Venus retrograde in Aries
Venus retrograde in Aries brings impatience in love to the surface. Impulsive attractions cool, old conflicts with partners reopen, and people reconsider what they fought for. It is traditionally better for reflecting on desire than for chasing a new one.
…and back into Pisces
Venus retrograde in Pisces softens boundaries and stirs nostalgia. Idealized memories of past relationships return, forgiveness is tested, and spending on escape rises. It suits compassion and creative work, and it warns against rekindling something only because it once felt like a dream.
It begins in Pisces season and ends in
Aries season.
Also retrograde at the same time
Mercury
in Aries —
Mar 15 to Apr 7, 2025 (23 days of overlap)
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 2025
Venus through the zodiac in 2025
Every sign Venus occupies during 2025, 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.
