New Delhi: In a significant astrological event, Venus (Shukra) is set to begin its retrograde motion in its own sign of Libra starting October 3, 2026. This cosmic reversal is expected to heavily influence relationships, financial stability, material comforts, partnerships, and personal decision-making.
While Venus is generally strong in its home sign of Libra, astrological experts note that its retrograde (Vakri) phase demands patience. Astrologer Anand Sagar Pathak points out that this planetary movement is a time to review old matters and act with wisdom, rather than making hasty decisions.
According to astrological predictions, individuals belonging to five specific zodiac signs need to exercise extra caution during this period:
Taurus: With Venus retrograding in the sixth house, issues related to the workplace, debts, and daily expenses will demand attention. Old disputes at the office may resurface. Experts advise against taking new loans or spending money merely for the sake of showing off.
Cancer: The retrograde occurs in the fourth house, impacting matters related to family, property, and vehicles. Astrologers suggest rethinking any major decisions regarding property purchases or home renovations, warning natives not to make large investments driven purely by emotion.
Virgo: Financial discipline will be crucial as Venus moves backwards in the second house. There may be a strong urge to spend on luxury items. Additionally, individuals must keep a strict check on their speech, as harsh words could escalate family tensions.
Scorpio: Impacting the twelfth house, this transit will increase focus on expenses, travel, and external contacts. Unplanned expenditure on entertainment or travel is highly likely. Experts recommend carefully reviewing any documents related to foreign or external affairs and sticking to a strict budget.
Pisces: Venus will retrograde in the eighth house, which governs shared wealth, investments, and taxes. Complete transparency with life and business partners regarding financial transactions is highly advised. Natives should carefully read insurance and investment documents before committing to any new changes.
To mitigate the adverse effects of this planetary shift, astrologers suggest performing simple remedies on Fridays, such as donating white items like rice, clothes, or sweets, and offering prayers to Goddess Lakshmi.
