A New Invitation for Love & Abundance
Venus — the planet of love, relationships, pleasure, beauty, creativity, abundance, attraction and self-worth — goes retrograde approximately every 18 months, inviting us to turn inward and reconsider what we truly value.
She will journey for 40 days and 40 nights, from October 3rd to November 13th, as the celestial creatrix descends into the underworld, moving through the deep, watery and transformational waters of Scorpio before returning to the caring, creative, relational and balancing energy of Libra. This powerful journey invites us inward to explore desire, intimacy, relationships, reciprocity, values and what feels genuinely worthy of our time, energy, love and devotion.
When Venus retrogrades, our systems of attraction, relationship and value don’t collapse — they turn inward. We are invited to pause, reflect and recalibrate. Venus retrograde is less about loss and more about re-evaluation: becoming more conscious about where we place our love, time, energy, money and attention, and whether those choices are aligned with who we are becoming.
Venus Retrograde in Scorpio
October 3 – October 25, 2026
Venus begins her retrograde journey in Scorpio, taking us beneath the surface and into the deeper layers of desire, intimacy, trust, attachment, power and emotional exchange. Old relational patterns may resurface — not necessarily to rekindle the past, but to reveal something that is ready to be seen differently. Buried desires, unspoken agreements, emotional imbalances and patterns of fear, control or obligation may come into awareness. Scorpio invites us to become radically honest about what we truly desire and what we are no longer willing to tolerate. Not every desire needs to be acted upon; sometimes it simply needs to be acknowledged, witnessed and understood.
Venus Retrograde in Libra
October 25 – November 13, 2026
As Venus retrogrades back into Libra — her home sign — the focus shifts toward balance, harmony, fairness, reciprocity and shared values. We may become more aware of where we have been over-giving, over-accommodating or avoiding difficult conversations to keep the peace. This phase also invites us to reconsider our relationship with money, beauty, creativity, pleasure and abundance. What once felt satisfying may no longer feel aligned, while something we previously overlooked may reveal its true value. Libra Venus retrograde is not about blame. It is about rebalancing the scales and making choices that reflect our current values rather than old expectations.
A New Invitation for Love & Abundance
This Venus retrograde offers an opportunity to redefine what love and abundance mean to you. Not simply abundance as having more, but abundance as being connected to the experience of enough — enough love, pleasure, support, time, beauty, resources, and trust in yourself.
In ancient astrology, a retrograde planet was understood as descending into the underworld, entering a period of darkness, reflection, and transformation. Venus invites us into this inner journey so we can meet the parts of ourselves and our relationships that are waiting to be seen, understood, and reclaimed.
Together, we will explore love, desire, self-worth, pleasure, relationships, values, receiving and abundance, creating space to listen more deeply to what is changing within us.
