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? Thank you for sending this to me bc as a Libra sun, virgo rising, cappy moon, already one relationship I really wanted just fizzled out Easter Sunday 2020, n there is someone very interested in me n we only became friends since beginning of March n have good times together and I been putting brakes on it going any further without really knowing why, he really is wonderful man n I wouldn't want to screw this up with him, so keeping just friends anyways with covid 19, we see each other only one day a week for talking n getting to know each other as well a DVD movie but I won't snuggle up with him n he want's to go forward, so I am making the correct decision I take it from everything you said so far, the other thing Venus is my ruler in Libra too, I was set since moving here 15 months ago to sell asa possible bc I'm not happy with my place, I began thinking well I could bc I haven't unpacked my own personal touches to my place at least unwrap n hang some on walls n look for bargains bc there's only a few thing's I need to be happy here till selling it, everything is in my fourth house n 9th house, where n what shld I do. Thank you so much for responding this, it showed me why I'm not happy here lol, but I need to stay alittle longer it seems so I was shooting at end of August into September to.mobe again is it that a good enough allowed time frame to go fourth than,? Your such a sweet soul and thank you for your wonderful work n bringing this inbox to me in gmail again, I obviously missed it in 2018 when I sold my home to downsize.

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 :)

great! that is a great idea :) I will figure out how to do that.

Thank you! but this is very old. I recorded it many years ago :) My hair has grown feet since then :)

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?!!!!

thanks! it was an old haircut. I recorded this video a couple of venus retrogrades ago :)

it is from a few years ago, still long but thank you anyway :)

Thank you!!!! Many Blessings to you!!

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.

Absolutely!!

Annie Botticelli I

I wonder the same 😕

lol, I was much younger in this video. look at the date.

Truth, Stacey!! but at least people can also get good deals with the transit!!

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.

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 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!!

Hi! I definitely also talked about what TO do! and I agree it is great to focus on the energies at play, just through looking back, as a way to move more strongly forward from the review. Retrograde is a fantastic time to take stock of things involving love and money and work to strengthen weak spots and further support strong spots in each.

I was not so clear in what I wrote, was thinking about specifically this process of review, like an opportunity for a reorientation of, in the case of Venus, VALUES, that which underlies our interest in money and love, and what we attract through our values. So my 'what to do' refers to being able TO get the cosmetic surgery (for example) as a result of the reorientation... or maybe realize you don't want it. In this view the retrograde isn't a time "not" to do things, but, through looking back and reviewing, your resulting personal "update" allows decisions that are more aligned. :)

Hi :) check out my response to the same question by Spiritual healer in the strand below :)

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!❤️👍

Hi! February through mid May these energies will be present, most strong from around March 4 through April 15th :)

Thank you much :)

Hey, LA ~ don't worry! your situation is exactly the kind of romantic thing that could work out. the fact that it never became an actual relationship is fine because the romance sparked out of the retrograde and is coming back in it the shadow. if you make it official in the pre-retro shadow period that would be better than making it official closer to the retrograde but since you won't see him until October when it will be retro or really close to it, just try to take thing slow for until towards the end of December. try to not make decisions like getting engaged, moving in, getting married, etc. and also feel carefully into the sexual element of the relationship because extra caution could still be necessary there. sometimes there is information that hasn't come up yet and it could turn out to be relevant, something you wish you had known before getting closer. but you situation could still hold a good long term potential so take the time of Oct - through end of December to ASSESS this rather than making the decision about it if possible. if you can leave the arrangement flexible as you 'try it on' then you can just take it all in and make bigger decisions later on. it is a fine time for something casual and fun in general. keep in your mind if you feel drawn to do something crazy that you may not be seeing clearly. I will hold the vision with you of awesomeness :)

Thank you, Annie!! Your advice means so much to me. It's so good to hear it could be positive! It's funny he introduced himself to me back in early/mid February 2017 and I suddenly had to leave around the end of March 2017, where Venus was retrograde last year. I hope that doesn't add any negative factor to the possibility of a relationship since February 2017 might be considered the shadow time last year when I first met him. I will take your advice. Thank you, again!

I am happy to help :) and knowing about the theme with venus retro already at play only adds more positive potentials.

aktiviltd Cool! I think that is a good sign for your project!

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!

Hi, Kareyann! I am delighted for you to join me in the wonderland of astrological study! The situation you describe is so common an occurrence during venus retrograde. It is perfectly indicated for you to be reassessing a relationship as you are. It is good for you to do this with just one major thing the keep in your awareness...venus retrograde is a great time to "try on" a romantic rleationship with someone from the past who wasnt a romantic partner previously, but try to avoid COMMITTING officially to a definitive label on the relationship or taking steps like moving in together, getting engaged, or married. Have fun! Excited for you about the possibilities!

Annie Botticelli Thank You Annie! I really appreciate it. Were finally in some new Leo energy, and definitely feeling better for it! I'm sure you are as well, being a Sag... : )

lol :) i took this picture in Kauai

it could be, just keep a close eye on them to look for signs of going back up instead of the other way around and don't put more into them than you are ok losing, just in case ;)

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 KZfaq and it should come up.

in 2018 mercury is retrograde right after venus goes direct. I am holding off on bigger things until the end of December

Hey, Kitty! I personally wouldn't do that procedure in Venus retrograde but maybe it will be just fine! Hold positive outcomes in your mind. I will hold the vision with you :)

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

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 :)

Hi, Vanessa - I wouldn't say every relationship started under this transit is cursed! there is always the possibility that something that supersedes the transit in importance occurred in your personal charts. The best thing is to not worry about it and enjoy your new love!

hey, Iris! see my facebook answer to this question of yours. great question!

I see you didn't hear the message somehow! please read the blog version so it is easier to not miss the important details relevant to your comment. www.anniehelpsyou.com/blog/item/59-venus-retrograde-do-s-don-ts

Hey, Tanya ~ Are you wanting to buy another house or rent? besides Venus retro, Mercury retro will be in affect towards the middle of March (in shadow) and early April (the actual transit) - both retrogrades will have affects until the middle-3rd week of May. Both of these transits bring more short-term energy but if you start looking into May then you have part of that month, June and part of July to find and lock in a new place without the influence of personal planet retrogrades. by the way, do you know about St. Joseph and selling real estate? I had a real estate business for 10 years and I used St. Joseph statues/prayers and felt like it helped. Check it out here....www.amazon.com/Saint-Joseph-Home-Seller-Statue/dp/B002PHYF52 I will be holding the vision with you for perfect timing for your new chapter!

Me too!

if it is something you have been doing then it could carry more flow with the transit. things that are a continuation of what you have been doing are usually supported, especially if you have the same place you are doing it. the retro could be bringing you 'back to' your treatments.

I went yesterday and I love the work that was done!!

Hi, Sirina :) Trying to compare one Venus retrograde to another is very complicated and would involve chart analysis but I can at least say that patterns unresolved and karma unresolved between people often continue to come up again over time until they find resolution. I have had one of my ex's show up continuously over 15 years in retrogrades still working out small pieces of our very complicated connection.There is nothing that would specifically say the outcome for you and this person who has returned this time has to be what it was last time because there is a chance that both of you have evolved since last time and may be in a better place to move forward together. As long you can use the retrograde to feel in cautiously and with great introspection, it will be fruitful regardless of what you decide at the end of it. Blessings on your journey!

@@AnnieBotticelli Thank you for this thoughtful answer! Do you do personal readings?

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 ✨

Hi ;) I would avoid any big beauty changes, even if it is officially before it goes retrograde because the energy gets stronger every day it gets closer to the official retrograde day. The shadow period starts about 6 weeks before the retrograde.
