Hey, my name is Chris Brennan and you're listening to the Astrology podcast. In this episode,

I'm going to be talking with a group of patrons about their birth charts, and we're going to

review some of the recent transits of Venus retrograde, Mars retrograde, and the eclipse season

that we just got out of last month to talk about how some of these transits have showed up in

different people's lives and what sort of things they've coincided with

based on where those transits fell in different people's birth charts.

So I've talked extensively about the Venus retrograde over the past few months and how that started in Ares at the beginning of March and then retrograded back to Pisces.

And it's actually stationing direct today because we're recording this on Saturday, April 12th, 2025, starting at 3.48 p.m. in Denver, Colorado.

So today is officially the day of Venus technically ending its retrograde station,

which is its 40 days of backwards movement through the signs of the zodiac. We're still going to have

a ways to go before Venus leaves its post-retrograde shadow and departs from Pisces and then eventually

passes the shadow degree at 10 degrees of Ares next month, I believe, in either in late

April or early May and then eventually departs from Ares for the final time, I think, in early June.

So some of the things with the retrograde are still

going to be wrapping up. But it's still a good time since we're on the day of Venus's actual

station to actually check in because I think most people should already see and have experienced

some of the main themes that this transit's all about

at this point, and they should be able to talk about how that's been impacting their life

in different ways.

Additionally, same thing with the Mars retrograde.

So Mars first went into cancer last September, and that was when it entered into the sign that it would later

retrograde back to then it stationed retrograde in early Leo in December retrograded
