How Venus Retrograde Will Change Your Life
the planet of love is undergoing a metamorphosis—and so are you ⋆.˚🦋༘⋆
When you hear the word “retrograde,” you may think of delays, inconveniences, and misunderstandings. But the word “retrograde” isn’t synonymous with “bad.” In fact, retrograde periods are a natural—and essential—part of any planetary orbit. They turn our energy inwards, inviting us to reevaluate our current circumstances and realign with our true north.
I have to say, I’m actually excited for Venus Retrograde. It’s so spiritual. So sensual. So evocative. So sacred. And it only occurs once every 18-months, which means we haven’t encountered this mystical movement since September 2023. This year, Venus goes retrograde on March 1 at 10° Aries, spinning all the way back to 28° Pisces before it returns to direct motion on April 12.
What’s more, Venus’ orbital cycle hinges on this backwards spin. The midpoint of Venus Retrograde has long been considered a powerful mystical portal where anything is possible.
So, what does this sacred retrograde mean, exactly? What’s in store for you? And how can you use this energy to you advantage? Below, everything you need to know about this year’s Venus Retrograde, including horoscopes for each sign.
