Venus enters retrograde just after the month of love concludes. The retrograde cycle of the planet linked to love, money, pleasure, and luxury starts on March 1 and ends on April 12.
Venus has a consistent pattern of retrograding returning to the same sign of the zodiac every eight years. Before Venus stations direct at 24° Pisces, it will retrograde this time around at 10° Aries, taking us back to the spring of 2017.
Now, it’s critical to recognize that although Venus retrogrades are typically a little unfortunate for our romantic lives, they do not necessarily portend the end of your partnership. Naturally, difficulties may get more apparent at this time, but if you and your spouse have established a strong foundation, you won’t be thrown off course.
It is crucial to remember that the early part of this retrograde cycle is probably going to be more difficult than the second half. Why? Venus despises her position in Aries.
Aries is combative, erratic, and determined, but Venus, who is peaceful and harmonious, wants to give everyone equal amounts of love and prosperity. Native people are frequently quite sexually and romantically upfront, either initiating contact or choosing to assume a more male or dominant position in relationships.
Venus, on the other hand, is happy and excessively romantic—even delusional—when in Pisces. People who are born with Venus in Pisces are frequently referred to as the zodiac’s manic pixie dream girls because they are free-spirited and creative individuals who draw people to them. Idealism and excessive romanticization are prevalent.
If you had any important relationships start or end in the middle of 2017, you may remember that the vibe in the two sections of this retrograde time is very different. If themes, events, and yes, ex-partners, resurface in your life around this time, don’t be shocked. Whether or not you choose to indulge them is completely up to you.
Since Venus is in charge of hair, makeup, and fashion, we may get a sense of what might be coming back by examining the fashions of past Aries Venus retrograde cycles. 2017 was the most recent, followed by 2009, 2001, and 1993.
Since Pisces and Aries dominate distinct areas of each person’s horoscope, how this cycle plays out for you is very personal. According to the two houses affected during the retrograde cycle, the following affirmations were composed.
