Venus Retrograde: When the Past Comes Knocking — Should You Answer?
Ever had an old flame slide into your DMs out of nowhere? Or maybe you’ve found yourself thinking about that relationship — the one that left unfinished business? If so, you might want to check the stars… because Venus is in retrograde from March 1 to April 12, 2025.
Hi, I’m Richa Pathak, astrologer and Vastu expert, and I want to help you make sense of this cosmic rewind. Venus rules love, beauty, and relationships, and when it goes retrograde, it’s like the universe is pressing “pause” and asking us to reflect.
Why Does This Happen?
Imagine Venus hitting rewind on your love life. Old feelings, past lovers, and unresolved emotions tend to bubble back up. This retrograde started in fiery Aries — bold, impulsive, and ready for action — but will shift into dreamy, emotional Pisces on March 27. That’s a recipe for deep emotional dives and unexpected encounters.
So… Why Is Your Ex Suddenly Texting You?
Venus retrograde has a funny way of making the past resurface. But before you romanticize those “I miss you” texts, ask yourself: Is this about them… or about me needing closure? This isn’t just about rekindling old flames — it’s about understanding your patterns and healing old wounds.
What Should You Do Right Now?
1. Pause Before Reacting: It’s tempting to dive back into old connections, but give yourself time. Is this nostalgia talking, or genuine growth?
2. Speak Your Truth: Whether it’s an ex or a current partner, be honest. Retrogrades are about clearing the air, not sweeping things under the rug.
3. Prioritize You: This period is perfect for self-reflection. Journal, meditate, take yourself out on a date — fall back in love with you.
4. Avoid Big Decisions: Feel like making a major relationship move or financial leap? Wait until Venus goes direct. What seems crystal clear now may look very different in a few weeks.
My Advice?
Don’t fear the retrograde — embrace it. Whether the past knocks or you simply feel a shift in your heart, this is a chance to grow. Relationships (including the one with yourself) need care and reflection, and Venus retrograde offers exactly that.
