Venus’s Cycle of Transformation | Print |
from Joni's book - Eastern Astrology for Western Minds

Venus goes retrograde the least amount of time of any planet. Every 18 months it will be retrograde for 42 days but will stay in the same sign for four months. When Venus retrogrades, reflect back to the last retrograde and see if your values have changed over the intervening 18 months. Venus will retrograde eight signs away from its previous retrograde sign, indicating the need to change and transform our previous values. A pentagon is formed with five cycles of Venus retrograde.

Retrograde Planets and Stations | Print |
from Joni's book - Eastern Astrology for Western Minds

The Cyclic Process of Transformation
Retrograde planets are about the relationship of the planets with the Sun and Earth. Planets as they travel around the Sun line up to the earth and either pass up the earth or the earth may pass the planet. It is not a matter of their actual speed or travel, but the rate that they change their angular relationship. In this event it appears as though the planet is going backward in its orbit from our perspective. A line up can happen (Mercury and Venus) when the planet is inside the Earth and Sun (inferior conjunction) or when the planet is on the other side of the Sun from Earth (superior conjunction). The inferior conjunction will always be retrograde, and with the superior conjunction the planet is always traveling in forward motion behind the Sun from earth’s visual viewpoint. It will be at its furthest point from the earth at the superior conjunction and the closest point to the Earth in the inferior conjunction.

from Joni's book - Eastern Astrology for Western Minds

Vedic astrology gives means to heal the karmas of the soul by looking specifically at the planets that are troubled in a chart.

Personal Experiences
I have prescribed a moonstone for the Moon that have changed the emotional body from torment to peace. It may not have changed the situation, but it did change how my client viewed the situation. I witnessed an emerald for Mercury bring a publishing contract the first day it was worn.
