Why rising sign matters
The Ascendant determines the house framework, so it gives more context than a Sun-sign-only reading.
The two-stage transit
Venus begins retrograde in Scorpio and later returns to Libra, shifting the symbolic emphasis from depth and trust to reciprocity and balance.
Aries to Cancer rising
Aries: shared resources then partnerships. Taurus: partnerships then daily routines. Gemini: work and habits then creativity. Cancer: romance and creativity then home and family.
Leo to Scorpio rising
Leo: home then communication. Virgo: communication then money and values. Libra: money then identity. Scorpio: identity then retreat and closure.
Sagittarius to Pisces rising
Sagittarius: retreat then networks. Capricorn: networks then career. Aquarius: career then worldview and travel. Pisces: worldview then shared resources and intimacy.
