<td val[/IMG]My experience with Venus retrogrades is that people from the past return into your life. Even if only briefly. How something works I think would be the best way that I could personally answer that. What is occurring in the target's life, if there is one, comes into play as well.
Typically full expression of the planet does not resume until the planet reaches the point where it went retrograde, so apply that concept as well. When it is stationary, it can increases intensity momentarily.
Saturn goes direct today. I have been dealing with that conjuncting my natal Sun & hitting the 5 degree point before its entry into my 3rd house. I have been having hell maintaining an older vehicle that has low mileage for its age as a result. One I bought new at that. Additionally Saturn is exalted in Libra.
5 degrees before exact contact, then exact meaning 1 degree before to 1 degree after, then to 5 degrees after is my experience with planets in transit. Saturn can linger on a degreee or two. So there may be several retrograde periods in that time frame, Saturn sometimes will only make 2 exact contacts instead of 3. The other outer ones are always 3 contacts minimum. It is sort of like a volcano. Yet get rumblings, then an explosion, then the rumblings wane, but you get a little reminder of what you dealt with when it's all over. Planets leaving houses usually remind you of your lessons for that house as well.
Also learn solar arcs. One day per year in the birth chart. Similar to secondary progressions, but they don't follow the planetary movement. They however are mainly only in effect within 30 minutes of exactness & are never retrograde.
I am in a Pluto conjunct my natal Sun solar arc now & I am due for solar arc Mars to conjunct my ascendant very soon.
I find charts for the Venus return to be EXTREMELY accurate on prediction. I do one every year. Negative transits means money going out for me - every time. Meaning an unexpected expense usually. Lately my vehicle.
I would say spell work involving Venus should be based upon the Venus return chart. Yours & if necessary, theirs.

Would spells still not work if Venus is out of its retrograde period but still in its retrograde zone?
