Venus is retrograde, and astrologer Haley Comet says the period carries a financial emphasis for four zodiac signs: Virgo, Pisces, Libra and one other. During this retrograde, Venus moves through Scorpio and Libra. According to Comet, the transit is about money. Venus turns retrograde roughly once every 18 months, and it has not been retrograde in these signs since 2018, which gives the period a rare quality.
For Virgo, the focus is balance in financial matters. Comet describes money as energy and says an imbalance can be felt when something is energetically off. For some time, Virgo's finances have not flowed as desired, whether in career or investments. The universe is pushing Virgo to get organized during October and November. If underpaid, Virgo may ask for a raise or raise prices; if work goes unrecognized, the advice is to act. Comet indicates that change will likely not happen overnight, but Virgo should not underestimate its skills while working out of a financial rut.
Pisces is also dealing with money issues during this retrograde. Comet says there is a focus on debt, investments and joint partnerships. Lingering bills should be paid, and money owed should be requested back. The astrologer notes the period may be stressful but manageable. With a plan that is followed, obstacles can be overcome. Comet adds that Venus retrograde is about tying up loose ends from the past.
A third sign shares the debt and joint partnership focus. According to Comet, the approach to these subjects is changing. In the past, this sign may have panicked over every bill and treated escaping debt as the only goal. Now, with more wisdom, the sign understands financial success is a process that sometimes includes debt. Guilt over an imperfect financial state is not necessary, and there is no need to crash out. The guidance is to lock in and get to work.
Libra is the fourth sign, and Venus is its ruling planet. On October 25, Venus moves into Libra for the remainder of the retrograde. That makes the period about Libra's goals and getting back on track financially. Comet says it is also a review of what Libra values. Rather than grinding at a job that is hated, Libra is encouraged to think deeply about what actually matters. Until mid-November, Libra should reflect on what it wants from life and how to get there. The existential thinking may be uncomfortable, but Comet frames it as necessary.
