It also oversees money – both spending and receiving (earning).Venus is a planet of luck and good fortune, but not as much as Jupiter.

If you were born when Venus was retrograde, you're most comfortable around the people you know. Your finances might be limited when you're younger, but will increase as you age. The same rules apply to your love life as to your finances.
