The October loop up close, shadow to shadow

Venus retrograde in Scorpio
Venus retrograde in Scorpio intensifies questions of trust, jealousy and shared money. Hidden feelings come out, old betrayals are revisited and financial entanglements need reviewing. Traditionally a time for honest reckoning in relationships rather than new commitments.
…and back into Libra
Venus retrograde in Libra, one of its home signs, focuses on partnership balance and fairness. Couples reassess give and take, contracts are renegotiated and aesthetic choices are reconsidered. It suits restoring harmony rather than starting new partnerships.
It begins in Libra season and ends in
Scorpio 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.

Venus through the zodiac in 2026
Every sign Venus occupies during 2026, 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.
