Venus retrograde in 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 Pisces season and ends in Taurus season.

Also retrograde at the same time

  • Mercury in Pisces — Mar 11 to Mar 22, 1993 (11 days of overlap)
  • Jupiter in Libra — Mar 11 to Apr 22, 1993 (42 days of overlap)
  • Pluto in Scorpio — Mar 11 to Apr 22, 1993 (42 days of overlap)

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 1993

Previous

1991 Ended September 13, 1991 after 43 days, moving back 16.32° through the zodiac.

Next

1994 Begins October 13, 1994 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.
