I have heard of so many people who planned to get married during shadow and venus retrograde and now can’t due to the pandemic and lockdown! I find it so interesting

Great thing Im not focused on dating a relationship or anything major in purchases. Whew....😳 Still wearing close from 5 years😂Im feeling great about my vision 😎 Thank you ✌🙏

Here I am at your video 1 year later & I appreciate YOU Annie even more!!! You have a unique way that is alot more detailed in describing transits! Im grateful to YOU & to the Universe for your beautiful energy crossing my path!!!
Ms. Botticelli, I loved all the illustrations you have used to explain the Venus retrograde. I really appreciate your honesty and directness in matters that can have lasting negative impacts if made unwisely. Wishing you the very best. Sincerely- M
Lol, it has actually grown much longer than it is now because I have cut it a lot over the last 6 years since I starting growing it out! One day I will talk about this in a book but you can see one piece in a video I made called Longer, Stronger Hair Cutting with the Moon Cycles - just search for something like that and my name on TH-cam and it should come up.
I love how you mentioned you are an Aries rising and how you "just do it anyway" and it's hard to tame. I am also an Aries rising, and I felt that lol!
Most of us aren’t going to like this period , but hopefully all of us will reflect on it later to see how significant it was for the future to come . Thanks Anne for the heads up and tips. What I like about your videos are that you are upfront and don’t sugar coat anything. Personally for me , I feel like I go in better prepared during difficult periods knowing things as they are rather than expecting rainbows and butterflies everywhere... thanks again
Great, Jessica :) and yes, I do like to prepare you if there is something challenging as a potential. I have seen over years of tracking this transit that issues/aka things we don't like, will come up to the degree that they still need resolution. If we have bee actively working on healing those things, then the cycle can bring amazing manifestation from previous work done. It can bring in many things hoped for in Venus' domain. I hope the transit has some nice surprises for you :)
I agree about everything looks beautiful. lol. With this current transit, I have finally let go off the past relationship baggage I had. Since my baggage has been eliminated I find myself extremely willing to take on a relationship even with people I previously would not consider.
Hi, Caren! The venus retro shadow period ends Oct.9th but mercury retro will have just gone direct Oct. 8th so the energies for retro dont completely clear until Oct. 24 th. the week of Oct.16 will be clear enough to start to implement some things. I wouldnt launch your new venture until the mid to end of October, after the 24th if you can help it.
Annie Botticelli ANNIE CAN I ASK A QUESTION ?? Why is it that on an ephemeris it says the moon is in sagittarius but when i look at the solar cycle it is in capricorn for today the 24th?
maybe it is the day that the moon transitions from Sadge to Cap? that is my guess. the ephemeris lists what degree the moon starts out at but it moves degrees throughout the day so in one day it could be in two signs :)
Annie Botticelli Annie please tell me what you think a cancer sun sag rising about working on buying a new business whose founder was accused a fraud. May be waiting to sign deal in December if possible. The business will dissolve soon because nobody wants to buy it. But I'm getting this hunch to attempt to acquire it. It's a big business with a lot of lawsuits pending. I used to out of blue see myself as the CEO of that company before it was even revealed that the CEO was a crook who put people lives at risk. They are is blood-testing technology. I've been in healthcare finance a long time and believe I can turn it around. Please tell me what you think! I'd love to get your take on it.
Care is definitely a tagline of the transit but also remember that much magic can pour in from this transit, too! and yes, with Venus making its transit through the signs that you have placements it is likely things will be more apparent from the transit. Yes, it can bring challenges if there is something unresolved that is seeking resolution but it can also bring in manifestations that you have been wanting for a long time.
Astrology could be so spot on sometimes to the point where you're just not fazed or creeped out by it anymore. I just splurged so much on clothing which I haven't done in a really long time - I don't even usually like shopping. Didn't know about Venus being Retrograde. My long distance partner just came back from where he works for the weekend. We met and now I'm reconsidering things because an issue that previously came up but was just brushed under the rug resurfaced. I had the hunch to just wait out making any decisions before I knew Venus was Retrograde.
I met the greatest man I have ever met while Venus was retrograde last month! We had the best time ever and we connected on an extreme level of ease and comfort! I trust this arcance science and even told him about it! He said he had the best time ever with anyone with me! I can't marry him ever? We have so much in common and enjoyed every moment we spent together! I was trying to be very careful with him during this time! He spent so much money on a resort last weekend and more! I hope we can be together forever! 😢
Hi :) how exciting! there are always caveats in ones personal chart that could supersede the general transits. If you managed to not 'solidify' your romantic connection, if you know what I mean ;) that leaves more room in the direct energies for the energies to gel for the long-term. But even if you did move into that part of your romantic connection, not all relationships that start during venus retro are doomed so keep the faith that this is the real deal but do try to wait until towards the end of May or June to actually get engaged, move in together, or making any other big decisions like that. I will hold the vision with you of perfect outcomes :)
And values ... that's why money because it's a concept of value. I sense this one is going to hit me and a lot of people in updating what we do and don't value and seeing the alignment or misalignment of that in our lives .
I met another sag at the beginning of this. He’s such a beautiful person. I’m really happy now not pushing anything in any direction and just being grateful for the time being.
What about venus retrograde in a progressed chart? I was born in a shadow period just before venus retrograde began, so most of my life Ive had venus retrograde in my progressed chart (n still another 11 years to go). Does this mean when venus goes retrograde it has less impact ? Or could be positive? This time round the venus retrograde transits my natal sun in leo n my natal mercury too.
so true. any time madee a purchase during Venus retro I've always ended up disappointed after the fact. I am having gum surgery on the tenth. I was scheduled a year ago to have it done bit had to cancel due to other obligations so I think it should be OK..... I hope. ....
Hi :) re. your surgery, is it cosmetic or medical? if it is medical, then you are clear. especially since march 10th is clear from the mercury retrograde energies which I don't like as much for surgeries unless they are absolutely necessary.
Annie Botticelli so awesome of you to take the time to share your insight. I think it will be OK because it is a rescheduled appointment that I had a few months back. thanks again for taking the time.
Hello, we're moving house in a couple of months. It's a shell of a house and I'm going to have to decorate the whole lot to live in, so I 'have' to invest in flooring and decorate. Would you recommend I invest in the most basically basic flooring that I can't bare, or just go with the mid range etc? Would you recommend curbing my enthusiasm in general for the remodeling of the house or are there ways I can investigate the best way to do it? Perhaps doing old ideas I fancied for my dream house rather than new designs? It's a potentially short term house but could be a loooong term. I had to accept the house in the retrograde season earlier this year too. If anyone reading this or the vlogger has any tips I would be very grateful xx
@@AnnieBotticelli hi, well this is the thing, we're experiencing delays (handy delays for me) because there is asbestos to be removed. This can take about 8 weeks, but we're not sure when the work has been started as it is a social housing property and they're not being transparent. My first calculation was the 26 th November, but two weeks after the calculation they saud they had not yet even got the keys to the property, so it can be up to three weeks later than the 26 th November potentially. ♥️ Thank you so much for responding, astrology can be so much fun, interesting and handy.
Thank you so much for the video! I'm a libra sun and I have been working on a project for a couple months. Would that be ok to launch? Thank you again.
Love your forecasts and insights :) Anyway, gave up anything with Venus, because the placement of Saturn in my NC shadows every area. ... But interesting to listen about Venus retrograde :)
in some ways, yes, but more just bringing a grounded awareness to interactions in the Venus' arenas. There are many things the transit is really good for doing.
2021 into 2022...For those of us that celebrate Christmas, Venus retrograde will be starting soon before, with the shadow period starting a little before Thanksgiving...can you imagine all the gift returns??? Yikes! My husband is a last minute shopper too. I'm going to try to purchase gifts early if I can, and for those I can't, try to be sure about the purchase. And receipts...saving all the receipts.
Hi, Uyanga ~ Finding work could be well-favored now, just keep in mind the term of the position may be shorter than expected and will favor types or work, contacts, etc. from the past over new companies or new line of work. A new position now is more likely to be a transition position but that doesn't have to be a bad thing! Try to get anything promised in writing as some things may be withheld. But overall, some great opportunities for work. best of luck!
Thank you so much you have been very helpful! !! Being a double Taurus, and moon in Virgo, takes a lot of contemplating and research to jump ship..sometimes a double edged sword lol surprised I'm not more impulsive with Mars, mercury and Venus in Aries, Jupiter in Leo and Neptune in Sag. Full of fire and Earth lol thank you for taking the time to do your videos and replying back! I usually never make comments or questions but glad I did this time. Love, light and blessings. .Namaste~
Hi Annie, I am from India and I need to know if you read horoscopes. If you do how does one get to know the process for the same including the cost? Pls advise 🙏🙏 Love and light to you.
Today is the 6th day of the retrograde, and my sister just went to pick up her brand new car, lol. Thankfully, she and her husband had made the purchase before the retrograde started this year (2017). Unfortunately, I have to start a new job assignment next week but I will hold off on making a final evaluation of its suitability until the retrograde is over. Great tips, thank you.
What that hell with venus retrgrade i hate this it make me craizy my energy i have to fix some thing for the pass that issue is in my head all day all night .
hello Annie! What about writing projects in this period or developing bussines plans? Or even applying for a Business degree? For me this period has been pretty great work wise ( I got some freelance projects) and some energy to start new things (in planning mostly) and I have to say that my Venus is in Capricorn, in my first ASC house (Sagittarius). I don't know if it is related or not, but by the end of the month, I received a collaboration opportunity, but it smelled sketchy. I didn't knew the woman. I initially agreed to a meeting to discuss more, but a few hours before, I changed my mind, and cancelled the meeting. I am still thinking if maybe I was overthinking about it or not, but hey, sometimes the gut know better than we do. Anyway, it has been a very full month (with good and bads), but very interesting as well. :)
Hi :). Venus retro is a great time to try things on, education, etc. but since Mercury is also retro now, if the business degree is longer term (like an MBA?) then you may want to tune in to see if waiting until mercury is direct and the heavier part of the post transit shadow period has passed before stepping into something of that magnitude. Venus retro is great for brainstorming about business plans and both Mercury and Venus retro are great for writing. Just know that things are more likely to change or turn out differently than expected, which doesn't have to be a bad thing, it is just a time when clarity is fleeting and unless it is something that is short term or a low risk venture, it may benefit from the stars towards the end of February and beyond.
Hi, Ritikaa. It depends on how long the course is and how certain you are that you can afford it. How long is the course you are thinking of and can you afford it or would it be a stretch? Is there anyway you can receive a special type of financing that would make it easier to commit to the payments? Is it for something related to a professional direction, or just for fun?
pre and post shadow periods carry the same energies as the actual transit. any aspect to a combusted venus placement can more easy overstimulate the places in life ruled by the sign you have venus in and the house it is in.
Hey, Lana ~ this could be a great time for you to put your house up, specially this week is even better. Just keep in mind that some people feel desperation to sell something during venus retro and that sometimes manifests in taking much lower than the asset is worth because of that desire to 'just be done with it'. If you feel strong in being able to navigate through this well AND you are also very certain that you actually want to sell the house, then it could be fine and the retrograde can actually help you by bringing you money from your house in the form of the sale :) Look up St. Joseph kit for selling houses, too :)
experiment with this for yourself. there are likely to be some truths in the general 'rules' but there can also be variations. pay attention to the themes at hands, and watch carefully the effects of your actions at this time and afterward so you can see your personal rhythm.
Venus retro can be amazing for bringing in things you wanted for a very long time. If the job comes in, say YES! just look at paperwork extra carefully as you will have excited stars in your eyes and it could be easier from the transit to gloss over terms. I had something I wanted for a long time come in this transit and if I would have taken my eye off of the ball in negotiating and focusing on details I would have missed some very important things. It is a time of much magic and a time to really pay attention to the details and get everything in writing and have clarity around it :)
An abusive horrible relationship I was in finally broke up during a Venus Retrograde period and I thank Venus for this! Although we had broken up before the retrograde already but I let him back into my life. In some cases, if you get an opportunity to get out during a venus retrograde period, run for it!!!!!
I am glad you are out of it! but notice how you had broken up before the venus retro and then let him back in then when it broke for the final time during venus retro it stuck... that is different than someone breaking up for the first time in venus retro. that is why I advise people who are having to make that big decision to use the retrograde to plan and be sure because many people who break up during a venus retro will regret the break up if they don't wait until the energy clears to be sure. glad you are on a better path! I left a difficult relationship on the last day of a venus retro, it was the second break up and it stuck and I am so glad!
And this person also reappeared in my life from the past at the previous Venus Retrograde before our split up during Venus Retrograde! Wow, astrology is incredible!
yes agreed! And I also just realised that we met during Venus retrograde (June 2004) - this is so incredible! Had I known I would have realised I was under a lot of illusions and he was extremely bad news. Bad news that went on for 13 years, on and off...
Publishing a book is funky because a person will have worked on it for a (long) while (and therefore "in the past"), but the day it's published could be considered "launch" day and a bad idea. Hard to know what to do. What's your take, Annie, on releasing/publishing during V-ret art/book/song one has worked on for a while? Doomed?
Hi, Deborah. I write books, too. I haven't shared about this publicly yet because I have all mine pulled for editing but you will see these coming out in a big way in the future. So an example of how I might use the energy is for one of my books that I had previously published, I would consider (if the flow was there to do it) re-publishing it during this early September window. But for my new books that have never been published, I am waiting until the end of December for those. Hope this helps! Excited for you about your book!
Annie Botticelli Thanks, Annie! This helps in a HUGE way! I had picked out some late December dates but wondered if I was going to miss an August boat. I have been so torn! I feel very comfortable waiting now. I really appreciate your response, and I can't wait for your books!
also, you can use the august/sept boosts to do some things that can help boost your launch, like market research, putting together a marketing plan, researching venues for live events to promote the book, etc.
Oh my gosh BWAHAHAHAHA I bought and cancelled a boob job during this retrograde! 350CCs, he was gonna go in through the nipple YEESH LOL I had to pay $1,000 for cancelling just three days before the surgery. I was just too conflicted, and I'm happy to have spent the money to learn such a valuable lesson about my own values and intuition
Hi Annie, I love the way you explain the cosmos, simple and easy. I was wondering what your thoughts would be about on the other hand SELLING something big like a property or home. Would you be likely to get more money for selling a big ticket item or would it be the same as in the deal looks great now but later on you could have made more money??? Your thoughts on this would be appreciated. Many thanks Roanne from Australia
Roanne Bonser Hi, Roanne! There is definitely the strong chance of the scenario you mentioned. It is a great time to re-consider selling something of value, but there is a strong chance that someone will get a good deal on it at your expense. There could be superceding things going on in your natal chart that I can't see, or other details about your situation that might be a caveat to the general rule, so it is important to trust your intution but in general I suggest holding off. Also a consideration for you is Mercury retrograde right behind Venus going direct. Mercury rules contracts and agreements so if you listed your high ticket item and there was a contract involved/closing date set for the usual amount of time (30-60days) your closing would likely be in Mercury retrograde. I have studied my own real estate contracts during this transit for years and see the many different ways it can effect these types of deals. The retrogrades ARE however, a great time to learn more about your market, check out comp's, review your finances/portfolio, and brainstorm around all the posssibilities involving the property. You may find you come up with some ideas that make more sense than selling it. That couldd be the way the retrograde comes up, too - even if you get a fair price for it, you may have a profitable idea after the sale that would have brought you more than selling it all. Good Luck! I am holding the vision with you of clarity and best outcomes :)
hey, Dennis ~ functionality of the eye is not related to venus retro, so you are clear there. where to add caution is spending too much on a STYLE of new glasses that you might turn out to not love. I suggest being conservative with your spending on the frames, unless the amount spent isn't an issue for you :)
Hi, Jess! That is a really great question and one I have never been asked before. In general I would say that the whole year would likely bring chances to wrap up unfinished business but I definitely wouldn't block a whole year out by avoiding relationships for all that time because sometimes Venus retro brings in fated relationships and/or opportunities to heal an old pattern. Sometimes the healing of the old pattern requires a shorter than expected relationship which matches the retro energies. Discounting a relationships value because it may not be longer term could miss important opportunities and assuming that anything that comes in during that year won't be long-term could also be an incorrect assumption. The guidelines that I give in my teachings about retrograde would still hold - such as experimenting with business, relationship, and other venus-related topics, in a way that doesn't permanently bind you to them. Trying something on in love or money in a way that you can easily get out of if it doesn't work for you or working with things that have plenty of space to evolve, also matches the energy. I have a list of guidelines for working with Venus retro in my book Planetology ~ How to Align with the Natural Rhythms of the Universe. Blessings on you journey!
Thank you Annie as always.💕 Btw what about the enrolment for the new course to get a certificate ?( it costs 1000 euro and they are open only during venus retrograde period😅) Does it affect too? Thank you Annie!
If it is affordable to you that could be totally fine. If it is a hobby course then as long as you can afford it, Venus doesn't rule it. and if it is something for your profession, this is a great time to study and work on enhancing current profession or starting to train for something for the future. Some aspects of your intention with the work may change over time and be different than when you started the course, but that can be perfectly fine.
I have heard of people who have venus retrograde in their charts having an easier time when it is retrograde in transit than others, and even heard of them really thriving/having things fall into place for them. Let me know what your experience is!
I sure will!! I have to say everything is so GREAT right now. I mean, truly great, like everything is really falling into place. :) I will check back after it's all said and done.
Jcc526 Yes, so far so good - I am actually doing well, feeling good, motivated, energized, connected. Interesting indeed - I was hoping this would be the case with my retrograde Venus, so I'll enjoy!
Jcc526 I was born with Mercury (in Sagittarius) retrograde. Retrogrades usually affect me the same way they affect everybody else (esp. the don't-sign-contracts advice has its merits - I tried to trick Mercury twice ... to no avail :D ). However, I have noticed that my mind seems to be sharper and noticeably more creative and "in tune" during retrogrades. It's probably the reverse effect - I am at my best when everybody else isn't :D Maybe it's the same for Venus retrograde natals?
Ahhh I just realised I got married 9 years ago when venus was retrograde and I'm about to close on a house this month which the offer was accepted in August?xx
Planning to do hairstyling course.. should I wait till the retrograde period is over.. hair is not a new thing to me I am in hair and beauty profession for quite sometime.. pls reply.
Hi. Education during venus retro about a beauty topic is very well-indicated as long as you can afford the course it sounds like a perfect match for the transit.
Great explanation Thankyou! Sorry to hear you some hard lessons but you're an amazing person and I just wanted to say that and I wish you the best in the everything you do! Stay happy healthy and safe :)
regular medical surgeries aren't affected by this transit except the financial expense aspect of them, which may be out of your hands anyway. also the one thing to watch is the chance for more scarring so watch out for that and try to employ preventative measures if that is a concern.
I have heard of so many people who planned to get married during shadow and venus retrograde and now can’t due to the pandemic and lockdown! I find it so interesting
spot on ... we love when you share an example of your experiences ... lovely
Hide under a blanket for four months, got it.
oy! you are definitely reading that very differently than presented!
Misunderstanding or not, I thought this answer was so funny :-)))
Annie so we are now in Venus retrograde 2020, it started when n will last till when?

Hi Annie, Sag subscriber here. I came to this video since it's Venus retrograde time again. Thanks for you hard work.
I’m glad you have shared this post 😊
Here I am at your video 1 year later & I appreciate YOU Annie even more!!! You have a unique way that is alot more detailed in describing transits! Im grateful to YOU & to the Universe for your beautiful energy crossing my path!!!
I love your way of interpreting astrology!
Also, your short hair is great!
Ms. Botticelli, I loved all the illustrations you have used to explain the Venus retrograde. I really appreciate your honesty and directness in matters that can have lasting negative impacts if made unwisely. Wishing you the very best. Sincerely- M
It's Dec 2021and I'm watching your retrograde video. Such a cutie :)
Wonderful explanation of Venus Retrograde. Thank you Annie.XO
you are FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for all of the info. that you share....you are blessed :)
This is the first time I am watching your videos. I really like the way you presented the topic. Looking forward to your new posts.
Oh my goodness! I nearly didn't recognize you when this came up on my feed.
How did you get your hair so long in 6 years?
Lol, it has actually grown much longer than it is now because I have cut it a lot over the last 6 years since I starting growing it out! One day I will talk about this in a book but you can see one piece in a video I made called Longer, Stronger Hair Cutting with the Moon Cycles - just search for something like that and my name on TH-cam and it should come up.
Had to watch this one again!
Thank you so much for helping us navigate Venus Retrograde. I really appreciate it!!! Love and gratitude....
my pleasure and privilege to assist!!
I love how you mentioned you are an Aries rising and how you "just do it anyway" and it's hard to tame. I am also an Aries rising, and I felt that lol!
Most of us aren’t going to like this period , but hopefully all of us will reflect on it later to see how significant it was for the future to come . Thanks Anne for the heads up and tips. What I like about your videos are that you are upfront and don’t sugar coat anything. Personally for me , I feel like I go in better prepared during difficult periods knowing things as they are rather than expecting rainbows and butterflies everywhere... thanks again
Great, Jessica :) and yes, I do like to prepare you if there is something challenging as a potential. I have seen over years of tracking this transit that issues/aka things we don't like, will come up to the degree that they still need resolution. If we have bee actively working on healing those things, then the cycle can bring amazing manifestation from previous work done. It can bring in many things hoped for in Venus' domain. I hope the transit has some nice surprises for you :)
Awesome video. You addressed so many points quickly and thoroughly. Thank you.
Wow. Your hair gre alot in 3 yrs. Thankyou so much for all of your help. Namaste
This is really wonderful, practical advice.
Thank You for this video.
ive been in the mood for shopping all of a sudden!! youre so right. but i will shop for a bargain. good tips :) thanks
Oh, I didn't see it, THANK YOU SO MUCH Annie. Much appreciate it.
wow after viewing this last nite, it has me thinkn this was the best video I've seen all year .......u hit it out of the park....... thanks
This is a great information to have, I just shared it. You're one good Aries, my respect's to you. Thank you! Namaste
I agree about everything looks beautiful. lol. With this current transit, I have finally let go off the past relationship baggage I had. Since my baggage has been eliminated I find myself extremely willing to take on a relationship even with people I previously would not consider.
I have Venus ret 3rd oo3 sag mercury ret conj Saturn Scorpio 2nd house 54🎉
I have shared your video who is about to start a business in the near future. I think this will save the a lot of headaches and regrets.🙏🤙🤙🤙💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💫💫😘

Hi Annie! I'm new to your channel, and I'm curious if you can update a pinned comment to reflect this year's Venus in Retro? Thanks for the advice.
I'm a Libra with my Venus in Scorpio. I'm guessing I should be especially careful?
Care is definitely a tagline of the transit but also remember that much magic can pour in from this transit, too! and yes, with Venus making its transit through the signs that you have placements it is likely things will be more apparent from the transit. Yes, it can bring challenges if there is something unresolved that is seeking resolution but it can also bring in manifestations that you have been wanting for a long time.
@@AnnieBotticellithank you so much!!!
Astrology could be so spot on sometimes to the point where you're just not fazed or creeped out by it anymore. I just splurged so much on clothing which I haven't done in a really long time - I don't even usually like shopping. Didn't know about Venus being Retrograde. My long distance partner just came back from where he works for the weekend. We met and now I'm reconsidering things because an issue that previously came up but was just brushed under the rug resurfaced. I had the hunch to just wait out making any decisions before I knew Venus was Retrograde.
you make a good breakdown presentation.. Thank you
I met the greatest man I have ever met while Venus was retrograde last month! We had the best time ever and we connected on an extreme level of ease and comfort! I trust this arcance science and even told him about it! He said he had the best time ever with anyone with me! I can't marry him ever? We have so much in common and enjoyed every moment we spent together! I was trying to be very careful with him during this time! He spent so much money on a resort last weekend and more! I hope we can be together forever! 😢
Hi :) how exciting! there are always caveats in ones personal chart that could supersede the general transits. If you managed to not 'solidify' your romantic connection, if you know what I mean ;) that leaves more room in the direct energies for the energies to gel for the long-term. But even if you did move into that part of your romantic connection, not all relationships that start during venus retro are doomed so keep the faith that this is the real deal but do try to wait until towards the end of May or June to actually get engaged, move in together, or making any other big decisions like that. I will hold the vision with you of perfect outcomes :)
La to the Bay... Did you get married?
@@evolvinglove7786 yes.. Are you guys still together.
Did it last?
Hii what happened with you and him?!!!!
This really helps thank you ! !!
I learned my lesson during the last Venus retrograde 🤦🏽♀️
Love the new hairstyle!!
Thank you! but this is very old. I recorded it many years ago :) My hair has grown feet since then :)
LOVE YOIR HAIRCUT! You look like little Pixie.❤️
And values ... that's why money because it's a concept of value. I sense this one is going to hit me and a lot of people in updating what we do and don't value and seeing the alignment or misalignment of that in our lives .
Absolutely!!
Annie Botticelli I
I love this so much! It really shows your evolution! its also really helpful! ❤ #shineyourbrilliance!
:) !!
that was awesome- LOVE LIFE AND ABUNDANCE.
I met another sag at the beginning of this. He’s such a beautiful person. I’m really happy now not pushing anything in any direction and just being grateful for the time being.
Your hair grows fast! I love your long hair! So you have any recommendations for hair growth?
Thank you! look for my video, "Growing your hair longer, quicker with Moon cycles". and also good nutrition tends to show up in hair, skin, and nails.
Annie Botticelli Thank You so much!❤️👍
Great insight, Thank you so much! :-)
What about venus retrograde in a progressed chart? I was born in a shadow period just before venus retrograde began, so most of my life Ive had venus retrograde in my progressed chart (n still another 11 years to go). Does this mean when venus goes retrograde it has less impact ? Or could be positive? This time round the venus retrograde transits my natal sun in leo n my natal mercury too.
I love your channel!! Can you please make playlists for these types of videos. Not the forecasts(too many), but Astrological explanations
great! that is a great idea :) I will figure out how to do that.
Thank You Annie!***Thank You For ALL Of Your Great Advice! You Are So AWESOME! :-)
Thanks, Annie! Great information!!
thnak you, you always explain it so nicely
This should be interesting with it happening at Christmas this year! Will everyone hate their presents come end of January?
so true. any time madee a purchase during Venus retro I've always ended up disappointed after the fact. I am having gum surgery on the tenth. I was scheduled a year ago to have it done bit had to cancel due to other obligations so I think it should be OK..... I hope.
....
Hi :) re. your surgery, is it cosmetic or medical? if it is medical, then you are clear. especially since march 10th is clear from the mercury retrograde energies which I don't like as much for surgeries unless they are absolutely necessary.
Annie Botticelli so awesome of you to take the time to share your insight. I think it will be OK because it is a rescheduled appointment that I had a few months back. thanks again for taking the time.
Lasting Beauty what gum surgery? i m interested in what surgeries r available for gums... thx.
Hello, we're moving house in a couple of months. It's a shell of a house and I'm going to have to decorate the whole lot to live in, so I 'have' to invest in flooring and decorate. Would you recommend I invest in the most basically basic flooring that I can't bare, or just go with the mid range etc? Would you recommend curbing my enthusiasm in general for the remodeling of the house or are there ways I can investigate the best way to do it? Perhaps doing old ideas I fancied for my dream house rather than new designs? It's a potentially short term house but could be a loooong term. I had to accept the house in the retrograde season earlier this year too. If anyone reading this or the vlogger has any tips I would be very grateful xx
hey! congrats on your new chapter! when are you moving in exactly. I can better advise knowing this.
Following.... we have just purchased a block to build & I need to start drawing up house designs. 😳😬
@@AnnieBotticelli hi, well this is the thing, we're experiencing delays (handy delays for me) because there is asbestos to be removed. This can take about 8 weeks, but we're not sure when the work has been started as it is a social housing property and they're not being transparent. My first calculation was the 26 th November, but two weeks after the calculation they saud they had not yet even got the keys to the property, so it can be up to three weeks later than the 26 th November potentially.
♥️ Thank you so much for responding, astrology can be so much fun, interesting and handy.
@@blissjoyful eek! I wonder if you've had the ideas and the designs in your mind for a while, that it might be OK!
smitten kitten yes fortunately I've been collecting ideas & starting designing myself months ago.good luck ✨
Thank you so much for the video! I'm a libra sun and I have been working on a project for a couple months. Would that be ok to launch? Thank you again.
Thanks, I learned a lot. Always interesting. And fun.
willreiner fuellmich who is doing court case to save humanity be successful in retrograde?he isstating end of this monthfor newrinbig 2
Love your forecasts and insights :)
Anyway, gave up anything with Venus, because the placement of Saturn in my NC shadows every area. ... But interesting to listen about Venus retrograde :)
What a wonderful time we are in 🙄 lol .... so basically one should just go into Hibernation.... lol
in some ways, yes, but more just bringing a grounded awareness to interactions in the Venus' arenas. There are many things the transit is really good for doing.
2021 into 2022...For those of us that celebrate Christmas, Venus retrograde will be starting soon before, with the shadow period starting a little before Thanksgiving...can you imagine all the gift returns??? Yikes! My husband is a last minute shopper too. I'm going to try to purchase gifts early if I can, and for those I can't, try to be sure about the purchase. And receipts...saving all the receipts.
Truth, Stacey!! but at least people can also get good deals with the transit!!
Thank you! blessings
Thanks Annie, great video! How about looking for and starting a new job?
Hi, Uyanga ~ Finding work could be well-favored now, just keep in mind the term of the position may be shorter than expected and will favor types or work, contacts, etc. from the past over new companies or new line of work. A new position now is more likely to be a transition position but that doesn't have to be a bad thing! Try to get anything promised in writing as some things may be withheld. But overall, some great opportunities for work. best of luck!
I'm libra with venus in Libra
Me too. Love it. :)
Thank you so much you have been very helpful! !! Being a double Taurus, and moon in Virgo, takes a lot of contemplating and research to jump ship..sometimes a double edged sword lol surprised I'm not more impulsive with Mars, mercury and Venus in Aries, Jupiter in Leo and Neptune in Sag. Full of fire and Earth lol thank you for taking the time to do your videos and replying back! I usually never make comments or questions but glad I did this time. Love, light and blessings. .Namaste~
Hi Annie, I am from India and I need to know if you read horoscopes. If you do how does one get to know the process for the same including the cost? Pls advise 🙏🙏
Love and light to you.
Annie hi. Where is this beach? Its one of your best environments.
You are definitely right that the beach is my best area!! I took this picture when I was on the island of Kauai :)
Today is the 6th day of the retrograde, and my sister just went to pick up her brand new car, lol. Thankfully, she and her husband had made the purchase before the retrograde started this year (2017). Unfortunately, I have to start a new job assignment next week but I will hold off on making a final evaluation of its suitability until the retrograde is over. Great tips, thank you.
Love your new haircut! Cute!
thanks! it was an old haircut. I recorded this video a couple of venus retrogrades ago :)
would initiating a lawsuit be a bad thing to do also in V retro?
What that hell with venus retrgrade i hate this it make me craizy my energy i have to fix some thing for the pass that issue is in my head all day all night .
retrogrades definitely can bring up unresolved issues!
hello Annie! What about writing projects in this period or developing bussines plans? Or even applying for a Business degree? For me this period has been pretty great work wise ( I got some freelance projects) and some energy to start new things (in planning mostly) and I have to say that my Venus is in Capricorn, in my first ASC house (Sagittarius). I don't know if it is related or not, but by the end of the month, I received a collaboration opportunity, but it smelled sketchy. I didn't knew the woman. I initially agreed to a meeting to discuss more, but a few hours before, I changed my mind, and cancelled the meeting. I am still thinking if maybe I was overthinking about it or not, but hey, sometimes the gut know better than we do. Anyway, it has been a very full month (with good and bads), but very interesting as well. :)
Hi :). Venus retro is a great time to try things on, education, etc. but since Mercury is also retro now, if the business degree is longer term (like an MBA?) then you may want to tune in to see if waiting until mercury is direct and the heavier part of the post transit shadow period has passed before stepping into something of that magnitude. Venus retro is great for brainstorming about business plans and both Mercury and Venus retro are great for writing. Just know that things are more likely to change or turn out differently than expected, which doesn't have to be a bad thing, it is just a time when clarity is fleeting and unless it is something that is short term or a low risk venture, it may benefit from the stars towards the end of February and beyond.
@@AnnieBotticelli wow, thank you very much, Annie!
hi does this apply to starting a new course too
Hi, Ritikaa. It depends on how long the course is and how certain you are that you can afford it. How long is the course you are thinking of and can you afford it or would it be a stretch? Is there anyway you can receive a special type of financing that would make it easier to commit to the payments? Is it for something related to a professional direction, or just for fun?
Back in June 2016,We set the wedding date for March 2017. we'll wait.
Ur great! How does Venus retrograde affect a Combusted Venus in birth chart?
What happens in pre and post shadow of Venus retrogrades?
Thanks, Annie.
pre and post shadow periods carry the same energies as the actual transit. any aspect to a combusted venus placement can more easy overstimulate the places in life ruled by the sign you have venus in and the house it is in.
Annie Botticelli ythank u. My combusted venus in leo is in tenth house, (along with sun, rahu, jupiter, saturn, Mercury) im unsure what aspects.
Thank you so much! :-)much appreciated!!! :)
Cute new hair!
it is from a few years ago, still long but thank you anyway :)
What about selling a house? I was waiting for Mercury to go direct to put it on the market and now Venus is going retrograde.
Hey, Lana ~ this could be a great time for you to put your house up, specially this week is even better. Just keep in mind that some people feel desperation to sell something during venus retro and that sometimes manifests in taking much lower than the asset is worth because of that desire to 'just be done with it'. If you feel strong in being able to navigate through this well AND you are also very certain that you actually want to sell the house, then it could be fine and the retrograde can actually help you by bringing you money from your house in the form of the sale :) Look up St. Joseph kit for selling houses, too :)
Thanks a lot . Useful advice. Question... are these rules applicable if one is born on a venus retrograde?
experiment with this for yourself. there are likely to be some truths in the general 'rules' but there can also be variations. pay attention to the themes at hands, and watch carefully the effects of your actions at this time and afterward so you can see your personal rhythm.
@@AnnieBotticelli thanks for the insight. Stay blessed 😊
Annie,
What if you get offered a new job that you really want?
Venus retro can be amazing for bringing in things you wanted for a very long time. If the job comes in, say YES! just look at paperwork extra carefully as you will have excited stars in your eyes and it could be easier from the transit to gloss over terms. I had something I wanted for a long time come in this transit and if I would have taken my eye off of the ball in negotiating and focusing on details I would have missed some very important things. It is a time of much magic and a time to really pay attention to the details and get everything in writing and have clarity around it :)
An abusive horrible relationship I was in finally broke up during a Venus Retrograde period and I thank Venus for this! Although we had broken up before the retrograde already but I let him back into my life. In some cases, if you get an opportunity to get out during a venus retrograde period, run for it!!!!!
I am glad you are out of it! but notice how you had broken up before the venus retro and then let him back in then when it broke for the final time during venus retro it stuck... that is different than someone breaking up for the first time in venus retro. that is why I advise people who are having to make that big decision to use the retrograde to plan and be sure because many people who break up during a venus retro will regret the break up if they don't wait until the energy clears to be sure. glad you are on a better path! I left a difficult relationship on the last day of a venus retro, it was the second break up and it stuck and I am so glad!
And this person also reappeared in my life from the past at the previous Venus Retrograde before our split up during Venus Retrograde! Wow, astrology is incredible!
yes agreed! And I also just realised that we met during Venus retrograde (June 2004) - this is so incredible! Had I known I would have realised I was under a lot of illusions and he was extremely bad news. Bad news that went on for 13 years, on and off...
great awareness!!
Publishing a book is funky because a person will have worked on it for a (long) while (and therefore "in the past"), but the day it's published could be considered "launch" day and a bad idea. Hard to know what to do. What's your take, Annie, on releasing/publishing during V-ret art/book/song one has worked on for a while? Doomed?
Hi, Deborah. I write books, too. I haven't shared about this publicly yet because I have all mine pulled for editing but you will see these coming out in a big way in the future. So an example of how I might use the energy is for one of my books that I had previously published, I would consider (if the flow was there to do it) re-publishing it during this early September window. But for my new books that have never been published, I am waiting until the end of December for those. Hope this helps! Excited for you about your book!
Annie Botticelli Thanks, Annie! This helps in a HUGE way! I had picked out some late December dates but wondered if I was going to miss an August boat. I have been so torn! I feel very comfortable waiting now. I really appreciate your response, and I can't wait for your books!
so glad I could help!!
also, you can use the august/sept boosts to do some things that can help boost your launch, like market research, putting together a marketing plan, researching venues for live events to promote the book, etc.
Hi Annie, how about resigning from a job btwn may 1 - 6 th?
I like May 9th and after better for that :) the energies are still a little chaotic from mercury going direct the 1-6.
Awesome thank you!
Thank you so much 💕 this really helps us. How long we should wait for venus retograde to completed please?
in 2018 mercury is retrograde right after venus goes direct. I am holding off on bigger things until the end of December
Great video, Annie! What's your suggestion for the situation where progressed Venus is stationary retrograde at 0 Cancer?
My situation has been complicated for a long time… almost a year. LOL - I’m confused on a decision
I'm an astrologer, I would like to see your chart
lol, it is extreme for sure - 9 placements in Sag through sign and house, Aries rising, and Cap moon.
My husband will be going through a jury trial starting the 28th and no way to delay it what do we do we stand to loose everything. Thanks
Aries Sun here, my partner left relationship during this Venus retrograde🥲
If a change work with venus retrograde?
Oh my gosh BWAHAHAHAHA I bought and cancelled a boob job during this retrograde! 350CCs, he was gonna go in through the nipple YEESH LOL I had to pay $1,000 for cancelling just three days before the surgery. I was just too conflicted, and I'm happy to have spent the money to learn such a valuable lesson about my own values and intuition
I have 3 weddings to go to this year, and every single one is during a retrograde or shadow period for Venus &/or Mercury.
Hi Annie, I love the way you explain the cosmos, simple and easy. I was wondering what your thoughts would be about on the other hand SELLING something big like a property or home. Would you be likely to get more money for selling a big ticket item or would it be the same as in the deal looks great now but later on you could have made more money??? Your thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Roanne
from Australia
Roanne Bonser Hi, Roanne! There is definitely the strong chance of the scenario you mentioned. It is a great time to re-consider selling something of value, but there is a strong chance that someone will get a good deal on it at your expense. There could be superceding things going on in your natal chart that I can't see, or other details about your situation that might be a caveat to the general rule, so it is important to trust your intution but in general I suggest holding off. Also a consideration for you is Mercury retrograde right behind Venus going direct. Mercury rules contracts and agreements so if you listed your high ticket item and there was a contract involved/closing date set for the usual amount of time (30-60days) your closing would likely be in Mercury retrograde. I have studied my own real estate contracts during this transit for years and see the many different ways it can effect these types of deals. The retrogrades ARE however, a great time to learn more about your market, check out comp's, review your finances/portfolio, and brainstorm around all the posssibilities involving the property. You may find you come up with some ideas that make more sense than selling it. That couldd be the way the retrograde comes up, too - even if you get a fair price for it, you may have a profitable idea after the sale that would have brought you more than selling it all. Good Luck! I am holding the vision with you of clarity and best outcomes :)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. However, I am scheduled for an eye exam next week. Is that covered under "cosmetic"? I really need new eyeglasses.
hey, Dennis ~ functionality of the eye is not related to venus retro, so you are clear there. where to add caution is spending too much on a STYLE of new glasses that you might turn out to not love. I suggest being conservative with your spending on the frames, unless the amount spent isn't an issue for you :)
Hi Annie!
What about having Venus retrograde in the solar return 7th house?
Is it not best to start a new relationship within that solar return year?
Hi, Jess! That is a really great question and one I have never been asked before. In general I would say that the whole year would likely bring chances to wrap up unfinished business but I definitely wouldn't block a whole year out by avoiding relationships for all that time because sometimes Venus retro brings in fated relationships and/or opportunities to heal an old pattern. Sometimes the healing of the old pattern requires a shorter than expected relationship which matches the retro energies. Discounting a relationships value because it may not be longer term could miss important opportunities and assuming that anything that comes in during that year won't be long-term could also be an incorrect assumption. The guidelines that I give in my teachings about retrograde would still hold - such as experimenting with business, relationship, and other venus-related topics, in a way that doesn't permanently bind you to them. Trying something on in love or money in a way that you can easily get out of if it doesn't work for you or working with things that have plenty of space to evolve, also matches the energy. I have a list of guidelines for working with Venus retro in my book Planetology ~ How to Align with the Natural Rhythms of the Universe. Blessings on you journey!
bornon 21 december what does it mean.i want to get dancing shoes for birthday should i put it off
If you can afford them then don't worry and go ahead and get them! It is a great time to spruce up your look.
Thank you Annie as always.💕
Btw what about the enrolment for the new course to get a certificate ?( it costs 1000 euro and
they are open only during venus retrograde period😅)
Does it affect too?
Thank you Annie!
If it is affordable to you that could be totally fine. If it is a hobby course then as long as you can afford it, Venus doesn't rule it. and if it is something for your profession, this is a great time to study and work on enhancing current profession or starting to train for something for the future. Some aspects of your intention with the work may change over time and be different than when you started the course, but that can be perfectly fine.
@@AnnieBotticelli Oh Thank ypu so much Annie as always for your kindness and generosity !
This course is for my future job xxx
Do you feel it affects people the same with their natal Venus in rx?
I have heard of people who have venus retrograde in their charts having an easier time when it is retrograde in transit than others, and even heard of them really thriving/having things fall into place for them. Let me know what your experience is!
I sure will!! I have to say everything is so GREAT right now. I mean, truly great, like everything is really falling into place. :) I will check back after it's all said and done.
Jcc526 Yes, so far so good - I am actually doing well, feeling good, motivated, energized, connected. Interesting indeed - I was hoping this would be the case with my retrograde Venus, so I'll enjoy!
Jcc526 I was born with Mercury (in Sagittarius) retrograde. Retrogrades usually affect me the same way they affect everybody else (esp. the don't-sign-contracts advice has its merits - I tried to trick Mercury twice ... to no avail :D ). However, I have noticed that my mind seems to be sharper and noticeably more creative and "in tune" during retrogrades. It's probably the reverse effect - I am at my best when everybody else isn't :D Maybe it's the same for Venus retrograde natals?
Hi :) Having venus in Leo could increase the effects of the retrograde since transiting venus would be aspecting your natal placement.
Ahhh I just realised I got married 9 years ago when venus was retrograde and I'm about to close on a house this month which the offer was accepted in August?xx
Planning to do hairstyling course.. should I wait till the retrograde period is over.. hair is not a new thing to me I am in hair and beauty profession for quite sometime.. pls reply.
Hi. Education during venus retro about a beauty topic is very well-indicated as long as you can afford the course it sounds like a perfect match for the transit.
Great explanation Thankyou! Sorry to hear you some hard lessons but you're an amazing person and I just wanted to say that and I wish you the best in the everything you do! Stay happy healthy and safe :)
Thank you!!!! Many Blessings to you!!
you look great too.
How about non-cosmetic surgery? Does Venus play a part?
regular medical surgeries aren't affected by this transit except the financial expense aspect of them, which may be out of your hands anyway. also the one thing to watch is the chance for more scarring so watch out for that and try to employ preventative measures if that is a concern.
