Venus Retrograde has never been kind to me. Having a Libra moon and Taurus Venus, its always sucked beyond comprehension. Apart from my relationship with the mirror completely break down to the brink of divorce, everything else just sucks.The last one was particularly cruel so being a little prepared for this one, I decided to pay attention to this one as this.
The last time Venus Rx was in Scorpio was in 2002. Looking at the events from that Rx period, I was a bit worried about this one.
2002 Venus Rx Scorpio
- Was in my last year of high school
- was studying for my final ever school exams
- applied for the courses I wanted to do at university, all being psychology (8th house's domain)
- my boyfriend had his 18th bday and broke up with me cos I kissed his ex girlfriend (i was so blind drunk I barely remember a thing)
- I did my final high school exams
- I fell pregnant during my exams after me and my bf got back together in November
I was 17 at the time and about to embark on adulthood, much too prematurely.
Anyways, all that hoopla was years ago and in the past and therefore not so significant in my life now that I'm in my mid-20s. My conscious mind puts it down to youthful experience.
But for interest sake, I decided to make a list of all the things I witnessed and experienced the 2nd time round Venus retrogrades in my 8th (and 7th) house.
Typical 8th house stuff: sex/sexuality, death, taxes, joint finances, money you don't earn (inheritances and grants), partners resources, birth, death, transformation, healing, surgery, investigation, occult studies
Usually with Venus Rx its common knowledge that past loves are supposed to call around again, but I've had nothing of the sort happen. In fact, I've had a secret, 8th house relationship begin that encompasses all the 8th house issues that you can share with another human being.
Ok, so here's the things that I've experienced with Venus Rx in my Scorpio ruled 8th house:
- fell in love and realised it was a past life connection
- a staff member that was fired was rehired sooooo...
- my hours got cut, power struggles between me and my manager against the rehired staff and the day manager.
- Lost my entire set of keys (and got them back the other day, interestingly enough)
- Fines and expenses (particularly the car) everywhere
- Massive fight with mother over money owed (cos of fines)
- Had to fill out a tax form for the ATO (aus. taxation office..eep)
- my 15yr old sister's friend lost her virginity to her boyfriend and got pregnant
-an instance where my pay didn't go in due to the bank's f*ck up
- the club I work at hosted a fetish party (i'm not kidding)...tranny's, ppl dressed up as dogs, ppl on stage getting whipped until they were red raw and bleeding, piercing raw flesh, performances of girls getting tied up in uncomfortable positions by rope then suspended in the air, **** and arse hanging out everywhere...you name it, whatever freak show Scorpio rules..it was there that night.
- and an instance where I had to get the morning after pill :S
Just wondering what other ppl's experiences were..what house did Venus Rx happen in your chart and what happened in there.
