Venus moved back into Libra on October 25, according to a report published October 27, which means the most stressful stretch of its current retrograde has ended. The planet of love and beauty will not turn direct until November 13, so the retrograde is not fully over. Even so, the report describes the worst of the period as being in the past, with struggles easing and life becoming easier.
Astrologer Helena Hathor is cited on the effects for Aquarius, where relationships have been strained since Venus went retrograde at the start of October, with communication repeatedly going wrong. Hathor said conversations will become easier, particularly with co-workers, authority figures, bosses and people one works alongside. The report also points to exciting opportunities arriving, possibly involving travel across the globe, and advises against giving up hope while larger developments are in the works.
For Taurus, the retrograde has been taxing and patience has worn thin. Hathor described people as demanding and excruciatingly painful to deal with. With Venus back in its home sign, the report says relationships are improving, people are beginning to value Taurus as deserved, and friends and partners are paying more attention while pay at work reflects that worth. Hathor added that people will start to be more agreeable, and the report says toxic cycles are ending as well.
Scorpio is described as ready to return to the land of the living. Hathor said the sign can come out of hermit mode and bring its sense of self forward. According to the report, time spent alone was not idle but part of evolving and getting to know oneself on a deeper level. The report frames the current period as the moment to show the world what that self-discovery produced.
For Leo, home has not been the safe space it needs to be, and instead has caused additional stress. The report lists manipulative family members, toxic roommates and a demanding landlord among the possible sources of drained energy. Hathor said Leo will be able to navigate the home space more pleasantly, especially with siblings and neighbors. The report adds that renovation work should look less like a construction site, and that conditions are finally lightening.
