Venus Return - example

[lumina]

I just had a look at my previous Venus Return (2020), as I noticed that I had an ebook about Venus Returns. I was wondering how the unique situation of last year would show up. I actually thought it wouldn`t. 

Well that was my Venus Return




One of the important things to look up in these returns is of course the houseplacement of Venus. 

This is what I read in that book about Venus in 4th house

"VR Venus in the VR 4th House Much effort this year will go into beautifying the home and its surroundings. Perhaps this will mark a period of time in which the individual rents or buys a place of their own, feels at home for the first time, feels more comfortable in his or her home or spends more time doing enjoyable things there, or hosts more social events and parties in the home. You will like spending more time at home.



Canyon, Justine. The Venus Return (S.15-16). Unknown. Kindle-Version.


Not that I really had a choice. But I actually liked it more than being outside in crowds last year to be honest. And it is also true, I think I was really cleaning up and reorganizing my kitchen for the first time since moving in. esp. the reorganization part. lol 


Obviously not every Venus Return of last year might be like that of course. and there was Moon in 5th house - on the other hand I spent a lot time socializing and watching concerts and communicating, I just did it from home, had to expand my horizon, get out of my comfort zone to do that, and mostly connected to people electronically. how much more Moon in Aqua can it get? 

Well even with that said I actually was visiting some concerts in person, not as many as the years before, but after the lockdown I can think of 5 times when I was in a theatre or in similiar locations, despite it all. Which I think is not bad considering that pretty much everything was closed for most of the time.

and now I should get going and set up m y computer or I will miss tonight`s concert.

I think I remember you saying previously you're a teacher?

Ceres conjunct venus in the 4th trine uranus in then 9th also made me think of teaching from home(ceres/venus in 4th) and not in the school building(uranus in 9th)

Mercury(3rd) trine neptune(7th) - communicating with people but not actually seeing them in person

I am guessing though

[lumina]

Yes, and in my case it fits (Venus rules my MC plus my 5th and 6th house), however Venus-Returns are mainly about Venusian things (so mostly about relating, socializing, pleasure, art the whole Venus-stuff, the fact it rules my MC makes it relevant for my profession and career too of course, but I still would mainly look to the general symbolism of those planets. Like I do not really relate my Solar Return to 9th house stuff (Sun rules my 9th house), though obviously it figures in (Well my Sun is in Sag too).

But yes, in my case here this makes a lot of sense. Especially since the Return ASC fell into my 9th house - so there was the schoolstuff figuring in at least, even though it was not solely about that.

Isn't that ASC/DSC axis on your & P's Jupiter/Jupiter opposition?

What about this year's chart?

Here is my current Venus Return, took place Dec 20, 2020. Weird day. 



Using my rectified birth time, Venus is about one second off there. 

* DSC conjunct my sun...okay, self-love
* This is almost identical to my lunar return chart for that month; my natal moon @ 18 Pisces. 9H Moon-Neptune opp 3H Vesta squaring 12H NN. Good year to talk to myself about Virgo Vesta issues, and get nowhere.  
* All these critical degrees

"Isn't that ASC/DSC axis on your & P's Jupiter/Jupiter opposition?"
Yes. 
his Mars: 11 Virgo
his Jupiter: 10 Virgo
his name in his chart: 10 Virgo
his Amor: 9 Virgo

his Eros: 8 Pisces
my name in his chart 9 Pisces

my Jupiter: 11 Pisces
my Ceres 9 Pisces

at the moment our pr composite Venus is on 10 Pisces I think. 


Well he DID feature majorly in my last year. 

Interestingly the ruler of my Venus-return chart (Mercury on 18 Scorpio) was conjunct my Solar Return ASC on 19 Scorpio - I suppose that was a hint that Venus-related stuff would be important or notable in my overall year. 


will post the Venus return charts for this year, a bit later. well, it is kind of "fresh", but it weirdly was like with the day my Venus Return happened an energetic shift seemed to take place, and with that fullmoon the energy was a bit crazy, (which was closish to P`s Venus-Return for this year). 



in yours VR DESC on your natal Sun seems very important, Selflove yes, but I doubt that this is all there is to it, you possibly will relate to someone on a deeper level, or there will be something connected to Venus-stuff coming up. 
Also Venus is in the 5th house (hmm is the VR ASC in your natal 12th? Not planning to get secretive, are you? Well P has this for this year as well). 
I see you have currently a transit of Tr Uranus quinkunx Venus (of course if I have the trine you have the quinkunx, as our Venus positions are 30 degrees apart), I am usually also focusing on 4th harmonic aspects for transits, but well it is a Return chart, Uranus rules your natal DESC, maybe some hot and cold and trying to find a balance in relation to the crazy people you will relate to? Or getting new ideas but not quite sure how to manifest them in reality? Quinkunx is a bit fluctuating I feel, not the easiest aspect. 

WEll I have Moon quinkunx Saturn natally. not easy, no. But also not as dramatic as maybe a square or opposition would be, it is more like that nagging voice that just won`t let you rest, which is annoying, but at some times can be ignored. 

Have not looked very deeply into your REturn chart, but there is a big 7th house stelium, definitely a Venus-Year, and other people will play quite a role in your life, But Venus itself does not seem to be overly aspected, or did I miss something on my first glance?

also seems like old thought and action patterns in terms of relationships will end. LIke a wrapping up year and shifting perspective especially surrounding what you are willing to give and do in a relationship (I would extend that to friendships and aquaintances too, not just romantic or sexual partners) and what equality means to you and what you need to feel respected and supported. tying up some loose ends maybe too.
At the same time new start in how you relate in committed ways (Juno on 00 Sag), sextile the Great conjunction. New start, new openness in how you commit to others, might feel more natural actually (Venus in Sag natally) and there might be chances for enhancing new chapters in relationships, a building up of foundations as well as expansions, but in nice sublte ways. 

And ther eis of course the Moon-Neptune in 9th house, always there, so more dreams, more psychic hunches, but since this is a Venus-chart, this might also and mainly relate to Venus-stuff, so romance, relationships, art etc.

this is mine for this year

Thank you for reading my chart. Loved the whole thing but I relate so much this part ^^^ today. 

Just have to correct you on sexual partners, plural.  Nothing like that. 

Btw there are many significant natal-to-draco conjunctions in my Venus Return. Tropical sun-Mercury conjunct draco moon-Neptune in late Sag. Maybe you and P will finally get together and my Venus highlight this year will be spectating and listening to stories. 

I know, I know....

But with that in mind, amazing that this full moon hit your VR IC/MC axis and it played out so textbook-like. Venus on the 8H cusp trine 12H Uranus is strong, secretive, and surprising. Venus trine Mars is classic romance. You have 12H Mars anyway so this could seem comfortable, right, like you're naturally built for whatever comes around. Maybe service. Maybe through service you are helping the one(s) you love and raising the vibe of the whole relationship. One pitfall with Neptunian Mars is giving too much...but fortunately this is Taurus Mars, properly greedy.   Well it's really EARTHY and so your appetite for all good things might increase; ideally you find a point of satisfaction that keeps you in a good place, emotionally. I mean maybe even in lean times you have an abiding sense of love, abundance, creativity, so a little bit of affection can go a long way...optimism extending the effects of whatever happens. Hopefully. 

Stellium in the 9th house could reiterate all that good feeling if I'm on the right track. New moon conjunct Pluto isn't the simplest "project" but they have that thematic similarity of transformation or rebirth. Just taking that at face value this could potentially be an enormously important year and my plan to keep my eyes on your drama is not even really a joke. 

Maybe something new with your career? Jupiter-Saturn square Mars-Uranus; I know these are really crazy times for teachers regardless of their Venus Return charts, but this looks substantial, difficult to ignore. Pallas on the MC will guide you; whatever evolves ought to reflect your higher mind and its aspirations. 

Might add more later.

thank you, too!

T"Just have to correct you on sexual partners, plural. Nothing like that."
LOL I did not mean it like that.

Wow, that is crazy! I wonder how this will manifest. 




Maybe you and P will finally get together and my Venus highlight this year will be spectating and listening to stories."
LOL 

I know you are joking, as we both know why that cannot be. But there will be stories, pretty sure of that. 


"But with that in mind, amazing that this full moon hit your VR IC/MC axis and it played out so textbook-like."
Yeah crazy, also on my SR ASC-DESC-axis. 

Well interestingly the ruler of my ASC in the VR and DESC are conjunct, right on the MC. Been thinking about that. To me this looks like some form of relating, maybe a friendship or aquantanceship, or just well some connection, becoming very prominent, very visible. Well it is Mercury-Jupiter in Aqua, so it probably is more likely a friendship, or platonic relations, nevertheless, it is a very exposed Venus return chart for most part, except the secretive Venus-Mars-combo that seems to tell a completely different story here. WEird, almost like two lives (venus return like) in one? 

And that Saturn square Mars, maybe it is good it is there, if that had not been the case, Imight have gotten a tiny little worried about if my decisions might always be driven by moral and ethic principles, but with Saturn there, there will be enough boundaries and restrictions and people and conditions and situations saying: "No" so I will not have to worry about that. lol 

On the other hand Venus ocnjunct Pholus - little actions right? I mean we know Pholus. 


Well it's really EARTHY and so your appetite for all good things might increase;
Yeah interesting, very earthy and airy, both actually. 

New moon conjunct Pluto isn't the simplest "project" but they have that thematic similarity of transformation or rebirth. Just taking that at face value this could potentially be an enormously important year and my plan to keep my eyes on your drama is not even really a joke."
ROFL

Well yeah I find it interesting and certainly it gets my attention having a New Moon chart. The last time I had something like that was in the Solar Return of the year 2018, when there was a New Moon in Sag in my Solar Return chart, though actually it was a balsamic Moon still, as back then it was Moon 19 Sag (Venus 20 Sag9 and Sun 25 Sag. 
But still while not tight or exact, I would definitely count a 6 degree orb there, and yeah Venus was in the mix. It was all taking place in 6th house, but I really had a terrific time that year. 



Maybe something new with your career? Jupiter-Saturn square Mars-Uranus; I know these are really crazy times for teachers regardless of their Venus Return charts, but this looks substantial, difficult to ignore.
Yes, I can see that. 


Pallas on the MC will guide you; whatever evolves ought to reflect your higher mind and its aspirations.

Yes, also Pallas transit have very often proved to be very strong to me, especially transiting that part of the zodiac, over my Venus and then moving into Aqua. Usually come with this between-dream-and-day phenomenon, you know when I tell you about those times when I am not quite dreaming anymore but not awake yet, usually there is some Pallas transit around. 

In this instance I Have just had a Pallas return, cannot have been long before that Venus Return, as my natal Pallas is at 9°10 Aquarius. 



Also some thing I notice is ASC conjunct NN (in my natal 7th house) - this is a reiterated aspect from my natal where I have ASC conjunct NN (but on the other side of the zodiac) - seems downright fitting that transiting NN will eventually conjunct my natal DESC I guess. Anyway it is a repeated aspect. 
Here the square to Neptune-Ceres is VERY noteable. or is it just me? Even though I have all those planets near the MC, it is really that Neptune-Ceres that gets a lot of my attention when looking at that chart. 

I think I realize why, it is not just squaring the horizon, but also dissecting the square of Mars-Uranus to Jupiter-Saturn, possibly especially the Mars-Saturn one, and what a different energy such a Neptune is than Saturn in particular. 
Well I have natally Neptune conjunct NN, so it is interesting that it comes up as the skipped step here in that Chart. So possibly a skipped step in terms of romance, socializing, pleasure etc. 

But what also gets me is, that it seems a little deceptive to me. Like there might be quite some unconditional sacrificing supporting caring indicated, maybe also something more poetic, also something elusive, something very platonic too, or spiritual, also possibly showing up in group situations. (another save the oceans year?) But I cannot help but also see that Mars-Uranus-Lilith trine Venus-Pholus, behind the scenes. 

Everything might not be as it might seem in public? But then when is it ever really? LOL 
Nevertheless no matter what this year is about, it seems interesting.

BTW this is P`s Venus Return, I was being curious about his. lol

I find it interesting that I will have  New Moon year, and he will have a fullmoon year (yeah not exact in his case, but just 6-7 degrees, that is okay in my book for a fullmoon)
