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.

…and back into Libra

Venus retrograde in Libra, one of its home signs, focuses on partnership balance and fairness. Couples reassess give and take, contracts are renegotiated and aesthetic choices are reconsidered. It suits restoring harmony rather than starting new partnerships.

It begins in Libra season and ends in Scorpio season.

Also retrograde at the same time

  • Jupiter in Aries — Oct 8 to Nov 18, 2010 (41 days of overlap)
  • Uranus in Aries — Oct 8 to Nov 18, 2010 (42 days of overlap)
  • Neptune in Aquarius — Oct 8 to Nov 7, 2010 (30 days of overlap)

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 2010

Previous

2009 Ended April 17, 2009 after 42 days, moving back 16.26° through the zodiac.

Next

2012 Begins May 15, 2012 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.
