…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.

Gap across 1990

1.5 years between the two — long enough for a whole calendar year to fall inside it with nothing to report.
