Venus retrograde in Capricorn

Venus retrograde in Capricorn examines commitment, status and financial security in relationships. Long-term plans are questioned, the cost of love is weighed and old responsibilities return. It suits rebuilding foundations rather than making grand new promises.

It begins in Sagittarius season and ends in Aquarius season.

Also retrograde at the same time

  • Saturn in Taurus — Dec 16 to Jan 19, 2030 (33 days of overlap)
  • Uranus in Gemini — Dec 16 to Jan 26, 2030 (41 days of overlap)
  • Neptune in Aries — Dec 16 to Dec 19, 2029 (2 days of overlap)
  • Mercury in Capricorn — Dec 22 to Jan 11, 2030 (20 days of overlap)

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 2030

Previous

2028 Ended June 22, 2028 after 43 days, moving back 16.51° through the zodiac.

Next

2031 Begins July 20, 2031 and runs 43 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.
