Venus Retrograde 2026: Find Your Personal Transit Dates

Venus appears to reverse direction on October 3, 2026, in early Scorpio and turns direct on November 14 UTC in late Libra. The latter moment falls on November 13 in parts of the Americas. These are shared astronomical dates; neither one says what will happen in an individual relationship or purchase.

Method note: A station is a change in apparent direction as seen from Earth, not a planet reversing its orbit. Published times can differ slightly by ephemeris and observation convention; compare UTC dates before converting to local time.

Enter your birth details in the free Personal Transit Calendar and switch to Detailed mode. If your 90-day range still covers the October-November 2026 retrograde, look for rows that begin with Venus: each names the natal planet or angle, the aspect, the local peak date, and any repeat-pass number. A shorter list is possible and is not a failed calculation.

The calculator looks for exact conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, and oppositions between moving Venus and supported natal points. A natal planet does not have to be in Libra or Scorpio to form one of these aspects. Checking only whether you have a placement inside the retrograde arc can miss squares or oppositions elsewhere in the chart.

The tool starts from today or a future date and searches only the range you select. It cannot recover passes that have already happened; a numbered pass reflects contacts found within the selected window, not a promise that every pass of the full cycle is displayed.

• Use Detailed, because Focus checks only the slower moving planets and omits Venus.
• If your start date is before the direct station, use 90 days to include more of the October-November retrograde; 30 days may end too early.
• Read the motion and pass label alongside the date instead of treating each row as a separate prediction.

The station is one moment in the shared sky. It becomes a close natal contact only if Venus is also near a supported aspect to one of your birth-chart degrees at that time. If the calculator shows no Venus peak on the station date, that is not an error: another exact aspect may occur later, or none may fall in your chosen range.

The calculator dates major Venus-to-natal aspects. It does not calculate a separate station-to-house score, a relationship compatibility verdict, or every day Venus stays within a loose orb.

If you do not know your birth time, the tool omits the Moon and chart angles and labels remaining peaks as date-based estimates. A birth city and country are still needed to resolve the time zone for the birth date.

If Venus crosses the same natal aspect more than once as its apparent motion changes direction, the calculator groups those exact contacts as repeat passes. Use the dates to revisit a real conversation, preference, or decision in your life; do not assume the same event must happen three times or that every person has three contacts.

In Western astrology, Venus is commonly used as a symbolic lens for relating, pleasure, values, and resources. That can suggest useful questions, but it is not evidence that a retrograde causes breakups, brings an ex back, or makes a financial decision unsafe.

For an actual relationship or money choice, use the information you have about the people and terms involved. The calculated date is a reflection prompt, not a rule to postpone weddings, contracts, or purchases.
