0:00.0 | Hey, my name is Chris Brennan and you're listening to The Astrology podcast. |
0:03.6 | In this episode, I'm going to be talking about the recent Venus and Mars retrograde periods that are coming to an end at this point and doing a retrospective on how those worked out by talking to some patrons of the astrology podcast as well as some students of my Hellenistic astrology course in order to share some stories about the specific ways that these transits unfolded over the course of the past several months. |
0:29.6 | All right. So the premise of this episode and the reason that I'm doing that this is it's now June of what 2025 it's June 7th 2025 in the past few days |
0:42.9 | Venus has finally departed from Taurus so that it's finally left the sign that it originally went |
0:49.4 | retrograde in which was Aries ending a several month-month retrograde period, and additionally, Mars next week, is getting ready to move into Virgo. |
1:00.8 | And once it departs from Leo, it's going to leave the sign that it originally went retrograde in back in December. |
1:08.4 | So part of the reason I'm doing this episode is something I mentioned on the |
1:14.1 | forecast episode, which is that I have a unique definition and perspective on, especially |
1:23.2 | Venus and Mars retrograde periods that I developed over the course of the past, I don't know, |
1:29.4 | 10 or 20 years of doing astrology. |
1:32.6 | And part of it comes from integrating some Hellenistic techniques, like basic concepts like |
1:38.4 | whole sign houses, as well as whole sign aspects, in addition to degree-based aspects and paying attention to the degrees of the angles. |
1:49.5 | And one of the things that I realized over the years is that Venus and Mars retrograde periods are not just restricted to the time periods in which the planets actually slow down |
2:06.4 | and station retrograde and start moving backwards in the order of signs and in the order of degrees. |
2:13.2 | But so that at its most strict sense is the Venus and Mars retrograde periods, is those periods |
2:19.2 | in time where they're moving backwards through the zodiac rather than forwards. |
2:23.2 | But what I realized over the years, many years of watching this in the charts of clients and |
2:28.0 | celebrities and my personal charts is that the retrograde, in addition to being experienced is that period of time, |
2:37.2 | that anomalous period of time when those two planets are moving backwards and against the |
2:43.2 | order of the zodiac and against the order in which all the other planets normally move, |
2:49.6 | it's not just that, but it's also a period where those |
2:54.6 | two planets or each planet that's retrograde spends an extended period of time in one or two |
