When Venus, the planet of love, beauty and relationships, turns retrograde, the universe calls us to a period of reassessment. Relationships, finances, values and desires enter a phase of revision as what we have taken for granted takes on a new dimension. This retrograde begins in dynamic and impulsive Aries from 2 March, enters Pisces Pisces on 27 March and then enters a direct course on 13 April, leaving Aries completely for 2025. It brings to the fore old loves, open affairs and unexpected reconnections. Aries, Libras, Sagittarians and Gemini in the 1st Decan will be at the center of these developments, with situations calling for answers and people returning for another round.
As Venus moves back into Pisces, romance reaches its most dreamy version, but also its most deceptive. Pisces is the sign of fantasy, sacrifice and emotional dissolution - Venus’ return here touches on old dreams and emotional wounds, and brings the illusion that something unfulfilled can be completed. The aspects she will form are intense: her conjunction with the North Node, Neptune and Saturn creates a mystical atmosphere where karmic relationships find their way, but illusions become dangerous. However, her trine to Mars at the end of retrograde will be one of the most erotic aspects of the year, providing opportunities for deep union for Cancers, Capricorns, Pisces and Virgo in the third decanate.

Predictions for the Zodiac Signs
Aries
The mirrors of the past are shattered, and through the fragments emerge images of old relationships, desires left in the middle and situations that had not been given definitive answers. People who once fascinated you return, not always with clear intentions. You feel you have an unpaid emotional debt, but beware: is it worth reliving what made you leave? The choices you make now will determine whether you get trapped in a vicious cycle or close chapters that keep you stagnant.
When Venus moves into Pisces, introversion grows and desires become confused with memories. Dreams, nostalgia and old stories resurface in your mind, making it difficult to distinguish what is real and what belongs to the past. Her conjunction with Neptune prompts you to look at love through an idealistic lens - but is it worth basing your heart on something vague? The trine to Mars at the end of retrograde brings a spark of passion, but only for those who dare to abandon illusions.
Taurus
Relationships are being tested in ways you did not expect, not necessarily through tensions, but through revelations and secrets that are now coming to the surface. People from the past may reappear, but this time things are different - the question is whether they have a place in your life now. At the same time, you feel that some friendships, partnerships or social ties need clearing up. What has been operating in secret is now coming to light.
When Venus enters Pisces Pisces, emotions are sweetened, but also confused. Your friendships and contacts with groups and collectives become a field of emotional confusion. A relationship may develop through a social circle or an old love may return in another form. The trine of Venus and Mars promises intense emotions, but also the need to see clearly what really connects you to the people around you.
Gemini
Love and relationships go through a review phase, with people from the past suddenly appearing and creating emotional turmoil. New acquaintances are coming in, but they don't yet have a clear direction - so don't invest emotionally in something that's in a state of flux. Business contacts may take on a more personal dimension or hide feelings that have not been expressed until now.
Venus in Pisces puts you in a phase of daydreaming and confusion regarding your career and ambitions. You may feel that something you expected is not turning out as you had imagined or that you need to rethink the way you are going about your professional life. The trine to Mars brings tension in career-related relationships or even a secret admirer from your professional environment.
Cancer
What you took for granted in your relationships begins to take on new nuances as Venus retrograde revisits your connections with important people. Old feelings may resurface, while people who played a pivotal role in your life return to remind you of something important. Ties built on solid foundations are tested, but they endure. However, what was built on illusions or dependencies may now come to an end.
With Venus in Pisces, your heart is filled with dreams and expectations. You want to connect deeper, find meaning in your relationships and allow yourself to experience something truly emotional. Travel, knowledge, and even a new philosophy of life can change the way you see love. The trine to Mars brings an intense surge of erotic desire, but also the opportunity to let go of fears that have been holding you back.
Leo
Love takes on a more fatal dimension as Venus retrograde forces you to reflect on whether your heart is where it really wants to be. Some attachments seem to come back out of nowhere, giving you a chance to revisit them from a different perspective. Passions grow stronger, but the need for control also becomes more intense. If a relationship or financial partnership is putting pressure on you, it may be time to ask yourself if it's worth continuing to invest in.
Venus' transition to Pisces brings a more intense emotional and psychic search. Your desires become darker, deeper and less superficial. The trine with Mars brings opportunities for intense emotions, but also a sense that something important is changing within you. If someone touches you deeply, it's no accident - but be careful not to invest in dreams that are not rooted in reality.
Virgo
Relationships become the mirror of your feelings. People from the past return, sometimes to provide answers and sometimes to leave more questions. Venus retrograde in Aries puts you in the process of reviewing your boundaries and realizing who really deserves a place in your life. Whether it's love or business relationships, now is the time to figure out which people are with you for the journey and which ones were just passing through.
With Venus in Pisces, your heart seeks connection, tenderness and understanding. You want to experience the magic of love, but beware of illusions - not all emotions lead somewhere. The trine to Mars gives you the opportunity to strengthen a relationship or meet someone who will touch you more deeply than you think. Strong relationships blossom, while those based on lies or insecurities may fade.
Libra
When Venus is retrograde, especially in your opposite sign, relationships are put through a sieve. The past comes back either through people or through thoughts and situations that were not definitively closed. A love affair you thought was over may come knocking at your door, but this time you have the experience to figure out if it's worth giving it a second chance. Your partnerships also need attention, as a deal may need to be reworked.
When Venus moves into Pisces, your daily life takes on a more emotional tone. Work, health and your routines become an area of significant development. This may be the time to take more care of yourself, bring more harmony into your life and follow a more creative path. The trine to Mars brings passion to relationships that may not have been expressed before - something is born where you least expect it.
Scorpio
Your heart is playing games with your mind. Venus retrograde is making you go back to relationships that once defined you, but now you need to look at them with a more realistic eye. A return from the past can stir up strong emotions, but the question is: have things changed or are you just repeating the same pattern? Your working relationships also need attention, as revisions or ambiguities may arise.
When Venus is in Pisces, the feeling becomes more intense and sweeter. Love takes on an almost magical quality, your creative desires flare up and a relationship can enter a new phase. The trine with Mars promises passion and intense moments, but be careful not to indulge in illusions - live the feeling, but keep your eyes open.
Sagittarius
The Venus retrograde shakes up your love stories, bringing returns, unexpected messages and moments that remind you of what was left in the middle. If a relationship from the past is coming back, this time you have the experience to see if it's worth a second chance or if it's just a fond memory. At the same time, your creativity increases, but you need to be careful where you invest your time and energy - not all projects have a future, even if they seem exciting.
When Venus moves into Pisces, your roots become the focus of your attention. Family issues, emotional loose ends or memories from the past come to the surface. You may feel the need to reconnect with a person who gave you a sense of security or make changes in your home. The trine to Mars creates passion, but also a strong desire to find a new sense of stability - either through a relationship or through a decision that will change your personal environment.
Capricorn
The Venus retrograde puts you in a phase of reviewing your relationships and the sense of stability you need. If you feel like something is changing in your environment, it's because the time has come to look at things in a new light. Past situations, family issues or matters concerning your home are coming back to find a solution. Don't ignore what needs your attention - now is the time to make the right changes.
When Venus arrives in Pisces, communication becomes more emotional, but also more blurred. Conversations can have a romantic or nostalgic tinge, but it's important to discern which words have real value. A person from the past may come back through a message or a sudden encounter, and the atmosphere may be reminiscent of a movie. The trine to Mars adds intensity to contacts and can bring a love affair that starts with a seemingly innocent conversation, but develops much deeper than you expected.
Aquarius
Financial matters, partnerships and agreements are revisited as Venus retrograde in Aries brings back unfinished business. It may be a time to reconsider a financial arrangement or a relationship related to your career development. Whatever comes up, don't rush to make decisions - the situation is constantly changing and things will become clearer with Venus righting itself.
With its transition to Pisces, your attention turns to issues of values, financial stability and emotional security. You may feel the need to protect what belongs to you or to claim something you feel you have neglected. The trine to Mars gives passion and intensity to your desires - a relationship may develop more seriously, or a business opportunity may open up new prospects.
Pisces
The Venus retrograde creates an atmosphere of nostalgia, as you feel that some things have not been completed as you would like. People from the past may return, either through an unexpected communication or through thoughts and feelings that overwhelm you. There is no need to rush into decisions - now is the time for review, not action.
When Venus returns to your sign, your charm soars and opportunities for relationships increase. However, the task is not only to attract, but to understand what you really want. Her conjunction with Neptune creates magical moments, but also illusions. The trine with Mars, however, gives you the opportunity to experience intense emotions and discover a new way of expressing yourself - either through love or through a creative experience that renews you.
