Venus Retrograde in Virgo

"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."

Unusual Phenomena in 2007

"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."
