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.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 2031

Previous

2030 Ended January 26, 2030 after 41 days, moving back 15.4° through the zodiac.

Next

2033 Begins February 27, 2033 and runs 42 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.
