…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 — Mar 25 to May 6, 1945 (42 days of overlap)
  • Neptune in Libra — Mar 25 to May 6, 1945 (42 days of overlap)
  • Pluto in Leo — Mar 25 to Apr 20, 1945 (26 days of overlap)
  • Mercury in Aries — Apr 3 to Apr 27, 1945 (24 days of overlap)

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 1945

Previous

1943 Ended September 27, 1943 after 43 days, moving back 16.2° through the zodiac.

Next

1946 Begins October 28, 1946 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.
