Venus is in the shadow period now and will be in Gemini until August.
Its in my 8th house currently conjunct my Dr Venus, will remain in my 8th til its out of the retrograde zone, it will also hit my NN. Venus is ruling my 8th, 12th and is my chart ruler(in the 10th) - I know these areas are going to be affect for the coming few months, - I will be leaving work for a while, have a few hospital appointments that will increase in frequency and have expenses coming up.
Where is it falling in your chart? How do you feel it will affect you?

that is interesting. seems like a lot of 8th house emphasis for you, esp. with Venus also ruling the 8th, and conjunct Dr Venus. Seems pretty important.
I actually have no clue when Venus will turn retrograde or on which degree and how far she will retrograde.
Anyway right now Tr Venus is actually exactly conjunct my DESC with 1 minute of orb. lol it had been opposing my Mars on 5 Gemini, conjunct my Draco Moon on 6 Gemini and will move on to oppose Neptune on 9 Sag, conjunct SN on 10 Gemini, trine Pluto on 9 Libra and square Jupiter on 11 Pisces. this transit of Venus to my Mars-ASC has been quite interesting, also busy communications. lol
oh of course that means that Tr Venus will be in my 7th house, or actually just crossed the DESC today.

"Venus will station retrograde on May 13, 2020 at 21°50’ Gemini and will station direct on June 25 at 5°20’ Gemini."
"Venus retrogrades only occur in five areas of the sky (which form a pentagram), and these repeat in the same sign every 8 years—so, the last Venus retrograde in Gemini was in the spring of 2012, and before that in the spring of 2004. It’s often very useful and informative to look back at these times for repeating symbols and patterns regarding sensuality and love, social life, the arts, and fashion."

I'm focused on that full moon eclipse on June 5th. The eclipse chart features:
15 Gem sun, 12 Gem Venus Rx 15 Pisces Mars conjunct 16 Pisces draconic sun, 13 Pisces draco Venus Rx 15 Sag moon conjunct 16 Sag draconic Mars
K, the heliocentric north node of Venus is 16.51 Gem, so this eclipse is "Venusian" automatically, if you believe in helio nodes...
My Mars @ 16 Gem, moon @ 18 Pisces, so that's my connection and maybe something is going to happen. Can't imagine what. Life is so restricted and boring nowadays. Maybe we'll be let out in public again?
My EVC with the eclipse has Venus-NN @ 9 Virgo conjunct ASC @ 10 Virgo.
Cannot decipher or imagine anything dramatic at this point. Maybe as the time approaches I will feel something looming but eclipses can be pretty anticlimactic for me, or the effect seems to span a few months before and after and mark out a phase.

I cannot remember what happened the last time venus was retro in gemini. I think it 2003/2004 was around the time i realised there actually might be someone who is interested in dating me lol. I didnt have much interest in romance before then or after that actually, took me a while longer to have a first date, but i never thought anyone would be interested. Actually I think it would have been in the first half of 2004 as I was sharing a house with my friends and they were having parties all the time and there was one who was interested. I cant remember the exact time to be honest but it was around that time. 2012 have no idea. I think it would be significant as i have a few placements in sagitarius,gemini and virgo as well. lumina - it would have entered the shadow period at 5 deg gemini, so i guess will be in your 7th for more/less the whole duration shadow/retro/shadow? @ava - I agree life is feeling really restricted. Its not something someone with alot of gemini energy would enjoy as they are pretty restless, so I guess will be interesting(maybe i should choose better wording) to see how the lockdown is affected. I think(hope) by that time things will ease a bit. I am finding sometime more time to read now books i got a long time back but never got the time, maybe it will the same for alot of people. pls dnt quote

For me, it's going Rx within a degree of my 8th house sun. According to The Astrology Podcast, it should revisit issues from.8 years ago when it went Rx @ 22° Gemini, exactly conjunct my sun. 8 years ago, I went through a most painful breakup with my ex-wife. I really don't need to revisit this, do I? At least nobody can be unfaithful to me if there's nobody in a relationship with me... :/
As for the virus and the lockdown... This mess started with the eclipse at the end of 2019. It came here with Saturn Pluto. It started getting widely known when Mercury reentered Aqua by retrograde, and the social restrictions came in place with Saturn entering Aqua (Aquarius being a societial sign). I believe that things will ease up about when Saturn turns Rx in May (13th?). And increasingly so when it departs Aqua back to Capricorn, there to bring about some post mortem in the political realm. But expect it to return when Saturn reenters Aqua late this year, though this time with Jupiter as a companion instead of Mars, perhaps it will go more smoothly.

Hi geminiblues - I personally don't think venus rx always means revisiting exes, any time someone from my past has popped up its usually been during a mercury rx(i guess because it rules my moon?). Venus rx usually causes me issues with the person i am currently with. Maybe it might make you re-think in that area of life especially as it's in the 8th house, maybe in doing this it will make you think about your ex and what you want and dont want from a person. This kind of thing. Maybe you will meet someone during this time. I dont know just pondering. 8th house is also money opposing the 2nd(luxury, things of value, our own money, food etc.. a venus house) venus is also about things we like - so you could be re-evaluating these areas too - thinking do you have enough money should you save more etc especially in this economic climate. Gemini is transiting through my 8th house and i am re-thinking my diet habits, im pregnant and have put on way more weight than i intended. Pls dnt quote

Ava Wow! An eclipse tailored just for your big pattern! This will be interesting. I hope it will bring a great breakthrough and happy times! Yeah I know Moon-Mars-square and all. But hey at least you might be able to express your truest emotions! geminiblues yes, that makes a lot of sense to me astrologically! vg yes, Venus will be in my 7th house, which spans from 7 Gemini to 11 Cancer. It seems Venus will station just 10 minutes off the opposition to my natal Mars. For me, the retro time seems to had me socially withdrawn/ restricted (though voluntarily, not like now. ) and also reevaluating social life and these things. But actually the months after that retro phase proved to be very socially active, and theatre, music and movies playing a very large role after that period. A lot of karthartic stuff going on. But hey what do I expect? My Venus is square Pluto natally. Also it seems that social groups played a role in both of these years, and actually in retrospect me being a bit blind to the attention that was given to me. But well you have to be really blunt and straightforward with me, or I won´t get that you like me, speaking of male attention here. Maybe because my natal Venus is actually in inconjunct to Gemini Venus (6 degrees would be the exact hit). I just don`t get it, if guys are too subtle and will think they are simply friendly and polite. But I also have fond memories of the times coming after the Venus retro, those were very nice summermonths.

Ava looking up the eclipse chart for my location, it puts ASC on 10 Sag, so the eclipse on the horizon. and the eclipse ASC being conjunct my true NN on 10 Sag and also mean Node and Neptune on 9 Sag, and of course conjunct my ASC on 7 Sag The Draco eclipse is cool too! ASC on 10 Virgo. the eclipse itself from 15 Virgo-15 Pisces, falling onto his pr Venus on 15 PIsces applying to conjunct my n Juno on 16 Pisces. The interconnection between draco and tropical eclipse is of course very "eventful". I mean with Draco Mars on 15 Sag and so on.

Ava Wow! An eclipse tailored just for your big pattern! This will be interesting. I hope it will bring a great breakthrough and happy times! Yeah I know Moon-Mars-square and all. But hey at least you might be able to express your truest emotions! What emotions? Pr Venus @ 0 Aqua conjunct tr Saturn, opp natal Saturn. Just being silly (and I love that song). It's a rainy day here in lockdown-land and my imagination is pretty dead. Thanks for sharing your experiences from those previous Venus Rx times. I can't think of a pattern. I was pregnant, spring 2004, but I'd have to rummage around in my old journals to find details. Spring 2012 I was just starting to learn astrology & spending time at LL. 2010-2011 was brutal for me emotionally (tr Saturn square my sun) and I was recovering with this new hobby and adjusting to my overwhelming life (two houses, five children, three cats, and more...love my sun square Jupiter so much.)

Sorry lumina, I should have thanked you for your good wishes there. You understand where I am at this point in my romantic/non-romantic history...and why I have no hope for anything in particular. vg "I am finding sometime more time to read now books i got a long time back but never got the time, maybe it will the same for alot of people." -- Such a good point, people are talking more about books lately! So Gem Venus. geminiblues - Thanks for that insightful analysis/prediction. 12YearsABlob3/26/21 - "Relationship Rapture Day" - Yikes. Sun-Venus will conjunct my draco comp sun with my ex; it's a very sensitive point and transits there have often played out tangibly, according to the transit (for instance, sun-Chiron was there last month and we were talking about the meltdown, though technically we're not talking; tr Saturn/tr draco Mars there is where we stopped talking years ago.) Well that should be interesting, whether something happens or not. If not, maybe we've finally succeeded in a more total ending. Pls don't quote

Ava yes, I know. But in my observation often something is coming when we least expect it. And our expectations/ hopes etc. couldnt be any lower, so who knows? and you are starting a new cycle in your romantic/ social/ cultural life, and yeah it starts with restrictions, but usually it gets better with time esp. if Saturn is involved.

Ava , Wow, really? So, the draco Comp. Sun is close to the Aries point. Could it be part of why an ending has been so hard? That part of the zodiac is built for beginnings.. And yeah, Saturn grinding on Mars is definitely the kind of wet blanket that puts things off. This time it'll be Sun-Venus, though -- so, completely different flavour? It seems primed for an astrological renewal.. Okay, I don't want to jinx it, but I'd like to wait and see how it plays out.

Thanks again lumina . 12YearsABlob , "Sun is close to the Aries point. Could it be part of why an ending has been so hard? That part of the zodiac is built for beginnings.." Maybe! I'm checking and his pr draco sun (nodal chart birth time) will be @ 0° Aries on that date (3/26/21). There's a lot to unpack there and I'm tempted to, just because I like when "the stars align" and the timing just looks so perfect. But I shouldn't let astrology be my enabler in an unhealthy love addiction or whatever that was. Sorry to revisit this but I see we're in the Venus Rx shadow period and it's Gemini and this is my longwinded story.

Hey all, not sure if or where the appropriate place would be to say this, but I was FireMoon on another forum and I'm so happy to find this group and see that you're all still around! A member here told me about it several years ago but that was a tumultuous time and I hadn't thought to look into it again until now. The isolation of this quarantine is what prompted me to ask about it but maybe it's fitting to find myself here with the upcoming Venus Retrograde.
Not sure where to start explaining what life has been like.. I've been sober for 2.5 years now (I'm sure it was apparent to most I had a drinking problem and tNeptune square my moon was the beginning of the end of my unraveling). But tPluto conjunct my Sun has really whipped me into shape.
I used to talk excessively about the Cancer Sun guy I was in love with and we're still in each other's lives romantically.. it definitely hasn't always been an easy ride and the future is still uncertain, but I remain cautiously optimistic. I was thinking back to 2012 and realized that was a major turning point with him, so maybe this has the potential to be a new phase of growth, although maybe not. If there's anything I've learned it's too not have too rigid of expectations..
Anyway, again it's so great to see everyone! I think astrology is similar to learning a new language in that if you don't use it you lose it, which is kind of where I'm at with it now.. I don't remember half the terms or intricacies I used to be able to easily discuss. But I learned a huge amount from the members here and look forward to being able to chat again!

Hi FireMoon!! Love your new screen name: hibiscus Faith here <- I will erase that. So glad you're doing well! Wasn't that Saturn-Pluto conjunction very close to your sun? Tr Pluto on my sun was barely noticeable but tr Saturn kicked my butt like it did the first time. I do remember the Cancer guy. (Is he from another country?) It's nice to know you two are still in each other's lives. At LL I used to talk about my "ex-soulmate"...against all odds and reason, we reconnected (I'm referring to him above) and got closure. If someone told me back then that this would be the outcome, I would have been ecstatic. This forum can be slow at times and I'm sorry to say I still accidentally stir up drama occasionally. But welcome!!! Let us know if you need us to clarify anything astrological and refresh your memory. So glad to see you!
