Venus Retrograde (General) 

Venus stations retrograde approximately once every 18 months and it usually last for about 40 days. Those things ruled by Venus, such as money and love, are affected by Venus Retrograde.

• Love - When Venus stations retrograde, we tend to see couples break up, and in some cases get back together. We also tend to see ex-lovers come back into our lives. Venus Retrograde is a good time for us to evaluate our relationships. This usually occurs so that one or both parties can get closure, not necessarily so that they can reconcile.
• Money & Values - Venus has sway over those things that we value, so when Venus stations retrograde this is also a good time to review our values. We also need to reevaluate our relationship to money. How important it is to us and what we are willing to do to get it.
• Taurus and Libra - Because Venus rules both Taurus and Libra, those born under this sign may have a much more difficult time navigating Venus Retrograde.

Venus Retrograde in 26° Capricorn (General)

With Venus Retrograde occurring int he public sector of the chart, people become much more concerned about how they are perceived by others. They may question their own worth and how they leverage their worth (labor) to make money for themselves. Some people may (re)discover their passion for their career or job. This is a good time to (re)define one's goals and aspirations, getting a clear picture of your expectations and what you want in terms of money and love.

Any workplace romances can sour now, and it is possible that a past workplace relationship can come back to haunt you as well.

Example 

Venus Retrograde in Capricorn and the 3rd House 

The third house rules communication. When Venus stations retrograde in Capricorn and the 3rd house, you can expect issues related to communication as they pertain to your work, income, or relationships. During this period, you may question whether the people you involve yourself with on a daily basis are worth the effort or a waste of time that add nothing of value to your life.

Aspects

Aspects, or relationships between planets, is another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be considered. For example, in my own chart, Venus Retrograde at 26° Capricorn is separating a conjunction to my Natal Jupiter at 02° Aquarius. This is a weak aspect because the orb is so wide, and it is separating - meaning the planets are moving farther apart. Under this aspect you can generally see your social network growing, however since Venus is retrograde, it can manifest as reviewing how you social with others to bring you pleasure and friendship.
