…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

  • Neptune in Virgo — Mar 30 to May 9, 1929 (41 days of overlap)
  • Saturn in Capricorn — Apr 9 to May 11, 1929 (32 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 1929

Previous

1927 Ended October 2, 1927 after 43 days, moving back 16.14° through the zodiac.

Next

1930 Begins November 2, 1930 and runs 41 days.

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.
