The Universe won’t let us rest, will it? The answer, for now, is definitely NO.
After months filled with heartache and exhaustion, the moment we’ve all been anticipating has arrived: Venus is set to turn direct and emerge from its retrograde phase on April 12 (we also have a Pink Full Moon on this day). The energy will feel more uplifting and refreshing than it has since the pre-retrograde phase commenced on January 28, 2025, leading into the actual retrograde on March 1. This stage represents the third segment of the planetary backspins. Indeed, we are discussing the period following the retrograde, referred to as retroshade. The retroshade brings forth the most unexpected and eccentric occurrences, and this particular phase will continue until May 16. However, when Venus shifts signs the next day, on May 17, the atmosphere will transform completely.
In a nostalgic hue, we circle back to those familiar degrees—the very astrological points—where the planet first began to decelerate before entering its retrograde phase. This presents us with an opportunity to delve into, converse about, and address the circumstances that have unfolded since the pre-retrograde phase.
Venus stands out as one of the two planets, alongside Uranus, that orbits the Sun in a direction contrary to that of Earth. The effects of the retrograde are experienced on a grand scale by us earthlings. The departure of Venus from retrograde motion will undoubtedly have a profound impact, which we will all feel intensely. April 12 is a significant moment, offering us the chance to rectify past mistakes and pursue emotional fulfillment amidst the turbulent energy surrounding us. With our confidence soaring, we’ll express ourselves authentically and freely, embracing the essence of Venus in Pisces.
Just like every retrograde, this is a time for reflection and analysis of the past, enabling us to strategize for the future and gain clarity on our current circumstances. We may choose to reach out to our former partners, reconnect with old friends, or focus on healing our own hearts. Even as Venus accelerates forward, our desire for the past and our journey of self-healing remain strong. The retroshade is urging us to resolve our challenges so we can progress. The allure of nostalgia is stronger than ever, just like our passions. This is our celestial alert, shaking us from the dreamy fog that has enveloped our hearts since the pre-retrograde phase commenced on June 19. We are taking proactive steps to address our situation and pave the way for a new beginning in our lives — this is a moment of release (and it doesn’t have to imply a breakup!).
The perfect remedy for Venus retroshade is this captivating tale. A couple that has been engaged in constant arguments since June 19, following the post-retrograde phase, reached a breaking point in their relationship during the Venus retrograde. They are uncertain about whether to maintain the partnership, attempt to make it thrive, or release it altogether. They remain frozen, trapped in a moment that never changes. As the post-retrograde phase begins, individuals gain clarity on the significance of their choices and can confidently shape their future decisions. The couple recognizes their role in the conflict that ignited on January 28 and has since intensified. Grasping the dynamics of their interactions is a crucial move toward a potential reconciliation on May 16, as Venus moves beyond the post-retrograde phase. This narrative serves as a reminder that retrogrades are cyclical, and the journey that begins in the pre-shadow phase continues until the post-shadow period concludes.
We can look forward to the insights gained during this retrograde, guiding us to clarify our desires in love and enhancing our capacity to share our deepest feelings with those around us. The element of drama remains present, making it essential to take a moment to pause before finalizing decisions. Consider your desires on a deep, heartfelt, and transcendent level. Always prioritize your needs and embrace them fully.
