Venus is in a very interesting position this year, and four zodiac signs experience karmic change from the planet’s retrograde phase from March 1 to April 12, 2025. The year began with Venus in its exaltation in Pisces, where its best qualities were enhanced. But then the planet of love entered the sign of Aries, where it is at fall, struggling to express itself.
Venus in Pisces is benevolent and self-sacrificing, while Venus in Aries is more selfish and prioritizes freedom. There is no compromise when Venus is in Aries, but there is a lot of sacrifice when it is in Pisces. The collective is learning how to balance these qualities during Venus retrograde.
Venus retrograde will impact us all in different ways, but the four zodiac signs experiencing karmic change during this cycle will feel this push-and-pull deeply. Venus retrograde wants these signs to incorporate and protect boundaries while also experiencing the freedom of independence.
Venus in Aries will teach us how to love ourselves and be more selfish if we need to. Once Venus returns to Pisces, we will learn to reserve love for those who are worthy.
