Lindy Chamberlain and the Venus in Gemini Retrograde cycle

Venus retrogrades through the same sign every 8 years, with five different retrograde cycles running concurrently, each expressing every 18 months. When this is mapped in the sky, a 5 pointed star is created.

Every 8 years since 1932 Venus has retrograded through Gemini. That same cycle is still unfolding with the most recent one taking place in 2020, from 21 to 5 degrees Gemini. The next will occur in 2028.

Lindy and Azaria Chamberlain are inextricably linked to this Venus retrograde cycle. Their lives are weaved into what was labelled “The trial of the Century,” which saw one of them lose their life and the other wrongfully convicted of their murder.

When Venus retrogrades we see reoccurring themes emerging about justice / injustice, power / powerlessness, public consensus and unconscious collective narratives activated and projected onto individuals or communities.

Below is a video detailing the events of the trial that took place in the Northern Territory, Australia in the 1980’s. Below that is a timeline of events showing how people born into a Venus Retrograde timeline carry the Venus Rx cycle narrative as it weaves in and out over time. As time and life is not static, we can look at years that contain Venus retrograde cycles for themes that reflect the cycle.
