Venus Turns Retrograde: Astrologers Say Five Zodiac Signs May Face Problems
Listen to the story
Astrologers have said that the planet Venus has turned retrograde as of today. In astrology, this means Venus appears to move backward across the sky instead of forward.
According to the report, this retrograde period will last for about 29 days. Astrologers warn that five zodiac signs may face increased difficulties during this time, including financial troubles. The report says that the bank balance, or money saved in the bank, of these signs could become unstable for around 28 days.
The reason given is Venus's unusual, crooked movement in the sky. Astrologers also say that Venus has become combust, meaning it appears weak or hidden in the sky due to its position near the sun.
Because of this, the report states that auspicious ceremonies, such as weddings, will not take place during Navratri, a major Hindu festival of nine nights celebrated around this time.
However, astrologers note that people wishing to hold important events can still rely on Vijayadashami, which falls on the 20th. This day includes a special time called an abuj muhurat, a period considered naturally lucky without needing to check other astrological charts.
