When was Venus in a specific sign or nakshatra?

The same search works backwards — set the From date to any past day and the To date up to 730 days later. Swiss Ephemeris DE431 covers 13,201 BCE onward, so historical ranges resolve exactly. This is useful for verifying which Venus window a past wedding fell in, or confirming a natal Venus placement against a birth date.

How do I search for the next Venus sign entry or retrograde re-entry?

Choose “Sign (Rashi)” as the search type, pick the target sign from the dropdown, set a date range (up to 730 days) starting today or later, and submit. The tool returns every window in the range during which Venus occupies that sign, including retrograde re-entries as separate rows.

How much shorter is a Venus nakshatra visit compared to a sign?

2-5 days when Venus is direct, versus 23-30 days for a full sign. Switch the search type to Nakshatra and pick from all 27. Retrograde windows can extend a single nakshatra visit if Venus re-enters it during the reverse pass.

Why does the same sign show up twice for one search?

Venus goes retrograde every ~19 months and can cross a sign boundary backwards, re-entering the previous sign for a second visit. When this happens in your search range, both the initial forward visit and the retrograde re-entry are listed as separate rows, each with its own entry, exit, and duration.

Why is Venus search capped at 730 days?

730 days (two years) covers the full ~19-month Venus retrograde cycle in one query, so you can plan around retrograde windows in advance. Two years also captures roughly 3 full Venus circuits of the zodiac. For a purely temporal overview by year, use the Shukra Peyarchi Year Timeline instead.

Can I find Venus retrograde windows with this tool?

The Find Dates tool searches by sign or nakshatra, not by planetary condition — retrograde status is shown as a badge on each returned row. To directly see all Venus retrograde windows, use the Year Timeline: it lists every retrograde as a nested sub-event under the sign visit it happens in.

Note: All calculations use Lahiri Ayanamsa (sidereal) and Swiss Ephemeris for high precision. Times are displayed in your local timezone. Venus stays in each sign for ~25–30 days when direct, up to ~130 days total when a retrograde loop happens in one sign region. Venus goes retrograde roughly every 19 months for ~40 days, and is combust within 10° of the Sun (8° when retrograde). Search range is capped at 730 days, which captures the full ~19-month retrograde cycle in a single query.

About Finding Venus Transit Dates

Reverse lookup — the “when” question

The Live Tracker and Date Lookup tools tell you where Venus is at a given moment. Find Dates flips the question to “when will Venus be in a specific sign or nakshatra?” — or its past-tense twin “when was it?” You specify the target (a zodiac sign or a nakshatra) plus a date range up to 730 days wide — the range can sit anywhere in the past or future — and get back every window in it during which Venus occupies that target. Windows are returned as separate rows with entry time, exit time, and duration in your local timezone, including retrograde re-entries as their own rows.

Common Venus transit searches

Typical questions this reverse lookup answers — use it to check when Venus was in a target sign or nakshatra in the past, or when it will be in one over the next 730 days:

"When will Venus be in Pisces?" / "When was Venus in Meena last year?" — the exaltation sign. Traditionally the most auspicious annual Venus window — favoured for weddings, engagement announcements, and Lakshmi puja.
"When will Venus be in Taurus?" / "When was Venus in Vrishabha?" — own sign. Strong for material Venus significations (property, jewelry, luxury purchases, sensory arts).
"When will Venus be in Libra?" / "When was Venus in Tula?" — own sign + Moolatrikona degrees (0°00'00"–15°00'00", with own sign from 15°00'01"). Peak strength for relational Venus (partnerships, contracts, marriage).
"When is Venus in Virgo?" / "When was Venus in Kanya last year?" — the debilitation window. Classically avoided for weddings, jewelry launches, and major artistic decisions.
"When will Venus be in Aries / Gemini / Cancer / Leo / Scorpio / Sagittarius / Capricorn / Aquarius?" — the eight neutral-dignity rashis. Each returns entry and exit windows over the search range.
"When will Venus retrograde next?" / "When was the last Venus retrograde?" — because Venus goes retrograde only every ~19 months, use a 730-day search to capture the full cycle plus retrograde re-entries.
"When was Venus combust (Shukra Asta)?" — run a wide search near the sign the Sun was in, then check the Combust flag on each result. Combust windows happen once or twice a year, at the inferior and superior Sun-Venus conjunctions of the ~19-month cycle.
"When was Venus in Bharani / Purva-Phalguni / Purva-Ashadha?" — the three Venus-owned nakshatras. Ideal for personal-nakshatra readings and Venus-strength muhurta.
Historical natal verification — search a wide past range for your birth sign or nakshatra to verify natal Venus placement (Vedic almanacs sometimes differ by a few hours from Swiss Ephemeris on boundary days).
Planning ranges — check the whole next year for every sign visit at once, useful for annual muhurta scheduling.

Venus in 2026 — searching a whole year

Year-qualified searches such as "Venus in Bharani 2026 dates" or "when is Venus in Purva Phalguni this year" are best answered in two steps. Set the From and To fields above to the stretch of 2026 you care about and the results list every entry and exit window inside it. A single search covers up to 730 days, so a full calendar year — or two — fits in one pass.

For a whole year in one view, the Venus Peyarchi 2026 timeline lays out every sign visit for 2026 on a single page, with entry and exit times, retrograde and combust windows, and dignity windows marked; the Nakshatra Peyarchi timeline does the same at the 27-nakshatra layer. Use this Find tool when you know which nakshatra or rashi you want; use the year timeline when you want the full sequence.

Retrograde re-entries — why the same sign can appear twice

Venus goes retrograde roughly every 19 months and can cross a sign boundary backwards, re-entering the previous sign for a second visit before turning direct and exiting for good. When this happens inside your search range, the tool returns two separate rows for the same sign — the initial forward visit and the retrograde re-entry — each with its own entry and exit time. This mirrors how Vedic almanacs table Peyarchi events.
