What signs will be affected by Venus Retrograde 2021?
Venus retrograde in 2021 occurs in Saturn-ruled Capricorn, a sign associated with diligence and practicality, and is conjunct Pluto, the planet of metamorphosis, taboo, death, and rebirth, adding to the period’s significance.
How does Venus retrograde affect Sagittarius 2021?
Sagittarius, this Venus retrograde is all about sorting the wheat from the chaff. Who and what are you willing to invest your time, money, and energy in? Spend some time getting in touch with your self-worth and determining what relationships and investments are most important to you. If something is draining or straining you, take a step back and consider how you would be better off without it.
What does it mean to have Venus in Sagittarius?
Above all, Venus in Sagittarius makes you crave excitement, adventure, and spontaneity in your relationships. They crave new experiences and may choose casual couplings to long-term commitments. People born under this sign are open-minded and hopeful about love, enjoying their eternal free spirit. These people will run the other way if they are tied down to a domineering or too possessive mate! Exploring new cultures and countries, as well as embracing the freedom to move, will fuel their passions. Finding someone who appreciates the sojourner lifestyle will give this person the confidence to open out.
Is Venus in Sagittarius good?
When Venus is in Sagittarius, the following signs may have difficulties: Capricorn, Taurus, and Scorpio are the signs of the zodiac.
The big picture: After the gloom of Scorpio, Venus enters Sagittarius to brighten the mood, and the rest of the year is simply a party. When Venus is in Sagittarius, the sign of truth seeking and adventure, there is never a boring moment. Using your relationships as a tool for tremendous growth is the focus of this period. You’ll want to spend as much time as possible with as many various types of people.
Love: Venus in Sagittarius is a fantastic time to be single, with lots of flirtation, flings, and dates. The freewheeling nature of Sagittarius is perfect for low-maintenance relationships, and you may discover a weird new ability to move on swiftly. Because everyone has gotten the Sagittarius virus, you might even see a rise in the sliding-into-the-DMs data set. Tell them to take a number if you want.
Career and finances: As Sagittarius encourages you to splurge on last-minute excursions and overindulgences with pals, your wallet may take a hit this season. When it comes to group outings and new experiences, the sky’s the limit in terms of expenditure, and the need for something new takes precedence over the tried and proven. Finances, rest in peace.
What should you not do when Venus is in retrograde?
Mercury retrogrades have become very popular astrology fodder on social media and elsewhere, so you’ve probably heard of them. Instead of disappointments, crossed wires (literally and figuratively), and false starts in communications (Mercury’s domain), challenges develop in Venus-ruled parts of our lives during Venus retrograde.
Love, relationships, beauty, aesthetics, the arts, and money are all connected with Venus.
Venus appears to stop (what astrologers call “stationing”) and then begin travelling backwards (what we term “retrograde”) every eighteen months. Over the course of forty days, the planet retraces around 15 to 18 degrees of its route.
During this time, you will likely notice:
- There have been more breakups than usual (both private and public). Relationships that have been on the rocks for a long time frequently end in divorce.
- Feeling a little “blah” or dejected, especially if Venus is dominant in your chart. (Take note, Libra or Taurus ascendants!)
Here’s what NOT to do starting now:
- Don’t get married or make plans for a wedding. Venus regulates love and relationships, and no marriage will get off to a good start if Venus is trapped in the past and traveling backwards. (I’m referring to Jennifer Aniston’s marriage to Justin Theroux… NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO It’s not a good idea. Make a date change! If you only had an astrology companion. Just letting you know that I’m accessible!)
- Starting a new relationship is not a good idea. Starting a new relationship during a Venus retrograde normally doesn’t work out, so if you’re thinking about signing up for eHarmony, wait until Venus is moving properly. Be wary of any beau/belle who shows up during this time, since he/she will most likely not be as you expected.
- Don’t go out of your way to look your best outside of your regular routine. Have you ever wished to colour your hair red? Do you want to get a tattoo? Have you had any cosmetic surgery? Now is not the time to do it. Keep your normal hairdo and present outfit in place. Any major shopping expeditions or makeovers will be a waste of time. If you take risks during Venus’ retrograde, you’ll wake up with maroon (not red) hair, a Chinese tattoo on your neck that says goat milk instead of global peace, and a “killer” new wardrobe consisting of grey and beige garments that are two sizes too big when the planet returns to direct. Do you remember the commercial about drunk driving when the bottles keep piling up on top of the car, blurring the road ahead? A Venus retrograde has this impact. Its direct movement is depressing. And just because you’re aware of it now doesn’t mean you’re immune to the effects of Venus retrograde. I can confirm that with my maroon hair and saggy beige-clothes photo. The same can be said about your home. Do not attempt to redecorate at this time, I repeat, do not attempt to renovate at this time!
- Don’t start any new business ventures. Venus is also in charge of your money affairs. When Mercury is retrograde, your perceptions are skewed, and you may make poor financial judgments based on emotions. During this phase, investments are frequently overvalued or inflate, and when Venus passes direct, they lose their value. A Venus retrograde is also known for causing worldwide economic anxiety, which can exacerbate the situation. (Isn’t it ironic that Canada legalized marijuana during a Venus retrograde? And, virtually quickly, what happened to its market value?)
- Avoid making large purchases, such as a car, boat, artwork, furniture, a home, or a company. You’ll go overboard, and your buy will backfire. It will either become a money hole, a huge headache, or you will grow to regret your decision. Your ability to appraise something’s worth or price deteriorates dramatically.
If you break these guidelines, believe me when I tell you’ll wind up slapping your head and asking yourself, “What was I thinking?”
Here’s how to USE the retrograde period:
- Examine your connections. How’s it doing so far? What could they do better? Under the influence of Venus retrograde, bad relationships might suffer even more, while good ones can become irritable. Until Venus goes direct, avoid making any hasty decisions.
- Examine your assets, investments, and financials. Rethink your future goals, but don’t take any action. Do not, I repeat, do not, do not, do not, do not, do not,
- A garage sale is a great way to get rid of unwanted items. Unload the products you’ve never used (perhaps because you bought them during a Venus retrograde) and marvel as they’re devoured.
- Do you want to change the way you look or the way your house looks? Do your homework. Examine new hairstyle possibilities. Make a “wish list” of decorating ideas. Wait till the Venus retrograde is over before acting on your ideas again. After Venus moves direct, check what truly sticks; it’ll be an excellent exercise to see how much/if your values have changed.
Make any permanent (or long-lasting) changes to your appearance.
Permanent changes of any kind aren’t usually a good idea during retrogrades, as these transits are more focused on past reflection than forward motion. But, because Venus oversees beauty, this transit is a good time to avoid dramatic aesthetic adjustments, according to astrologer Crystal B. If at all possible, avoid cosmetic treatments, tattoos, and even major hair changes.
What is Venus in Sagittarius attracted to?
Venus is in the sign of Sagittarius. People who are carefree and friendly attract love. This individual may appear appealing to a possible romantic partner, but he or she has a habit of being overly forthright.
What happens when Venus enters Sagittarius?
The transit of Venus through the Centaur sign will bring a cheerful and expansive attitude to both relationship and financial matters: many of us will be inspired to embark on adventures, be more out and about, try new things, and meet new people as a result of Venus’s transit.
Venus’s entry into Sagittarius invites us to accept life’s diversity and discover all it has to offer. We may encounter a tension between our want to explore and experience life and our longing for love and connection during this transit. It is recommended that our growing desire for independence not be used as an excuse to escape commitments and duties.
We discover that freedom is not incompatible with commitment, but rather is improved by the personal growth and maturation that comes as a result of commitment, through a deliberate expression of this energy. The transit of Venus through Sagittarius is an encouragement to regard relationships as a tool for expanding our consciousness, self-awareness, and philosophical understanding of reality.
