RETROGRADE VENUS AND SEXUALITY
In one of the previous videos we have discovered what is it all about Mars being retrograde in terms of sexuality in a lady’s chart. Here today we discuss about the role of Retrograde Venus in a man’s chart and its sexual connection.
Venus is essentially the value of a man that is defined as to what a man feels about himself in terms of net worth. Being the ruler of the 2nd house and the 7th house of the natural Zodiac, Venus fundamentally represents as the storage the value that a man or a woman puts on himself or herself it also represents the value the person feels on interaction with the society in general.
Venus represents emotions. As a watery planet, it represents all things that are fluid and emotions at the most fluid of all the abstract things. It gets digbali, that is directional strength in the 4th house. The 4th house of the natural zodiac is Cancer which represents emotional state of the zodiac.
Emotions are perceptions of a person or the way a person sees or feels about something. It is based on our Desire, love or dislike for a certain situation or happening. It is therefore a personal judgement. It could also be a collective judgement. Depending on the desh, kal, patra or place, time and person concerned.
Venus retrograde makes a person have a different perception of his or her own value and can make a person baffled especially when associated in a male’s chart.
Venus retrograde can have a negative impact on the marital relationships when present in the chart of the male.
This retrograde can act just like Mars in a woman’s chart that is it can show and overemphasis or aggression in marital life or it can nullify it totally or it can also make a person homosexual.
Retrograde Venus has a more detrimental impact if aspected by Jupiter or Mars.

Example-
Hugo Black

Called a militant humanist, he often referred to himself as a “Clay County hillbilly.” He is one of the most distinguished jurists to have served in the Court’s history. In a career that spanned 34 years, from 1937 to 1971, he issued gallant opinions that made the bill or Rights a visible protector of individual liberty.

Analysis
Venus here is present in the 4th House of masses and emotions making him highly emotional on the public front. Associated with 8th Lord Mercury and aspected by the Retrograde Lagna Lord Mars, this gives him a highly sexual nature. Also, the dispositor of Venus is retrograde, a major point to be observed.
Example-
Warren Beatty
Observation
American actor, strikingly handsome with a style that is self-consciously cool and opaque, the classic screen idol of his day. He has been nominated for 14 Oscars, including 1967 for his performance in “Bonnie and Clyde.” He won the Oscar as Best Director in 1981 for “Reds.” Appearing effortless on screen.
A notorious womanizer, his affections are righteously claimed by every female in Hollywood and beyond, singly and in pairs. The most appropriate list seems to be the Hollywood phone book. To his credit, he steadfastly refuses to discuss his love-life with any one of his ladies to any of the media.
In 1959, Beatty began dating actress Joan Collins, they were engaged in the early 1960’s but his infidelity led to their split. Collins revealed in her 1978 autobiography that she became pregnant by Beatty but had an abortion.
Beatty has been married to actress Annette Bening since 1992. They have four children: Stephen Ira (born January 8, 1992), Benjamin (born August 23, 1994), Isabel (born January 11, 1997), and Ella (born April 8, 2000). His eldest son Stephen Ira came out as transgender in 2006.[78]
Prior to marrying Bening, Beatty was well known for his womanizing and high-profile romantic relationships that received generous media coverage.[79] Singer-songwriter Carly Simon also dated Beatty, and confirmed in November 2015 that she wrote a verse in her hit song “You’re So Vain” about him.

Analysis
Retrograde in the Lagna and associated with Jupiter the 3rd Lord of friends and Bhagya of Marriage and 12th Lord Mercury of bed pleasures, this Venus showed a strong inclination to same gender appreciation. Venus is also the Lord of the 8th House of sex and scandals.
Example – Renée Zellweger
Venus here is retrograde in the Lagna and associated with Jupiter and Mercury. Retrograde in the 7th House of the natural Zodiac and being the ruler of the 8th House of the chart, it does show its colour in a very different way.
Observation
American Oscar-winning actress whose her big Hollywood break-through was the romantic interest in “Jerry Maguire,” a 1996 movie starring Tom Cruise. Her 2001 performance as Bridget Jones in “Bridget Jones’s Diary” earned her an Academy Award nomination, with another nod from the Academy for her role in the film adaptation of the musical “Chicago” in 2002. An Oscar for Best Supporting Actress was finally given to her for her scene-stealing portrayal of Ruby Thawes in “Cold Mountain” (2003).
Zellweger’s parents were immigrants, her father from Switzerland and her mother from Norway. A good student, she attended University of Texas at Austin, majoring in English but the drama bug bit her when she took a drama class. She made several small and independent films before “Jerry Maguire.”
Although her name was linked romantically with other celebrities like Jack White and Damien Rice, Zellweger remained single until her marriage to Kenny Chesney on May 9, 2005 on St. John in the Virgin Islands. Their marriage never made it to their 6-month anniversary; Zellweger filed a petition for annulment on September 14, 2005. It became final on December 20, 2005 in Los Angeles.
Analysis
Venus here is exalted but retrograde in the 8th House of scandals and sexuality. And to add spice to mix, Rahu too is present. It is aspected by a retrograde Jupiter, the 8th Lord. This behaviour in such a case cannot be taken as unusual.
This is what retrograde Venus does to a person’s sexual life.
