Aries: 8 of Cups

Aries, with Venus retrograding through your sign, love may have felt like a mirror, reflecting your deepest needs, desires, and maybe even a few uncomfortable truths. The 8 of Cups is nudging you to walk away from something that no longer aligns with who you’re becoming. Maybe it’s a relationship that looks perfect on paper but doesn’t feel right in your gut. Or maybe it’s about the way you approach love itself. What are you chasing, and is it truly fulfilling you? Venus RX helped you see where you’ve been settling. Now, it’s time to honor what your heart actually needs, not just what you’ve convinced yourself you should want.

Taurus: The Tower

Venus retrograde may have come in like a wrecking ball for you, Taurus. The Tower shows that something you thought was solid — whether a relationship, a desire, or even your own approach to love — collapsed under its own weight. It’s okay if you’re feeling guilty or shaken up. Self-discovery can get messy. But here’s the truth: By making a bold change or walking away, you likely saved yourself from heading even further down the wrong path. Let that sink in. Sometimes things fall apart so something truer can take shape. And with Uranus still in your sign, this disruption was meant to set you free — not punish you. Now, you’re in alignment with what you actually need, not just what felt familiar.

Gemini: The Hierophant

This Venus retrograde helped you realize that tradition isn’t always a bad thing, Gemini. Maybe you took a step back from a current relationship — or the dating scene — and came away thinking, You know what? I actually have it pretty good. The Hierophant is here to remind you that lasting love isn’t just about fun or chemistry (though those help). It’s also about shared values and a deeper sense of commitment. You’re not just swiping for a good time anymore: You’re thinking about the long game. And that clarity is kind of a superpower.

Cancer: The Star

This Venus retrograde reminded you that healing is possible, Cancer, and that hope is never wasted. While others may brush off heartbreak and move on, you took the time to feel it all. To reflect. To understand. And in doing so, you tapped into something bigger, maybe even divine. The Star shows that you’re emerging from this cycle with clarity, gratitude, and a whole lot of self-awareness. You’ve done the inner work. You’ve released what was weighing you down. And now you’re stepping into a new chapter with an open heart and a renewed sense of faith in love — and in yourself.

Leo: 8 of Swords

This Venus retrograde was a wake-up call, Leo. If you’ve been feeling trapped in your love life — whether single or partnered — it’s time to recognize that the cage may have been built in your own mind. The 8 of Swords reminds you that limitations aren’t always external. Maybe you were narrowing your options, clinging to outdated ideas of what love should look like, or blaming your partner for a restlessness that was really coming from within. But now you know better. You’re a lion, not a house cat, and you were born to roam free. Whether in a relationship or not, you’ve realized that true love doesn’t confine you. It honors your independence. And that’s the energy you’re ready to attract.

Virgo: 3 of Swords

This Venus retrograde wasn’t easy, Virgo — but it was necessary. Even if your heart didn’t break in real time, you were asked to revisit the pain that’s still living there. The 3 of Swords points to emotional wounds you’ve carried: Some you may have buried, others you’ve quietly held onto. This cycle asked you to stop running from them and instead honor what you’ve been through. It’s okay to grieve what didn’t work out. It’s okay to cry, to rage, to release the blame — whether it’s directed at yourself or others. What matters is that you’ve faced it all head-on. And now you’re clearing space for love that’s grounded in healing, not hurt. That’s brave. And it’s going to pay off.

Libra: 5 of Swords

As a Venus-ruled sign, retrogrades hit you deep, Libra — and this one was no exception. The 5 of Swords reveals the tension you’ve been navigating in your love life. Maybe you’ve been caught in power struggles, either fighting to be right or realizing that someone else always seems to need the upper hand. This retrograde held up a mirror and asked: Are you prioritizing harmony or just avoiding conflict? It also may have exposed a pattern of attracting partners who manipulate more than they meet you halfway. You’ve learned that boundaries aren’t barriers: They’re bridges to real respect. You’re learning when to hold your ground and when to walk away. Either way, you’re no longer available for anything less than mutual care and emotional honesty.

Scorpio: King of Wands

This was the final Venus retrograde while Saturn’s been camped out in your romance zone, and honestly, Scorpio, what a way to go out. The King of Wands shows that you’ve stepped fully into your power. After all the emotional heavy lifting, you now know exactly what you want, and you’re not afraid to own it. You’re done with vague vibes and mixed signals. You need a partner who matches your passion, shares your vision, and respects your independence. And let’s face it: If they can’t walk their talk, you’re already out the door. This isn’t about playing it cool — it’s about showing up with confidence and expecting the same in return. You’ve leveled up. Now, your love life needs to do the same.

Sagittarius: 2 of Wands

You’ve had a lot on your mind during this Venus retrograde, Sag, especially when it comes to how you’re navigating love. The 2 of Wands shows you’ve been standing at a crossroads, weighing your options. Have you been playing it safe, sticking to a “type,” or avoiding new experiences out of habit? Or has your current relationship lost its spark, making you wonder if there’s something — or someone — better suited to your spirit of adventure? Only you know the answer. But now that Venus is moving forward, it’s time to stop pushing those questions aside. Settling for what’s familiar won’t cut it. Your heart’s craving expansion, and you owe it to yourself to explore what that really looks like.

Capricorn: 4 of Pentacles

This Venus retrograde may have stirred up some questions around control, Capricorn — how much you give, how much you hold back, and where you draw the line between protecting your heart and letting love grow. The 4 of Pentacles invites you to take a closer look at your grip on your relationships. Are you clinging too tightly to an idea of how things should be? Sometimes what feels like strength is really just fear in disguise. On the flip side, maybe this retrograde helped you realize how much someone truly means to you — and you don’t want to lose them. That’s beautiful. Just remember: Love thrives when it has room to breathe. Trust yourself, and trust them. You don’t need to hold on so tightly to keep something real.

Aquarius: Page of Pentacles

You’ve come out of this Venus retrograde with a more grounded perspective on love, Aquarius — and that’s saying something. You’re known for living in your head and dreaming up ideal versions of romance, but reality doesn’t always match the vision. The Page of Pentacles shows that you’re now approaching relationships with fresh eyes and a more realistic heart. You’re seeing people for who they really are — not who you want them to be — and you’re learning to embrace the beauty in their flaws, not fixate on perfection. You’ve also begun to manage your expectations and direct your energy toward what’s truly worthwhile. Most of all, you’re becoming the kind of partner who shows up — not just in the exciting moments, but in the everyday ones too.

Pisces: Strength

Of course you pulled Strength, Pisces! Venus retrograded all the way back into your sign, making this journey especially personal and transformative. Over the past few weeks, love may have tested you. Old wounds resurfaced, uncomfortable truths demanded attention, and you had to choose: face what wasn’t working or risk losing something important. But instead of shrinking, you rose. Strength isn’t about control — it’s about showing up with compassion, courage, and grace. You’ve done just that. Now, you’re emerging with a deeper understanding of what it takes to sustain love and what it means to walk away when something no longer serves your heart. You’re not just strong in love. You’re wise in it, too.
