What Venus retrograde means in 2041
In astrology Venus stands for love, attraction, values and money. Venus retrograde is read as a review of relationships, taste and spending: past partners and unfinished conversations come back, and what you thought you wanted is tested against what you value. In Aries the subject is independence, initiative, courage and how you start things. In Pisces the subject is faith, compassion, imagination and endings.
Who notices it most. For Feb 25 – Apr 8, 2041 astrologers look first at people with the Sun, Moon, rising sign or personal planets from 20° Pisces to 6° Aries, and at the matching degrees of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Everyone else can read it through the house it falls in, below.
What to do
Revisit a budget, have the conversation you postponed and let new connections develop slowly. Leave optional, hard-to-reverse choices (a big purchase, a drastic new look, making a brand-new relationship official) until Venus is direct. The longer guide, with the astronomy and the reading of a natal Venus retrograde, is on the Venus retrograde page.
Venus retrograde Feb 25 – Apr 8, 2041 for each sign
Read your rising sign first if you know it, since it sets the houses; then your Sun sign. Houses are counted from your sign in whole-sign style. The birthdays show whose Sun the retrograde touches directly: Venus covers 20° Pisces to 6° Aries, and the Sun moves about one degree a day, so the dates are approximate.
Aries: 1st house, then 12th
Until Mar 15 (Aries), 1st house: your body, identity and how you come across. You question your look, your style and what you want from love, and the wish for a makeover is strong. What to do: try changes you can undo, and get clear on what you want before you ask someone else for it.
From Mar 15 (Pisces), 12th house: rest, solitude, endings and what you keep private. Private feelings, a secret attraction, old heartache that was never closed. What to do: let yourself grieve or forgive in private, and wait before acting on a hidden attraction.
Strongest for Aries born around March 20–27 (Sun at 0°–6°): Venus retrogrades over your Sun.
Taurus: 12th house, then 11th
Until Mar 15 (Aries), 12th house: rest, solitude, endings and what you keep private. Private feelings, a secret attraction, old heartache that was never closed. What to do: let yourself grieve or forgive in private, and wait before acting on a hidden attraction.
From Mar 15 (Pisces), 11th house: friends, groups and long-term hopes. Friendships are re-evaluated: who shows up, who you outgrew, a friend who became something more or less. What to do: reconnect with a friend you miss, and stop paying, in time or money, for circles that give nothing back.
