Stationary is the optical illusion of the planet not moving as it changes from Direct to Retrograde, and vise versa.

Here's some info on Venus R:::

"Venus
Emotions are kept under control when Venus is retrograde. The person is ‘poker-faced’, inscrutable, and capable of hiding their feelings those around them. Venus, as a planet, indicates an appreciation of beauty or art. So a retrograde Venus would result in an inability to value the finer things in life.
Most of all Venus denotes love.
When retrograde, there are indications of problems in relationships in this life resulting from deep hurts or misunderstandings in a previous life. There is a tremendous and overwhelming reluctance to enter into relationships due to the fear of being hurt again. Similarly, there is the distinct feeling that the person is living in the past and cannot come to terms with living without a lost love in this life. The pain may be too much for the person to contemplate getting into the same kind of relationship and so they seek something different, such as a homosexual liaison."

AND

"Venus Retrograde -
has unique ideas regarding pleasure, beauty & love, & less concern for the social amenities. They tend to put those they love to the acid test: "If I do x & y, will you still love me?" Can lead to some form of antisocial behavior. They may seek unconventional women."
