Venus, who booksends the year in the sign of Capricorn with Mercury, establishes a somber tone for love in 2022. Are you tired of being a fool? Do you yearn for a committed partner? Are you sick of the same old argument? That’s excellent, but how about some reflection first? As 2022 begins a cycle that starts on December 19, 2021, and lasts through January 29, 2022, Venus is retrograde. Venus, revolving in reverse, supports the mirror. You draw to you what you project outside. Your interpersonal interactions are a reflection of your inner self. If you want to change the situation, start with yourself and not with others.
That doesn’t mean you have to do all the work, though! Another negative manifestation of Venus retrograde in Capricorn is overfunctioning. Other people tend to withdraw and get more lazier as a result of such exhausting conduct! It may be necessary for the “givers” of the world to exercise restraint and quit supporting their dysfunctional partners.

Do you feel like you’re always alone and not really enjoying it? Improve your standards. Each of us possesses a lusty animal that yearns for passion that would rend a bodice in two. Nothing incorrect about that! However, if pursuing “your kind” has so far resulted in more heartache than heat, try something new. The 2022 menu should include more sustainable “Capricorn” traits like dependability and financial security.
Few people have the ability to remain ecstatic at all times. And individuals who claim to have this superpower generally lead lifestyles that are out of balance. Crash! Try this instead of succumbing to romantic addiction: Early in 2022, dedicate yourself to a passion project. Use the same passion you had for a Tinder thirst trap to create art, raise money for a local charity, or assist your sister in organizing her 40th birthday celebration. When you keep yourself entertained and content, the thought of returning home to a devoted partner may start to seem quite alluring.
Have there ever been “ones that got away”? You might have another opportunity with someone who drifted away from you or run into someone who embodies the sexiest (and iciest) qualities of your ex. When Venus is retrograde, you may act quite out of character. You might even put into action a secret fantasy that would have been better off being left to the imagination. Keep your limits as defined as possible since “getting there” while Venus is retrograde can have a disastrous effect on relationships.
P.S.: Venus was last retrograde from June 13 to July 25, 2020, in Gemini. Couples were either forced to spend 24/7 together as a new sort of exposure therapy or were torn apart by the epidemic (thus the name “isolationship”). It became physically dangerous to date. The most terrifying case of spring fever was present. Venus, however, delivered hidden benefits during its whole transit through Gemini (from April 3 to August 7, 2020). This sapiosexual cycle valued intellectual stimulation and stimulating conversationbasically, it was 2020’s version of flirting. Mobile devices and written communication are likewise ruled by Gemini. It certainly helped to have Venus logged in to this virtual space throughout the months when texting and videosexting were the most secure means of erotic gratification.
Venus retrograde in Gemini forced contentious conversations between partners. The breaking point of many broken relationships allowed the singles to move on to form more satisfying alliances. Other couples developed a positive new communication style.
How might Venus’ retrograde be avoided?
Mercury retrogrades are certainly familiar to you by now, as they are frequently discussed in astrology on social media and elsewhere. The similar idea applies to Venus retrograde, except instead of disappointments, crossed wires, and false starts in communication (Mercury’s domain), the challenges occur in Venus-ruled parts of our lives.
Venus is related to romance, ties, attractiveness, the arts, and wealth.
Venus appears to pause every 18 months (what astrologers refer to as “stationing”) before beginning to move backwards (what we call “retrograde). Over the course of around 40 days, the planet retraces its route by 15 to 18 degrees.
During this time, you will likely notice:
- more divorces than normal (both private and public). Long-term relationships that have been in trouble frequently end in a breakup.
- feeling a little “blah” or depressed, especially if Venus is strongly influencing your horoscope. (Notice to Libra or Taurus Ascendants!)
- Making an appearance are previous lovers, old pals, and distant relatives.
Here’s what NOT to do starting now:
- Don’t arrange a wedding or get married. Venus is the planet of love and relationships, and while Venus is moving backward and locked in the past, no marriage will begin well. (I’m addressing you Jennifer Aniston from the time you wed Justin Theroux. I yelled, “NOOOOO!” Not at all. Modify the date! If only you had a partner in astrology. I’m available, just to be clear!)
- Avoid beginning a new relationship. If you’re considering joining eHarmony, wait until Venus is traveling normally before doing so because beginning a new relationship during a Venus retrograde typically also ends in failure. Any beau/belle who shows up around this time should be avoided because they probably aren’t who they seem to be.
- Keep your beauty routine as consistent as possible. Have you ever considered getting red hair? being inked? undergoing cosmetic surgery? Not right now. Keep your present clothes and usual hairstyles. Any significant purchasing or remodeling endeavors will end in disappointment. If you do take risks during Venus retrograde, when the planet turns direct again, you’ll wake up, wipe your eyes, and discover that your hair is now maroon rather than red, that you now have a Chinese tattoo on your neck that says goat milk rather than world peace, and that your “killer new wardrobe” is made up of two sizes too large pieces of beige and grey clothing. You remember the commercial about drunk driving where the car keeps piling up bottles, blurring the road in front of the automobile? The result of a Venus retrograde is that. It moves directly, which is sobering. You are still susceptible to the scheming of Venus retrograde even if you are now aware of it. I can show that with the photograph with my maroon hair and my loose beige outfit fest. Your home is the same way. I’ll say it again: Don’t try to renovate right now!
- Avoid starting new investments. Venus is in charge of managing your money as well. Your senses are distorted while the planets are retrograde, and this emotional state might lead you to make very bad financial decisions. During this time, investments frequently overvalue or inflated, and when Venus turns straight, they lose value. Uncertainty in the world economy during a Venus retrograde period is another well-known phenomenon that can make things worse. (Isn’t it ironic that the legalization of cannabis in Canada occurred during Venus retrograde? What occurred to its market value practically instantly?
- Avoid making large purchases, particularly those for a car, boat, piece of art, furniture, home, or company. You’ll overspend, and your acquisition will turn out to be a mistake. You’ll either end up with a huge hassle or a money hole, or you’ll deeply regret your purchase. Your capacity to evaluate something’s worth or price considerably deteriorates.
When I tell that breaking these guidelines will result in you constantly hitting your head and exclaiming, “What was I thinking?,” believe me.
Here’s how to USE the retrograde period:
- Examine your connections. What’s happening? What could they do better? Venus retrograde can make already bad relationships even worse while even making good ones a little irritable. Try to wait until Venus turns direct before making any snap decisions.
- Examine your finances, assets, and investments. Reevaluate your future goals, but don’t take any action. Do not, I say. Do not.
- Organize a garage sale! You probably haven’t used the products you unload because you purchased them during a Venus retrograde, so be shocked when someone eats them up.
- Do you want to modify the way your home or you look? study the subject. Examine new hairstyle possibilities. Make a “dream board” with design concepts. But if you want to reconsider acting on ideas, wait until the Venus retrograde is over. It will be a nice exercise to determine how much or if your values have changed to see what genuinely sticks once Venus turns direct.
