The retrograde period of Venus 2012
This is a calendar of the retrograde period of Venus in the year 2012.
Here is the ist of dates when Venus makes conjunctions and parallels of declination to deep space objects: nebulae, star clusters and galaxies.
Along with each date are listed the astrological trends associated with each event, allowing us to program our activities, either to have better results, to avoid problems, or simply to be aware of the general atmosphere and what is happening at a particular moment...

¿Would you join Venus in her retrograde trip in the sky?
May 16th, 2012 .... Venus begins its retrograde period conjunct the Crab Nebula (M1), indicating drastic changes in relationships, also in the art world. Around this day, the stock markets had a hard time worldwide! However, some relationships and budgets got boosted instead. Caution is needed not to expose personal feelings too much and to avoid excessive spending.
May 30th, 2012... Venus conjuncts star cluster M79, which is an immigrant from another galaxy the Milky Way has absorbed in the recent cosmic past. This helps social integration, making it possible to iron out differences, to resolve conflicts, to learn more about the people around us. A diplomatic attitude should be considered. The trend is excellent for meetings of any kind and reconciliation.
June 1st, 2012 ... Venus makes a parallel of declination to the Pleiades star cluster (M45), giving strength to new ideas, bringing an idealistic motivation, honesty in relationships and insight ... On the other hand, this trend accelerates the pace of circumstances and projects. This can put a lot of pressure on relationships. Stress should be avoided; we must let things find out their natural rhythm by themselves. In that way, we'll harmonize better with others and with our projects.
June 5th, 2012 .... Venus passes across the disk of the Sun in a very rare event that won't repeat itself in more than a century. This "eclipse of Venus" happens aligned in opposition to the Butterfly Nebula. This nebula is in fact a dying double star system in the constellation Ophiuchus, which produces a beautiful double-lobed nebula around it. This event represents a unique, very particular opportunity to interact creatively with others, whether it is emotional, sexual, artistic, in friendship, business or work. It is a great moment for creating beauty, alone or with others, in all of its forms. However, we may need to consider how the actions or demands of one person can deplete the other person's (or many) energy and resources...
June 7th, 2012... Venus emphasizes idealism in parallel to the Dumbbell Nebula (M27), and can stimulate communication between like-minded people, at least intellectually. This combination promotes objectivity amid somewhat extremist tendencies. It is excelent for research, study, meditation, spirituality, and connecting with the universe in any way. But it can also represent arguments between people with different opinions, ideals or education.
June 8/9th, 2012 ... Venus makes a parallel with the Crab Nebula (M1), the supernova explosion with which it began its retrograde period. It is possible that it will reinforce the same trends of June 15/16th. It can have an effect on art, relationships, finances, which might experience changes. However, this transit is very fast and such a strong effect is not expected or at least not as deep as with its retrograde station.
June 10th, 2012... Venus makes a parallel with the famous Black Eye Galaxy (M64). This represents an harmonic contact with people who think differently, so we can have many positive exchanges. Integration will be easier, so we need to have an attitude of acceptance. Rejection will only deepen old wounds and create more practical problems between people.
June 12th, 2012 ... Venus makes a parallel with the Eskimo Nebula, a planetary nebula or dying star in the constellation Gemini. The tendency is to emphasize idealism and the higher mind, particulary in the exchange with like-minded people. This is great for studying, research, broadcasting, meditation. It is important to not to let ourselves be swayed by extremist attitudes. Avoid discussions of controversial topics, as they may cause discomfort and end up deteriorating relationships.
June 17th, 2012 ... Venus makes a parallel with the Beehive Cluster, or M44, stimulating strongly the need for expression at all levels. This is ideal to create and promote shows, to generate artistic creativity, to express feelings, ideas and demonstrate our skills to everyone. What must be avoided is the tendency to grab too much attention from others, to represent an annoyance to others, and to exaggerate emotions.
June 20th, 2012 ... Venus makes a parallel to M71, which can represent a good performance in the financial and material plane. It is an excellent time for shopping, for doing major investments, for promoting business and valuable exchanges, and to raise self-esteem in psychological terms. It is necessary to see that gains are not lost with the same speed with which they come; avoid excessive or unnecessary expenses and do save.
June 24/25th, 2012 ... Venus in parallel to star cluster M53 and the galaxy M85 indicate very good opportunities for exchange. We must participate in the social arena, this is not a moment to stay in isolation, otherwise opportunities will not materialize. It is important to learn to give as much as to receive.
June 28th, 2012 ... Venus ends its retrograde station going direct, resuming its forward motion in the zodiac, in conjunction to the Hyades cluster in the constellation Taurus. It is a time to express emotions, so you have to find the appropriate channel, probably through artistic creativity, in a relationship or as a public of great artistic creations. It also stimulates much romance and sexuality, so you have to take the necessary measures to enjoy it as well as to manage emotions with caution...
July 6th, 2012 ..... Although Venus has resumed its direct motion 9 days before, this time is actually a direct station on declination. Venus resumes its movement north, changing direction at the declination of the Geminga supernova. We can expect around this time strong, intense events and changes in relationships, art, finance, similar to those seen on May 15/16th and June 8/9th.
