Venus retrograde in 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.

  • Jupiter in Cancer — Dec 21 to Jan 31, 2014 (41 days of overlap)

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 2013

Previous

2012 Ended June 27, 2012 after 43 days, moving back 16.5° through the zodiac.

Next

2015 Begins July 25, 2015 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.
