First, Fun facts to debunk Venus Retrograde ( VR) myths:
- Rishabh Pant become the fastest Indian Wicketkeeper, breaking former skipper and wicketkeeper MS Dhoni‘s record, during Venus Retrograde
- Varun Dhawan got married his childhood sweetheart Natasha Dalal during Venus Retrograde
- Apple Inc has become the 1st company to touch a $3 trillion stock market value during Venus Retrograde
- Mohit Raina and Aditi Sharma tied knot during Venus Retrograde.
Venus brings Love, beauty and comfort. But Love here also means, Love of masses, teammates, followers, fans, etc
Beauty also means inner beauty, beauty in beholder’s eye
And comfort also means luxurious gains or losses to bring more peace.
P.S: This doesn’t mean someone with afflicted Venus cannot attain the above. They can with clean conscience and Karma. Just like someone with a well-placed Venus may still be struggling with above if keeping Karma unclean.
Venus goes retrograde –
On July 23 in Leo, 2nd Pada of Magha ( Leo’s point of origin) Nakshatra, then On August 7, in Cancer, 1st Pada of Gandanta ( the end or the link) Ashlesha- Magha and stay there till September 4, 2023
So, analysis will be divided over two periods, however, I’ve tried to compile them together so take what connects to you most.
Higher Consciousness
Whether by making mistakes ( mostly in Love or professions where we want to be Loved by others ) — or by avoiding making mistakes – Venus will unanimously push us towards diving deep within ourselves. During Leo phase of Venus retrograde, you’re most likely to ditch making mistakes by making healthier Karmic choices In Cancer phase however, emotions can be mostly all over the place and unhealthy choices overruled in fit of emotions – ahamkara ( ego ) can be made
But whichever way one goes, lessons about self will be learnt that will go a long way. Whether they benefit you or negatively impacts you – will be decided by your choices.
So technically, during Leo phase you’ll be given time to amend yourself – example, if you’ve been reckless – inconsiderate – fooling some one/people OR chasing Maya ( illusions) blindly you will get time to fix it or consequences are likely to follow in Cancer phase.
Important to note, consequences may or may not show directly where you’ve been mindless – but dents will be seen in life somewhere, whether health – families – etc.
Since Venus retrogrades are mostly about past actions – picking things from the past and indulging in them, proves beneficial.
Example: Varun Dhawan marrying his best friend from the past (childhood) – Natasha Dalal in spite of having an array of affairs rumours.
Same goes for business and luxury.
So for those who’ve been working hard for their passion from the past are likely to see results now provided you were loyal to your work and others while pursuing it.
Else too, results will follow but with hollowness.
You can expect:
- Questioning self-worth, your relationship to possessions, and one-on-one connections.
- Break-ups, separations, leaving jobs, giving notices to companies if they have for long time been dangling on weak foundations
- Ex lovers popping up but avoid connecting unless parted with respect or there is genuine apology
- Fixing old things, furnitures, cleaning, cleansing, healing, long pending tasks of getting organised will find momentum
- Unnecessary spendings to beat the void. Whatever spent in such cases is less likely to be profitable in long term
- Struggle between values-morals set by society or others others and self
- Conflicts with what you truly want to do and what must actually be done.
- Reaching out for knowledge, guidance, advices, trips – travels for self exploration.
