Venus retrograde in 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 Libra season and ends in Sagittarius season.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 1986

Previous

1985 Ended April 25, 1985 after 42 days, moving back 16.29° through the zodiac.

Next

1988 Begins May 22, 1988 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.
