Planets in Your Horoscope - Electional Astrology: Venus Retrograde on July 27, 2007
July 10th, 2007 at 4:10 pm (Planets and Signs in Astrology)
When Venus turns retrograde at the end of July at 3 ° Virgo, this will be a mixed blessing for Venus. As we know, Venus in Virgo is in the sign of its fall, so it is rather unhappy in that sign. However, as it turns retrograde, it will exit Virgo and go back to the previous sign, Leo, where it is somewhat stronger. Both Leo and Virgo are barren signs, but Leo promises a lot more Venusian fun than Virgo does. Below are some tips on how you can use Venus retrograde for your own purposes.
Electional Astrology Advice
Obviously, if you’re planning some Venusian activities between July 27 and September 9 (when Venus goes direct), you’ll have to be extra careful to choose times when Venus is strong, to compensate for its retrograde weakness.
Now, let’s backtrack a little bit, and talk about some potential Venusian activities. Anything having to do with art, beauty, fashion, and women is of the nature of Venus. If you’re an artist, and your show is opening during this time, to the extent that you can, there are a few days where Venus will be very strong, despite its retrograde status.
Venus also rules sex, pleasure, and partying, so if you’re trying to make your move during Venus retrograde, you will have to be very careful.
First, please don’t do anything until August 9, when Venus returns back into Leo. The few days between August 9 and 12th are particularly auspicious if you’re trying to get some kind of public acclaim or wealth. This is because the Royal fixed star Regulus is at 29° Leo, and Venus will retrograde right over that degree.
Second, it is best if we can take advantage of Venus being in cazimi, or in the heart of the Sun. This is a state where a planet closer than 17.5 minutes in either direction from the Sun is considered extremely strong due to its proximity to the Sun’s life-giving essence. Venus will be in cazimi approximately between 11:45 p.m. GMT on August 17 and 10:45 p.m. GMT on August 18, 2007.
