Venus Retrograde 2025: Dates, Signs and Stations
One window opening in 2025 · 42 days between stations · Pisces
Venus turns retrograde once in 2025, on 2 March 2025, and turns direct again on 13 April 2025. Counting only the calendar days of 2025, Venus is retrograde on 43 of them.
2 March to 13 April, in Pisces
Venus stations retrograde on 2 March 2025 at 16°38′ Pisces, in Uttara Bhadrapada, and stations direct on 13 April 2025 at 0°26′ Pisces, in Purva Bhadrapada. Between the two stations it travels back 16.2° of the zodiac over 42 days.
16°38′ Pisces, the 2 March station, is in Uttara Bhadrapada but within a quarter of a degree of its edge, which is inside the spread between ayanamsas, so a panchang on another ayanamsa may put it in the neighbouring nakshatra. 0°26′ Pisces, the 13 April station, is in Purva Bhadrapada pada 4, the Cancer navamsa. The arc between them spans 5 padas, from Purva Bhadrapada pada 4 up to Uttara Bhadrapada pada 4, and Venus crosses every degree of it three times: forward before 2 March, backward until 13 April, and forward again afterwards. Venus is exalted in Pisces.
The whole 16.2° lies inside Pisces, so for the 2 March retrograde of 2025 there is no sign change to date: Venus in Pisces covers all 42 days.
The site’s ingress, nakshatra and conjunction tables run from 2026 to 2028, so for the 2025 window they have nothing to add, and this page adds nothing in their place.
How 2025 Compares With Venus’s Other Windows
Across the 5 Venus retrogrades the site computes from 2024 to 2031, a window lasts 41 to 43 days between stations and retraces 15.4° to 16.5°. The 2025 window, at 42 days and 16.2°, is inside that range by length.
Every date here is a day, never a time. A planet at a station is barely moving, so the minute it turns is the least stable figure in the table; for Venus in 2025 the day is what two careful sources will agree on.
