Venus in 2019: a year between two loops

544 days separate the end of one Venus retrograde from the start of the next, and 2019 falls entirely inside that stretch. Venus turns back once every 583.92 days — longer than a calendar year — and each loop is over in weeks, so now and then a whole year passes between two of them.

The loops themselves are on the 2018 and 2020 pages.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 2019

Previous

2018 Ended November 16, 2018 after 42 days, moving back 15.6° through the zodiac.

Next

2020 Begins May 13, 2020 and runs 43 days.

Gap across 2019

1.5 years between the two — long enough for a whole calendar year to fall inside it with nothing to report.

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 2019

Venus through the zodiac in 2019

Every sign Venus occupies during 2019, with the dates it enters and leaves. A sign that appears twice means the planet backed into the previous sign during a retrograde and crossed again.
