Venus went retrograde October 8, 2010

Venus went retrograde on Friday, October 8 in the sign of Scorpio and goes direct on November 18 in the sign of Libra. Hopefully you prepared your finances so you have enough money to cover your basic expenses. Also be aware that there may be bargains in luxury goods between October 8 and November 18. As time goes by, more and more money flees your account because of extra expenses. You could need a necessity like fuel oil and you order more than you usually do because you think the prices is better than it will be after November 18. You are right.

If you are a Taurus or Libra, you may be more affected than people of the other signs. This is because Venus is your patron planet. However Venus is in the sign of Scorpio, meaning Scorpio and Taurus people can experience tense love relationships. Venus in the sign of Scorpio can mean a drop in the money or stock markets because both Taurus and Scorpio are associated with (or rule) money. Taurus may have the feeling of being pushed, this will pass. 


Scorpio may be either more intense and persistent than usual, or absorbed in financial issues and not be amorous at all until after November 18.

Taurus, Leo and Aquarius could experience control issues in financial situations and close relationships. The Scorpio energy with Venus is intense, focused and persistent. 

Cancer and Pisces may have good love relationships with a tinge of feeling controlled or the opposite: your significant other seems not to be interested. This will pass. 


Virgo and Capricorn may be working too hard to notice a lack of affection, but will be acutely aware of any lessening of income and work hard in response. Money will come back to you after November 18. 


Aries and Gemini may need to adjust to their loved ones moodiness or seriousness that comes to the surface; something both signs are not comfortable with. Your loved will not always be this way, so adjust and all will be well after November 18. 


Libra and Sagittarius should be neutral with your love life, but you will notice added expenses that are relieved after November 18.
