Venus retrograde in Scorpio begins October 2026

The period between late September and early October 2026 is characterized by the retrograde motion of Venus in Scorpio, beginning on October 3. In astrological terms, this transit is expected to trigger a period of intense reassessment regarding intimacy, trust, personal values, and financial entanglements.

Because Scorpio is associated with depth and hidden emotions, the retrograde may bring unresolved feelings, old attractions, or past relationship issues to the surface. This phase is described as a time for renegotiating agreements—whether they were made consciously or developed through habit—and moving away from superficiality toward more honest examinations of emotional safety and boundaries.
