Venus Turns Retrograde: Astrologers Say Five Zodiac Signs May Face Problems
Listen to the story
Astrologers say the planet Venus has become retrograde. This means Venus looks like it is moving backward in the sky. In astrology, this can change luck for some people.
Astrologers say this will last for about 29 days. They say five zodiac signs may have more problems in this time. Some people may also have trouble with money.
Astrologers also say Venus will be dim, or weak, in the sky now. Because of this, people will not do auspicious events like weddings during Navratri, a Hindu festival.
But astrologers say people can still do good events on Vijayadashami. This is a special festival day on the 20th. It has a lucky time called an abuj muhurat. People do not need to check other lucky times on this day.
