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

  • Pluto in Sagittarius — Mar 18 to Apr 20, 2001 (33 days of overlap)

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 2001

Previous

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

Next

2002 Begins October 10, 2002 and runs 42 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.

Computed for 2001
