Venus makes its second of three squares to Pluto, a retrograde review that echoes back to the first square from September 15. We’re in the midst of a 40-day inner examination of what we value and invest in. Pluto always demands changes.
Venus Retrograde, which began on October 3, is always a time — like all retrogrades — to go back to the past, to shine a light on something that we’ve missed or needs resolution. As both a financial and relational planet, our time with Venus Retrograde may be a second look at our finances and spending or a period of reflection on a partnership or connection.
For most of its retrograde, Venus has been in Scorpio, a sign that can deliver unflinching truths to the questions we have around money and relationships. Throw in a square to Pluto, an evolutionary planet, and some of our realizations may be profound.
Be open to shifts of consciousness today, especially around our self worth and value. And be ready to take action in response to these revelations. Note that the final square between Venus in Scorpio and Pluto in Aquarius will be December 9.
Venus will be retrograde until November 13.
If you are in AUSTRALIA or NZ, this forecast applies approximately for October 21, 2026.
