Astrology has long been blamed for those unexpected reconnections and miscommunications in our lives. When Mercury and Venus go retrograde, many believe that the cosmos stirs up old flames, and unresolved feelings, and even sparks new interactions with exes. As these celestial bodies reverse their usual course, their influence on communication and romance becomes especially potent often resulting in surprising reunions among even the biggest stars of Bollywood.
What Are Retrogrades?
In astronomy, a retrograde occurs when a planet appears to move backwards in its orbit from our vantage point on Earth. This optical illusion results from the relative positions and motions of Earth and the other planets. Astrologically, retrogrades are significant and are believed to influence various aspects of our lives.
Mercury Retrograde
The first Mercury retrograde of 2025 spans from March 14 to April 7. Mercury governs communication, technology, and travel. During its retrograde, these areas may experience disruptions. Misunderstandings, technological glitches, and travel delays are common. It’s also a period when unresolved issues from the past resurface, offering opportunities for reflection and resolution.
Once Mercury stations direct, there’s often a sense of clarity. Projects and communications that face obstacles may progress more smoothly. However, it’s advisable to wait a few days after the retrograde ends before making significant decisions, allowing residual energies to settle.
Venus Retrograde
Venus retrograde in 2025 occurs from March 1 to April 12. Venus influences love, beauty, and finances. During its retrograde, individuals might reassess relationships, question aesthetic choices, or reevaluate financial decisions. It’s a time when past lovers might reappear, prompting reflections on unresolved emotions.
Post-retrograde, there’s often a renewed understanding of personal values and desires. Relationships and financial matters can benefit from the introspection undertaken during the retrograde, leading to more authentic connections and informed financial choices.
