Venus retrograde

16 July 2047 Tuesday · 22°06′ Leo

Venus stays retrograde until 28 August 2047.

When a planet turns retrograde it appears to move backwards in the sky as seen from Earth. In astrology this is a time to go back and review that planet's matters rather than push ahead: good for finishing what was left half done, talking again with old contacts and correcting plans.

Venus rules love, relationships, pleasure, money and what we value. During Venus retrograde old relationships may resurface and values are questioned; it is best to postpone big purchases, cosmetic changes and rushing into a new relationship.

What this Venus retrograde means for each sign

The effect of each event on your sign is read from the house the event's sign falls in, counted from your own sign. A full moon in Gemini, for example, is in the 3rd house for Aries and brings 3rd house matters such as communication and your close circle to the fore. Read your Sun sign first; if you know your rising sign, its reading will tell you a lot too.

Aries 5th house
