…and back into Leo

Venus retrograde in Leo revisits romance, pleasure and pride. Past lovers resurface, creative passions demand another look, and questions of being admired versus being loved come up. Traditionally a poor time for dramatic makeovers and a good one for renewing affection that has gone quiet.

It begins in Leo season and ends in Virgo season.

Also retrograde at the same time

  • Saturn in Sagittarius — Jul 25 to Aug 2, 2015 (8 days of overlap)
  • Neptune in Pisces — Jul 25 to Sep 6, 2015 (43 days of overlap)
  • Pluto in Capricorn — Jul 25 to Sep 6, 2015 (43 days of overlap)
  • Uranus in Aries — Jul 26 to Sep 6, 2015 (42 days of overlap)

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 2015

Previous

2014 Ended January 31, 2014 after 41 days, moving back 15.43° through the zodiac.

Next

2017 Begins March 4, 2017 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.
