Hello Readers,
Just wanted to let you know about Venus Retrograde. This is a time when Venus is going "backwards" in the sky.
"When Venus is retrograde, everyone's emotional state is more
introspective and we tend to react emotionally to the issues and
concerns that relate to the sign involved. With Venus retrograde in
Virgo, people with this sign prominent in their charts will be
especially prone to such introspection. There is little choice but to
reconsider our personal feelings and relationships. There is, however,
an opportunity to gain insight into one's own mode of relating, whether
sexually, creatively, or financially.
Virgo signifies connections with the sick, so this period especially affects nurses,
dietitians and therapists. It also affects those who have detailed
involvement with financial and creative areas, such as accountants,
managers and agents. Relations with fellow workers and employees are
subject to undue criticism and you may be somewhat inhibited when it
comes to establishing social or sexual relationships. Secret emotional
unions and strange experiences are stimulated. Relationships in the
military may become strained.
Although Venus turns retrograde in Virgo, she does so in the early
degrees and soon retrogrades into Leo. When Venus moves back into Leo
on August 9, 2007, deep feelings can be awakened, especially for those
who have Fixed Signs
strong in their charts. Fixed Signs are Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius and
Taurus. Creative projects tend to be stifled and a tendency emerges for
exaggeration. Dramatics are likely in mannerisms, dress, or some aspect
of the personality. Control any inclination to be cold and cruel. This
position can bring back problems, so chiropractors, be ready!
The most significant aspect awakened is the fortunate trine to
Pluto, which is stationary at 26°18' of Sagittarius, in conjunction
with the Galactic Core. This aspect is active to one degree or another
throughout the retro phase, but is at its peak on August 14 and 15
(retro), then again on October 4 and 5 (direct).
A watchful observer will get a clear insight into body language. Pay
attention to the subtleties of human interactions, as the knowledge
gleaned can be valuable. People will be attracted if you display an
aura of self-possession and control. You can turn the tables on the
past. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that you will change a
failure into a success, but if you keep your wits about you, you can
gain something equally valuable to make up for it."
Also Pluto is conjunct the Galactic Center:
"Normally Venus turns retrograde about every 18 months and Mars every
two years or so. This year (2007) is somewhat unusual in that both
Venus and Mars turn retrograde, Venus turning on July 27, 2007, and the
mighty Warrior on November 15, 2007. Moreover, with Pluto on the
Galactic Centre, powerful forces are working to rearrange our human
destinies.
Pluto on the Galactic Core
It is noteworthy that dark Pluto is still hovering around the Galactic Centre (a.k.a.
Galactic Core) and will turn retro in that conjunction on March 31,
2007. The core of our Galaxy, the Milky Way, is currently located at
Sag 26°56'. This point, discovered in 1932, is thought to contain a
massive black hole with the mass of some four million times that of our
own Sun. It has a significant effect when aspected, inclining people
affected to take a central role in affairs and to have a sense of
cosmic destiny.
Pluto is not in partile (exact) conjunction with the GC as it was in
2006, but because it is such a slow-moving planet the partile
conjunction is reawakened between July 15 and October 29. On September
7 Pluto actually makes his direct station right on the GC, which in
some ways is of greater significance than when he turned retro in this
position. It gives the opportunity to move forward with regard to the
obstructions signalled and may be expected to lead to the restructuring
of society on a more spiritual basis. Or let's hope so, anyway."
