Deep dives
Overview of Venus Retrograde Events
The episode outlines the repetitive nature of Venus retrograde events, emphasizing how Venus enters retrograde in Aries approximately every eight years. This cycle leads to historical patterns emerging in current events, prompting discussions on social media and in traditional media about notable past occurrences. The correlation between events of the past and present is explored, with the aim to increase awareness among listeners about these repetitions. The host encourages others to document any coinciding stories from previous Venus retrograde periods as they arise in real time.
Entertainment Industry Insights
A significant story noted was the closing of TikTok on January 18, 2025, followed by its reopening on January 19. This event mirrored the closure of the app Vine, which closed exactly eight years prior to the day. The discussion draws parallels between various tech platforms over the years, including the decline of MySpace during the Venus retrograde period in 2009. These examples reflect trends within social media and highlight the cyclical nature of business success and failure related to the Venus retrograde cycle.
Oscars and Artistic Milestones
The podcast highlights how the upcoming Oscars, occurring during the Venus retrograde, have historical significance connected to previous ceremonies. For instance, notable milestones associated with the Oscars have taken place during past Venus retrogrades, including the first Academy Awards in 1929. This year, for the first time, the Oscars are set to stream live on Hulu, which marks a new technological adaptation in the event's broadcasting history. The mention of Conan O'Brien hosting for the first time adds another layer of significance, as he is linked with past moments of transition within the entertainment landscape.
Social and Political Scandals
Significant social issues have arisen, notably surrounding Carla Sofia Gascon, the first openly transgender woman nominated for an Oscar, who is currently embroiled in a major scandal due to past tweets. Interestingly, this situation is outlined within the context of both the current and historical treatment of trans individuals during Venus retrograde periods. Past Venus retrogrades have previously observed similar patterns of controversy and progress involving gender identity, underscoring ongoing societal shifts. This particular instance serves as a reminder of the complexities involved in personal history and public life during these retrograde phases.
Aviation Accident Patterns
A tragic and significant event reported was an airplane crash on January 29, 2025, where a helicopter collided with a commercial airliner, resulting in multiple casualties. This incident exemplifies eerie repetition, paralleling events from previous Venus retrograde periods, such as a crash occurring exactly eight years prior in 2017. Further, connections to historic aviation disasters during the Venus retrograde in 1961 and 1929 underscore an unsettling pattern, making it a pivotal focal point for this current retrograde period. Such correlations emphasize the importance of examining aviation safety and history in relation to celestial movements.
Clemency and Legal Reforms
Legal themes have emerged prominently with the commutation of Leonard Peltier's sentence, marking another significant event during the Venus retrograde. Peltier, long viewed as a political prisoner, saw his sentence revised just days into President Biden's term, reflecting a broader conversation about justice, race, and rights in America. The historical context ties into past Venus retrograde periods, where clemency and justice were also at the forefront of discussions. This intersection highlights the cyclical nature of legal reforms and represents a turning point in advocating for marginalized voices.
In episode 477 Chris Brennan discusses a number of recent stories in the news and how they are repetitions of events that occurred during past Venus retrograde in Aries periods, demonstrating how the 8-year cycle of Venus can connect events from the past with the present.
This is a followup to the Venus retrograde in Aries in history episode last month, where Nick Dagan Best and I went through and noted a bunch of important events that happened during past Venus retrograde in Aries periods.
Ever since we recorded that episode on January 10 there started being all of these really striking headlines and news stories that were repetitions of events we had talked about from previous Venus retrogrades in that episode, so I decided to compile them all here in this episode.
Part of the purpose is to document some of these incredible Venus retrograde repetitions while they are happening and fresh in people's minds, but also to show people the repetitions so that they know what to look out for as we get deeper into this Venus retrograde over the next few months, that way you all can help me identify other repetitions that emerge in the near future.
