This month we have Venus going retrograde, which only happens every year and a half. In Vedic astrology, when Venus goes retrograde, its effects can vary based on the sign it is transiting through and the specific placements in an individual’s birth chart. Similarly, its impact in mundane astrology is described based on the astrological events occurring during that period and their influence on a collective level.
When Venus goes retrograde starting in Leo and then going back to Cancer, here are some general effects observed in both personal and mundane astrology:
1. Personal astrology:
– Relationships and Love: Venus is the planet of love, relationships, and beauty. During its retrograde period, there may be a reassessment and reflection upon matters of the heart. Existing relationships may undergo evaluations, leading to a re-consideration of values, commitment, and desires. Past romantic connections or unresolved issues may resurface for healing and closure.
– Self-esteem and Values: Retrograde Venus in Leo and Cancer can also impact one’s self-esteem, personal values, and self-worth. It may bring forth the need to re-evaluate how you perceive yourself and your desires, allowing for inner growth and a re-alignment of personal values.
– Creativity and Aesthetics: Venus in retrograde can create a period of introspection and evaluation of artistic endeavors, creativity, and aesthetic values. It may prompt individuals to find a renewed sense of inspiration or re-evaluate their artistic expressions.
2. Mundane astrology:
– Global Affairs: Retrograde Venus can have certain implications on broader societal ideologies and diplomatic relations. During this period, there may be a revaluation of peace treaties, alliances, trade agreements, and international relations. Issues related to women’s rights, equality, and matters of justice may also gain prominence in the public discourse.
– Economic Impact: Venus also governs finances, luxury, and material wealth. Retrograde motion can impact the overall economic conditions by creating uncertainties or needing reassessment of financial matters. This may have a broader impact on stock markets, investments, and global trade patterns.
– Social Dynamics: Retrograde Venus can have implications for social dynamics, cultural values, and an overall reassessment of societal norms. It may prompt individuals and communities to re-evaluate the existing structures, rediscover their values, and seek a greater sense of harmony and balance within society.
However, it is crucial to note that the specific effects of any planetary transit are highly dependent on numerous factors within an individual’s birth chart, as well as the broader astrological context. Consulting with a professional Vedic astrologer can provide more accurate insights personalized to an individual’s unique chart.
