If Venus Retrograde is like rummaging through an old box of love letters, expired credit cards, and questionable fashion choices from 2017 (male rompers, anyone?), the Cazimi is the moment you hold up one particular item and suddenly everything makes sense. It’s a brief but powerful window of clarity in an otherwise confusing retrograde season.
Venus retrogrades every 18 months, dragging us backward through our love life, self-worth, finances, and creative projects like a nosy ex checking up on our progress. Old flames, unresolved tensions, and financial regrets tend to resurface, often with a mix of nostalgia and horror. It’s a time of review, not action—because whatever conclusions we jump to now will likely evolve once Venus stations direct on April 30.
This Venus Cazimi (when Venus is “in the heart of the Sun”) acts as a cosmic revelation—but here’s the catch: just because you see the truth now doesn’t mean you should act on it yet. Think of it like getting a preview of your personal season finale. Yes, you finally understand the plot twist, but you don’t get to write the next episode until the end of Venus’ retrograde arc.
Instead of making grand declarations of love, quitting your job in dramatic fashion, or spending a small fortune on an artistic “reinvention,” sit with what emerges. The universe is sending hints and synchronicities right now—tiny, divine breadcrumbs leading you to the bigger transformation. Pay attention to the signs, journal your realizations, and let the dust settle before making any big moves.
Here's what to be on a lookout for:
A Sudden Clarity
During Venus Cazimi in Aries, clarity in love and relationships strikes like a well-timed plot twist—sudden realizations about what’s working, what’s failing spectacularly, and what you actually need rather than what you’ve been chasing. Old connections may resurface, not necessarily to rekindle the flame but to offer one final scene of closure—or, in some cases, to tempt you into a sequel best left unwritten.
A Rebirth of Desire & Self-Worth
It’s also a moment of seeing, perhaps uncomfortably, where you’ve been settling, overgiving, or dodging vulnerability like it’s a game of emotional dodgeball. Aries energy demands honesty, and this Cazimi holds up a mirror: where have you compromised your identity in love or work? This isn’t about negotiation; it’s about embodiment. Self-worth isn’t a debate, and if you’ve been treating it like one, this Cazimi is here to settle the argument once and for all.
Creative & Financial Insights
Beyond the heart, financial and creative shifts are also brewing. A new vision is forming around money, investments, and artistic pursuits—though this doesn’t mean it’s time to act. (That impulse purchase still isn’t a good idea, but at least now you’ll understand why you wanted it.) Retrograde territory means brainstorming, not launching; refining, not rushing. Take note of what excites you, what sparks a fresh sense of purpose. The plan is unfolding—but the grand reveal comes later, once Venus stations direct and the path forward is no longer written in disappearing ink.
How to Work With It ?
- Observe, don’t act. You’re getting a sneak peek, not the final script.
- Journal and reflect. What themes are repeating in love, money, and self-worth?
- Watch for synchronicities. The universe is being playful—expect cryptic but meaningful messages.
- Wait until Venus stations direct (April 30) to take major action.
To help make sense of it all and lean back into self-empowerment during this period of confusion, I've created: a specially crafted guided meditation journey for Venus Retrograde (find it HERE), and a wholesome Venus Retrograde Workshop with an original tarot spread, archetype embodying ritual, simple spells, and more (available HERE).
A Celestial Roadmap for Each Zodiac Sign
(For best accuracy, read for your Rising Sign!)
♈ Aries Rising (1st House): Identity, Self-Image, & Personal Rebirth
This is a main character moment. You’re seeing yourself in a new light, realizing what you truly want in relationships and how you show up in the world. The urge to change your entire aesthetic or dramatically exit a relationship is strong—but hold that thought. The final version of “new you” arrives post-retrograde.
♉ Taurus Rising (12th House): Hidden Desires, Subconscious Patterns, & Closure
You're getting deep insights into love, loss, and past patterns. This could feel like a relationship epiphany delivered in a dream sequence. Your subconscious is spilling secrets—listen closely. Closure is coming, but don’t force it yet.
♊ Gemini Rising (11th House): Friendships, Community, & Future Visions
Big “Are these my people?” energy. You may realize certain friendships aren’t aligned anymore or feel pulled toward a new creative or social circle. If an old friend resurfaces, ask yourself: is this nostalgia, or are they actually meant to stay?
♋ Cancer Rising (10th House): Career, Reputation, & Public Image
You’re reconsidering your professional path and public image. A project, role, or career goal may no longer feel like “you.” Clarity is coming—but your next big move? That’s April’s business.
♌ Leo Rising (9th House): Expansion, Travel, & Belief Systems
A realization about what truly excites and inspires you is incoming. This could relate to travel, education, or even a romantic connection at a distance. Hold onto the insight, but don’t book a one-way ticket just yet.
♍ Virgo Rising (8th House): Intimacy, Transformation, & Shared Resources
Deep, personal revelations are surfacing—about love, trust, and finances. If an ex resurfaces, ask yourself: is this a cosmic test, or are they truly different now? Money matters also need patience—no big financial commitments until May.
♎ Libra Rising (7th House): Relationships, Contracts, & One-on-One Dynamics
Your entire relationship philosophy is under review. Whether it’s a personal or business partnership, this Cazimi delivers one major insight that will define your next chapter. Sit with it before making any final decisions.
♏ Scorpio Rising (6th House): Work, Health, & Daily Routines
You may suddenly see the root of a work-related frustration or burnout cycle. A shift in health habits or daily structure is calling to you—but ease into it. Radical life overhauls can wait.
♐ Sagittarius Rising (5th House): Creativity, Romance, & Pleasure
An old creative passion (or romantic flame) may resurface, making you question what truly excites you. Love life realizations are intense, but don’t lock anything in yet—especially if someone from the past knocks on your door.
♑ Capricorn Rising (4th House): Home, Family, & Emotional Foundations
Major clarity around family, home life, or deep emotional needs. If moving or family dynamics are in flux, expect a realization—but let things play out before making big choices.
♒ Aquarius Rising (3rd House): Communication, Learning, & Local Connections
You’re seeing a truth about a conversation, sibling relationship, or communication style. If someone comes back with “unfinished business,” hear them out—but wait before fully engaging.
♓ Pisces Rising (2nd House): Money, Self-Worth, & Personal Values
A revelation about finances or self-worth is coming. Whether it’s realizing you’re undercharging or finally seeing your true value, take note—but don’t sign any contracts or financial deals just yet.
This Venus Cazimi is a moment of truth—but not yet a moment of action. Let the insights simmer before making any final calls. By late April, you’ll be in a much stronger position to move forward with confidence. Until then, observe, reflect, and enjoy the cosmic breadcrumbs.
