Venus retrograde, find out how it will affect you

This is a time of re-evaluating and redefining our values, our financial habits, and our relationships with both others and ourselves. Venus retrograde invites us to embrace radical self-love, challenge outdated narratives about relationships and abundance, and release that which no longer aligns with our values.

Mars recently completed its retrograde, which was also significant for romantic matters. With both relationship planets going retrograde so close together, we are clearly called to revolutionize the way we show up in our interpersonal connections and break free from past conditioning and programming about love, sex, and relationships. This is a time to question our relationship habits, as well as what we expect from relationships, both consciously and unconsciously.

Venus in Aries highlights the inner tension that we all experience, to some extent, between our desire for connection and intimacy and our desire for independence and space. We have an opportunity to deepen our exploration of these themes during Venus retrograde. This transit always takes us on an inner journey of re-evaluating our value systems, relationships, and financial habits; it is an invitation to ask why we are drawn to certain experiences and not others, why we attract and are attracted to certain types of people.

In Aries, Venus retrograde brings into focus the redefinition of our relationship with our desires, instincts, and physicality. This transit is an opportunity to transform the one relationship that determines the quality of all others; the relationship we have with ourselves. Venus retrograde in Aries is an invitation to reconnect with what lights us up, what we feel passionate about, what feels nourishing, pleasurable, and energizing, and to commit to embracing radical self-love. Venus’ retrograde placement is especially significant for the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn), as well as for Taurus, also ruled by Venus. Individuals personally impacted by the shifting motion of Venus have an opportunity to dismantle the conditioning that has shaped how they give and receive love.
