RETROGR ADE
Introduction
by
T
Maurice Fernandez
he theme of this
Career Astrologer’s
edition is VENUS
RETROGRADE, in antici-
pation of the upcoming
Retrograde of Venus from
Virgo to Leo (July 24 –
September 6).
Venus will begin its retrograde
motion on July 24, @ 0 Virgo 46, on the
Fixed Royal Star Regulus. It will retro-
grade back to Leo, to meet with Jupiter
at 28 Leo. Venus will subsequently
make its inferior conjunction to the Sun
on August 15 at 22 Leo, and then trine
Uranus on August 18 at 20 Aries. She
will station at 14 Leo, shortly after an
exact conjunction with Mars in Leo.
This cycle will be particularly power-
ful since Venus happens to be the ruler
of the transiting North Node in Libra.
See selected charts at left for import-
ant points along this transit.
