…and back into Scorpio

Venus retrograde in Scorpio intensifies questions of trust, jealousy and shared money. Hidden feelings come out, old betrayals are revisited and financial entanglements need reviewing. Traditionally a time for honest reckoning in relationships rather than new commitments.

It begins in Scorpio season and ends in Sagittarius season.

Also retrograde at the same time

  • Mercury in Scorpio — Oct 25 to Nov 7, 1954 (13 days of overlap)
  • Uranus in Cancer — Nov 3 to Dec 5, 1954 (32 days of overlap)
  • Jupiter in Cancer — Nov 17 to Dec 5, 1954 (19 days of overlap)
  • Pluto in Leo — Nov 28 to Dec 5, 1954 (7 days of overlap)

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 1954

Previous

1953 Ended May 4, 1953 after 42 days, moving back 16.38° through the zodiac.

Next

1956 Begins May 31, 1956 and runs 43 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.
