Themes & Energies
Venus, the planet of love, relationships, beauty, money, pleasure, and values, turns retrograde approximately every 18 months. This cycle pushes us to reevaluate and realign our desires, self-worth, and how we connect with others.
In Aries (March 1 – April 3, 2025), Venus retrograde highlights independence, passion, and self-love. Aries is fiery, bold, and headstrong, meaning we might:
Question our relationship dynamics—are they balanced, or is one person too dominant?
Confront issues around self-worth, confidence, and how we assert our needs in love.
Experience themes of impulsive romances, past lovers reappearing, and rekindling old flames.
As Venus moves back into Pisces (April 3 – April 12, 2025), the energy shifts to dreaminess, nostalgia, and deep emotional healing. Pisces is romantic but also prone to illusions, so:
We might idealize past relationships or struggle with letting go of old fantasies.
Deep emotional or spiritual healing in love may take place.
Boundaries can feel blurred—be mindful of deception, self-sacrifice, or unhealthy attachments.
