Apparent position of Venus against the zodiac, 1965. Venus starts 1965 at 15°21′ Sagittarius and ends it at 12°55′ Aquarius — a full lap of the zodiac plus 57.6°, all of it forward. The shaded stretch from Dec 5 is the pre-retrograde shadow: Venus is already crossing the degrees it will walk back over after turning on Jan 5, 1966. Fastest day: Jan 29, 1.25° forward.

Venus in 1965: a year between two loops

543 days separate the end of one Venus retrograde from the start of the next, and 1965 falls entirely inside that stretch. Venus turns back once every 583.92 days — longer than a calendar year — and each loop is over in weeks, so now and then a whole year passes between two of them.

The run-up to the next loop starts before the year is out: the pre-retrograde shadow opens on December 5, the day Venus first reaches the degree it will later retreat to.

The loops themselves are on the 1964 and 1966 pages.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 1965

Previous

1964 Ended July 11, 1964 after 43 days, moving back 16.52° through the zodiac.

Next

1966 Begins January 5, 1966 and runs 41 days.

Gap across 1965

1.5 years between the two — long enough for a whole calendar year to fall inside it with nothing to report.

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.

Every sign Venus occupies during 1965, with the dates it enters and leaves. A sign that appears twice means the planet backed into the previous sign during a retrograde and crossed again.
