I've also just been going to work, going to the gym, and avoiding people. I hate to say it, but it's actually been good for me. I'm focusing on my career and I'm actually thinking about moving to a different city where some of my other friends live. As a result, I am doing some major job hunting/applying right now. Maybe it will start to pan out for me once Venus goes direct again. Unfortunately finances have been biting me in the butt, but I think after this retrograde I'm going to have a lot of my debts cleared away (just paid off a massive one). Plus, I've cut some extraneous expenses out of my budget. Hopefully that'll help free me up to move. So yeah... Not bad, but definitely NOT focused on dating/relationships like I have been in the past, and the Venus retrograde is happening in my 7th house. Go figure.
I agree, I have been more focused on my health, personal appearance and career looking for a different job. For me its a emotionally frustrating because usually I have the ability to be more in control of my emotions and the expression of them around other people. IP: Logged |

I took a mini vacation, a car trip to go visit old friends I haven't seen in forever. VenusRx is transiting my 11th house, so it was a great way to express it-- going BACK (Rx) to connect with old FRIENDS (11th h). I felt SO refreshed after the trip!! Like I was in line with the universe!  I've been randomly contacted by ex-lovers. If I didn't know about astrology, I'd be really surprised. I think it's about getting better closure, healing old wounds. It hurts little, but I'm thankful for the opportunity to heal. I'm itching to start something new with someone, but I'm spending a lot of time reflecting on it before I just jump in. I don't have time to waste on what might end up being a stupid decision. Also, this is a good friend, and I don't want to risk losing the friendship if things don't work out romantically... I'll wait until Venus is direct before deciding for sure. <sighs impatiently> ------------------ I can help you figure out your dreams, and guide you in how to use them to transform your life. www.sleepingrealities.com Follow me on Facebook! facebook.com/sleepingrealities Follow my blog! http://sleepingrealities.blogspot.com IP: Logged |

The retrograde combined with the solar eclipse (may 2012) affecting me has taken my love life down, me and my partner broke up but with the retrograde I still believe in love and 'the one' (or in terms of natal promise for me 'the four' haha) They say the eclipse takes something away from your life in order to re-shelve something new, Jupiter exactly conjuncts my sun sometime in July, the horary chart I cast looks good and I have a feeling of hope (my feelings usually come to be accurate in terms of what's going to happen)so not bad news for me! I think the retrograde was overshadowed by the eclipse but it still takes effect, it was retrograding in the seventh house and now it's in my eighth house, death of a partnership I'd say We live in hope!

When it first went retrograde things went down hill, me and my boyfriend broke up. But yesterday was my graduation and my Jupiter return, I'm feeling more positive and had a job interview today at a really sought after job, I out of 500 applicants got an interview! Fingers crossed I get it!

I completely cut a guy off March 28th. I apologized for my hand in the argument April 1st. That's how we functioned. We'd always start right back up. Well on April 1st I decided to stop wasting time on this. Let him go on about his life. Let myself go on about mine.I wished him luck in life and made it clear I wouldn't bother him anymore. I decided to start focusing on my career. Also he had some really harsh things; things he never said before. I guess that really shut me off to him. The argument was about him being rude, taking me for granted aka acting like a jerk. Anyway, he replied on the 3rd/ 4th morning to apologize. Unlike me, he simply wished me luck on my tests and told me he hated fighting with me esp when it got so bad. I read the message but didn't think to reply to it. It was clear enough. What else was left for me to say? However on the 4th noon he IMs me, asking if I received his message. So, he did in fact expect me to reply. I waited a few days. At first I thought, I wouldn't reply and then he would figure it out: that we would no longer be speaking. But then comes my empathy/symapthy, whatever you call it. So I felt bad and decided to at least reply. Yes, even though, he had been neglecting me and ignoring my IMs, I felt like if he needed me to reply, I would. I said, Yeah I got it, thanks. That was April 7th. That was it. We haven't been in contact since then. We have ignored each other since then. I have thought about him every single day though, but I have put my career>romance etc. I felt so burned and exhausted, I didn't want to message him even though I wanted to talk to him. My venus is in my 10th house. His venus is retrograde natally in his first. I feel strong for being able to prioritize. In the back of my mind I kinda do hope he changes, realizes his mistake and approaches me. lol I rerun old hollywood scenes in my head hoping he would do something like that. lol Doubt it! lol... Yup so on the one hand I guess something that wasn't working was finally released for me to focus on family and my career. I'm not that upset. Again I feel wiser, confident and stronger. IP: Logged |

Extremely tumultuous. Constant tension with my boyfriend and I started a new job that I feel ambiguous about and may not be a good source of income. Nothing feels stable anymore.IP: Logged |

Happy new job, Aquacheeka! Just scored an interview myself, wait for it...that is TWO HOURS IN LENGTH. You have to give some a job after grilling them for that f'n long. Things are going well in my relationship but the biggest lesson of this retrograde is learning to manage my anxiety. As a Pisces Sun and someone with a South Node in Scorpio in the 12th House, the fact that my emotions are my responsibility to manage keeps hitting me in the face. I can't just 'let go' and give it up to God. I've got to communicate and work out practical solutions, especially when it comes to communication. IP: Logged |

okay anyway, we when it went rx he had to head back to where he's been stationed. So it is back to being a long distance flirtation. I'm gonna visit him soon tough.But we started talking a lot in February that's when Saturn went rx. I like when Saturn is rx, it's like Saturn stops being stern. So I am wondering what will happen when it goes direct right over my Sun. (22 deg Aries) Yeah for Aries it's the house for other people, and with my ASC it's my 11th house. I did meet him through my friends. IP: Logged |

I've been feeling terribly low and lonely. The logical part of me wants to jump into a relationship for a mood upliftment but my heart is absolutely uninterested. There's only one guy I want to be with but he lives seas apart. We're meeting this August after 4 long years. I'm the type who thrives on crushes. High dopamine content keeps me smiling. Whereas this time, it's hurting bad. I cry for no reason at all and spend the whole day in bed, listening to cheesy love songs and day dreaming. My escapism tendency has doubled. When it comes to my social life, well, it's dead and gone. Very strangely, I've started listening to devotional music and even considered renunciation. My 9h in Libra explains these weird thoughts. On a negative note, I've begun to hate university and I don't know why. Not that I plan on dropping out or something. Just that I've been dragging myself. My 4 h is in Taurus and Venus is in Sag in the 10th. There was a time when I wouldn't show my face at home for days together and now, I'm all homesick, craving closeness and more than slightly regretting my choice to move abroad. I even made important life decisions like returning home for further studies, avoiding career opportunities that involve a lot of physical travel... Venus made me realize the importance of relationships. IP: Logged |
