Buckle up—Venus is going retrograde in Aries this weekend, and this transit is set to shake up our relationships, self-worth, and desires in a bold, unapologetic way.
Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and values, doesn’t feel entirely at home in Aries’ fiery and impulsive energy. And when she retrogrades? Expect deep revelations, course corrections, and possibly a few unexpected twists in matters of the heart.
Let’s dive into the energetic significance of this transit and how it may affect each rising sign.
The Energetic Significance of Venus Retrograde in Aries
Venus retrograde happens about every 18 months, and when it does, it asks us to pause, reflect, and reassess our relationships, finances, and personal values.
In Aries, a sign known for its independence, passion, and directness, this retrograde can bring up themes around self-worth and confidence, love and independence, passion versus impulse, revisiting past relationships and redefining beauty and attraction.
During this transit, ask yourself:
Are you settling for less than you deserve in love or career?
Do you lose yourself in relationships, or do you push love away out of fear?
Are you acting from true desire, or are old patterns clouding your judgment?
Old flames may resurface, but is it for closure or rekindling?
How do you express yourself, and does it align with your authentic self?
This transit isn’t about immediate action—it’s about slowing down and getting real with yourself before making major emotional or financial decisions.
Retrogrades ask us to look within first before we seek external validation.
