Your Venus Return

What you love, value, and reach for, refreshed.

Exact on August 07, 2040.

At age 104.0.

The cycle it opens will run about 13 months, from August 7, 2040 until the next Venus Return on September 21, 2041.

Your 109th Venus Return arrives as an invitation to recalibrate what matters, and to whom. This cycle will ask you to look at love and value through a lens of belonging, not possession; of what you build with others rather than what you accumulate alone.

The rising sign of this return chart is Scorpio, which means the whole cycle carries an undertone of depth and discernment. You won’t be drawn to surface pleasures. The returning Venus settles into your 11th house, the realm of friendships, groups, and shared aspirations. This is where your affection wants to move: toward people who see you clearly, toward communities that matter, toward causes that align with who you’re becoming. Money and beauty follow the same thread, less about personal display, more about what serves a larger vision you hold with others.

The return Moon sits in Leo in your 10th house, and the return Sun joins it there. Your emotional weather this cycle is public-facing and generous, but also performance-aware. You’ll feel the weight of how you’re seen, and you may discover that your heart wants recognition, not vanity, but honest acknowledgment from people who matter professionally or socially.

The wider sky amplifies this. Transiting Chiron is meeting your natal Moon while supporting both your Midheaven and Imum Coeli, a rare alignment suggesting deep healing around your roots and your public standing. Simultaneously, Jupiter presses your natal North Node, pulling you toward growth that feels fated. Together, these transits say: this is the cycle where you integrate old wounds into wisdom others will trust.

Meet this return by naming one community or friendship that reflects who you’re becoming. Let that become the container for your Venus’s work.

The Return Chart, At A Glance

This is the chart of the return itself: the whole sky at the moment your Venus came back to the spot it held at birth. It describes the cycle that opens, not you as a person, and the birth chart underneath it does not change. That cycle runs from August 7, 2040 to September 21, 2041, about 13 months.

How this sits with your own chart. A return chart is laid over a birth chart, never swapped for it. Your Venus is still in Virgo, exactly where it was at birth, and that is what makes this a return at all. What is new is the frame around it: cast for this moment, that same Venus falls in the 4th house (home, family, roots), so that is the part of life this cycle asks about. Everything in your birth chart stays as it is; this chart only says what the cycle ahead does with it.
