Venus Retrograde 2025
If Venus retrograde had a tagline, it’d be: “Ready or not, here comes the truth!”
Venus, the planet of love, beauty, pleasure, and money, is taking a cosmic nap (aka retrograding) from March to April 2025, and this is no ordinary celestial event. Venus doesn’t retrograde often - only every 18 months - but when she does, she shakes up relationships, self-worth, and finances like a karmic audit you didn’t know you signed up for.
So, if your love life gets weird, your bank account throws a tantrum, or your ex suddenly reappears with “Hey, you up?” vibes… blame Venus. But also, thank her - because this is the universe’s way of helping you realign with what you truly desire.
🌟 Dates: 2nd March – 13th April 2025 in Aries and Pisces

👀 The Vibe: Fiery self-reclamation meets deep emotional healing
Venus will be backtracking through bold, independent Aries and dreamy, emotional Pisces - a powerful combination that will challenge your confidence, bring up old emotional wounds, and force you to reassess what truly matters.
• Aries energy: Are you standing up for yourself in love and finances? Are you choosing relationships that empower you - or just ones that feel familiar?
• Pisces energy: Where are you ignoring red flags? Are you sacrificing too much for love, or are you finally ready to embrace what feels right on a soul level?
Who Will Feel Venus Retrograde the Most?
While everyone will experience the shake-up, if you have Aries, Pisces, Libra, or Taurus placements in your birth chart, expect some serious love and money revelations.
💖 Aries & Pisces Sun/Rising: Identity and self-worth resets incoming!
💰 Libra & Taurus: Since Venus is your ruling planet, this is a big one—expect shifts in relationships and finances.
🔮 Mutable & Cardinal Signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Cancer): Life is throwing curveballs your way, but it’s leading you to something better.
How to Thrive During Venus Retrograde
Venus retrograde doesn’t have to be scary, think of it as a cosmic reset button for your heart, wallet, and personal glow-up. Here’s how to work with the energy instead of against it:
✨ Don’t rush into major beauty changes. That impulse to dye your hair neon green? Wait until Venus goes direct.
✨ Reassess your relationships. Are they built on love and authenticity—or just habit and convenience?
✨ Pause on big financial decisions. Venus rules money, so this isn’t the best time for major splurges or risky investments.
✨ Expect the past to resurface. Old flames, forgotten friendships, past financial lessons—they’re all coming back for closure or clarity.
✨ Focus on self-love & self-worth. Venus retrograde asks: Are you treating yourself the way you deserve?
