Venus retrograde
Venus is retrograde now, until 14 Nov 2026 (38 days left).
Revisit what you value, in love, money and beauty.
Venus rules love, beauty, pleasure and what we value. Its retrograde is rare and invites you to look at your relationships and your spending with honest, gentle eyes.
Old feelings may come back, and so may people from your past. It's a time to ask what truly brings you joy, rather than starting something brand new.
Once every 18 months, for about six weeks.
A good time for
- Honest talks about a relationship
- Rediscovering old hobbies and favourite things
- Reviewing your budget and what you value
Go gently with
- Big, sudden changes to your look
- Rushing into a new relationship
- Expensive luxury purchases
