…and back into Capricorn

Venus retrograde in Capricorn examines commitment, status and financial security in relationships. Long-term plans are questioned, the cost of love is weighed and old responsibilities return. It suits rebuilding foundations rather than making grand new promises.

It begins in Capricorn season and ends in Aquarius season.

Also retrograde at the same time

  • Saturn in Leo — Dec 24 to Feb 3, 2006 (41 days of overlap)

For the sign itself, see Aquarius and its daily horoscope.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 2006

Previous

2004 Ended June 29, 2004 after 43 days, moving back 16.51° through the zodiac.

Next

2007 Begins July 27, 2007 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.

Computed for 2006
