All I want is the latin word for equality/justice on the left wrist and the greek word for knowledge on the right.

Nothing complicated, right?

Seeing as its Venus Rx, I'm a bit hesitant but I don't want to wait until freakin December when the shadow period is over.

I would do it before it goes retro........or wait until after.

I wonder if it's ok to get things done if you planned it before a rx. I hear them say that with merc rx, but I don't know anyone who has personally done that.

I don't think that they are necessarily bad.

I believe that as long as they are making an easy aspect to your chart, that can energy can be a positive thing.

For example, I don't see why I have to expect romance,love to be bad for me in late October,early Novemeber with transiting retrograde Venus conjuncting my Sun and trining my Moon.

Of course, if the retrograde planets are making a hard aspect to your chart, it can be a negative thing.

Whether negative or positive, it really depends on what you do.

I think the best way to use retrograde planets is to think carefully before acting.

I had surgery in 2001 while mars was rx. I didn't follow astrology back then. Mars rules surgeons and surgery! It turned out fine.

Mars was right on my venus, in the 8th. Not only that, the moon was in the sign that rules the part being operated and in fall, and t. venus opposed my mars, and pretty much every other planet was in bad aspect to my planets. I think that for surgery, it can just indicate action of some sort. Hard aspects indicate a major event, so of course they'd be present when you alter your body in surgery.

I am doing whatever I want, rx or not, unless I get a gut feeling about it otherwise. Screw it. There's never a good time, astrologically. You should look for good aspects to whatever planet rules that part you are working on. But I don't even know if I'd go that far, really. I once had my hair done with venus on my AC and it was meh. I actually wasn't happy with it, because it didn't turn out at all like I wanted. I think it was the stylists fault, actually. With venus on AC, it should've, theoretically, been amazing, but it wasn't.

what happened when you got your hair done? Was it a new stylist or new cut/color

I decided to get bangs for the second time in my life at that time (and dye it the color I wanted). The bangs did not come out at all like I expected and the color was not what I expected either (in a very bad way). The color was fixed about a week later, but I ended up pulling back my bangs for weeks afterwards because of how badly they framed my face. They were literally so bad that people thought I was much older than I actually was.

I cut my own hair,now. It looks pretty good

I cut my own hair, which I never do -- it was the only time, back during the last venus rx. I knew I shouldn't do it, bc I knew it was venus rx and I was cutting my own hair! I guess rebellion won out though.

That's interesting, because they say you shouldn't go to someone new, but can go to the same stylists

Diana, our thoughts are the same..what if you were planning it months before the Rx period and thought long and hard about it? I honestly dont want to wait till December cos I've been waiting all year!

My hair was frizzled and fried and I had to chop off lots of length for it to grow back healthy.

Oh, I'm already going through the "ugly phase" bit of Venus Rx where my nails snap off and its difficult getting another appt, regrowth come twice as quick, my favourite pair of jeans finally rip at the knee from wear and tear, hair just wont sit the way I want it, already getting a zit here or there...I HATE Venus Rx, esp cos I'm very Venus ruled (Taurus Venus, Libra moon...I cop the uglies hard during Venus Rx)
