Venus in retrograde would simply mean you would have more venus qaulities than direct venus individuals. It has nothing to do with debilitation in terms of retrograde itself.The negative symptoms of retrograde planets can be best simplified as "Sometimes, more is/becomes less"
Because exerting more venus qualities than others sometimes drive people to be more vulnerable and therefore ultimayely becoming more defensive/withdrawn of their venus qualities.
So in short, I would assume that the goal for venus retrograde individuals is to.. find the balance in the area of their venus qualities. And for 8th house, I think joint finances is the most significant theme here.
Overcome the fear that you have of your aries venus qualities
