Venus is retrograde from March 2 to April 15, 2017.
As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are times when we re-assess what—and who—we value. It is a period that many astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Major financial undertakings are not advised during this period either. Venus retrograde cycles are good times for creating budgets and financial plans, and for re-thinking our personal relationships. Taking final action in the areas of finance and love, however, is not advised until Venus turns direct again.
Because Venus rules beauty and aesthetics, Venus Retrograde is a less than ideal time for beautification processes (new hairdos, enhancements, purchasing a new wardrobe, cosmetic surgery, and so forth), renovations, redecorating, and the like. Because Venus is associated with social events, parties may not go as planned.
On the subject of love, past lovers may re-appear, and some relationships may end. With Venus retrograde in Aries much of its retrograde cycle, our needs for action may be especially high but frustrated. We may question how much independence and confidence we have in our relationships. With Venus in Pisces towards the end of the cycle, the tendency for misplaced faith, or to be blind-sighted, in love may be strong. The compassion we’re seeking may be missing now.
Old friends and lovers may re-appear, perhaps complicating current relationships. We are called upon to deal with relationship issues from the past during this Venus retrograde cycle. Events occur that seem fated or predestined. It can be a real challenge getting close to a lover during this period. Unorthodox, experimental, and non-intimate relationships may be favored.
Venus is in its detriment in the sign of Aries (Aries is opposite Libra, which Venus rules). Some of the more negative associations of Venus in Aries may be particularly prominent and/or hard to take, and these include impatience, arrogance, and childishness or naivety. Those who have Aries strong in their charts may be more introspective, distant, or hard to reach during this cycle. They may not be in a very favorable light just now, and they may be reconsidering things.
Relationships that have been especially challenging may come to an end during this cycle. However, strong relationships will survive it, even if there are a few bumps and bruises along the way. This can be a good time for “eyes wide open” or experimental dating, although opinions and assessments may change at a later date. It is not a time when people recognize the need for another person to “complete” them. Some people may be questioning whether they are with partners who actually fulfill them. We may, however, be especially in touch with our deeper, less obvious, and less superficial needs and wants. This makes it a good time for re-evaluating our relationship needs; but, again, major love decisions are best saved for after the cycle ends on April 15th, and better yet, beyond the shadow phase as well (after May 18th). Our perceptions may be skewed, and we can come out of the retrograde cycle with regret if we’ve acted hastily, as the tendency to change our minds later is strong.

Posted by MyStarsShineThat could be a sign of youthfulness...also immaturity, on his part...and possibly he passed something onto you, like maybe you worry less, and seize the day. Sex also represents joy in life...
Dreaming about exes a lot.....one of them trying to have sex with me, but in the dreams he is a lot younger than he is now lol
What is happening with your Mark?
I just feel really alone, no social life, and the years are whooshing by...
My ex is sending sappy messages and love songs again. He has been doing it on and off for almost a year now. They still make my heart stop but I'm reacting differently now. I'm just not replying.
We're all just going through some shit... we'll get over this though...
What if you have Venus in Pisces and Venus is retrograding from Aries to Pisces.. how would that affect your natal Venus??

I'm doing good, just working hard as usual, maybe too hard.
Posted by DeeLovesRedWell Pisces and Lib are good friends, it's even exalted...so it should be good...there might be some introspection but it will be around the theme of hedonism...parties..

Posted by HareWtf ???
I've been pooping a lot.
Other than that...Nothing.
From what I learnt, when a planet is retrograde in a transit, its effects will be more subtle, deep but not so evident, its like the planet is acting in the backstage.
at this time all is going well enough - it was bumpy in my new relationship of 4 months just prior to the actual retrograde begin date but we worked through that ... finances were also shytty during this same period - but I have laid back and just gone with the flow ... and things are looking ok
at times I wish my most recent ex bf would try to contact me because I just want to pick his brain but nah
my ex-husband did call me and tried to "see how I'm doing" and I said just fine and so he said well ok and hung up lol - then I texted him the next day and said "I would appreciate if you would not contact me anymore" ... haven't heard back - he always has a motive and I didn't want to hear it - it's been 4 years since divorce so move on dude!
everybody just needs to chill and hang in there and I hope nothing bad happens to anyone !

Posted by JustJulesIt would probably be easier, yeah, you might, have a lot of pieces that you left behind like a trail, l can imagine you picking up clues and remembering important stuff about yourself, and your destiny, during a retrograde...
Is the effect different if you are born during a Venus retrograde?
Sorry you're having a rough time with this @bricklemark. I've been feeling unusually lonely/alone and looking for company during this too...
Slowly killing me, and putting me into a massive depression. So, GREAT!

I like this, thank you!

It's odd, my business has slowed down and I actually had one customer call me to tell me she wanted to avoid buying anything because of Venus being in retrograde. It was strange as hell.
But I've noticed that there are more interests coming into my life recently. It's tempting but I don't know if I should take advantage of this and try to commit during this time. I feel fine for the most part, but the month did start off roughly.

Yippie! (Eva does a jig)...my birthday was on the 2nd of March (Texas Independence day) when the retro began and I cut my hair two weeks ago. I met a guy on a dating website, went to SPOKEO, looked him up and he is a scammer!! I called him up on it, deleted him on said dating website, and my phone (he keeps calling/texting)..jerk! I met another guy on same website as he lives two hours from my hometown (we'll see what happens) and this one sounds LEGIT (he wants to attend a Spurs game w/me); as I'll look him up on SPOKEO, too. I don't trust any man's intentions (even if I met him at the grocery store); so that means my radar is strong and kicking!
My finances are GREAT! I have lowered my home/auto insurance; but my son's tv (cable) keeps going on the blink twice now and it's aggravating me!
Lord God help the guy that TRIES to come back to my life as I'll tear him a new hole!
I am NOT that desperate as I have a right hand (evil grin here, too) and I don't want anything to jeopardize the new guy that will one day walk into my life....nine more days!! Other than than I dreamt of a guy telling me, "I saw your toes curl"....hmmmmmm.
cyber hugs! Love,
Eva
PS: Edited to add. My ex-husband texted me last week. I texted back, "Fu*ck off". Told ya I'd tear a new hole!
Posted by DeeLovesRedYessssss, same here! been contacted by ex's. haha is even funny.
I see a lot of people from my past appearing.
Like in thoughts, conversations and sometimes they contact me. Venus went retro on my birthday, so the people from the past has been saying "happy belated bday"... which turns into long conversations..
Posted by HareIt's not a Venus! It's just poor diet. Does it sink or floats? It has to float!
I've been pooping a lot.
Other than that...Nothing.
Sink - you are eating shit!
I've seen both my recent exes during this Venus retrograde!
One after 5 months of NC, the other one after one year on NC followed by 6 months of online chatting. The former asked to meet for coffee on my birthday. The latter refused to meet me, so I went to his social dancing venue to see him.
I felt fine about seeing them, no outburst of emotion. I gently rejected the former and danced several times with the latter.
The latter decided to dump me during the previous Venus retrograde (and informed me about it soon after Venus went direct).
Now what
?

Posted by Infinite8No, this is the perfect time to end it. I guess you see how destructive they are. Libra venus means you have a strong affinity with others, you inherited a strong social ability from your parents, and a taste for the arts, and beauty, and it's a part of you that is also introspective, and clairvoyant. You probably have-or should have a meditation room, with all your favorite objects, and take time to ponder things. Your path is probably more spiritual.Posted by bricklemarkThanks for sharing and helping me better understand.
Venus is retrograde from March 2 to April 15, 2017.
As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are times when we re-assess what—and who—we value. It is a period that many astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Major financial undertakings are not advised during this period either. Venus retrograde cycles are good times for creating budgets and financial plans, and for re-thinking our personal relationships. Taking final action in the areas of finance and love, however, is not advised until Venus turns direct again.
Because Venus rules beauty and aesthetics, Venus Retrograde is a less than ideal time for beautification processes (new hairdos, enhancements, purchasing a new wardrobe, cosmetic surgery, and so forth), renovations, redecorating, and the like. Because Venus is associated with social events, parties may not go as planned.
On the subject of love, past lovers may re-appear, and some relationships may end. With Venus retrograde in Aries much of its retrograde cycle, our needs for action may be especially high but frustrated. We may question how much independence and confidence we have in our relationships. With Venus in Pisces towards the end of the cycle, the tendency for misplaced faith, or to be blind-sighted, in love may be strong. The compassion we’re seeking may be missing now.
Old friends and lovers may re-appear, perhaps complicating current relationships. We are called upon to deal with relationship issues from the past during this Venus retrograde cycle. Events occur that seem fated or predestined. It can be a real challenge getting close to a lover during this period. Unorthodox, experimental, and non-intimate relationships may be favored.
Venus is in its detriment in the sign of Aries (Aries is opposite Libra, which Venus rules). Some of the more negative associations of Venus in Aries may be particularly prominent and/or hard to take, and these include impatience, arrogance, and childishness or naivety. Those who have Aries strong in their charts may be more introspective, distant, or hard to reach during this cycle. They may not be in a very favorable light just now, and they may be reconsidering things.
Relationships that have been especially challenging may come to an end during this cycle. However, strong relationships will survive it, even if there are a few bumps and bruises along the way. This can be a good time for “eyes wide open” or experimental dating, although opinions and assessments may change at a later date. It is not a time when people recognize the need for another person to “complete” them. Some people may be questioning whether they are with partners who actually fulfill them. We may, however, be especially in touch with our deeper, less obvious, and less superficial needs and wants. This makes it a good time for re-evaluating our relationship needs; but, again, major love decisions are best saved for after the cycle ends on April 15th, and better yet, beyond the shadow phase as well (after May 18th). Our perceptions may be skewed, and we can come out of the retrograde cycle with regret if we’ve acted hastily, as the tendency to change our minds later is strong.
In matters of romantic relationships, it hasn't affected me at all.
But, I have felt it with friendships and a family member.
In a way, I have been put in situations where I see the clear picture that is helping me make final decisions. They all hurt very deeply, but... I also am feeling a calm in the deciding factor.
Would you say that making a decision to end friendships is a bad thing right now?

The latter decided to dump me during the previous Venus retrograde (and informed me about it soon after Venus went direct).
Now what
Wdym?
I'll wait for him to realise I'm the best he ever had and ever will. And change his life plans accordingly (he wants to leave the UK in three years time). Because we were very good together, and true love doesn't grow on trees.click to expand
We are both in the UK, but he wants to move to Spain in 3 years.
Posted by bricklemarkInteresting, thank youPosted by MyStarsShineThat could be a sign of youthfulness...also immaturity, on his part...and possibly he passed something onto you, like maybe you worry less, and seize the day. Sex also represents joy in life...
Dreaming about exes a lot.....one of them trying to have sex with me, but in the dreams he is a lot younger than he is now lol
What is happening with your Mark?

Haven't noticed
My libra is always a pain in the ass so not sure if we're bickering more than normal.

Things with my boyfriend came to a head. He stopped talking to me, I freaked out. He unblocked me and blocked me again. Going on a week of NC currently.
I've gained 4 pounds.
Been severely depressed.
Got hit with some major realizations about my inability and fear of being alone, never finding someone. Yet I've only been alone for 8 months since I was 19.
Huge slap in the face of all my flaws in relationship. I can be extremely critical and harsh.
So yeah. REALLY hyped. It all started two days before retrograde. Coincidence?!?

Posted by bricklemarkI was very very angry yesterday. But, DXP helped me laugh.

I was very angry... I have kept cool for so long. I thought it was sun in Aries.
This is funny but, how I was feeling.

Best of luck tho, it gets easier ?✊?. And of course it's no coincidence, astrology really works.
Posted by DistilledThat's Aries for ya ? It should get better...half way through.
Fuck this one!
Friends parent passed suddenly. No words.
I got a painful sport injury. Hoping to recoup in the pre-season.
It was brought to my attention that someone with a serious mental issue around my area is "infatuated" with me... and know where I reside.
Have been having surreal dreams. That's normal, but these are specific.
Great. Just great. ://////

Posted by EvatheDivaThat is some hardcore activity...do you habe Aries in the chart?Posted by EvatheDivaPosted by bricklemarkHugs, Mark, for posting this for us!
Venus is retrograde from March 2 to April 15, 2017.
As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are times when we re-assess what—and who—we value. It is a period that many astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Major financial undertakings are not advised during this period either. Venus retrograde cycles are good times for creating budgets and financial plans, and for re-thinking our personal relationships. Taking final action in the areas of finance and love, however, is not advised until Venus turns direct again.
Because Venus rules beauty and aesthetics, Venus Retrograde is a less than ideal time for beautification processes (new hairdos, enhancements, purchasing a new wardrobe, cosmetic surgery, and so forth), renovations, redecorating, and the like. Because Venus is associated with social events, parties may not go as planned.
On the subject of love, past lovers may re-appear, and some relationships may end. With Venus retrograde in Aries much of its retrograde cycle, our needs for action may be especially high but frustrated. We may question how much independence and confidence we have in our relationships. With Venus in Pisces towards the end of the cycle, the tendency for misplaced faith, or to be blind-sighted, in love may be strong. The compassion we’re seeking may be missing now.
Old friends and lovers may re-appear, perhaps complicating current relationships. We are called upon to deal with relationship issues from the past during this Venus retrograde cycle. Events occur that seem fated or predestined. It can be a real challenge getting close to a lover during this period. Unorthodox, experimental, and non-intimate relationships may be favored.
Venus is in its detriment in the sign of Aries (Aries is opposite Libra, which Venus rules). Some of the more negative associations of Venus in Aries may be particularly prominent and/or hard to take, and these include impatience, arrogance, and childishness or naivety. Those who have Aries strong in their charts may be more introspective, distant, or hard to reach during this cycle. They may not be in a very favorable light just now, and they may be reconsidering things.
Relationships that have been especially challenging may come to an end during this cycle. However, strong relationships will survive it, even if there are a few bumps and bruises along the way. This can be a good time for “eyes wide open” or experimental dating, although opinions and assessments may change at a later date. It is not a time when people recognize the need for another person to “complete” them. Some people may be questioning whether they are with partners who actually fulfill them. We may, however, be especially in touch with our deeper, less obvious, and less superficial needs and wants. This makes it a good time for re-evaluating our relationship needs; but, again, major love decisions are best saved for after the cycle ends on April 15th, and better yet, beyond the shadow phase as well (after May 18th). Our perceptions may be skewed, and we can come out of the retrograde cycle with regret if we’ve acted hastily, as the tendency to change our minds later is strong.
Yippie! (Eva does a jig)...my birthday was on the 2nd of March (Texas Independence day) when the retro began and I cut my hair two weeks ago. I met a guy on a dating website, went to SPOKEO, looked him up and he is a scammer!! I called him up on it, deleted him on said dating website, and my phone (he keeps calling/texting)..jerk! I met another guy on same website as he lives two hours from my hometown (we'll see what happens) and this one sounds LEGIT (he wants to attend a Spurs game w/me); as I'll look him up on SPOKEO, too. I don't trust any man's intentions (even if I met him at the grocery store); so that means my radar is strong and kicking!
My finances are GREAT! I have lowered my home/auto insurance; but my son's tv (cable) keeps going on the blink twice now and it's aggravating me!
I did some MAJOR spring cleaning this past weekend as it surprised the "procrastination" side of me! And I ordered clothes and shoes this week!
Went out to the club (by myself) last Friday and had a ball!!! Got drunk as a skunk (I took a taxi to and from) and a guy tried to pick me up....not!!
Lord God help the guy that TRIES to come back to my life as I'll tear him a new hole!
Other than than I dreamt of a guy telling me, "I saw your toes curl"....hmmmmmm.
Love,
Eva
PS: Edited to add. My ex-husband texted me last week. I texted back, "Fu*ck off". Told ya I'd tear a new hole!click to expand
Posted by Infinite8Awesome best of luck ?Posted by bricklemarkYes, I can clearly see how destructive they are - and I purposely put myself in situations that will allow me to see it more clearly, just to make sure.Posted by Infinite8No, this is the perfect time to end it. I guess you see how destructive they are. Libra venus means you have a strong affinity with others, you inherited a strong social ability from your parents, and a taste for the arts, and beauty, and it's a part of you that is also introspective, and clairvoyant. You probably have-or should have a meditation room, with all your favorite objects, and take time to ponder things. Your path is probably more spiritual.Posted by bricklemarkThanks for sharing and helping me better understand.

In matters of romantic relationships, it hasn't affected me at all.
But, I have felt it with friendships and a family member.
In a way, I have been put in situations where I see the clear picture that is helping me make final decisions. They all hurt very deeply, but... I also am feeling a calm in the deciding factor.
Would you say that making a decision to end friendships is a bad thing right now?
I have Venus in Libra - 12th house
Yes, having a strong affinity (sympathy, empathy, bonding, connecting) is definitely my way of expressing love to others. It is also true that both my parents are exceptionally social and have lots of friends! Funny...
Yes, parents and grandparents adore the arts, fashion and all things beauty. I share a lot of that.
Yes, I can be clairvoyant at times... but not always. I've noticed that I am dependent on the connection I have with the other person. It seems like it is not an independent ability.
I meditate every day, but a meditation room sounds ideal for my husband and I... great idea!
Thank you!
Ending doesn't seem so bad right now, glad it's a good time to do so!click to expand
Had a handful of one-time dates reach out to me.
Also, got some closure with the Scorp only for him to reach out via text last Monday followed by a phone call several hours later. Didn't respond to either. I did entertain revenge for a hot minute but decided to just chill and let the silence do its job.
Took an exam that I had to drive 3 hours one way for, last Friday... Passed!
So, all in all, going somewhat smooth. If only I could get my work hours up but I realize it takes time.
As for dating, that's all on the back burner until the end of April. (not that I'm putting an actual date on things) I'm feeling good and in no hurry to meet someone. More focused on family and friends right now.
My friends, though... damn. They're going through so much. Breakups. Death. Deployment. The list goes on and on...

@bricklemark
Thanks for the definition!
No one from the past reached out to me, altho i have been considering reaching out to someone.
Stopped talking to someone 'bout a week ago, mostly due to their retardation.
Not sure how much the retragrade impacted that. lol

I've been spending a lot of money.
I usually don't.
I usually don't.
Haven't had any exes pop up...thank God...but I have been particularly nostalgic about a friend that I'm interested in. Remembering how strong our friendship used to be. We're still somewhat close but not how it was in the beginning.
Ex husband has been consistently stalking me.
Follows me around.
Calls my phone at odd times of the night.
Caught his first case from beating on his new wife.
Called me to bail him out. Denied his request.
Yeah. Venus regularlator, retrograde, restriction,what the fuck ever, just be done.
I need some donuts.
