Frequently Asked Questions
When Venus retrograde in 2029?
16.12 – 26.01 – Eastern Time, to the minute.
What to watch for during Venus retrograde?
Better to leave yourself margin for what comes next: anything irreversible to your appearance: the new-life haircut, a tattoo, surgery; starting a romance where everything is "too perfect"; big purchases made for beauty – taste is skewed these weeks; a wedding or engagement, if the date can move.
What is the shadow period?
A planet first covers a stretch of zodiac going forward, then comes back over it, then crosses it a third time. The first and third passes are the shadow. The theme starts showing during the shadow and finishes after it.
Why is the date a day off on another site?
A station happens at a specific minute. If that minute falls at night, it can already be the next day in Eastern Time while in UT it is still the day before. We show Eastern Time, and the calendar tables have a time zone switch.
The wheel uses the tropical zodiac, 0° Aries on the left, signs running counterclockwise. The lines in the middle are the exact angles between planets at that moment.
