Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and values, turns retrograde from March 2nd to April 13th, bringing a period of reflection, realignment, and deep emotional reassessment. When Venus moves backward, it’s not about external action but internal awareness-an invitation to reconsider what truly holds worth in our relationships, finances, and self-esteem.
This retrograde is a time of intense emotional excavation. You may feel drawn to revisiting past relationships, old financial habits, or long-forgotten creative passions. If unresolved emotions from the past resurface, pay attention—there’s a lesson here. Venus retrograde has a way of exposing the unspoken and unhealed, pushing you to acknowledge what you’ve ignored.
Expect shifts in relationships. If something has been built on shaky foundations, cracks may appear. This transit asks: Are your connections based on authentic love and appreciation, or convenience and comfort? This period can bring the return of an old flame, but tread carefully, sometimes Venus retrograde brings back the past, not for reconciliation but for closure.
Money matters also take centre stage. Are you valuing yourself correctly? Are you undercharging, overspending, or relying on fleeting pleasures rather than long-term security? Venus retrograde pulls you into a reflective space, showing where you need to adjust your approach to wealth and abundance.
Creativity and aesthetics take an introspective turn. You may rethink your personal style, artistic pursuits, or even home decor, but this is not the best time for drastic makeovers. Instead, focus on rediscovering what truly resonates with you rather than chasing trends or external validation.
By the time Venus stations direct on April 13th, you’ll have a deeper understanding of your emotional needs, financial worth, and personal desires. Let this retrograde strip away illusions, so you emerge clearer, more empowered, and aligned with what – and who – truly matters.
