Venus Retrogrades – Review, Re-appraise, Re-assess & Repattern
Every two years, Venus retrogrades. This year, Venus is retrograde from December 19, 2021 to January 29, 2022. Venus retrograde is a time to assess and re-evaluate resources, money, values and relationships, their importance and their purpose. Venus, planet of beauty, when retrograde is also a time to renovate and redecorate (carefully) and to bring more beauty into one’s life.
Venus is above all about relationships, as Venus rules Libra (sign of the “I and Thou”). It is a time to assess the quality of our relationships and interactions, their value to us, and how we value ourselves within relationship. As our love nature has turned inward, it’s best to consider others first as friends, rather than lovers. It is definitely NOT a time for becoming engaged or married.
Important note: It is NOT a time to make valuable and important purchases, not a time for loans, excessive use of money. During Venus retrograde the true value of things becomes confused.
As in all retrogrades, people and events from the past appear for continuance, completion or for closure. We might ask ourselves do we love enough? We may feel a difficulty with spontaneity or with expressions of love and care. Relationships that are challenging may end. Nothing superficial is allowed. Venus retrograde can be a deeply spiritual time wherein we create new relational patterns and interactions.
It’s enlightening to remember that the Solar Angels who created us (humanity) came from Venus; our God came from Venus, as did the bees that pollinate flowers.
In the sky, over eight years of Venus retrogrades, a magical geometry is created by Venus. The retrograde cycles, rhythm and motion of Venus create a mystical rose pattern, revolving very slowly in sidereal space. It is a 5-8 ratio (five petals over 8 years) of Venus.
The Mayans who followed the path of Venus knew of this, and called this rose pattern the pentagram or five-petaled rose of Venus. This rose petalled pattern signifies actually the “heart” or essence of Venus as Earth’s elder sister, her guardian of knowledge, wisdom and beauty. When Venus is retrograde she is closest to the Earth. For 40 days and 40 nights, Venus is retrograde. The number forty is significant.
