What is Venus retrograde?
A retrograde planet looks as if it is moving backward through the zodiac. It is an optical effect. All planets keep moving forward, but when Earth overtakes or is overtaken by another planet, that planet seems, for a while, to slide back against the stars. Think of passing a slower car on a motorway: for a moment it appears to drift backward. Thai astrology calls this พักร.
Venus retrograde in astrology
When Venus is retrograde, your attention turns to what you love, value and desire. Old partners or tastes may return, and you may question a relationship, a purchase or your own worth. This period favours reflection over new commitments. Revisit what you truly want, mend what can be mended, and hold off on dramatic makeovers or costly splurges until the planet moves forward again.
