The planet Venus rules over:
• Beauty, love and romance
• Harmony and Compassion
• Flirting
• Social life
• Our hobbies/interests
• How we spend our money
In astrology circles, Mercury going retrograde is quite common as it undergoes this transition for about three times every year, but Venus in retrograde is a very rare affair that occurs once in every 18 months or about once in one and a half year’s time. However unlike the Mercury retrograde period, Venus would stay retrograde for around 6 weeks time. Venus going retrograde affects our emotions, love, relationships and money for quite a long time, I guess..
