I am offering a Webinar:
Magnificent Venus Cycle: Venus Retrograde 2025
Friday. February 28, 2025. 7:00-9:00 PM EST. Friday is the day of Venus.
Register at early bird rate of $40 through Feb. 21, 2025 ($50 after that date).
www.ronniedreyer.com/schedule.
Venus, which alternates as a morning and evening star, has fascinated astronomers, astrologers and storytellers for millennia. In this webinar, we will examine its astronomy, mythology, and astrological cycles. More specifically, we will see what happens on a natal and mundane level when Venus forms inferior and superior conjunctions with the Sun, and when it goes retrograde and direct, which this year is between March 2-April 13, 2025 (GMT).
Many of you have taken webinars with me about Venus, or heard me talk about this in the Sensitive Degrees Webinar, but every time Venus retrogrades it does so on completely different dates and degrees so there is always something new and more in-depth to speak about. This webinar will include a detailed introduction to the theory of Venus retrograde, and what this particular retrograde cycle is about especially since during the retrograde we will also experience Mercury retrograde, and two eclipses, and when multiple planetary signatures occur within a week or two of each other, they will exert more influence than usual. We will also go over past retrograde cycles that this Venus correspond to.
We will talk about the 4 and 8-year cycle when Venus once again forms a conjunction at around the same degrees it is doing so now. Venus forms the inferior conjunction with the Sun this year on March 22, and four years ago Venus formed a superior conjunction with the Sun on March 26, 2021, and 8 years ago on March 25, 2017, Venus, like now, formed an inferior conjunction with the Sun in the middle of its retrograde cycle. The webinar will be presented in both Western tropical and Indian sidereal zodiacs. If you cannot attend live, you will receive the recording the next day. Register at ronniedreyer.com/schedule. Scroll down to read about Venus in its retrograde arc (shadow).
Remember to look at the evening sky, since Venus is a beautiful object to behold, and even though it was at its brightest on February 14, it still remains bright before it starts to retrograde, and move closer to the Sun, where it will be conjunct, and then rise as a Morning Star. If you go to earthandsky.org it will tell you a lot about Venus and what else to see in the night sky.

This month's lunations occur with the February 12, 2025 Full Moon. 13:53. Tropical. 24° Leo 06’. Sidereal. 29° Cancer 59’. aśleṣā and the February 28, 2025 New Moon. 00:44. Tropical. 9° Pisces 40'. Sidereal. 15° Aquarius 33’. śravaṇā.
If you have any planets, points, or angles around those degrees (I would take a one-two degree orb) then whatever is represented by that planet, point or angle, will be prominent and important until the next lunation, meaning that if something in your chart is conjunct this month's Full Moon on February 12, 2025, it will usually be prominent until the next Full Moon (Lunar Eclipse) on March 14, 2025. And if something in your chart is conjunct this month's New Moon on February 28, 2025, it will usually be prominent until the next New Moon (Solar Eclipse) on March 29, 2025. The New Moon represents beginnings and can help you to institute a change you have been thinking about while the Full Moon is an accomplishment or culmination and gives the push to continue on that path. If you have planets, points, or angles conjunct this month's lunations, you will feel a need to take action with either something new (New Moon) or the manifestation of something you have been working on (Full Moon). Of course, the houses that these lunations fall in, will highlight those areas of life as well.
If your birthday is between February 11-13, then the Full Moon is in your solar return (varṣaphala), the annual birthday chart, or close enough that it will be important for the year ahead until your next birthday, meaning that it may be year when things you have been working on will manifest, or feel like they are moving in the right direction, so continue with whatever is fulfilling you. Set your intentions high and gather your confidence since this is the year when things will take place. The Full Moon on your birthday is important but when you have an eclipse there, even if it is a partial lunar eclipse, the year ahead will be even more significant than usual. make sure that you are prepared to make those changes that come with manifesting your hopes, otherwise they can pass you by.
If your birthday is between February 27-March 1, then the New Moon is in your solar return (varṣaphala), the annual birthday chart, or close enough that it will be important for the year ahead until your next birthday, meaning a change is bound to happen, so work on that change. It could be a physical move, job change, relationship change, or simply working on yourself to integrate new patterns and habits into your life. Expect a great deal of transformative experiences that will make you want to change or take a step in a different direction. Take your time but do head in that direction, since otherwise it will happen to you whether you initiate it or not.
The February lunations also occurred on the same dates and degrees in 1987 and 2006 so think about anything important that might have occurred in that birthday year. Although other planets will be different from those years, it still may indicate the area of change or importance in those years. (Scroll down for more Celestial Events.).
