Welcome to Venus Retrograde.

I had an articulate post planned about how interesting these transits can be. Blasts from the past, especially WRT to friends (particularly women) we haven't seen in a while. Can also apply to hobbies, music, books, etc. we haven't enjoyed for several--BLECH.

Venus Retrogrades kick my ass. I'm exhausted and in a bad mood. I've also had two encounters with women from my past who were both people I hated. And I'm really fighting the urge to spend, because in my previous experience with this transit, most of the things we buy during Venus Retrograde will look ugly about five minutes after it ends.

Also, not to be a negative Nancy, but I've noticed that during Venus Rx, any relationship that's been hanging by the brink will tend to peter out sometime in these weeks. I've already had mine.

ACK. This one lasts until June 27th. I'll leave the deep, metaphysical insights about it to others. Enjoy!

I mean when did it start? Does the energy develop a few weeks before Venus actually goes retrograde?

I have been wondering about some recent developments in a couple of relationships. Then today I just woke up with some real clarity, with a complete understanding of what was going on -especially with a few friendships that are definitely 'hanging by the brink'

Interesting stuff. Clarity is good, although not always pleasant.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this.

So you will see some developments a couple of weeks before it begins and a couple of weeks after.
