Battle of psychics Marilyn Kerro. Psychic Alexander Sheps: reviews of the appointment, how to get an appointment
Venus is the planet of love and finance. When it begins to move back in the sky, problems begin for the majority of those living on Earth in these very areas. Retrograde or retrograde Venus- This astronomical phenomenon when it seems to an observer of the movement of planets in the sky that the planet has changed its direction and is moving in reverse direction. However, in reality this is not the case, the planet cannot change its movement, but due to an optical illusion, the inhabitants of planet Earth can see precisely this feature of the planet, such as reverse movement. And during these periods, the energies of the planet reach us distortedly, as a result, many people do not feel love, do not feel the “taste of life,” and also have problems with finances that seem strange at first glance, which they did not have before.
Venus retrograde in 2017 will mainly be located in the sign of Aries and a small part of the time - in the sign Pisces. What this will give us, we’ll talk a little lower in the article.
Stationary Venus period (stop before turning): from March 2 to March 5, 2017 and from April 12 to April 17, 2017
The period of the active retrograde phase of Venus in 2017 : from March 5 to April 12.
During the period of stationary Venus, it is not recommended to take any actions aimed at implementing the theme of the planet: you should not change your appearance, make any purchases of clothes, change your hairstyle, carry out any procedures designed to make you more attractive (attractive). Also, at this time it is not recommended to make investments with the aim of making a profit. However, you can make attachments to save material value(so that money, for example, does not depreciate). Also, during the Venus retro period, you can not be afraid to carry out cosmetic manipulations, because they will not bring any effect. But it is not recommended to undergo operations, serious procedures from which you expect significant changes in your appearance.
The period of Venus retrograde is, first of all, a time when the topic of personal life will come to the fore for many people. Considering that Venus will be in the sign of her exile, in Aries, she will feel extremely uncomfortable. That is, the main reasons for disagreements in couples will not be such a manifestation of emotions, lack of warmth, care, attention, manifestation of some kind of participation in each other’s lives, and of course, problems of a sexual nature and jealousy. It is jealousy that will become the key driver of problems in many relationships, as a result of the lack of harmony in the relationship.
If you notice that something has begun to happen wrong in your couple, if something still suits you, if you lack passion or, on the contrary, there is too much of it, do not rush to sort things out. Most likely, this influence of Venus creates a similar effect of lack of love and warmth, when you simply cannot feel its energy, although it is present in your field. You should take a closer look at yourself, analyze your own actions, and try to take a step towards meeting your soulmate yourself, and not try to create scenes of jealousy.
Quarrels and breakups during Venus retrograde mostly lead to reconciliation, but through a stormy showdown. Since in 2017 Venus retrograde will unfold into its usual movement in the sign of its strength, in Pisces, it is safe to say that most of those who feel a lack of love at the beginning of the Venus retrograde period will find this lost feeling at the end of the period, and will be able to restore lost harmony.
Make any drastic changes in appearance: new hairstyle, image, piercing, tattoo;
- buy expensive clothes and jewelry, invest money in things;
- start new acquaintances (most likely, you will step on the same rake that happened in your previous relationship);
- perform plastic and cosmetic interventions;
- break off the relationship (make peace anyway);
- invest money in new projects;
- enter into new partnership agreements (especially key ones for business);
- enter into marriages;
- go on a diet, improve your appearance (lost kilograms will return very quickly and may bring “friends” with them).
Considering that Venus will be in the sign of Aries, the sign of its exile, most of the time (until April 3), then during March 2017 there is a high probability that many women will want to radically change their appearance. Even beautiful women can succumb to general panic and begin to pay more attention than usual to their appearance. But in best case scenario– efforts will be ineffective, and at worst, they can cause harm. Therefore, from an astrological point of view, I do not recommend starting any activities this spring (until April 17 inclusive) aimed at improving your appearance.
Favorable during Venus retrograde:
Do repeated cosmetic or plastic surgery(correct mistakes);
- return or renew relationships (even those that were many years ago);
- return to external image that you once had (hairstyle like you had when you were 20, for example);
- repay loans, repay loans (by doing this you correct your financial channel).
- take repeated courses aimed at improving appearance.
These recommendations will be true for most people. But there is a small percentage of those who have Venus retrograde in their natal charts. These lucky ones can use the Venus retrograde period (not stationary) to make breakthroughs in the topics of relationships, finances and beauty. They can carry out various procedures aimed at improving appearance, and begin any rejuvenation courses. Changing your image and updating your wardrobe will even be favorable. New acquaintances and even marriage will also be successful for them. Financial questions during this period will also be easily resolved (provided there are no negative factors in your natal chart).

Remember that Venus retrograde affects everyone. Therefore, try to be softer, more understanding, and more sympathetic towards other people. Give more warmth to other people without expecting any response. And then the period of “lack of love” will pass more harmoniously for you. Love and prosperity to you!
Venus is the planet of love and finance, it characterizes everything related to beauty, art and partnership. Already on March 2, 2017, Venus will be stationary, i.e. from the point of view of an observer on Earth, will stop in its movement across the sky.
The period of stationary Venus before the retro phase of its movement will continue from March 2 to March 5, 2017. Of course, this is just an optical illusion, and the planets never stop in their orbital motion, nor do they move backwards.
However, this stopping of the planet, visible to an observer from the Earth, has in astrology great importance and serves as an important preparatory stage to the transition of the planet into retrograde motion.
When Venus begins to move retrograde, most people experience some difficulties in the areas for which it is responsible. The fact is that during periods of planetary retrograde, their energy reaches a person distorted.
What difficulties will Venus retrograde bring in 2017?
The retro phase will begin in the sign of the expulsion of Venus - at 14° Aries, where the energy of the planet is initially weakened and feels wounded. This circumstance, as well as the nature of the planet, leads to the fact that retrograde Venus in 2017 brings the topic of personal life to the fore.
You should expect problems of a sexual nature, cooling of feelings and outbursts of jealousy towards your partner, a feeling of lack of care, harmony in your personal life. It is jealousy that will cause many problems: scandals and quarrels out of nowhere, the desire to break off relationships, slam the door and leave without looking back.
Confusing situations will arise in matters for which the winding planet is responsible, people from the past will appear in the field of view, a person suddenly begins to rethink his life.
However, he who is forewarned is forearmed. After all, even from the retrograde position of Venus, you can get the maximum benefit if you know what to pay attention to and what to refuse.
So, the period of Venus retrograde in 2017 is the best time for:
- resumption of old relationships, reconciliation with former lovers.
- To return old projects, to conclude deals that were once postponed.
- To return old debts.
- To restore the previous parameters of a figure using proper nutrition and playing sports.
What should you not do on retro Venus?
- It is strictly not recommended to perform plastic surgery - the result can not only be extremely disappointing, but also cause irreparable harm to health!
- Falling in love, getting married, getting married and formalizing a relationship, including announcing an engagement - unfortunately, statistics say that relationships that began on retro Venus very often turn out to be fragile.
- If circumstances are such that a new love relationship began precisely during the retro period of Venus in 2017, test it with time. There is a high probability that after the planet returns to direct motion, you will see both the relationship itself and the object of love in a new way.
- You should not buy expensive things, jewelry, or undertake interior renovations or renovations. The reason is the same - it is possible that you will regret these expenses when the retrograde Venus in 2017 turns into a normal movement, and the new clothes seem tasteless and inappropriate to you.
Given that Venus retrograde in 2017 is associated with the sign of Aries, the planet's place of exile, it is especially important to be patient. Don't cut your shoulders, slam the door. It is best to postpone making a final decision until Venus exits the retro phase. By the way, this period in itself is conducive to reflection, so it is better to spend time profitably, once again carefully think and weigh everything.
Venus square Saturn - a test of endurance and faith
Most difficult period retro-Venus 2017 – her aspect squared from 27 degrees Pisces with stationary Saturn in Sagittarius. The peak of this unpleasant aspect occurs on April 9, but the effect will be felt for 2-3 weeks after this date - after all, it coincides with the turn of Venus into direct motion.
The retrograde movement will end on April 12, 2017 at 27° Pisces. The planet will remain at this degree until April 17, after which it will return to its direct motion.
This aspect gives depression, alienation, and leads to a painful break in relationships. It is very important right now to show patience and endurance, and remember that these tests are the last test of the strength of the relationships that you value before a new stage in life.
How will this square affect you and me? People with the Sun in Libra, Aries, Pisces and Sagittarius will be the most sensitive to it. What will this difficult period of Venus retrograde 2017 be like, and the forecast for the development of relationships depends on which sensitive points of your personal horoscope will be influenced by transit Venus and Saturn.

MARCH 2017
It will happen again in early March Jupiter-Uranus opposition which took place at the end December, foreshadowing some very tragic events. Any aspect with the participation of Uranus indicates the unexpectedness of the events taking place, and negative aspects indicate that these events are of a negative and even destructive nature.
The events that took place at the moment when the aspect was lined up for the first time (in December) will continue to develop in March, and finally, for the third time, Uranus and Jupiter will be in opposition already in end of September 2017, when past events can make themselves felt again.
At the end of the month Jupiter will be in negative aspect to Pluto. This is another rather strong destructive aspect that will bring change, transformation and new experience. This aspect may indicate the destruction of old foundations and principles.
Another important event in March can be called Venus turns retrograde. Moreover, her placement in the sign of Aries will make her very weak, so any matters related to Venus will not be handled properly. We especially do not recommend getting married in the next month.
A little later this month they will also be in Aries Sun and Mercury, so the month promises to be quite active. In March, you will be able to observe the first stellium (cluster of planets) of the year in the sign of Aries, where 5 planets will gather.

This is a period when tension and anxiety reign around. In addition, before leaving the sign, Mars will have time to do negative aspect with Uranus, and this can give rise to quite unpredictable, out-of-the-ordinary events.
Another slow planet will change sign in December - Saturn, and from a rather weak point for him - Sagittarius– to strong Capricorn.

From January 14 (22:42) to January 17 (11:30) will accumulate in Capricorn Moon, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Saturn and Pluto. A child born at this time will collect all the most important features of Capricorn: he will be purposeful, hard-working, and have strong will and a strong core.
Another one is expected at the very end of the month moon eclipse, which will take place on the Leo-Aquarius axis, just like last year in February.

New lunar year will begin February 16, on the new moon, which coincides with solar eclipse. This may indicate significant lunar year. Around the middle of the month, Venus will move into the gentle and emotional sign of Pisces, so the need for feelings and love will increase significantly at this time.

Retrograde movement or backward movement is not the real, but the path of the planet visible from Earth. The retrograde effect occurs due to the difference in the speeds of the Earth and the planet relative to the Sun. If we don’t have to get used to the retrograde (R) of Mercury, it happens retrograde 3-4 times a year for 20 days, then the retrograde of Mars is more a rare event, it happens retrograde once every 2 years, for 80 days. Social planets– Jupiter and Saturn and higher planets– Uranus, Neptune and Pluto go retrograde every year. Let me remind you that the Sun and Moon are never retrograde. Below are all the retrograde periods of the planets in 2017, but in order to interpret them more accurately, you need to understand the specifics of retrograde periods and their phases.
When we interpret the transit of a retrograde planet, we are not only dealing with the retrograde phase itself, but we are considering the entire retro period, which is called the “retrograde loop”. Retrograde loops of planets are longer periods of time than the distance from point R to point D. They cover the entire segment of the Zodiac in degrees along which the planet goes retrograde. The countdown of the retrograde loop begins from the moment when the still direct planet enters the degree of the sign to which it will return in its extreme point retrograde to turn back to direct movement - D.
Entering the retrograde phase, the planet slows down to stationary (stop - SR), and slowly turns around, returns along the recently passed segment of the sign - (R), so that at the end of the retrograde period, it stops again - (SD) and turns to direct (D) movement along a path already traversed twice.
Retrograde periods and decision making
In retrograde motion, the planet repeats its path along the same degrees of the Zodiac through which it has already passed in its direct motion. From an esoteric point of view, this is a return to the past, turning inward, rethinking the experience gained, slowing down in business. Therefore, when the fast planets are retrograde: Mercury, Mars and Venus, the beginning of fundamentally new things and projects designed for the future is not recommended; such an undertaking comes with difficulties, complications, and does not give the result that a person expects. At such a time, external conditions, laws, circumstances change, they will not remain the same and familiar, but they have not yet been determined. During the retro periods of personal planets, we do not have all the information necessary for an adequate assessment. It is not safe to draw final conclusions and make decisions at such a time - the situation, circumstances will change, and decision may turn out to be erroneous.
During retrograde periods, long-pending matters are often launched, which for various reasons were postponed and not resolved. At this time, there is a return to solving old problems and issues. The event itself may not occur directly on the loop, but it is formed on the loop and takes place after the retrograde phase. Under such conditions, this is the “safest” scenario for resolving issues and developing the situation.Making its way through one sector of the Zodiac three times, the planet poses a problem - during the first passage (1), calls for ways to solve it - during a retrograde passage (2) and gives a way out of the situation and a solution in a new way - during the third, direct passage through that the same area (3).
When the inner planets - Mercury and Venus - become retrograde, they begin to conjunct the Sun. The conjunction of retrograde Mercury or Venus with the Sun is an “inferior conjunction” - NS. This is a symbolic new moon, the beginning of their cycles with the Sun - a time of awareness of current events on the topic of the planet, their behavior, their mental and communicative approaches (Mercury), or their emotional reactions, values and attachments (Venus). If during this period there are repetitions of already former troubles, it is necessary to think about their cause, and at the point of “lower connection” the answer will come, it will open new way solutions to problems on the topic of the planet, which we can use in the future. At the stage from the “lower connection” to the return to directivity (SD), all efforts must be directed to resolving old matters, repaying debts, and putting an end to lingering problems. The next stage of the retro loop - from the beginning of directivity to exiting the loop - at this time there is a set of potential, preparation for new steps, thinking about new ideas according to Mercury or awareness of emotional preferences, values and ways to achieve internal harmony, ethical principles according to Venus. At this stage, you need to complete unresolved problems, relationships that need to be ended, since unresolved problems and deficiencies will move into the next cycle. The conjunction of the Sun with direct Mercury or Venus is the “upper conjunction” - BC - the symbolic full moon of the cycle.
When the outer planets - Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto become retrograde, they begin to oppose the Sun. The opposition of a planet to the Sun is the phase of the symbolic full moon in their cycle and important period transit that you need to pay attention to. The sun – “consciousness, individuality” and the principle of the planet, at this time are separated by poles in our consciousness. This is the culmination of the cycle of the planet and the Sun, and the culmination of themes and situations of this cycle, a period of awareness of non-constructive approaches, revision and identification of new approaches. This period provides an opportunity to realize which of our habitual reactions and ways of implementing the planet principle must be revised in order to remain adequate and effective.
During retro periods, repetition of the action may be successful. For example, a couple had a fictitious divorce and they entered into their remarriage on retro-Mercury. Since then, they have been living in a strong marriage for 21 years.
Introspection
When analyzing the transit of a personal retro planet according to the natal chart, the planetary status of the planets should be taken into account. Fast planets are in “subordination” to the slow ones. A personal planet can implement the tasks set by the parallel transit of a slow planet, i.e. against the backdrop of social conditions created by the loops of slow planets - Jupiter, Saturn, etc., an opportunity is created for the event to be realized on a personal level.
It is important to observe during what exact transits of slow planets the aspect occurs personal planet in a retro-loop to the natal chart. Look at which house of your natal chart Mercury retrograde or Mars is transiting. Is there a connection with natal planet, ASC or MS? What aspects will the planets make while in the loop and what events will occur in your life? All this will help you understand the transit cycle of Mercury and Mars in a more personalized way for you personally, and will be good practical experience in studying transits and in mastering forecasting techniques.

Retrograde periods of planets in 2017
Mercury retrograde periods 2017
Every year there are 3-4 retrograde periods of Mercury, and in 2017 there are a little over 3 of them. The beginning of 2017 will be the end of the retrograde period of Mercury, which began on December 19, 2016. The planet will move backward from Capricorn to Sagittarius and on January 8 at 09:38 will switch to direct motion. There will be three more retrograde transits of Mercury over the next months of the year. Now, in more detail about the dates of the beginning of retrograde and the transition to directness, as well as the dates of entry and exit from retro-loops (in the table the designation is R-loop).

Mercury's retrograde motion, or backward movement, is the planet's path as seen from Earth. The retrograde effect occurs as a result of the difference in the speeds of the Earth and Mercury relative to the Sun. In retrograde motion, the planet repeats its path along the same degrees of the Zodiac through which it has already passed in its direct motion. From an esoteric point of view, this is a return to the past, turning inward, rethinking the experience gained, slowing down in business. Mercury goes retrograde 3-4 times a year. The duration of the retrograde phase is 20 days.
Mercury represents communication, phone calls, correspondence, postal transfers, our daily mobility and short trips; all types of communication, means of communication, exchange of information, goods and contacts with our immediate environment. It symbolizes our type and style of thinking, as well as the ability and ability to increase our level of awareness both current issues, and in the field of our education. His transit is playing important role in negotiations and business agreements.
Being the closest planet from the Sun, Mercury is the main filter of our consciousness in the stream of perception of the world. During the period of its retrograde, there is a slowness of thought processes and a desire to analyze accumulated information. Retrograde Mercury is not focused on new connections, new impressions, it immerses us in understanding what we have already learned, and tends to put things in order in our thoughts and contacts.
What can be observed during the retro-Mercury period
At this time, people are more immersed in themselves, they think and communicate a little differently, their mental attention is directed either to the past or to the metaphysical. One way or another, their contact with the real plane decreases at this time. There may be a need for privacy and reduced contact. Communication may use writing more often, and absent-mindedness and forgetfulness are common. Many of the things that have already been started may become stuck; in many cases, it becomes difficult to complete what we started for reasons beyond our control. The conclusions made at this time will not be final and will require re-examination and refinement later.
At this time, rules may change, contracts may be revised, deadlines may be postponed, the publication of manuscripts submitted for printing may be delayed, and difficulties and delays in completing documents may increase. Texts submitted to the publishing house at this time may contain inaccuracies or omissions; proofreaders may not notice gross typos. The likelihood of errors in accounting documentation increases, and important points of information may fall out of sight. Studying is more difficult new material When traveling, misunderstandings, delays, and flight delays are common. Business trips to new places and for new reasons often turn out to be unsuccessful. This period may lead to problems in the field of communication and information exchange (telephone, post services, Email, communication on Internet forums), in agreements, decisions, marketing, data processing and storage. At this time, communication means often fail and break down, Appliances and transport, flight delays at airports occur more often than at other times. Pets may need more attention. These tendencies may be more pronounced on days near Mercury's turns to retrograde (R) or direct (D), that is, near the start and end dates of retrograde in the calendar.

This is an unfavorable time for starting important negotiations, concluding agreements, signing contracts, going to court to file a claim, for business trips, getting a job, starting a business, changing the type of activity, starting new projects, purchasing communications equipment, office equipment and large purchases; for diagnostics and medical examination; to contact new specialists, to start new business relationships, new cooperation; for dangerous trips to new places and starting to learn something new; presentation of new ideas and projects.
At this time, it is useful to return to old affairs and put them in order. This could be finishing up already started tasks and projects, sorting the archive, clearing the computer of unnecessary files. At this time, you can make backup copies of important data and documents, and a site backup. More useful detailed work on topics that for some reason were postponed. Returning now to previous ideas, we can find something useful and important in them, this is the time for finalizing projects. To use the retrograde effect, you can take repeated steps during this period in cases that did not get results on the first try.
Life does not stand still, waiting for the direction of Mercury, and sometimes it is at this time that we are forced to deal with paperwork, go somewhere, etc.. In this case, remember some rules. If it is impossible to reschedule your trip, submit or receive documents, or conclude a current contract, negotiate and agree on all points, be extremely attentive to dates and numbers; double-check what you write, read the fine print; check documents when receiving, for example, a visa, for the accuracy of the dates. When arranging a meeting or trip, agree on all the nuances, make sure that you understand everything correctly and that you are understood correctly.
Build up energy. This is a time of analysis and preparation of things that will need to be carried out after the expiration of the retro period of Mercury. For people creative professions this time can be very fruitful. It brings new ideas for the embodiment of unfinished images and plots; now you can understand and work out in more detail what previously did not fit into a finished image or concept.
You can meet old friends whom you haven’t seen for a long time. This is a good time to restore lost connections and resume cooperation. People from the past may appear in our lives. At this time, old connections will be more beneficial than new acquaintances.
For owners of natal retro-Mercury, periods of transit retro-Mercury can be more fruitful than for owners of direct Mercury, since retrospection is their habitat. But astrological recommendations for the period of this transit are common to everyone, since we are all part of the world in which we live, and the world is in the retro phase of Mercury. Therefore, new initiatives and the beginning of something important, in business, for example, and in other areas where a person depends on people and external circumstances, will have the same consequences for the owner of natal retro-Mercury as for others. At the same time, often, in people with natal retro-Mercury, important events in life, events take place on transit retro-Mercury that do not depend on their current choice.
About the retro-Mercury transit in combination with natal chart from N. Markina’s book “Cycles of the Planets”:
« The natal house through which Mercury retrograde is transiting will be an important area of experience. The topics of this house will require a person to have clarity of thought, clarity of speech, and understanding of personal interests. In the sphere of this house there is a need to search for new criteria and new ideals. All radix planets affected by the passage of Mercury retrograde will naturally be included in general process. The period of retrograde motion of planets is special meaning, when it falls on an angular house, especially on the Ascendant of the radix. Retrograde loops along the Ascendant and the first house require changes in behavior from a person, attention to speech and gestures, appearance, occur in a nervous tense state, but allow you to adjust the expression of planetary functions, realize previously taken initiatives, and discover mistakes in previous endeavors, move away from previous unproductive behavior patterns."
