Venus retrograde in 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 Cancer season and ends in
Virgo season.

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 2023
Venus through the zodiac in 2023
Every sign Venus occupies during 2023, 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.
