Venus rules your money, your relationships and above all what makes you happy. One of the best things you can do during a Venus retrograde is to think hard about what makes you happy, what brings love and joy into your life.
This is a good time to complete any unfinished business you have around finances and relationships. For example, you may come up with a new plan to get out of debt, you may be in an unhealthy business partnership that needs to be redefined or terminated, you may have a great new business idea that needs more planning and structure before you can proceed.
In your relationships, people from the past can come back into your life so that you can resolve any outstanding issues that may be preventing you from moving on with your life. Have you learned the lessons associated with this relationship? If you have had challenges in a relationship, this could be a good time for a reconciliation.
Venus retrograde tends to slow down everything related to money and love, giving you plenty of time to think things through and see the big picture more clearly.
With Venus retrograde in Capricorn, you are likely to be focused on money and business, as Capricorn rules big business, debt, financial institutions, banking, and insurance. Capricorn is also ruled by Saturn, so he may need to restructure his finances and relationships or anything that isn’t working for him in these areas. There could be endings and endings to make way for something new and more fulfilling to come into your life.
Do you have enough balance in your relationships? Are you giving too much? Are you taking too much?
It’s a good time to examine your spending habits, and with Venus retrograde in Capricorn, you may need to buckle down and spend only on what you need rather than what you want.
Since this retrograde occurs over the holidays and New Year’s, I would suggest waiting until after December 20 before buying any luxury or large items because you will probably find big price reductions and lots of deals once Venus turns retrograde. I anticipate finding many great deals at most retail stores.
If you buy anything during this time, be sure to save all receipts, warranties, and warranties, as things can get lost during a retrograde. I once bought a coat during Venus retrograde for $150.00 and returned it to the store because it didn’t fit very well. Instead of refunding $150.00 to my credit card, they refunded only $15.00! It took me months to get the rest of the money out of them.
On the personal front, you may meet someone and you may feel like you are falling in love with that person. Try to go slow during retrograde, take your time, because when Venus goes direct on January 31, 2014, this person may not be exactly who you thought they were and you could end up very disappointed. As long as you’ve gone slowly and haven’t gotten too emotionally entangled, then you won’t be devastated if things don’t turn out as well as you hoped.
Venus also rules the currency of a country, its money.
All over the world our economy is changing and falling apart and during this retrograde I would not be surprised if we see even more bankruptcies on a global scale and also on a personal level where people have become overburdened with financial commitments that they cannot meet. .
If you have been working hard, are debt-free, and your relationships are healthy and based on integrity and trust, then this Venus retrograde in Capricorn will not affect you negatively. However, if you’ve been spending too much and your relationships are toxic, then this may be a time of disruption that gives you a chance to balance your finances and relationships once again.
