Venus Is Back in Libra, and These 4 Signs Will Feel It Most

It’s time for a relational vibe shift. On October 25, Venus moved out of Scorpio and back into Libra, bringing a new dynamic to your retrograde experience. Venus is uncomfortable in the intense and obsessive waters of Scorpio; she’s much happier in the airy and balanced home sign of Libra. From now until November 13, Venus is asking everyone to review their relationships through a Libran lens, and these are the four signs who will be diving deeper than the rest.

Aries

Aries, when Venus moves back to Libra, she brings her soft focus to your seventh house of long-term relationships. In this part of her retrograde, she wants to know what you truly want out of the partnerships in your life. Do your relationships feel equal and balanced, or are the scales tipped too far in one direction? Do you trust yourself enough to build the relationships of your dreams, or are you settling and entertaining people who don’t actually meet your standards? Answering these questions will make it that much easier to find the peanut butter to your jelly, or the Tom to your Zendaya.

If you’re feeling happy in your relationships this retrograde, Venus asks you to review what’s going well and where you’d like things to head next. Perhaps you’re ready for that DTR, or to move in with a partner. Maybe you’re enjoying your solo life so much you’re ready to commit to a new passion or creative pursuit. Wherever your heart is, let Venus’ retrograde through Libra bring you to more fulfilling connections.

Gemini

Gemini, Venus’ retrograde through Libra asks you one simple question: Are you having any fun? Relationships are ultimately meant to bring joy into your life, so if love has been a drag lately, it’s time for an overhaul. Libra rules your fifth house of creativity, true love, dating, and pleasure, and when Venus retrogrades through this house, she knows when you’re really having a good time and when you’re just faking it.

Gemini, you are one of the most fun-loving signs of the zodiac, and you need your relationships to match that energy! If the love that was once a burning flame has lost its sizzle, Venus asks you to find out why and get things back on track. When the apps start feeling like a desolate wasteland, Venus wants you to find IRL events to mix and mingle (you can update your profiles later). And if things have been going well in your fun department, Venus wants you to know they can get even better! This part of Venus retrograde wants you to be like Marie Kondo and hold onto only what sparks joy.

Cancer

Cancer, it’s time to review the first relationships that formed your concept of love. Libra rules your fourth house of home, family, lineage, and the past, so Venus’ retrograde through Libra wants you to dig deep. What is your attachment style, and how does it show up in your relationships today? Take note of the patterns of love you’d like to repeat, and which ones you’d rather leave behind. These may be tough topics to face, but there’s no better time to do this work since Venus retrograde brings major cycle-breaking energy.

These next few weeks might put you in situations that trigger old wounds, or bring you face-to-face with someone who looks just like that ex. These encounters are meant to remind you of your power to choose. Venus is a picky girl who goes where she feels loved and stays only in relationships that nourish her. Her retrograde through Libra is the perfect chance to rewrite your story and decide who gets to be in your next chapter.

Libra

Libra, Venus is your planetary ruler, and when she retrogrades through your sign, she asks you to evaluate your connection to yourself. Here in your first house, she takes a fine-tooth comb to your self-care routines, relationship to your body, and core concept of self. How do you show yourself love? Venus asks you to give care and appreciation to the person you once were and to the person you have become. This is a theme you’ll want to explore over the next few weeks.

There’s an old adage that says you can tell how someone feels about themselves based on the partners they choose. If those relationships reflect the value and care you have for yourself, you’re on the right track. If not, this is the perfect time to course-correct. Venus’ retrograde through Libra asks you to pour into your own heart, and to notice who pours along with you.
