retrograde Venus rules 3rd and 8th house is in 12th house in Aquarius
As a Jyotish astrologer, I would interpret retrograde Venus in the 12th house of Aquarius as a challenging placement for anyone. The 12th house is traditionally associated with isolation, institutions, and the unseen or hidden aspects of life, while Venus is the planet of love, harmony, and beauty.
A retrograde Venus indicates that these qualities may be less accessible and need to be cultivated inwardly before they can be fully expressed. This placement may push the individual to explore their inner world and learn to appreciate their own unique qualities, rather than seeking external validation or approval from others.
Aquarius is an intellectual air sign associated with progressive ideas, innovation, and unconventional thinking, which can sometimes clash with Venusian values of tradition and stability. Thus, this placement could lead to challenges or conflicts with partnerships, relationships, or even financial matters.
However, if the individual can acknowledge and work through these challenges, they may be able to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them, and ultimately use their knowledge and insights to help themselves and others. As with any astrological placement, the outcome ultimately depends on the individual and their actions.
