…and back into Aries

Venus retrograde in Aries brings impatience in love to the surface. Impulsive attractions cool, old conflicts with partners reopen, and people reconsider what they fought for. It is traditionally better for reflecting on desire than for chasing a new one.

It begins in Aries season and ends in Taurus season.

Also retrograde at the same time

Jupiter in Virgo — Apr 1 to May 6, 1921 (35 days of overlap)
Saturn in Virgo — Apr 1 to May 14, 1921 (43 days of overlap)
Neptune in Leo — Apr 1 to Apr 22, 1921 (21 days of overlap)

For the sign itself, see Taurus and its daily horoscope.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 1921

Both dates are computed from the planet’s apparent motion, not taken from a table. A retrograde begins the moment its daily movement against the stars turns negative, and that moment is findable to the hour.
