Venus in 2000: a year between two loops

545 days separate the end of one Venus retrograde from the start of the next, and 2000 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 loops themselves are on the 1999 and 2001 pages.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 2000

Previous

1999 Ended September 11, 1999 after 43 days, moving back 16.34° through the zodiac.

Next

2001 Begins March 9, 2001 and runs 42 days.

Gap across 2000

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 2000, 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.
