Depending on our sign and the houses that are affected, it will determine how it will affect us.
However, the theme of Venus in Capricorn it is quite different from other love planet transits.
While the details are different, the theme here is value.
This means that we will ask what we really value, how we feel valued and who contributes most to that.
In astrology, the big houses we should pay attention to for our love life it’s the seventhwhich governs relationships, the fourthhome and family, and even the twelfth or eighthwhich is about secrets and sex.
However, Venus retrograde has an interesting history, one to pay attention to as we begin to move through the process of what it means for us and our lives.
Originally, Venus was thought to be two separate stars. During this time, she is seen as an evening star, and later a morning star.
It was then that it was discovered that in fact he descends to the underworld during his retrograde only to resurface later.
This is part of the theme the death and rebirth that we will all see unfold in different ways in our lives.
In the myth attached to Venus retrograde, she descends into the underworld, she is asked to get rid of seven different parts of herself until she is naked and feels very raw and vulnerable.
Only once she has shed the parts of herself that she no longer needs, reborn as a morning star.
The rebirth date of Venus is January 8 of the following yearso while its retrograde will not complete at that time, it will have resurfaced, which means we can expect see new beginnings and growth in our relationships during that time.
The most challenging part of your retrograde will be December 19when it will slow down to start this phase until on January 7.
Pay attention to the topics, conversations, and feelings right now, as they are all part of a bigger picture, especially as they relate to courage, fundamentals, and commitment.
Adding a fun ingredient to the mix is the Venus-Pluto conjunction and Saturn Uranus square that occur during that time, which it brings an intensity and unexpected events to that period.
But remember, everything is only temporary.
‘Cause this retrograde is really about showing us what will really last forever.
Zodiac signs whose ex returns during Venus retrograde, December 2021:
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Retrogrades are notorious for having ex-boyfriends come back into their lives, and while this can be both good and bad depending on the situation, be prepared for this one to be even more bumpy than normal. Venus is going all out in Capricorn.
You will feel how appreciated you feel by those in your life, especially through a relationship dynamic. But it will also play a big part in any secrets you have in your relationships, both past and present. This is thanks to Capricorn hanging out in his 7th house of relationships, which during retrograde means things from the past abound, this also includes ex-lovers.
With that link to feeling valued, you may realize you’ve had a cycle of being around emotionally unavailable people, or it may be because an ex hadn’t appreciated you at some point. Still, now they are, and so they’re coming back to see if they can get back the one that got away.
With the Moon in Gem hanging in your twelfth as Venus turns RX, it means that something in your life is about to be exposed. These could be feelings that an ex has for you or even feelings for an ex that you are hiding from your current partner. Not a horrible time to at least give a former ex time to chat, just be careful not to jump in too quickly, at least until before January 8.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
As one of the dominant Venus signs, it’s no wonder there’s something unexpected in store for you during this retrograde season; the only thing is that it can get too close to home. Literally. While changes in our relationships are expected during this time for you, it is something we need to be a little more cautious about.
That’s because Venus in Capricorn illuminates your 4th house of home and family, while direct Chiron (also on the 19th) activates your 7th house of relationships.
It’s possible for an ex to come back in a big way, especially if it was someone you previously lived with or were even engaged to. But your story seems a bit more optimistic, thanks to Chiron. It’s possible that with this asteroid spinning directly on the same day, this is a story of people who need to spend some time apart before they can get back together.
Chiron is all about healing, so in this case, you or your ex might have had the time you both needed to work on yourselves and may now be ready to get back together. Let’s assume it’s not someone you were so seriously involved with. In that case, you need to prepare yourself because the relationship, if it comes together, can move faster than expected.
There’s nothing to necessarily be too wary of, other than if you’re talking to an ex. Still, he currently lives with someone, so it may be safe to explore this. Just make sure you’re practicing all the lessons you’ve recently learned.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
People usually hear about an ex coming back and it makes our stomachs churn, and while it can be a positive in some cases, unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like that case to you. Capricorn enters your twelfth house of secrets. While this may be the unconscious, in terms of Venus Retrograde, it’s usually about things that happened that we didn’t know about at the time.
This may cause you to think differently about an ex in your life and may change your mind about being friends with them. Or even think that they could be part of your future. Just beware of people from your past who aren’t really honest with you because, with Taurus in the fourth house and family from him, you might get surprising news or even an extra vacation guest.
This is because while Venus is deep in the underworld and getting rid of everything it no longer needs, we will experience the third and final square for 2021 between Uranus and Saturn. Uranus is the planet of surprises and unexpected events. So, hanging out in the house that rules the most intimate part of your life while Venus makes her way through one of the secrets means that things are not likely to go as planned for the next few weeks.
You are also concluding your return to Jupiter, so try to see that everything is happening for your highest good. Be vigilant and be careful which direct messages you reply to. You don’t have to reply to every message you receive.
