Venus is the planet of love, beauty, pleasure, and personal values. When Venus is in retrograde, it means the planet appears to move backward in the sky. This doesn’t only affect our relationships, but also our perception of what we truly value and appreciate.

Keep in mind that this isn’t a time to fear, but rather an opportunity for growth and improvement in our relationships and interactions. It’s the perfect moment to pause, reflect, and make necessary adjustments to align with your true desires and values.

Take a deep breath, embrace change, and prepare to welcome the new positive energy that will emerge once Venus resumes its direct course—if, of course, you’ve done the necessary inner work during its retrograde... 😉

📍
  • Period: Venus retrogrades every 20 months for about 42 days. In 2025, it will do so from March 3 to April 13, 2025.
  • What to avoid: New romantic relationships. During this period, all aspects governed by Venus tend to be experienced more slowly or painfully.

March 3 to April 13, 2025: Intense emotions!

Venus retrogrades in the zodiac sign of Aries (until March 27, 2025), then moves into Pisces (starting March 28, 2025).

With Venus retrograde in Aries, we can expect a period of questioning in love and relationships. This phase encourages us to reflect on our desires, needs, and the way we interact with others. It’s an ideal time for re-evaluating love choices, resolving past conflicts, and finding new balance in relationships.

Emotions can run high, so be mindful before making impulsive decisions. This period may also bring back past relationships or unresolved feelings, offering a chance to close chapters or rebuild lost connections.

Starting March 28, Venus moves into Pisces. Venus retrograde in Pisces invites deep reflection on emotional connections and past bonds. It can stir up feelings of nostalgia and self-doubt, as well as encourage exploration of creativity and sensitivity.

This is a wonderful time for self-exploration, introspection, and emotional recalibration. Avoid making rushed relationship decisions, as misunderstandings or illusions might arise.

Ultimately, this retrograde encourages us to listen to our intuition and embrace our emotional depth with compassion and patience.

Venus retrograde: What does it mean?

When planet Venus goes retrograde, challenges in love and relationships may surface. Everything Venus represents—love, beauty, and finances—feels more subtle or uncertain. During this time, thoughts may revolve around love, sensuality, and personal values.

Since Venus influences romance and social connections, its retrograde can bring confusion in relationships. Communication issues, nostalgia for past loves, or an urge for new flirtations may emerge. However, Venus retrograde is primarily a time for deep introspection.

A period of self-reflection. Avoid idealizing someone new or rushing into commitments. Instead, focus on personal growth and what truly matters in your life.

Hi, I loved the article. I wanted to ask if someone could tell me what this would mean for me and my bf and me? He's cancer sun, taurus moon, capricorn rising, venus in gemini. I'm virgo sun, taurus moon, libra rising and my venus is in Cancer. I really don't want this to impact our relationship negatively and I'm desperate for tips to avoid negative changes for us during this period. I appreciate all help.

A family conversation left unfinished, a memory that resurfaces out of nowhere, an old wound asking to be soothed, a sudden desire to rethink the way you live, love, or protect yourself: this retrograde feels like a return to your roots. And as always with Mercury retrograde, the goal isn’t to panic, but to slow down, reread, listen again, and repair what needs repairing.
