What Venus retrograde means for a pair
In the practitioner tradition, Venus retrograde turns a one-day Venus transit into three passes over the same degree across months: a first pass, a review pass while retrograde, and a resolution pass. Contacts between two charts that sit in the retrograde span get revisited. The station days themselves are traditionally treated as poor days for new commitments.
Cosmea scores those passes per contact and labels them, and marks station days red for new commitments regardless of score. The shadow period is disclosed once and not scored: it is a description, not a penalty.
