Venus Retrograde Begins
Over the next few weeks, old feelings and unresolved money questions can return. Avoid defining a new relationship or making a large purchase until your priorities settle.
In detail
Venus retrograde begins when its geocentric ecliptic speed changes from positive to negative at a station. The cycle lasts about forty days and recurs roughly every eighteen months. Venus governs attachment, value, taste, and spending, so the reversal turns those judgments inward and brings prior relationships or financial choices back for review. The direct station begins resolution; this one begins reassessment.
FAQ
- What does Venus retrograde affect?
- It brings old questions in relationships, taste, and money habits back into view. Venus retrograde lasts about forty days and returns roughly every eighteen months. New romance, major purchases, and important value judgments do not need an immediate answer; record what resurfaces, then review the budget and expectations.
- Can I start a relationship or make a big purchase during Venus retrograde?
- It is not an absolute prohibition, but old feelings and preferences can distort a new romance or major purchase during the roughly forty-day period. The personal chart can change the emphasis, so write down the price, return terms, and actual need before committing.
