Lord Venus is retrograde in Pisces from 06 Mar 09 to 18 Apr 09

March 06, 2009 at 22:48 Venus moves retrograde at 15 degrees of Aries moving direct April 18th, 2009 at 00:55 at 29 Degrees of Pisces.

The retrograde motion of an inner planet is an apparent phenomenon as viewed from earth in which Venus appears to move backwards in the sky. Every 1 ½ years, when Venus moves approximately 29 degrees ahead of the Sun (in the astrological ephemeris), it will begin to move backwards in the sky until it reaches a point approximately 21 to 29 degrees behind the Sun.

This Venus Retrograde will for sure move us from passion and impulsive bravery into the wonderful land of imagination and what could be.

In general, Venus, the goddess of love, rules feelings and emotion, aesthetics and tastes, relationships, fashions and all forms of desire, money and wealth. Venus rules social attitudes and behaviour, along with aesthetic tastes and inclinations. Venus symbolises female relationships and social interactions at every level. Venus indicates our values. She governs romance, marriage and other partnerships, capacity for humour, and the pursuit of pleasure.

During a retrograde period the things Venus influences will be less apparent, or be of less concern to the world. Visual sensibilities are reduced. People dress with less flair and our colour sense tends to be muted. This is not the time to purchase clothes or jewellery, change one’s make-up or hairstyle. Redecorating or refurbishing homes or business should also be avoided, though there is no reason why decisions that have been made earlier should not be allowed to come to fruition during this period.
With Venus retrograde, the pace of relationships slows down, so this is not the best time to get married or give big parties. Since Venus rules diplomacy, slowdowns in all sorts of negotiations can be expected, including industrial disputes, legal issues and diplomatic endeavours. Unresolved issues from the past will come forward and demand resolution.

It is a time when we are called upon to go back and take care of unfinished business. Often we are forced to deal with deep feelings that have their origins in past events. They are activated on an inner level but are often difficult to express to ourselves or others while Venus is retrograde.

When Venus is retrograde, it provides lessons in evaluating the real worth and value of people and things in our life (Taurus-Libra issues). With existing relationships, this cycle produces experiences wherein it is easier to discern the relative worth and value of these people in your life.

Discrimination is more effective. You become readily aware of any problems, differences or unresolved issues. It is NOT a time, however, to act upon any unfavourable awareness. It is purely a time of evaluation rather than direct action. As little frictions and disagreements crop up, they serve to remind you that the relationship is not perfect. Under the retrograde influence, you must assess the severity of the problem and the “cost-benefit” of the relationship. Only after Venus turns direct should you initiate any alienation if this is deemed necessary.

Where there are existing difficulties in a relationship, the retrograde Venus period offers an opportunity for reconciliation. People are often feeling unloved, unappreciated and disappointed while Venus is retrograde. They feel that they should be getting more out of their relationships. This is particularly true when Venus transits the 7th and 12th Houses. When a person is in a mood that makes them feel that nobody cares, it is an excellent time to make a “hat-in-hand” apology to restore a relationship with someone who is hurt. Any sincere apology will be graciously received.

Being the natural ruler of the 2nd House, Venus has dominion over certain financial affairs. This is NOT a good time for investing or starting new financial activities. The value of the product or commodity is often inflated or over-valued so that losses will occur when Venus turns direct.

While Venus is retrograde, it is not a time to purchase any so-called luxury items. You will be motivated by impractical considerations so that, what looks gorgeous in the store, may turn out to be the ugliest thing you have ever seen once Venus turns direct! The inclination is to purchase items that you will not like and you cannot return. No discussion of Venus retrograde would be complete without mentioning my redheaded friend who bought a purple coat (on sale – could not be returned) while Venus was retrograde. Another man signed a lease on an apartment with a gorgeous sunken living room. So enamoured of its beauty was this man that he did not consider the long-term financial strain. This retrograde does have excellent financial benefits if you know how to use them. First, because people are motivated by impractical considerations in making purchases, it is the perfect time to unload something that no one would buy except when Venus is retrograde. Someone is sure to see its inner beauty and feel that they cannot live without it. They may regret it later but that is not your problem. Working with the inflated value of this Venus transit makes this an excellent time to unload stocks, real estate and unwanted items. Then, use the money gained to pay off debts.

Venus retrograde is an excellent time for buying antiques, flea market items and second-hand goods wherein you know the real worth and value of the item but the seller does not.

Years ago when I first studied astrology, I warned my parents about spending excessively on an antiquing trip when Venus was retrograde. To my surprise, they came back with the best bargains! They discovered many valuable antiques with very low prices because the seller did not know their value. Purchasing real estate is not always a problem with Venus retrograde. If you know that the property is a bargain, you can make an excellent deal. Discrimination is essential. Do not be motivated by a flashy appearance.

Venus retrograde is a favourable time for re-negotiating a financial situation such as a contract or bank loan. It can be helpful in resolving a long-standing legal matter. When Venus is station (around the retrograde/direct dates), it is a good time to change lawyers.

This is a time to reflect on the inner value of your experiences rather than outer display. Material rewards may be delayed and material or possessions that you expect to acquire may not manifest. A luxury item purchased may not please you in the long run. Relationships started now will be associated with inhibitions – clandestine or possibly more spiritual. Something may be withheld and, if so, someone will be disappointed. Existing relationships may be up for review. Outer assurances and displays of love and affection are not readily evident. Old friends and lost loves may be contacted for a second look.

In this article, I have tried to give you full real effect of retrograde Venus. I hope you have enjoyed it. Please do not forget to send me your experience to Kundlee, so Kundlee can become more precious and useful to society.

Ideology of Numerology

Numerology is a science of exploring hidden powers of numbers and their influence on human beings.

Indians see numbers as symbols of certain types of cosmic powers. And they link them with spirituality. For example 0 is a number that encircles some part of the infinite universe. The inner part of it is separated from the vast outer space. This is similar to human body where the soul (Jeevatma) resides. A human being always feels that he is separate and the outer universe is different from him. He confines his soul with his present body and thinks that he and the body is one and the same. Thus he has forgotten the truth that he is the all-pervading God. This is called cosmic delusion (Maaya). So 0 represents the cosmic delusion. This means 0 gives false impression that whatever is not there, is there. Let us add 0 after 1, then that 1 appears as 10. This means 1 is assuming a different form, because of 0. This is same as the super-soul appearing in different forms because of Maaya.

Every number will have mental and spiritual plane represented by its top half part and the material worldly affairs are represented by its remaining bottom part.

When we connect a series of points in a single direction, then it becomes 1. Thus 1 represents single-mindedness in achieving the objectives, creativity, and starting new ventures. Its pillored appearance represents independence and leadership qualities.

2 is round shaped at top. It is a open 0. That means there is no complete Maaya at mental level. There is a scope to receive and release new ideas and concepts. So 2 represent flexibility and diplomacy. The bottom of 2 shows a horizontal line that is attached firmly to ground. This means if these inventive ideas are properly used, the person can achieve highest success in material world.

Take 3, it is having open rounded ends at its top as well as at bottom. This shows continuous receiving and releasing of new ideas and involving into new developments. It represents ambition, self-expression and idealism. This number makes a person to reap material benefits from his intelligence and spiritualism.

Just close the rounded ends of 3, you will get 8. It represents Maaya at both the levels. The person is wrapped by complete ignorance of what is happening outside his perception. He cannot come out of the clutches of karmic forces. The balanced loops of 8 represent balanced nature, patience and discipline.

Contemplate on 4, it is looking like a person sitting stable, attached to ground. The triangle above represents fire that promotes a strong desire for material benefits. The person will become materialistic. 4 may also represent unconventional behaviour.

5 is a quiet different number, with flat head and open rounded bottom. Flatness represents stability. The person would reach a clear and stable mental state which he uses in receiving and processing the material in worldly projects. 5 is a sign of dynamism and communication. This number makes one a successful business man.

7 is having similarity with 5, in such a way it is having a flat head and weak base. 7 indicates high level of spiritualism and sensitivity. But the person will not use his mental and spiritual stability to achieve material means.

6 is a number that is fully rounded at the bottom. It looks like a pregnant lady. It symbolises pregnancy, artistic and feminine qualities. The 0 formation at bottom indicates Maaya that pushes the person in love with family- related matters and enjoyment.

9 is a number that is nothing but inverted 6. It represents love to the world. The 0 formation at top, overshadows a person’s intelligence with Maaya. The person cannot think but work. So there is a conflict. He would be quick in actions and courageous.

While the numbers have the above significance, each number has been attached to a particular planet in Astrology, the reason is: certain planet produces the similar vibration of a certain number. Thus 1- Sun, 2- Moon, 3- Jupiter, 4- Uranus or Rahu, 5- Mercury, 6- Venus, 7- Neptune or Kethu, 8- Saturn, and 9- Mars. Number 0 should not be attached to any planet, since it is the root cause of all the numbers. It increases the strength of a number.

The numbers have been attached to Alphabet also.
1- A,I,J,Q,Y.
2- B,K,R.
3- C,G,L,S.
4- D,M,T.
5- E,H,N,X.
6- U,V,W.
7- O,Z.
8- F,P.

Now let us take an illustration. SWAMI VIVEKANANDA, a great saint of India, who shook the world by his philosophical teachings, was born on 12th January 1863.

His birth date number: 12 = 3.
His birth compound number: 12+1+1863 = 22.
His birth single number: 2+2 = 4.
His name single number: SWAMI VIVEKANANDA = 52 = 7.

Vivekananda’s birth date number 3 and name number 7 represent that he is ambitious, versatile and a spiritual guru. His ambitions are more focussed on service to poor and downtrodden as is shown by 4 in his birth single number. He had unconventional and revolutionary ideas in reforming the society. His birth compound number 22 shows that he is highly religious and inclined in purification of mind and soul. Moreover, his birth single number and name numbers 4 and 7 are harmonious, thus making him a renowned person. Let us take only VIVEKANANDA= 37 which clearly shows that he is a spiritual guru. And 3+7 = 1 shows beginning of new ventures which is an indication of his great mission to bring moral and spiritual upliftment. So we can say that Vivekananda’s life would be greatly influenced by numbers 3 and 7 and their harmonics 9 and 2. In his case, 2 represent deep involvement in mental faculties like meditation and mantra japa.

1. He met his guru Sri Rama Krishna in 1881 = 9 (His age: 18 = 9)
2. He started his journey in search of truth in 1890 = 9 (His age: 27 = 9)
3. He reached Kanya Kumari and visualized Divine Mother in 1892 = 2 (His age: 29 = 2)
4. He participated in the Parliament of religions in Chicago in 1893 = 3 (His age: 30 = 3)
5. He came back to India and started Rama Krishan Mission Association in 1897 = 7 (His age:
34 = 7)
6. The saint left his body in 1902 = 3 (His age: 39 = 3).

Who will become Rich?

There is no doubt a person will become rich if he has:

1) Will to set goals
2) Intelligent planning to reach the goal
3) Hard working nature to execute the plan

But these are not enough to become rich. There is one more element that is luck. We can find thousands of people with the above mentioned qualities, yet lagging behind in life. The reason is lack of luck. What is luck? It is the effect of good deeds done previously either in this life or in previous birth.

How can we astrologically judge a person has sufficient luck to become rich? First of all, the person should have potentiality to set goals for himself. This can be judged from Ascendant and Ascendant lord. Next, the person should be intelligent enough to carry out the planning. This can be found from 5th house, and its lord. The place of wealth is 2nd house and its lord is giver of wealth. Finally, whether we gain profits and amass wealth is indicated by 11th house and its lord. For all these things to happen, we need luck. This is adjudged from 9th house and its lord.

So then what are the important astrological combinations which make a man rich?

1. Relation between Ascendant and 11th lords, either by combination or by aspects. This is called ‘Lakshmi Yoga’ by Indian astrologers, which is a symbol of a rich man.
2. Relation between 5th and 9th lords. If they are strong and in benefice places the person will be more wealthy.
3. Relation between 2nd lord and 11th lord by way of aspects or combination. If they are placed in quadrants or trines or in exaltation, the person will be equal to ‘Kubera’, the god of wealth.
4. Relation between 5th, 9th and 11th lords or Bhava.
For example, the above all combinations can be seen in the world’s richest person: Bill Gates horoscope.
5. Ascendant, 2nd and 11th houses are aspected respectively by their owners or occupied by their owners.
6. Ascendant lord having relation with 2nd and 9th lords.
For example the above two combinations can be seen in RockFeller’s horoscope.
7. Ascendant in 2nd house, 2nd lord in 11th house, and 11th lord in 2nd house – is called Dhana Yoga, means a good combination for wealth.
8. Ascendant lord and 2nd lord exchange their places.
9. 9th and 10th lords combine either in 9th house or 10th house.
10. 9th lord and 11th lords exchange their houses.
11. Benefice in quadrants and trines, where as malefic in 3-6-11 houses is said to make a person a king.
12. Ascendant or Ascendant lord is aspected by several benefice.

These are only some of the important combinations mentioned in standard texts. There are other combinations. But any how the places 1-5-9-11 and their lords greatly influence a person to acquire wealth. For example, in the horoscope of Indian Steel king and one of the richest people in the world, JRD Tata, we can find the following combinations:

§ 5th and 9th houses are aspected by Jupiter, the most benefice planet.
§ 5th , 9th and 11th lords in quadrants.
§ 2nd and 11th lords have mutual aspects.
§ 2nd and 5th lords combine.
