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 Scorpio season.

  • Uranus in Aquarius — Oct 10 to Nov 4, 2002 (24 days of overlap)

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 2002

Previous

2001 Ended April 20, 2001 after 42 days, moving back 16.27° through the zodiac.

Next

2004 Begins May 17, 2004 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.
