Venus is called an “inner” planet because it is between Earth and the Sun. Mercury is the other “inner” planet and it is the planet that goes retrograde the most often in a year, usually three times for approximately 3 weeks.
Of all of the planets Venus goes retrograde the least. Because of their position in our solar system, Venus and Mercury can never be farther than two Signs away from the Sun. There are actually some so called “astrology” books that place the Sun in Taurus and Venus in Capricorn. That is a blatant tip that an astrology imposter wrote the book. Just like the so called Astrologer on Coast-to-coast radio show that told a “call in” (probably his brother in law) who complained about difficulties in his life at the age of 42, the “Astrologer” said he was experiences his “Saturn Return”. Any real astrologer just had to laugh!
Venus is the name of the Roman goddess of beauty and also the name of a great American woman tennis player! Venus is associated with love, beauty, and the power of attraction and persuasion. People with a strong Venus in their chart are usually very sociable. Venus's astrological twin is Mars, who is an outer planet and represents energetic energy, pursues, outgoing, and how someone expresses their sex drive.
Venus is also known as the “Morning Star”. That is when Venus rises before the Sun. This was the time to go to war in many Native tribes of the Americas. They were not allowed to go to war when Venus appeared in the evening sky after the Sun set and she was the “Evening Star”. She is the second brightest item in our sky at night after the Moon. Look in your chart and see where she is in your chart. Maybe this explains why there are “hawks” and “doves” concerning war. Maybe it explains why some of us are “night people” and some are “day people”? Now that is something to ponder!

Venus is the “Ruler” of Taurus, a feminine Sign and Libra, a masculine Sign. Taurus is the natural 2nd house which rules your property, cattle, homes, cars, boats, possessions, money, jewels, and stocks and bonds. Libra is the natural 7th house which rules your marriage or business partnerships, any person who gives you consul like a lawyer, doctor, psychologist, or astrologer. In short, Venus rules your material goods and partnerships.
Therefore if Venus is retrograde in your natal chart you will have some difficulties with money and your love life until it goes direct in your progressed chart. It indicates you did not handle these areas very ethetically in your past lives. It means you will have lessons to learn about handling material goods and partnerships in this life.
The Sign and House placement of Venus in your natal chart will reveal what you love and how you relate to others. Aspects to Venus will also reveal if you in the main friendly and kind or standoffish and selfish. The aspect your Venus makes to your partner’s Mars is very important in revealing if you would be compatible for a long term relationship such as marriage. If your natal Venus aspects your natal Uranus, you may tend to fall in love instantly about every 3 months, and then fall out of love just as suddenly.

Now for the “no-no’s” when Venus is going retrograde in the heavens. It is definitely not a time to “fall in love”, (anytime you fall you tend to hurt yourself!) or get married. If you do it most likely will not last very long. It is not a time to buy new homes, property, stocks and bonds, clothes, jewelry, art, or any beauty items. It is definitely not a time to change your hair style or color. If you do buy clothes, they most likely will just hang in your closet and talk to each other. Everyone has no doubt asked themselves at least a few times, “Why did I ever buy that?”
To buy clothes you just love, do it when the “Lights” (Sun and Moon) are in the Signs of Taurus, Leo, and Libra. It is most likely that Venus is in the same Sign as the Sun so you are bound to find the perfect item. It is easy to check an ephemeris for these occasions. It would be wise for dress shops to note these occasions and have a “Special Sale of Beauty”.

Isabel M. Hickey wrote “Astrology, A Cosmic Science”. It is my favorite Western Astrology book. If you have an interest in Western Astrology, without a great desire to become an astrologer, this is the ONLY astrology book you need to buy. Isabel said that if a person is cold and unloving they will most likely have money problems too! Open up your heart and give of your time, attention, food, drink, and shelter to others. It will result in you never being in extreme need of material goods.
It is wise to remember, “What you own, owns you”!
Compassion & kindness is the perfect religion.
Expressing your gratitude is the perfect prayer.
