Why This Venus Retrograde is a Pivotal Moment
Every 8 years, Venus retrogrades in the same zodiac sign (minus a couple of degrees), which means this retrograde echoes the springs of 2001, 2009, and 2017. Whatever themes surfaced for you back then—especially in relationships, finances, and self-worth—are coming back for a final review.
Venus is embarking on a transformative journey, moving from Aries (independence, self-assertion) to Pisces (surrender, dissolution). This isn't just about past relationships resurfacing—it's a powerful recalibration of what you genuinely desire versus what you've been conditioned to want.
What This Venus Retrograde Will Bring
A Hard Look at Relationships (romantic, professional, and platonic)
Re-evaluation of Money & Resources (what you earn vs. what you share)
A Shift in Self-Worth (where you're overextending or undervaluing yourself)
Venus rules Taurus (self-worth, stability) and Libra (relationships, connection), so both themes will be tested.
The Turning Points
January 28: Venus enters its pre-shadow phase at 24° Pisces—themes begin emerging.
February 1: Venus conjoins Neptune—idealisation, illusion, or creative inspiration around love/money.
March 1: Venus stations retrograde at 10° Aries—the real work begins.
March 22: Venus Cazimi (Venus conjuncts the Sun)—a moment of clarity.
March 27: Venus moves back into Pisces—surrender, deeper emotional processing.
April 7: Venus conjoins Saturn—reality checks in love, money, or commitments.
April 12: Venus stations direct at 24° Pisces—forward motion begins.
May 16: Venus leaves shadow—final integration.
How It Will Affect Each Sign (Sun & Rising)
Aries: Are you fighting for independence or avoiding true intimacy?
Taurus: Have you outgrown old comfort zones or clinging out of fear?
Gemini: Are your words fostering connection or keeping people at a distance?
Cancer: Are you carrying emotional weight for others, or do your relationships feel safe?
Leo: Are you valued for who you are or just for your role?
Virgo: Are you over-giving while neglecting your own needs?
Libra: Are you losing yourself in others or standing firm in your identity?
Scorpio: Are you holding on out of loyalty, or is it time to let go?
Sagittarius: Are your relationships expanding with you or keeping you small?
Capricorn: Are your relationships built on mutual respect or just shared responsibility?
Aquarius: Are you emotionally present in relationships or just mentally engaged?
Pisces: Are you romanticising the past or stepping into the future with clarity?
What to Do During This Retrograde
Reassess: Look at the people, habits, and values in your life. Do they still align?
Release: Let go of outdated relationship patterns, financial habits, and self-limiting beliefs.
Reclaim: When Venus stations directly in Pisces, embrace what resonates with you.
The Bottom Line: This Venus retrograde is about course correction. You can't build a future on outdated values, relationships, or illusions. Whatever's coming up for review now? Face it, let go, and make space for what's next.
