Venus Retrograde In Scorpio & Libra Horoscope 2026

The best day of the backslide is October 23rd, when the sun and Venus come together, forming an aspect called “cazimi,” which translates from Latin to English as “in the heart of the sun.” This planetary association creates a Venus star point, a term coined by astrologer and author Arielle Guttman. We’re looking at an eight-year cycle in which Venus makes five conjunctions to the sun, forming a pentagram across the zodiac wheel. Here’s how it works: we look back every four years to pick up stories and plots that persist, so pay attention to what happened in 2022 and 2018, as well as every four to eight years before that.
