The December loop up close, shadow to shadow
Venus crosses the 15.5° between 20°55′ Capricorn and 6°25′ Aquarius three times: forward in the pre-shadow (32 days), back while retrograde (41 days), forward again in the post-shadow (32 days).
…and back into Capricorn
Venus retrograde in Capricorn examines commitment, status and financial security in relationships. Long-term plans are questioned, the cost of love is weighed and old responsibilities return. It suits rebuilding foundations rather than making grand new promises.
It begins in Capricorn season and ends in
Aquarius season.

Jupiter

Mercury
in Capricorn —
Dec 30 to Jan 20, 1990 (20 days of overlap)
Both dates are computed from the planet’s apparent motion, not taken from a
table. A retrograde begins the moment its daily movement against the stars turns
negative, and that moment is findable to the hour.
Computed for 1990
Venus through the zodiac in 1990
Every sign Venus occupies during 1990, with the dates it enters and leaves. A sign that
appears twice means the planet backed into the previous sign during a retrograde and crossed again.
