Venus Retrograde in Capricorn
✨ 19th December 2021 - 29th January 2022
Venus going retrograde gives us the opportunity to reflect on our relationships, financial assets and self-worth. People might have trouble seeing the correct value of not only material things, but also themselves or their connections!
Do you know your worth? Or do you let others walk over you and use you? Now is a great time to take a step back and set new boundaries. Focus on self-love, rather than chasing old flings and seeking validation from elsewhere.
Venus Retrograde is known for bringing back exes and old lovers from the past. And many people easily fall into this ‘trap’. Remember that you have most likely left these people in the past for a reason. Do they really deserve your time now?
Any current relationships could be challenged by this retrograde. Communication is key here, so if you want your relationship to continue, make sure both parties involved have the same intentions and are going to put in equal amount of work and energy!
Since Venus is in Capricorn, we might also be challenged when it comes to our finances. What I recommend here is to make sure you are as organized as possible, keeping track of all your incomes and spendings. This is definitely not the time for reckless spending!!
And lastly, Venus is strongly connected to our appearance. Avoid dramatic last-minute changes (yes, this means fighting the urge to suddenly change your hair color or get a tattoo). Because what you think you like now might completely change once Venus is direct.
✨What to avoid:
Dramatically changing your appearance
Reconnecting with exes and friends who were left in the past for a reason
Reckless shopping, spending money you shouldn’t be spending
Don’t sell yourself short. Know your worth!
I wish you the best✨

The planet of love venus went retrograde in sing of capricorn♑️
❤️Venus represent our love, how we love, what we love, how we give love, beauty, money, value, our creative. We also turn to Venus to show how we spend our money, the types of gifts we buy, and how much we spend on leisure activities.
❤️Venus rules attachments to others. It rules attractiveness–both the ability to attract and attraction to others (and things). In Venus, we find a need to be appreciated and to appreciate. Venus rules, amongst other things, the arts, love and romance, beauty and the beautifying process, money, entertainment, leisure, sensuality, and comfort. In Venus we find what attracts us and who we are attracted to.
🍒With venus retrograde u can end some relationship or you find that some relationships no longer serve you. You can find someone new, soulmate. An ex-partner can come back into your life. Since this retrograde takes place in Capricorn, it’s possible that you will start to feel a bit stoic or closed off emotionally. You may also notice that your significant other or crush feels more distant than usual, but it’ll be important to not take these emotional shifts personally, as it’s likely your heart’s desire just needs some space. Venus is good for focusing on yourself, on success, career, to build something. With Venus here for an extended stay, we’ll be thinking way more practically about our relationships and focusing on the returns of our investments — such as how we can bring more stability, longevity, and value to our commitments. With retrograde venus it is not good to make drastic changes in appearance such as hair, plastic surgery, tattoos.

December’s Venus Retrograde
On December 19, 2021, Venus will Station Retrograde in Capricorn. What does this mean for us?
To understand this transit, we need to first break down the elements that collectively compose its energy. Venus is a personal planet with strong feminine energy, and it reigns over abundance, sensuality, beauty, and our connection to nature. Venus is the natural ruler of Taurus and Libra, which are both signs with an eye for aesthetics and a love for comfort.
Capricorn, on the other hand, is a serious and no-nonsense sign with cardinal earth energy. It isn’t the most natural placement for Venus, but it’s certainly an interesting one.
We’re now approaching Capricorn Season, so those themes are amplified in the wider astrological climate. This means that Capricorn-related topics will likely show up in our lives in increasing quantity and intensity as more celestial bodies move through Capricorn’s energy (and encourage us to do the same).
So what are the themes brought to light by Capricorn, and how will this transit impact them? Let’s talk about it.
This Transit
Venus will be retrograde in Capricorn from December 19 to January 29, 2022. However, you won’t have to wait to feel its effects: the pre-retrograde zone began on November 17, and the post-retrograde phase ends on March 1, 2022. Needless to say, it’s best to settle in and embrace the changes that this transit is about to bring, because it’s not ending anytime soon.
Venus, the planet of love and beauty, rules over pleasure, comfort, relationships, and artistic expression. It influences how you relate to and attract others. With this in mind, we can understand that Venus’ Station Retrograde in Capricorn will turn our relationships upside down as we reevaluate the way we commit to others and ourselves.
During Venus Retrograde in Capricorn, you may have a more no-nonsense approach to romance than usual. You have a list of criteria that need to be met, and you don’t have time or energy to mess around. It’s okay for your expectations to be high, but consider checking in to see if they are realistic. Is there anything you’re willing to compromise on?
On the other side of the spectrum, if your expectations are too low, Venus in Capricorn will push you to raise them so that you can attract a partner who is actually on your level. Now is the time to identify what you truly need from a relationship. If your current partner or dating pool isn’t meeting those needs (and isn’t willing to step up to the plate), then it’s time to value yourself enough to walk away.
All in all, Venus Retrograde will be the time for some deep soul-searching, so be prepared to get to know yourself (and your loved ones) on a whole new level.
Reflection Prompts
If you’re at all familiar with my work, you know I’m a huge fan of reflection prompts — so, of course, I’ve come up with a handful to help guide you through this transit. Each prompt is designed to coincide with themes illuminated by Venus’s Retrograde in Capricorn. Of course, you don’t have to use all (or any) of my prompts — if you’d like to come up with your own, the themes to focus on are commitment, values systems, romantic expectations and needs, and your relationship with solitude.
With all that being said, let’s get into the prompts!
Would you say your romantic expectations are realistic? Why or why not?
Journal about a time where you accepted less than you deserved in a relationship (romantic or platonic). What led up to this, and how did it make you feel? How would you handle this situation differently now?
In what ways have you matured since last year?
What is a new commitment you are willing to make to yourself (or your partner)?
Has your idea of what love and relationships mean changed over the past year? How so?
Where does Venus fall in your natal chart?
