What Happens When Mercury & Venus Retrograde Together?

When Mercury & Venus both go retrograde, their planetary influences turn inward, creating a cosmic cocktail of:

🔹 Relationship Reassessments: Venus rules love & partnerships, so expect old emotions to resurface.
🔹 Self-Worth & Money Shifts: Venus also governs beauty, finances & values, pushing you to rethink what truly matters.
🔹 Communication Challenges: Mercury’s influence on technology, conversations & travel can bring misunderstandings.
🔹 The Return of the Past: Both planets may reopen old wounds, reconnect you with past relationships, or force a karmic lesson.

Key Dates to Know:

• Venus Retrograde → 1 March - 12 April 2025

• Mercury Retrograde → 15 March - 7 April 2025

• Peak Overlap → 15 March - 7 April 2025

This period is not a time to fear, but rather an opportunity to pause, reflect and realign.

What NOT to Do During This Retrograde Period

🔸 Rushing Into New Relationships: If you’ve just met someone new, give it time. Retrogrades tend to reveal truths later, not upfront.
🔸 Making Major Financial Investments: Venus governs money, and Mercury rules contracts—not the best time for impulsive spending or signing big deals.
🔸 Texting Your Ex: Venus Retrograde pulls past lovers back into our orbit, but not all reunions are meant to last. Reflect before you hit send.
🔸 Making Drastic Beauty Changes: Venus Retrograde is notoriously bad for drastic haircuts, cosmetic procedures, or aesthetic changes—you might regret them later!

Instead, focus on slow, intentional self-care, self-reflection, and refinement.
