Venus’s Retrograde Through the Sagittarius Zodiac
Overview
When Venus retrogrades through Sagittarius, love, beauty, and values get filtered through the lens of truth, freedom, and exploration. Sagittarius is adventurous and idealistic, craving expansion in relationships and experiences. Venus retrograde slows the pace, asking us to reconsider where we’ve been overindulgent, idealized others too much, or chased adventure at the cost of deeper connection. Old flames, long-distance romances, or relationships formed during travel could reappear, offering closure — or a second chance. This is also a potent time to revisit creative works, spiritual practices, and global connections that once inspired your heart.
