Venus Retrograde occurs every 18 months and lasts for 6 weeks.
When any planet is retrograde, it is an invitation to review those themes that the planet rules. When it comes to Venus, it's time to review your relationship with others, your money, and yourself.
This is seen as a not great time for renovations, redecorating, getting married, or any changes to your physical appearance, as those are all things that fall under the Venus umbrella.

This Venus Retrograde is in Capricorn.
For all of us, that means that we'll be dealing with Venus in Capricorn themes: structure, tradition, authority. We become focused on heart-based commitment and long-term and long-lasting relationships. Our values are heightened with Venus in Capricorn and we crave to be soul and heart aligned with the work we are doing in the world.
Venus Retrograde Horoscopes
Aries Rising:During this time your reputation weighs heavy on your mind. Use this time to evaluate your goals and what you truly see success as, instead of chasing the visions of others.You may find that your definition of success, or even the goals you had set for yourself a year or two ago, has shifted and needs to be reevaluated.
Taurus Rising: Over the next few weeks, you may find that what used to bring you joy and satisfaction no longer carries the same amount of weight. You may feel generally dissatisfied as you go about discovering what you’re looking for. Chase what brings you joy instead of looking for it where it used to be. Be okay with being a little bit uncomfortable as you rediscover your joy.
Gemini Rising: During this time you may find yourself revisiting your past and finding that the improvements you thought you were making for the better, actually are holding you back. Take time to revisit what worked well for you in the past and evaluate if it could help carry you forward. If you suffer from Shiny Object Syndrome, where you get enraptured by the latest and greatest, you might feel this transit more heavily, as it likes to point out where the older version worked just fine, and actually served you better.
Cancer Rising: Over the next few weeks you may feel stuck in a rut when it comes to your most intimate relationships. Evaluate if you’re honoring your boundaries and speaking up for what you want. We all can get stuck in a routine and habit when it comes to our relationships, and this transit helps us look at exactly where that has occurred and offers us the opportunity to find new rhythms to work with.
Leo Rising: Over the next few weeks, you may be overwhelmed by the daily tasks that we all have to get done. If you’re feeling like you’re facing the mundane task mountain alone, take a look at if you’re clearly asking for help. Find new and creative ways to go about your daily routines and habits. Shake things up and see what feels good. You may find that some parts of your routine are just no longer needed.

Now is the time to make any adjustments or refinements to your appearance.
