Venus Retrograde: love, values & rewriting the story

On March 1st, Venus begins its retrograde journey in fiery Aries, only to drift back into dreamy Pisces on March 27th. This retrograde lasts until April 12th, making it a powerful time to reevaluate relationships, finances, self-worth, and artistic pursuits.

As Venus moves through Aries and Pisces in retrograde, we are gifted the chance to slow down and reassess our hearts' desires. What needs to be healed? What needs to be released? Let’s see how we can use this period to get more clarity and more aligned connections

Venus retrograde themes

✨ In Aries (March 1 - March 27): The focus is on independence, passion, and prioritization of our desires. We may revisit past conflicts or question whether we’ve been too impulsive (or not bold enough) in love and money matters. There may be a strong urge to break free from outdated attachments 

✨ In Pisces (March 27 - April 12): The energy shifts into a more emotional, intuitive space. We may be drawn to past loves, past creative projects, or even old dreams that once inspired us. It’s a time for emotional reflection, forgiveness, and letting go of the things that no longer serve us

How to navigate Venus Retrograde

💕 Reconnect with your true desires in love and relationships - practice self-love and reflect on your needs. You can try for example journaling or meditation

💕 Reignite old creative passions - paint, write, dance, express yourself

💕Review your finances and spending habits - are they aligned with your values? Are they impulsive?

💕 Trust the process - retrogrades are about reflection, not immediate action. Reflect on past relationships and patterns.  Notice what’s resurfacing and ask yourself why

Natal Venus in retrograde

If you were born during Venus retrograde, this transit might feel a bit different! Since you’re already used to Venusian energy functioning in a more introspective, unconventional, or deeply personal way, Venus retrograde in the sky may not be as disruptive for you as it is for others. In fact, it can sometimes bring clarity or even a sense of alignment. You may feel at home with this energy, feel more abundant and willing to open your heart.

Venus retrograde isn’t here to ruin our love lives or finances - it’s here to help us realign with what truly matters. By the time Venus moves direct we’ll (hopefully 😉) have a clearer sense of what (and who) is worth our energy.
