Hey there, Mustang! Great topic. I want to make sure I have it right...
your natal chart is in the center and your Venus return chart is on the outside, right?
Also, can you post the degrees of each planet? I think you'll get more feedback that way. I can't really tell what the conjunctions are w/o the degrees posted.
Here is what I found from CafeAstro...
Key Things to Look For in the Venus Return Chart:
~The position of Venus in the Return chart, by house and aspect. (The Venus sign will be the birth sign of Venus).
~Strong configurations (aspects) in the chart, especially when Venus is involved.
~Natal planets and points that conjunct Venus Return angles.
Of course, you can go into as much detail as you want when you are studying a VR chart. The factors above point to the more remarkable aspects in a reading.
An especially busy "Venus year" will be marked in the chart in a variety of ways. Venus might be on the Midheaven or Ascendant. Venus might be tightly conjunct the Sun and possibly another planet as well. The Return chart Vertex might be closely tied to the Nodes of the Moon (conjunct, opposite, or square) in a year when the native makes important social contacts.
Note: In my research, the Moon's Nodes and the Vertex should not be overlooked when studying the Venus Return chart. These points are often activated and prominent in a year when the native meets a significant other (lover, marriage partner, or friend).
An exceptionally sociable year is often indicated by Venus conjunct the Midheaven in the Venus Return chart. New opportunities to socialize, as well as a fresh new social image, are indicated. A planet in tight conjunction with the Ascendant in a Venus Return chart can suggest a meaningful year as well. For example, Pluto rising in the VR chart often points to a new romance that is life-changing.
