Venus Retrograde is Here—Here’s How to Dodge the Drama and Make It Work for You

— by Emilie Muniz, posted on March 4, 2025 —

What is Venus Retrograde?

Venus Retrograde is about to shake things up from March 1 to April 12, 2025—and if you’ve ever felt your love life, finances, or self-worth take a weird, unexpected hit, this retrograde might be the reason.

Venus rules love, relationships, beauty, self-worth, and money. When it goes retrograde, all of these areas get thrown into review mode. Exes pop up, financial habits get tested, and your usual confidence? It might feel a little wobbly.

This Venus Retrograde starts in bold, impulsive Aries and then shifts into sensitive, dreamy Pisces on March 27. Translation? We’re all starting off fiery and reckless, then drowning in our feelings by the end. Fun, right?

But don’t panic—I’ve got the real deal on what’s coming, how to avoid common mistakes, and how to actually use this energy to level up.


Venus Retrograde Effects: What to Watch Out For

You’re Ex may pop back up

Love & Relationships: Is Your Ex Coming Back?

  • Old flames could slide into your DMs—or show up in your dreams. (Yep, Venus Retrograde loves to mess with your subconscious.)
  • If you’re in a relationship, expect deep talks, unfinished business, or even some tension. Issues you’ve ignored? They’ll demand attention.
  • 💡Pro tip: If someone resurfaces, ask yourself: Do I miss them, or do I miss the nostalgia? Retrogrades love making us romanticize the past.

Money & Finances: Watch Your Wallet

  • Random bills or unexpected financial shifts might test your budgeting skills.
  • This is NOT the time to make big purchases or investments—Venus Retrograde messes with our sense of value.
  • 💡Pro tip: If you feel the urge to “emotional support shop,” wait 48 hours before buying. Chances are, you won’t even want it later.

Beauty & Self-Worth: Do NOT Cut Your Own Bangs

  • Feeling restless with your look? Venus Retrograde warps our perception of beauty.
  • That dramatic haircut, cosmetic procedure, or impulse tattoo might seem like a good idea now—but you might regret it when Venus goes direct.
  • 💡Pro tip: Focus on self-care rituals instead of drastic changes. Your confidence needs nurturing, not a rushed makeover.

How to Actually Make Venus Retrograde Work for You

🔮 Create a “Reverse Bucket List”

Instead of stressing over what you haven’t done, list everything amazing you’ve already accomplished. Venus Retrograde is all about self-reflection, and this exercise shifts you into gratitude mode.

🔥 Burn Old Love Patterns (Literally)

Burn away old toxic patterns

If you’ve been stuck in the same toxic relationship cycle, write it down and burn the paper (safely, please!). This helps release old emotional baggage and clears space for better love.

💸 Set a Financial Trap (For Yourself)

Put your credit card somewhere inconvenient (or literally freeze it in a cup of water). This stops impulse spending and forces you to rethink financial habits Venus Retrograde is calling out.

🕯️ Do a Self-Worth Ritual

Light a candle and journal:

  • Where am I undervaluing myself?
  • Where am I settling for less than I deserve?
  • How can I step into my power when Venus goes direct?

Should You Get a Tarot Reading During Venus Retrograde?

YES. Because let’s be real—Venus Retrograde makes us overthink EVERYTHING.

If you’re feeling:

  • Confused about an ex resurfacing
  • Unsure if your relationship will survive this retrograde
  • Stuck in a money or self-worth rut

I’ve got you. Book a tarot reading with me and let’s get you real answers—not just retrograde-induced overthinking.

Final Thoughts: Venus Retrograde Isn’t the End—It’s a Reset

Venus Retrograde isn’t here to ruin your life, but it is here to hold up a mirror. If you don’t like what you see—fix it, don’t fear it. This is your cosmic chance to reflect, release, and re-align with what truly matters.

And please, for the love of astrology, don’t cut your own bangs.
