From December 19, 2021, to January 29, 2022, Venus was in retrograde, which made communication more difficult. It may sound familiar. It was a double whammy because Mercury retrograde 2022 was still in the middle of its first cycle.

In 2022, when did Venus go direct?
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.
Is Venus currently in retrograde in 2022?
And because of what the planet of love and relationships has been doing over the past few months, 2022 is seen as a Venus year. Specifically, the year 2022 began with Venus retrograde in Capricorn (a practical and goal-oriented Earth sign).
How often does Venus go backwards?
Venus spends the least amount of time in retrograde motion, despite Mars having the fewest retrogrades of any planet. Every eighteen months, Venus makes a retrograde station, travelling backward over the sky for forty-two days while retracing fifteen to eighteen zodiacal degrees.
Love and money-related difficulties may appear to be stagnant, dry up, or run cold when Venus is in retrograde.
Being in relationships that appear impenetrable during Venus retrograde is not at all unusual. Old lovers occasionally resurface for healing and closure, similar to Mercury and Mars retrograde. On the plus side, the stress we feel during these periods might give us perspective.

What is astrologically predicted to occur in 2022?
Jennifer Freed, a psychological astrologer, predicts that 2022 will present a chance for review, repair, and speedy expansion. Jupiter, the planet linked to abundance, will be in conjunction with Neptune, the planet linked to compassion. We’ll have to be careful how we employ those planets’ energies, adds Freed.
Venus hasn’t been in Capricorn retrograde since when?
Old lovers and pals may resurface, possibly upsetting existing relationships. During this Venus retrograde cycle, we are required to resolve old romantic problems. Things happen that appear predetermined or fated. Getting close to a partner during this time can be quite difficult. Relationships that are unconventional, exploratory, and non-intimate could be preferred.
It’s challenging to convey affection in a genuine or spontaneous way. Others’ expressions of social graces may not be sincere or genuine in our eyes. (We might be tempted to follow suit!)
Materialism and being chilly when expressing affections are two of the more difficult connections of Venus in Capricorn that may be very evident and/or difficult to handle. During this period, people with strong Capricorn influences in their charts may appear more reclusive, aloof, or difficult to get a hold of. They might not be seen as favorably right now, they might be rethinking things, or people might misinterpret their motives.
During this period, relationships that have been particularly difficult can end. Even if there are some hiccups and bruises along the way, solid relationships will endure it. Possibly now is a good moment for “eyes wide open or exploratory dating, yet judgments and opinions could shift in the future. No one seems to understand the desire for another person to “finish them. Some individuals can wonder if they are actually fulfilled by their partners.
However, we might be particularly aware of our deeper, less visible, and less surface-level needs and desires. This makes it an excellent time to reassess our needs in terms of relationships; however, important choices in this area should be postponed until after the cycle finishes on January 29th, and even better, until after the shadow phase (after March 1st, 2022). We could have distorted perceptions, and if we behaved hurriedly during the retrograde cycle, we might regret it later on since we have a propensity to change our opinions.
Venus Retrograde and Money & Finances
Try to delay making significant purchases or financial decisions related to money, finances, and possessions during this Venus retrograde cycle. A new house, car, or other expensive purchase, for instance, can turn out to be a mistake later on. They can cost you money, give you issues, or you might later change your mind and regret buying them. However, if you’re really strong at spotting good deals, this might be a terrific time to find unique stuff for a bargain because, during a retrograde Venus phase, people can be more eager to let rid of things they might not normally be prepared to part with.
Best Practices While Venus is Retrograde
Even if Venus is retrograde, it is always advisable to use extra caution during this cycle. We don’t have the best love sensors at this time, thus it’s not the best time to start a new relationship. However, it’s not unheard of for a relationship to start while Venus is retrograde and for it to endure and/or flourish.
Venus governs our values, and while Venus is retrograde, we appear to be out of touch with precisely what and who we value, or perhaps we perceive things too clearly. We might reflect back once the retrograde cycle is over and wonder what we were thinking. Therefore, try to avoid making important decisions while Venus is retrograde, but pay attention to your evaluations to see if they hold true. Later on, you can have a change of heart.
And the people we encounter today can come out as more amazing than they really are. Additionally, some of the people we encounter right now can come out as less appealing than they actually are. In any event, try to wait until March 2022 before making any significant decisions, especially ones that could change your life.
It’s interesting to note that during this cycle, we might not be as outwardly or overtly amorous. Currently, it’s challenging to put our trust in other people, and perhaps even more so, it’s challenging to believe our own judgments about other people or our personal connections. We often assume that people are lying. People could seem more reclusive, self-protective, and selfish. Direct progress in our love relationships is currently difficult to make. It might not be a good idea to try to organize a reunion or try to mend a relationship right now.
I’ve seen that breakups that do take place in the second half of a Venus retrograde cycle are incomplete. They don’t always include clean breaks. Friends and couples may eventually get back together, or if they stay apart, they could frequently question whether what they did was the correct thing to do.
Venus retrograde is a time to clean house, cope with the past, and move forward with renewed vigor. The first three weeks of the cycle are particularly a good time to do this. Watch out for impulsiveness in the second half of the retrograde cycle.
Then, while Venus goes retrograde, there is a sense of impending doom. Our memories of the past, especially previous relationships, can overwhelm our minds right now. Sometimes a former partner resurfaces in the flesh.
