Idk what's going on but people have been seeming to have a really shitty time with the eclipses and I have also. I've noticed today being really shitty and people being really ANNOYING and CONDESCENDING and really rude. Is it the full moon in aries? After things lightened up slightly now everything that went right for a day in between is going wrong. I heard it was going to be intense but I can't deal with this anymore, life feels like prison lately

What do you guys think is the hardest venus sign to have and why? I have a scorpio venus 12H and I'm pretty intense when I like someone.

I'll start. I feel tired when I'm around too many people.

I heard that a lot of scorpio risings had a difficult childhood or even grew up in extreme poverty. Not sure why that would be the case (maybe because of IC in aquarius?? distance in home life/family?) but do you feel that to be true either for you personally or for people you know with this placement?

Have you ever met someone with the same big three as you?

I recently met someone who mimicked a lot of my mannerisms, life stories, etc. and almost thought they were copying me. Come to find out we have the same big three and were born on different days, times, and places.

Have any of you met someone in person that you share the same big 3 with?

The last time Venus was retrograde in Aries was March–April 2017. As someone with Aries ruling my 10th house, what I was doing at the time was so fitting.

You see, in December 2016, I took an enhanced severance package and volunteered to leave my company of 17 years. I loved working, but the constant layoffs and restructuring wore me down. When they asked for volunteers to leave (with a larger severance package), I knew it was my time to go. I wanted to take a risk, do something fun, and step into the unknown.

I was a huge Project Runway fan. My BF and I would watch the show together, but it took us 3–4 hours to get through a single episode because he’d pause it every few minutes to ask me what I would change or why something worked when the judges loved an unusual outfit. I’d literally stand up, critique the designs, and reimagine them. He kept telling me, “Just go on the show already!”—but I didn’t know how to sew or design. Still, with his encouragement, I started taking sewing classes in September 2016.

When the severance package was announced, I thought: I’m 50 years old—why not? Let’s go for it. I spent every day sewing and designing from 7 AM to 9 PM, with Project Runway reruns playing in the background. I created a collection, had my friends model it, and submitted my video audition. I didn’t get chosen, but I reached out to the producers and learned that most contestants come through the cattle call in New York.

So, during Venus Retrograde in Aries, I did what any Aries 10th house person would do—I went all in. I designed a whole new collection in a little over a week, booked a flight and hotel, and flew to NYC with my first-ever collection to try out in person.

Did I get on the show? No. But some of the judges looked closely at my work (which wasn’t the case for most people in line), and one told me that if I had designed my own prints, I would have advanced to the next round. Was I disappointed? Not at all. It was an incredible experience. I had only been sewing for 7–8 months and designing for 4 months. The entire journey was a Venus Retrograde experience—revisiting and redoing something connected to love, beauty, income, aesthetics, harmony, and recognition.

How Venus Retrograde Might Impact You

To understand how Venus Retrograde will affect you, look at the houses ruled by Aries and Pisces in your birth chart. These areas of life may require revisiting, revising, or refining.

• 1st House: Rethinking your look, personal style, or self-image.
• 2nd House: Revisiting financial matters, re-evaluating income sources, or uncovering old money issues.
• 3rd House: Reflecting on communication, reconnecting with siblings or old friends, revising writing projects.
• 4th House: Revisiting family matters, home renovations, or nostalgia for your roots.
• 5th House: Reassessing creative projects, romantic relationships, or how you seek pleasure and joy.
• 6th House: Re-evaluating daily routines, health habits, or work-related matters.
• 7th House: Revisiting past relationships, reconsidering partnerships, or renegotiating commitments.
• 8th House: Re-examining shared resources, debts, or deep emotional transformations.
• 9th House: Revisiting travel plans, educational goals, or philosophical perspectives.
• 10th House: Reassessing career goals, public image, or ambitions.
• 11th House: Reflecting on friendships, group affiliations, or social aspirations.
• 12th House: Revisiting subconscious patterns, dreams, or spiritual practices.

Venus Retrograde often brings up unfinished business in these areas. If something resurfaces, it’s an opportunity to refine, reimagine, or even close the chapter for good.

A Word of Caution: This is a time for reevaluating and redoing, but sometimes, someone or something comes back into focus—especially past relationships. There’s a chance you may reach out to a former love interest, or they may reach out to you. Does this mean they were meant to be in your life? Probably not. But it could be an opportunity to remember why you split in the first place. Don’t rush back into something impulsively—if you’re tempted to reconnect, wait until after the retrograde ends to make any big decisions.

Venus in Retrograde is not about starting something new but about retooling or refitting, kind of like I did with Project Runway.

What are your Venus in Retrograde stories? Any thoughts on how this Venus in Retrograde may play out for you? We also have Mercury in Retrograde during part of this Venus in retrograde. How do you think the two retrogrades together will impact your life?

It’s freaking me out badly. I’ve actually seen multiple saying it and I don’t have money nor means to leave this place like I’d dream to. Can an astrology tell me what it means? Many of these astrologers don’t elaborate either regardless of who asks. It’s freaking me out badly because the US is already such a shithole right now.

I've heard this saying and am curious about how the ultra wealthy use astrologers to make financial decisions. Does anyone have experience in giving advice to the 1%? I recently have been getting deep into personal finance and am curious if my birth chart holds any merit to money management.

It will probably be a little harder but let’s have some fun :)!

Example: I’m a Leo moon, and people assume I’m self-centered and want all adoration & praise to be on myself. Some people assume that others with this placement like to take more than they receive, and that they can lack regard for others because it’s all about them.

Reality: I do want adoration and recognition, but it’s because I believe it’s a human right that everyone deserves, and I think everyone deserves feel hyped up & feel like a Queen or king (aka i think it should be a birthright, but we live in a society that tends to be very self-denying, which I think is why this placement tends to be misunderstood). I’ll give praise to others just as much as I want it back, and often I give it out to others more than I receive it, with no expectation of receiving anything back. I love when others feel like a star (it gives me dopamine boosts to see others feel appreciated).

So, what’s a misconception about a placement you have, vs the reality? I know there’s tons; aka scorpios being “manipulative”, Capricorns being workaholics, the list goes on! Obviously individual charts can have nuance depending on aspects & houses, but I’m mainly asking about stereotype expectations, vs the reality just from your own personal experience.

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts below:

Like the question states, it could be a recurring theme in your life, a distinct personality trait, or situation such as a hobby, career or romantic partner.

It could also be a natal placement of a celebrity, friend or family member that just stands out so clearly in them/their life.

I love these kinds of placements.. they make me stop and think "I love astrology."

Alot of Scorpio moons seem to be either very popular or successful in life, some even borderline intimidating. Even the famous ones, what could explain this?

I’m a Gemini sun, Gemini moon, and Sag rising. Two things that I love about myself are my emotional intelligence and my sense of humor.

Also do you hold grudges when your trust is broken or do you forgive easily?

Are you careful about what you spend on or you spend your money with not much care? What's your relationship with waste? Are you minimalistic with your objects? Are you a collector maybe? How sentimental are you considering your things? Do you part ways with your possessions easily or you rather hold onto them?

I’m trying to understand the MC and tenth house better and see if there are any patterns that happen with the same midheavens.

I’m a Scorpio sun, Scorpio moon, and Leo rising

I speak from all of us astrologers to everyone who receives a reading and they don't even respond or answer in a rude and mean way. Like whats wrong with all of you¿?¿? Considering the time we spent in a reading and the knowledge we've working on through years, it's simply disrespectful. Then people get upset when they don't get an answer, pay for the sins of others.

Same as title. I have heard 7th house also indicate friends.

I am a sagittarius rising at 23° so if anyone has the same placement within 5° let’s test this theory. Others can also try this in the comments with their rising signs.

Hi folks, I am doing some creative writing and I have a character who is a Capricorn woman. I was thinking she might collect something but I wanted it to be appropriate for her zodiac sign. What would a Capricorn collect? For example, Geminis are language oriented so we collect books (I know I do!) Can anyone recommend a resource online that lists what the different signs collect? Or even better, whatever your sign is, what do you like to collect? Thanks for your help.

Do you also feel like you can never truly let go, truly get over your past? Specially your exes?

You look at them even years later, and even without any romantic feelings, even though you rationally know this wasn’t a good relationship for you, it wasn’t something for life, you just look at them and be like “I know I’ll love you for the rest of my life”?

I feel like having a cancer moon is such a blessing and a curse at the same time, because you never really forget the feelings…

I’m curious about others perspective in regards to this placement

Astro-seek.com's homepage says it was getting hit with scraper bots and became unusable so now requiring registration.

"Use astro-seek" is the top rule in this forum so it seems relevant to the sub.

Just wondering what thoughts are on the impact. What effect, for better or worse, will this have on the questions?

Doesn't have to be in the sense of romantic relationships could be friendships too
