Libra's ruling planet that rules beauty, socializing and material possessions..which is Venus went into retrograde as of October 8th at 13 Scorpio until November 18th, 2010 at 27 Libra. Then on December 20, Venus returns to 13 Scorpio and will be out of the shadow (we have been feeling the effects since September 5 since we have been in the shadow). Venus rules anything having to do with popularity, partnership, financial or material well being and self worth. And all of these issues will be in a "weaker" state during this time, as well as examined. Do not be surprised if you are afraid that your reputation could be easily ruined, or you begin to fear the security of your job more, or perhaps question your own values and what you can contribute to others. And since Venus is in retrograde in Scorpio, it will bring out issues in regards to power, intense emotions as well as competition. There will be a lot of emotions of jealousy during this time. It won't only involve relationships but you could be finding yourself jealous of your neighbor who you perceive as having something "more" than you. This could happen even to those who are not normally jealous people. Don't be surprised if the green-eyed monster shows up more often during this time. Sexual tendencies will also be increased at this time, and health issues could arise. People overall will be obsessive and not in the best mood. There will be issues of control as well, especially when it comes to relationships. However, where ever in our natal charts Venus is transiting, these areas will be felt the most.
If you have Venus transiting through your 7th house, house of relationships, you can imagine how the retrograde is going to affect your AND your partner! Lots of questioning in regards to your relationships will rise up during this time if this is the case. If you have Venus retrograding through your 12th house, house of karma and "self undoing", you will find out easily if you have hurt some others in the past. They will come back to you reminding of you of your actions towards them, and you will be forced to balance the karma by making it up to them somehow. Usually this occurs through dreams or hidden messages. Or if Venus happens to be transiting through your 11th house, house of friendships, hopes, wishes and community. And happens to be trining or sextiling Venus, Jupiter or Saturn, an apology could be coming towards your way by someone who had once caused you some kind of discomfort.
There will be a lot of discomfort in regards to your relationships and material security goes during this time. But the message that Venus in retrograde brings out to you is to do some inner healing work, and work on letting go of past wounds. If something went wrong in the past and the reason it went wrong was due to your actions, this will be the time to fix the issues up and make things right. Once Venus goes direct, after doing some work within, you will be ready to implement what you have learned during this time AND to let go of old baggage. Those who have a Sun, Moon or Ascendant in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius (and Libra) will feel the effects the most. And yes, it will be an uncomfortable 6 weeks, but quite valuable. And it already has been.... because I am starting to wonder about some current friendships I am having, and this is certainly the right time to question it.

LOL this is a great time to do that! So yeah it's also hard during this time but the annoying technical stuff won't happen too much thankfully!
