The August loop up close, shadow to shadow

…and back into Leo

Venus retrograde in Leo revisits romance, pleasure and pride. Past lovers resurface, creative passions demand another look, and questions of being admired versus being loved come up. Traditionally a poor time for dramatic makeovers and a good one for renewing affection that has gone quiet.

It begins in Leo season and ends in Virgo season.

Also retrograde at the same time

Neptune in Sagittarius — Aug 6 to Aug 21, 1975 (15 days of overlap)
Jupiter in Aries — Aug 14 to Sep 18, 1975 (34 days of overlap)

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 1975

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.
