Love, money, and worth come up for review — October 3 to November 13, 2026.
Not yet — Venus's retrograde begins October 3, 2026.
It runs through November 13, 2026.
Roughly every eighteen months, Venus — the planet of love, beauty, money, and what we value — appears to reverse course. From October 3 to November 13, 2026, she walks backward through intense Scorpio and slips back into her home sign of Libra. Where Mercury retrograde scrambles messages and travel, Venus retrograde works on the heart and the wallet.
This is famously not the season to begin: not the moment for a brand-new relationship, a dramatic haircut, a big-ticket splurge, or a wedding date. It is a season to re-: reconsider, reconnect, re-value. Old lovers and unfinished feelings have a way of reappearing — not always to be rekindled, but to be understood and released.
Venus retrogrades in the same part of the zodiac every eight years, so think back to late 2018: whatever themes of love or money were alive for you then may rhyme with what returns now.
Good for: reviewing relationships · reworking a budget · reconnecting with people who matter · finishing creative work you set down.
Hold off on: new commitments, big purchases, drastic makeovers, and "let's define this" conversations until after November 13.
