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.

Gap across 2042

3.1 years between the two — long enough for a whole calendar year to fall inside it with nothing to report.

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.
