Venus Retrograde in Aries and Queer History

April 06, 2025

In episode 485 astrologer Elly Higgins joins the show to discuss the 8-year repetitions of Venus retrograde in Aries and how they tie into queer history over the past century.

In this episode we start with the Venus retrograde in Aries of 1905, and then work our way forward in 8 year increments, discussing how important moments and turning points in queer history keep coinciding with this retrograde.

In the process we ended up finding a bunch of repetitions, many of which give insight into the Venus retrograde that we are currently living through today.

Elly is the host of Star Gays: The Queer Astrology Archives Podcast, and you can find more information here:
