16 Sep Venus Retrograde in Aries and Pisces: March 2nd – April 13th, 2025
by Tiffany Harelik, MA, RYT
Venus retrogrades March 2nd to April 13th, 2025. It moves from Aries to Pisces during the retrograde cycle.
Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and relationships, goes retrograde from March 2nd to April 13th, 2025, bringing a period of reflection in matters of the heart. Starting in Aries and dipping back Pisces, this retrograde emphasizes a reassessment of our values, desires, and the connections we form over the next 42 days. Venus acts like a mini Mars while retrograde, bringing energy for you to resolve relationship and financial issues.
Reevaluate. Resolve. Recharge.
What to do:
- Reflect on relationships honestly – observing what is working and what isn’t leads either to the end of a cycle, or towards a deeper romantic union
- Reconnect with old friends/lovers – relive the glory days, or heal what needs mending
- Review your finances – take an honest assessment of your budget and financial stewardship
- Accept people for who they are. Stop fighting/trying to make them something they aren’t
- Hug at least 30 seconds, several times a day – make heart to heart connections
- Let go of selfish tendencies – where can you be of service to someone else?
What not to do:
- Make drastic changes to your appearance and style (hair cuts, clothing, etc.)
- Make dramatic decisions around love and money
- Gossip: loose lips sink ships
- Start arguments and engage in conflicts
Venus Retrograde Dates
- March 2nd: Venus retrogrades at 10° Aries, stirring a fiery reevaluation of how we assert ourselves in love and friendships.
- March 27th: Venus re-enters Pisces, softening the energy, encouraging healing, forgiveness, and deep emotional reflection.
- April 13th: Venus stations direct at 24° Pisces, marking a time to move forward with new clarity and emotional understanding.
Horoscope for Each Zodiac Sign
Aries
Expect challenges in love, especially around March 2nd, when Venus retrogrades in your sign. You’ll need to rethink how you show affection. Don’t rush into impulsive decisions—use this time to heal emotional wounds.
Taurus
Your ruling planet, Venus, is retrograde, making this a deeply introspective time for you. Pay attention to unresolved issues in your friendships and social circles. When Venus re-enters Pisces, you may feel a pull to reconnect with old friends or community groups.
Gemini
Venus retrograde asks you to reassess your career relationships. Are you forming bonds with people who share your values? By April, you may feel more aligned with your professional goals after reflecting on your true desires.
Cancer
This retrograde sparks a spiritual and philosophical reevaluation. You might question your beliefs about love and compassion. When Venus moves back into Pisces, you could feel the need to escape into art, music, or meditation to process these feelings.
Leo
Venus retrograde urges you to rethink how you share resources in relationships. You might need to renegotiate financial or emotional investments with a partner. By April, clarity will come, and you’ll know where to give and where to draw boundaries.
Virgo
Relationship dynamics come under the microscope during this retrograde. Venus’ movement through your partnership sector urges you to reassess what you truly need from others. By the time Venus goes direct, you’ll have clearer expectations in love.
Libra
As Venus is your ruling planet, this retrograde is a significant time for you. You may experience a slowdown in your daily routine or health habits, forcing you to reflect on how you balance work and self-care. A softer, more intuitive approach will emerge when Venus re-enters Pisces.

Venus retrograde could stir old romantic feelings or bring past lovers back into your life. It’s a time to reflect on whether you’ve truly moved on. By April, you’ll find closure or a renewed sense of passion, depending on what your heart needs.

Home and family are the focus of this retrograde. You may need to revisit old family issues or reevaluate your living situation. Once Venus enters Pisces, you’ll feel drawn to nurture your emotional foundation, finding new ways to create comfort at home.
Capricorn
Communication may feel strained during Venus retrograde, as misunderstandings could arise with loved ones. Don’t rush to conclusions—take time to reflect on what you really want to express. By April, you’ll find better ways to articulate your emotions.

Venus retrograde asks you to reconsider your approach to finances and self-worth. Are you investing in the right areas? By the time Venus goes direct, you’ll have clearer insights into how to manage your money and value yourself more deeply.
Pisces
With Venus moving through your sign in late March, this retrograde is deeply personal. It’s a time of self-reflection, particularly about how you present yourself to the world. When Venus goes direct, you’ll feel more confident in your identity and relationships.
