— you had a lot of friends, you were a very freedom-loving and independent person, so the theme of friendship and freedom has already been worked out, switch to other areas.

5. On topic RETRO Planets one must “go with the flow without oars.” If life situation something offers - take it, no - don’t persist. For example:

  • if a person is offered to get acquainted with, to strike up a partnership, then “you have to take it,” if not, there is no need to persist in this matter,
  • if a person is offered travel, it means “you have to take it”, I invite everyone with RETRO Jupiter on free trips ,
  • if a person is offered a promotion up the career ladder, it means “you have to take it.” If they don’t offer it, don’t persist, don’t push it.

6. RETRO Planet does not mean a ban on manifestation in its area. It only says that according to the functions of this Planets a person's personal initiative must be reduced to zero. Must be "number two" in this area. For example:

  • suggests that it is better not to take the initiative on the topic of love. Wait for someone to approach you and show interest. In partnerships (personal and business), it is better to give the initiative to your partner.
  • - suggests waiting until you are asked to teach, when you are called on some trip abroad when you are offered a promotion.

7. RETRO Planet does not say that this will never happen. It simply tells us that events Retro Planet will be late in our life – we need to be patient, wait and not relax ahead of time. For example:

  • a person with may start studying late,
  • it's too late to become a teacher, too late will start traveling ,
  • RETRO Neptune will begin to master the profession of psychologist at a conscious age.

8. RETRO Planet tells us that the theme of this Planet needs let go, don’t bother, don’t demand everything from her at once - then the situation itself will take you where it needs to go.

  • for example, you can’t bother with the topic - the situation itself will turn out as it should (if you behave correctly).

9. And also RETRO Planet can be a positive foundation from our ancestors with the least amount of effort. For example:

  • in a person with RETRO Uranium one of the ancestors could be an Astrologer, so he will receive invisible support from the family in this profession,
  • in a person with RETRO Pluto there will be support for ancestors in all professions associated with risk to life.

All of the above factors need to be considered not only on the topic RETRO Planets, but also which House she controls. For example:

  • if the Ruler of the 1st House is RETRO, then all of the above will relate to the topic of self-development and appearance,
  • If RETROGRADE Ruler of the 2nd House - to the topic of money,
  • RETROGRADE Ruler of the House - on the topic of contacts, studies, cars,
  • if the Ruler of the 4th House RETRO, then this will be related to the theme of ancestors, place of residence,
  • RETRO Ruler of the 5th House - will indicate the topic of children and creativity,
  • if the Ruler of the 6th House RETRO— the topic of work, health,
  • 7 Houses - the theme of marriage, courts,
  • 8 At home - the theme of sex, risk, crises will be involved,
  • 9 At home - the theme of travel, abroad, teaching,
  • 10th House - career,
  • 11 House - theme of friends,
  • 12th House - the theme of spiritual search, solitude.

Important! I am often asked “What do Retrograde Nodes mean and how to act on them”? I draw your attention to the fact that Knots it's the other way around... The retro phase for the Nodes is their normal movement. Nodes show what evolutionary task has already been completed (according to South Node) and what needs to be accomplished in this life (according to North Node). It's much worse if Direct nodes. If in your Horoscope Nodes in the Direct phase- this means that in past incarnations you did not fully complete your evolutionary task of South Node. Therefore, now you need to do TWO evolutionary tasks - both for the South and North Nodes.

In the comments below you can write which one Planet in your RETROGRADE and how did it play out in your life?

If you also have Retro Planets and you cannot yet interpret them yourself, but you want to find out specifically for yourself:

  • what are the functions of Retro Planet You overspent in past incarnations,
  • what issues did you pay too much attention to in past incarnations?
  • in what areas of life do you experience restrictions?
  • in which areas of life you should not show your initiative, should not be active,
  • where complete external passivity is needed,
  • what exactly Retro Planets mean to you
  • how should you behave with Retro Planets, so as not to aggravate the situation.
  • what illnesses and unpleasant situations in life will make you understand that you are not behaving correctly? Retro Planet.
