Every 18 months, Venus goes retrograde for 40 days, and those born during these times have distinct personality traits.
Retrograde planets are common in the natal chart.
Because Mercury is one of the fastest-moving planets, we have several Mercury retrograde periods per year (usually around four), which means that being born during Mercury retrograde is fairly common. Natal Venus retrograde, on the other hand, occurs less frequently.
Because Venus retrograde occurs every 18 months and lasts only 40 days, having it in the chart can be quite interesting because it is not as common. Having this planet retrograde, however, indicates that you are in tune with Venusian themes. They are often creative, self-assured, and hopeless romantics.
What it means if you were born during Venus retrograde
Being born during Venus Retrograde indicates that you will be able to analyze partnerships much more than the average person. Channeling their energy into something they enjoy (art, books, education, etc.) will assist them in reflecting the energy back into their relationships. Someone whose natal chart has Venus retrograde will understand how to value themselves, especially in relationships.
The Venus retrograde native has a level of awareness that is filled with wisdom, most likely as a result of past karmic experiences. Venus’s level of understanding gives the native an advantage in relationships. They know what they want, are less attached to their partner, and will think twice before succumbing to emotions. Venus is in command and assertive here. Only someone deserving can see their passionate side.
