6 Zodiacs Who Are In For A Whirlwind Change During 2023’s Venus Retrograde

Fire and fixed signs are in for a whirlwind of change during this Venus Retrograde transit beginning on July 22nd, 2023. Venus goes direct on September 3rd, 2023. As with other Venus RX transits, relationships are put to the test, but what makes this transit a little more exciting is that we are reminded of the most important relationship we have—the one with ourselves. Venus in Leo wants us to feel stronger and more self-assured. With this transit, we can rebuild and focus on acquiring joy for ourselves. Venus in Leo is also a very creative transit, bringing powerful ideas and motivation to those that want it. See how this transit will impact your rising, sun, and moon sign.

Aries 

Venus Retrograde will have you changing gears with romance. You may feel much more liberated and open to changes because you are confident with what you seek in your relationships. Having the North Node in your sign will make you more passionate and focused on success, so this transit can also help you get your dreams to take off. Falling in love with your talent and potential can feel like an awakening at this time. Single Aries will feel more comfortable being independent and more in control of their romantic relationships. While Aries in relationships will experience this energy differently. They will be more open to letting themselves get swept away by love, but if things are not aligned, they might be more willing to reconsider the relationship. The North Node will have you remembering your freedom, and if your partner cannot make a compromise with what you want, you will have no issues moving on.

Taurus 

As a Fixed sign, this energy can seem chaotic because it will feel like your relationships will be tested. Now is the time to look deep within and rediscover what makes you happy and if your partner is providing this for you. This Venus transit is about changing how you communicate with friends, family, and romantic partners. You are having powerful transformations with your philosophy, and this is impacting your self-expression. In your love life, Venus Retrograde can help you become more affectionate and vulnerable and show more love toward your partner by listening. Single Tauruses will be very open to dating and meeting new people, especially with Jupiter in your sign, pushing you to live in the moment. Home can be your sanctuary at this time, a place where you recharge and rebuild. Venus will inspire you to beautify your surroundings so you feel uplifted, inspired, and ready to plan your next steps. Honor what you want and don’t deceive yourself with rose-colored glasses. 

Leo 

Having Venus Retrograde happening in your sign makes you the star of the show. Things can get rocky when Venus is retrograde, but only if we have not been honest with our expectations. This period is about self-acceptance and understanding what we need to strengthen our relationships. This also applies to the relationship you have with yourself, since this transit is happening in your sign. How have you given your power in these relationships? Have you put yourself first? Venus reminds you to analyze your relationship dynamics. These transits allow you to understand what makes a fruitful relationship. Saturn in Aquarius has taught you lessons that you can incorporate once more during this transit. While Saturn made changes to your partnership house, Venus will make you feel much more confident and empowered to create a better relationship with you.

Scorpio 

When Venus was retrograde in your sign back in 2018, you may have remembered how this impacted your relationships. Now with Venus Retrograde happening at the highest point in your chart, you could feel a lot more prepared to be in a position of power and leadership. This Venus transit will allow you to become more mindful of the needs of others. You can also see yourself becoming more emotionally aware and want to help during this time. Venus Retrograde in Leo will help us all become more vulnerable emotionally, and this may occur for you in the career sector. You can develop stronger ties with the people you work with. If you are in school, you may see yourself working better with classmates. Venus can bring harmony to you, but this retrograde period can also have you focusing more on how to be a team player, even when you don’t want to. The diplomatic approach will help you stay in the game and have others respect you more. 

Sagittarius 

This is an adventurous period for Sagittariuses, as this Venus Retrograde will bring excitement to your world. You may feel more connected with your desires, and there is a need for expansion. This is a learning period that will have you reflecting on past relationships and your future goals. Venus in Leo is focused on your happiness, so don’t welcome problematic people from the past if they decide to reappear. Focus on yourself during this time. For the artistic Sagittariuses, you can initiate a new creative cycle that will be fueled by the North Node’s trine to Venus. Reminiscing can bring you more inspiration that helps you reconnect with projects you may have forgotten. Venus here also allows you to meet new and inspirational people that have the same ambition and drive that you do. You can make some great friendships or romantic connections during this transit. But most importantly, you can find yourself through self-love.

Aquarius 

One of the most important transits for your romantic life is Venus retrograde in Leo. You might be able to transform and let go with ease during this time. Retrograde tends to bring people from the past, and this cycle is no exception. If you wanted closure, you have the opportunity to receive it now during this Venus cycle. Moving on is easier because you have Saturn in Aquarius’ lessons to look back on. You are now reshaping how you view relationships altogether. For the next several months, Aquariuses in relationships will see how to work as a team with your romantic partners to improve your current relationship. Single folks may meet new people that can bring them the intensity and warmth synonymous with Leo’s energy. Nevertheless, this is a transit filled with love, passion, and care.
