Characteristics of Venus’ energy
Venus is the second closest planet to the Sun after Mercury, and goes around the twelve moon signs in approximately one year.
It travels within Earth’s orbit, so it never ventures far from the Sun.
We say Venus is “the morning star” or “the evening star”, and that’s because Venus positions itself near the Sun and can be seen at dawn or dusk.
The distinct and radiant Venus supervises “love, beauty, and abundance”.
As you may know, Venus is also the name of a goddess of love and beauty. Along with Jupiter, Venus is a notable benefit, and a ruler of Taurus – in control of income, five senses, first-class items – and of Libra – in control of romance, partnership.
Venus’ jurisdictions
Femininity
Romance
Comfort
Beauty
Elegance
Attraction
Money
Luxurious living
Enjoying
Abundance
So Venus is the one that creates a life of abundance and color! The words “femininity, money, romance” remind me of the Moon’s energy – what’s the difference? I would describe the Moon as the tree roots, and Venus as the flower or the fruit that derives out. More precisely, like this:
Moon Venus
Femininity in general A woman’s attraction
Stable income source Side income, spontaneous income
Soulmates Popularity, flings
For beautiful flowers to blossom or delicious fruit to grow, you first need to firm up the roots – in this case, the Moon.
2. How to be bestowed with Venus’ power
Romance, beauty, luxurious life, etc…

Don’t be too stingy
Praise others, be kind to others, and basically give love to others
Brighten up your bedroom with roses or lilies
Wear tight-fitting clothes to show off your curves

Magenta power to enhance Venus’ potential
Venus supports those filled with affection. To send love, Keiko recommends “magenta”.
Magenta is blue-ish, dark pink. According to Keiko, Magenta is a supreme color with high energy.
So embrace people with affection, just like Magenta’s warm vibes.
Of course, don’t forget to embrace yourself too. All you have to do is just imagine Magenta’s color.
What happens during Venus’ retrograde
All eight planets except for Sun and Moon go through retrogrades.
In horoscopes, retrograde means that the planet cannot display its power to the fullest.
Moreover, the energy which was supposed to be emitted outward stays within, and this brings effect to the terrestrial world in many ways.
Venus’ retrograde occurs once every 18 months, and each retrograde lasts about 42 days.
During this period, the following things tend to happen.
Delay in payment
Flat revenue
Slow progress in romance
Not being able to contact your love interest
Two lovers growing apart
A reunion or getting back together
Venus’ retrograde doesn’t quite sound familiar, right?
It’s not as often as Mercury’s, or as serious as Saturn’s. Venus is a natural benefit, so it doesn’t cause much of a trouble when its energy becomes stagnant.
How to spend Venus’ retrograde
Venus’ retrograde is, in fact, quite useful just like Mercury’s.
Why not try the following things?
Deepen existing relationships
Revive old relationships
Aging care
Brush up on your beauty
If you want to dig into beauty care, I advise you to focus on the body parts of the moon sign where Venus is retrograding. Venus really is a formidable ally for women. To know which body part(s) for which moon sign, check out “Body Care” under “Fortune Boosters” at the end of the moon sign pages.
Tendencies of Venus retrograde children
What effects do we see on people born during Saturn’s retrograde?

Here are some tendencies of those born during Saturn’s retrograde.
Becomes shy when it comes to love
Struggles to show affection

If any of these sound relevant, remember below.
Do things that make you feel comfortable
