Venus retrograde 2027
Venus has no retrograde in 2027. The last one ended on November 14, 2026, and the next one starts on May 10, 2028. A year without a Venus retrograde is a steadier one for love and money: there is no set time of review, so new relationships and purchases can move at their own pace.

What Venus retrograde means
Venus is the planet of love, attraction, money and what you value, so its retrograde is read as a review of all of them: who and what you really want, and what you have been paying for out of habit. Old loves and old tastes can return, and the question they bring is whether they still fit the person you are now.
Venus goes retrograde about once every nineteen months, for about six weeks, so some years have one and some do not.
Venus retrograde and love
In love, a Venus retrograde tends to bring up the past: an ex, an old pattern, a question about a relationship you thought was settled. The tradition suggests going slowly with new commitments during one and taking the chance to talk honestly about what is and is not working. Attraction felt during these weeks is worth testing again afterwards.
Venus retrograde and work
At work, this is about value and relationships: how you are paid, who you enjoy working with and what your work is worth to you. It is a good time to revisit your prices and a good time to mend a difficult relationship with a colleague or client. New branding and big changes of look usually benefit from waiting.
Venus retrograde and money
With money, the tradition points to reviewing what you spend on pleasure and comfort. Look at what you own, what you are paying for and what you would not buy again. Large luxury purchases and sudden changes of style tend to look different once the planet is moving forward again, so keep the receipt.
Making decisions during Venus retrograde
For decisions about love and money, ask whether you still want the thing or just miss how it once felt. There is no rush to answer during the retrograde itself. Use the weeks to find out what you value, and act on it once Venus has moved past the degree where it turned.
The shadow: before and after
A planet passes the same stretch of the zodiac three times around a retrograde: forward, backward, then forward again. The shadow is the whole of that stretch, from the day it first reaches the degree it will back up to, until the day it finally passes the degree where it turned.
| Enters the shadow | Retrograde | Leaves the shadow |
|---|---|---|
| August 31, 2026 | October 3 to November 14 | December 15, 2026 |
| April 7, 2028 | May 10 to June 22 | July 26, 2028 |
