In short
Venus goes retrograde only once every eighteen months and stays there for six weeks. In these weeks feelings and finances show their true cost: what looked important dims, and what you kept postponing turns out to matter most. A poor window for new commitments, an excellent one for seeing the old ones clearly.
Venus is turning retrograde above you. This is the planet linked to love, money, and worth stepping back for a review. The air feels different, old questions about value return, relationships stall or press for clarity, comfort is suddenly complicated. This happens for everyone about once every eighteen months, and it lasts for six full weeks.
This period opens a door for you to pause and look honestly at what, and who, you really value, without the usual noise. These weeks put your attention where it most needs to go: the bonds you nourish and the exchanges that shape your everyday life, asking whether they feed or drain you.
