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

  • Uranus in Virgo — Dec 12 to Jan 21, 2046 (41 days of overlap)

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Venus retrogrades either side of 2046

Previous

2044 Ended June 18, 2044 after 43 days, moving back 16.51° through the zodiac.

Next

2047 Begins July 15, 2047 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.
