After 40 days in the sign it crosses back into Scorpio on 4 December 2026 at 08:13 UTC. Libra is a cardinal air sign ruled by Venus.
Astrologers read a retrograde Venus as a time for review rather than fresh starts in matters of affection, value and taste. Back in its own sign of Libra, the tradition points that review toward partnerships, fairness and the balance of give and take. Questions about who carries what in a relationship, or what a shared arrangement is really worth to each person, are the classic themes. A modest suggestion: revisit an agreement or an unfinished conversation, and treat it as something to reconsider rather than settle quickly.
