Venus Retrograde in Aries & Pisces Influence – March 1st – April 13th, 2025
Venus the goddess of beauty, love, relationships, money and pleasure starts its retrograde cycle initiating a profound period of reflection and recalibration from March 1st to April 13th, 2025. Beginning at 10° Aries and journeying backward to 24° Pisces, this retrograde invites us to reassess our emotional landscape, realign with our true desires, and reconsider what we value most. There’s no coincidence that Venus is retrograde for aprox. 40 days as 40 is a sacred number in pretty much every religion and is usually associated with fulfilment of promises, but only after a period of testing, trial and challenges – the 40 days trial Jesus had in the dessert fasting and fighting his demons, 40 years that Moses spent in the dessert after fleeing Egypt to the promised land and so on.
Venus retrograde periods are times when we re-assess what and who we value. It can totally feel like a difficult transit, as we humans are generally wired to avoid having to deal with unfinished business and this is certainly what Venus Retrograde can bring to the table: past lovers (including past lives lovers), old friends, or repeating patterns in your relationships.
For those in existing relationships, uncomfortable truths can come to the surface. Things that the couple avoided dealing with will take a higher stand asking for immediate resolution or acceptance. Also, long term decisions such as marriage, divorce, pregnancy, buying an expensive asset, or making any long-term commitment should be carefully considered as we cannot have an objective view on the situation and mistakes that could have been avoided (if we had been cautious) might manifest and cost us a lot to repair after the veil of this transit lifts up.
In general, this transit can trigger a deep subconscious wound of buying things that we don’t need: things can look shiny on the outside but rotten on the inside so avoid buying very expensive gifts. In other words, during this phase illusion is real – whatever you see might not be. So, in order to avoid being taken over by it, proceed with caution (testing and one step at a time) with any decision one must take during this period.
Venus is the natural ruler of both Taurus and Libra thus, people with strong placements in these signs, will be the most influenced and triggered by this transit as well as all the cardinal & mutable signs: i.e Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn then Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.
Let’s explore the deeper themes of Venus Retrograde 2025 and how this celestial event may influence our relationships, finances, and self-worth.
What Happens During Venus Retrograde?
When Venus moves retrograde, the energy of love, relationships, money, and values turns inward. This is a time for deep reflection, healing past wounds, and resolving unresolved emotional patterns.
💫 Revisiting the Past – Old relationship themes may resurface, offering a chance for closure or deeper understanding.
💫 Emotional Healing – Hidden wounds related to love, self-worth, and intimacy may come to light.
💫 Reassessing Values – We may find ourselves questioning what (and who) truly aligns with our heart’s desires.
💫 Financial Awareness – Venus rules money, so we may uncover financial imbalances or reconsider our investments.
Because retrogrades often illuminate what needs to change, this period can bring endings, breakthroughs, and revelations, ultimately leading to a more authentic expression of love and self-worth.
Venus will move through two distinct zodiac signs during this retrograde—Aries and Pisces—each bringing unique lessons and energetic shifts.
Venus Retrograde in Aries (March 1st – 27th, 2025)
Venus begins her retrograde in fiery Aries, a sign known for its independence, passion, and strong-willed nature. This phase will highlight:
🔥 Courage in Love – We are challenged to take bold steps in relationships but must avoid impulsivity.
🔥 Ego vs. Heart – Arguments and power struggles may arise, pushing us to examine whether we’re acting from love or pride.
🔥 Passion & Desire – Reconnecting with what truly excites and motivates us in love, creativity, and career.
🔥 Self-Worth & Boundaries – Learning to stand strong in our personal needs without becoming overly self-focused.
Venus in Aries can ignite our passions but also test our patience—this is a time for self-awareness, not hasty decisions.
Venus Retrograde in Pisces (March 28th – April 13th, 2025)
As Venus moves back into dreamy and intuitive Pisces, the energy softens, deepens, and turns inward. This phase brings:
🌊 Heightened Sensitivity – Emotions become more fluid, and we may feel deeply connected (or disconnected) from those around us.
🌊 Romantic & Spiritual Reflection – Old love wounds may resurface, offering an opportunity for deep healing.
🌊 Illusions vs. Truth – Are we seeing relationships clearly, or are we projecting fantasies and hopes?
🌊 Energy Protection – It’s essential to be mindful of who we share our heart and energy with.
