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

In this episode, I'm going to be giving my third and final installment in my series on Venus retrograde stories in the news that have been happening over the past several months.

So I did a whole episode on Venus retrograde and Ares and that repeating cycle every eight years that I recorded

back on January 10th, 2025, just earlier this year, about six months ago at this point. And I did that

with my friend Nick Diggins Best. And in that episode, we went back and looked at a bunch of

instances when Venus went retrograde

in Ares, just like it did this year, and how every eight years going back over the past century,

when Venus went retrograde in Ares, we noted important news events that happened, and we

noted important repetitions that took place.

So over the past six months, a bunch of interesting repetitions have come up again that have tied the current time period into periods in the past in eight-year increments.

And ever since we recorded that episode on January 10th, I've done two other installments

where I've noted important news stories that have come up,

especially ones that represented repetitions of stories that we covered in the original episode.

And now that Venus has finally departed from the sign it went retrograde in, which was Ares, earlier in June, the retrograde, the extended retrograde period is now officially complete.

So I wanted to do one last installment to talk about some Venus retrograde repetitions that came up in the news since the

last time I did one of these episodes about two months ago. So the first news episode, Venus

retrograde and repetitions in the news, was episode 477 and I released that on February 7th. And then the second one, the last one I did,

was part two, and that was released on April 27th. It was episode 487 that was titled Venus Retrograde

in the News Part 2. So this is the third and final one. I'm recording this on Saturday, June 21st, 2025, starting at, I started at about 3.10 p.m. here in Denver, Colorado.

So I want to share some additional stories that I found, but I also want to give some summary explanations of some different things that I learned from studying

this Venus retrograde cycle over the course of the past six months, starting in December

and January when Nick and I did that research.
