Jupiter in 2026: What It Means for Your Zodiac Sign
9 min read
Venus retrograde is rarer than Mercury retrograde — occurring only once every 18 months — and its effects on love, money, and self-worth are profound. When Venus appears to move backward in the sky, our values, relationships, and financial decisions all come under a cosmic microscope.
Venus Retrograde 2026: Dates and the Sign Affected
Venus turns retrograde in 2026 in a sign that governs communication and connection, creating a period of deep reflection on how we express love, what we value, and whether our relationships truly reflect our authentic selves. The retrograde period lasts approximately 40 days, during which Venus appears to move backward through the zodiac before stationing direct and resuming its forward motion.

What Venus Retrograde Means for Love
During Venus retrograde, the romantic landscape becomes complex and introspective. Past lovers frequently reappear — sometimes for closure, sometimes for a genuine second chance. New relationships started during Venus retrograde often feel intense and fated but may not survive the retrograde's end. Existing relationships are put under a magnifying glass, revealing both their strengths and their unresolved tensions.
What Venus Retrograde Means for Money
Venus also rules money, luxury, and material values. During its retrograde, financial decisions deserve extra scrutiny. Overspending on luxury items, making impulsive investments, or entering new financial partnerships during Venus retrograde often leads to regret. This is, however, an excellent time to review your budget, reassess your relationship with money, and consider whether your spending reflects your true values.
