You may have noted the discussions, disagreements, and topics that surfaced between November 19 and December 19, 2021, while Venus was transiting Capricorn in the pre-retrograde phase. What was your response to them? Have they sparked anything that you are currently dealing with?
Venus slowed down and started traveling backward over the degrees of Capricorn it had already passed when it reached 25 degrees of Capricorn. This most likely brought back discussions and problems from the time before the retrograde for review, reflection, and reevaluation before continuing.
Until January 29, 2022, when Venus stations direct at 11 degrees of Capricorn, this retrograde will continue. Things are going to be extremely charged since this coincides with Jupiter in Pisces in the year 20212022.
Our post-retrograde shadow phase will last from January 29 until March 1, 2022. You may remember that during the Mercury retrograde shadow phase in 2021, a lot of us felt caught in a rut.
Inspiring us to move ahead and take action with whatever concerns developed in our personal lives at this time with more clarity and understanding, Venus will make its final transit over the degrees of 11 to 25 degrees Capricorn. Finally, we are prepared to apply the knowledge we have gained and proceed with assurance.
