Venus retrograde tests the emotional strength of five zodiac signs between now and November 13, 2026. With the planet of love moving backwards, you begin a journey of self-discovery.
Things you once thought were set in stone suddenly seem a lot less certain. Don’t be surprised if you think about an ex or reconsider your approach to relationships. Your values are changing and Venus retrograde is to blame. This time will not be easy, but it will help you harness your power and build the life you truly want.
1. Capricorn
Design: YourTango
You don’t mince words about what you can handle or are willing to handle, Capricorn. But when your heart is involved, the lines become blurred. You like to rely on logic, but it doesn’t work very well when it comes to love.
Venus begins its retrograde on October 3. Between now and November 13, you find yourself slowing down. If you’re in a relationship or about to start one, you suddenly feel less confident in your feelings. You thought you were ready to commit, but now you’re not so sure.
Your emotional strength is tested. You doubt your feelings or the depth of your relationship, but that doesn’t mean it’s the end. Take a break and create distance to see if this connection still seems aligned with what you want. Don’t be indulgent on yourself. Dig deep and find out why you’re not rushing to commit. Is there anything else catching your attention? Is this more in line with your values?
2. Libra
Design: YourTango
Imposter syndrome is holding you back, Libra, and Venus retrograde won’t let this continue. Lately, you’ve been questioning your self-worth and wondering if you deserve certain situations or relationships. Is this coming from you? Or does someone else make you feel this way?
You don’t need to prove your worth to anyone. But you have to believe it yourself. That’s what this retrograde Venus is for. You have always been worthy of greatness, but until you truly believe in it, you will have difficulty achieving what you desire.
It’s time to rewrite your inner narrative. Let go of all that self-criticism and judgment, and see yourself for who you really are. You are strong and capable. Once you believe, anything is possible.
3. Sagittarius
Design: YourTango
Stop running from what you feel, Sagittarius. It only takes you further away from your destiny. As much as you want to avoid the heavy stuff, you know when it’s time to face the music. During Venus retrograde, this is definitely the case.
You don’t do reruns, but this energy leads you to revisit the past to learn from it. Old relationships and even trauma from your childhood affect the way you act today. You may want to ignore this fact, but that’s not how you heal.
This Venus journey helps you understand the root of your problems. It sounds like you took a leap of faith and realized too late that this wasn’t a trustworthy situation. Now you’re afraid, and it stops you from acting. But you are stronger than you think. Trying again is a risk, but it’s worth it. Don’t let your past stop you from your destiny.
4. Pisces
Design: YourTango
Venus retrograde begins in Scorpio, and that puts you in deep, Pisces. But you’re a water sign and you definitely know how to swim. Even if your emotional strength is tested, there is nothing you cannot handle.
Something you thought you were sure of now seems less certain. Maybe it’s a relationship or even the direction of your life. Do what you do best and trust your intuition. Don’t worry about what you can’t see or don’t know officially. You think the universe will soon clear things up, and you’re right.
Don’t expect to have all the answers right away, though. Venus is retrograde until November 13, and it’s going to be quite a journey. Sometimes you’ll worry that one of your worst fears will come true. Were you so enchanted by a fantasy that you ignored the facts? Stay strong and continue to trust yourself.
5. Leo
Design: YourTango
No matter what you do, Leo, you need to feel a fire that matches your own. Venus retrograde shows you that something is currently missing in your life, and that is passion. Whether it’s in your career or your love life, you just don’t feel the intensity you want.
It’s up to you to fan the flame. You burn radiant and strong on your own, but you want more from your life. Think about where you feel stuck or bored and prepare to make a change.
Until November 13, Venus helps you regain self-confidence and build the life and relationship you really want. Focus on what makes you happy and truly lights up your soul.
Was it love or lust? You know you were attracted to the surface at first, but why are you still looking for depth after all this time?
