What it means

Venus rules relationships, money comfort, beauty and the arts. Its retrograde comes about once every nineteen months and lasts roughly forty days.

Traditionally this is a time to reconsider relationship and spending decisions rather than make large new commitments.

What to do

  • Avoid big luxury or jewellery purchases if you can wait.
  • Old relationships and unresolved feelings may resurface — handle them calmly.
  • Many families prefer not to fix a wedding date inside this window; ask your pandit.
