Venus, the planet of love, attachment, aesthetics, and assets, will begin its retrograde motion on March 1st, marking a period of significant introspection and reassessment. This cosmic event will impact individuals' relationships, personal values, and self-worth, offering a powerful opportunity for renewed personal growth and fulfillment. The retrograde will first occur in Aries, a cardinal sign known for its fiery and individualistic nature. As Venus moves backward—or appears to do so—its effects will be felt most intensely by the cardinal signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.
Planets do not actually move backward in space; instead, they slow down, creating the illusion of reversal. During this time, Venus's influence on romantic relationships, material possessions, and personal style becomes more profound. Its proximity to Earth makes its retrograde cycles acutely impactful on human experiences surrounding wealth and worth.
For Aries, this retrograde lights up their first house of the self. It prompts a critical reassessment of self-image and personal identity. Relationships from the past may resurface, urging individuals to resolve lingering emotions and learn from previous experiences.
“This prompts a critical reassessment of self-image and personal identity, urging you to align your outer actions with your inner desires. Relationships from the past may reemerge, challenging you to resolve past emotions and finally learn the lesson. You must resist impulsive decisions about appearances or new relationships and focus instead on your deeper self-understanding.” – Neda
Capricorns will feel the retrograde's effects in their fourth house of roots, nourishment, nostalgia, and ancestry. This period serves as a time for reflection on family relationships, resetting boundaries, or healing old wounds.
“It’s a period for reflecting on family relationships and possibly resetting boundaries or healing old wounds. Emotional well-being should be your priority, with an emphasis on nurturing. Use this time to transform your home and make it the most peaceful haven it can be!” – Neda
Libra faces a unique challenge during this retrograde as Venus rules their sign. The backspin affects their seventh house of partnerships, commitments, and contracts. Libras may find themselves reflecting deeply on the balance and fulfillment within their relationships.
“This period will prompt you to reflect deeply on the balance and fulfillment within your relationships. You may find old flames or friendships rekindling, offering closure or new perspectives. Listen carefully- Libras must avoid major commitments or relationship changes until the retrograde passes. Focus instead on achieving mutual understanding and respect.” – Neda
For Cancers, the retrograde occurs in their tenth house of profession, legacy, and public perception. This period calls for prioritizing self-care while exercising financial caution and maintaining open communication with loved ones.
Venus's transition into Pisces on March 27th marks a shift into a more mystical phase before it stations direct on April 12th. This latter phase encourages deeper emotional introspection and creativity.
