Venus Retrograde 2025

Mark your calendars, as the the love and money planet Venus is going retrograde and this is set to begin on March 2, 2025 and will continue until April 13, 2025, from Aries to 24° Pisces. This cosmic event occurs when Venus appears to move backward through the zodiac from our perspective on Earth. This Venus retrograde period offers an opportunity for reflection, refinement and reassessment in the areas of love, money and values.

What to Expect During Venus Retrograde

Aries / Pisces

Venus will retrograde in the two signs of Aries and Pisces.

Money and Love

Venus retrograde periods can feel like cosmic slowdowns in matters of the heart and finances.

Relationships Revisited

Old flames, long-lost friends, or unresolved conflicts may resurface. Use this time to gain closure or clarity rather than reigniting the past. You may find yourself revisiting old relationships or reflecting on how you communicate your desires and values to others. Expect moments of nostalgia, especially with friendships or romantic partnerships that have unfinished business.

Financial Reflection

Venus governs not only love but also money. Re-evaluate your spending habits, investment strategies and financial goals. Avoid major purchases or signing contracts during this time, as decisions may need revising later.

Redefining Beauty and Values

How you view beauty in yourself, in others, or in your surroundings may shift. You might feel inspired to reassess your style, redecorate your space, or rethink what truly brings you joy.
