As far as I know, it felt like smooth sailing to me. Didn't really affect me that much because I have no planets in Pisces and my only planet in Aries was Saturn in the later degrees of my 11th house. It didn't make an opposition to my early Virgo planets either. Nothing significant for me at the time.

For my boyfriend, however, he went away on a four-day trip to Ottawa to see his old friend. I was fine with it, not too worried. Gave him the trust he needed. It was the middle of the retrograde, too. One of those nights, he partied and then came home to send me a message. I was asleep, so I woke up to a long paragraph message unexpectedly. He wrote saying that he thought about being single again but then how he realized being with me was better. He said going to the club and seeing all these girls wasn't so fun as having me with him there. We always went clubbing together, if not just us, with friends. That was his first time out there alone since we started. He also wrote about how he realized he's been kind of taking me for granted and that how he wanted to make it up to me like when we first started, etc. He came home after, telling me about how this girl wanted him to "take photos of her" at her dorm room (he's a photographer). But then he said to the girl he wasn't interested and just left with his friends.

He has Venus in Gemini at 22, Mars in Cancer at 2, and Saturn in Aries at 7 degrees. It did affect him more than me, especially since he had Venus and Mars rising.

I really think Venus has to make aspects to your personal planets for you to even feel it.

This upcoming retrograde is gonna be sitting right on my Mars at the end of it, trining my Jupiter and ASC, squaring my Sun, making sextiles and trines to my Moon, Mercury, and Venus. It will involve my 5th house, so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have one hell of a retrograde this year.

It will affect my partner too. I think he will have trines to his Venus, ASC, and Mars, and then sextiles to his Moon and Jupiter and Mercury, square his Sun--all in the 5th house too.

Besides this break-up, I've seen no other evidence so far that Venus Retrograde causes any upsets in my relationships. I'm not necessarily immune to this one.

Venus Retrograde could point to some issues this time. Uranus is square my boyfriend's Venus in Leo right now and Venus Retrograde will join as another square to his Venus in October. Uranus and Venus Retrograde are going to be in an opposition so both these placements hitting my boyfriend's Venus probably isn't a good thing.

Venus Retrograde is going to oppose my natal Venus and Saturn will be trine my natal Venus.

This one is retrograding on my Venus at 9 Scorpio so it's like a double Venus return?

I've had serious money issues the past month or so but it seems like it's finally turning around. Last night we had a little talk about it, and I just felt so lucky to have him. He's so understanding and awesome about it.

Last time it was rx was March 2017 and I made the decision to move across the country with him! (Just read my journal from that time) And I was really depressed but that always happens in March.

In 2015 I did break up with my ex during a Venus retro actually, it was in my 12th and while I was separated from him while visiting home, I realized how toxic he was and that I didn't want to go back to him!

Then I met my partner in September 2015, actually that was when Pluto went direct! And is now our anniversary.

Then there were no Venus RX in 2016.

I notice that the venus retrograde has really surfaced all those little annoyances or grievances that are minute enough that we sort of just swallow them and move on.

it's actually a really beautiful and productive thing. my husband and I have had really open and wonderful communication and I totally feel us moving to an even deeper level of intimacy.

whereas venus transits seem to affect me internally more

i assume it's my moon conjunct descendant and venus conjunct ascendant that does that though

Yes, I am taking a log of everything. So far, since it's still in Scorpio, nothing super significant yet in regards to my relationships.

But I have been out shopping and pampering myself a bit more, taking care of myself. It's easy to let go of yourself when you're so busy working. I have also been getting back into doing art. I like that Venus rx does this.

My boyfriend did buy me a new chain for my favorite rose pearl necklace that I broke a few months ago. And he got me a better one for a really good deal. He's also been trying to make me feel loved again, working on and re-evaluating how he treats me. Not that I complained a lot, just gave him a couple of constructive criticism for the past few months that he ignored. I was left feeling that all he does is talk and no action before. But now, he is trying to do better. He has also been taking me out on dates more often, spending more time doing spontaneous activities with me, and kept re-telling our story to his friends. Venus rx is currently trine his Mars in Cancer.

Everything has been great for 2 years and literally in the last week we've argued non-stop almost 24/7.
And made up... and argued again.

It's so strange. I can't even explain what's happening. I just want it to stop. He wants it to stop too.
We've both tried to make amends and see the other person's perspective... but as soon as we get talking again, we just end up arguing again.

I can't wait for this retrograde to be over.

I dumped someone during Venus Retrograde before. There were other things that pointed to the break-up too, but Venus Retrograde was in an extremely tight conjunction to my natal Uranus when I dumped my ex in 2014.

I really hope it doesn't come to this. And I can't imagine us actually breaking up, but ..... it's exhausting to argue 24/7 for a week

I receive a reply, with a tune to a letter from the government, wishing me all the best!

So I'm like wtf is that all about!? I tell him that's not the reply I expected and I ask him if I have upset him in anyway?

He hasn't replied. He is a gay friend of mine who lives around the corner from me.

Its actually left me feeling a bit shocked and hurt.

I also got made an incredible job offer last Thursday, an offer so great, that I can return to studies to change my career, and they will help work around my schedule. He told me he will send me the contract, but I haven't received anything, so now Im bit worried he will subtract the offer!

There is a clear imbalance of power with pets though, they stay home unless you take them out, they completely depend on you emotionally and for survival, they are also a lot easier to make happy. Do to all these reasons they are more loyal and consistent. A pet is like a baby who never grows up.

“How are we going to save for a house?!”
Because I bought a candle at the grocery store.

“How are we going to save for a house?!”
When I bought shoes for my new job. I bought 3 shoes, that were in total under 100 bucks.

I bought a purse that was under 50 bucks.
“How are we going to save for a house?!”
I had the same purse since 2015, and was pretty beat up. It was time for a new one.

Over the summer I had to tap into my savings for college. It was the best way for me to get out of my last job. But now I have financial aide. He is worried I am going to **** away my savings when I’m off of work in the summer. So I have to constantly allieviate his anxiety when I spend my money on something other than food and bills.
Plus I will be making money in the summer watching my niece and nephews.
