It's Happening Today! — Venus Retrograde! 🪐✨ Starting today, October 3, 2026, Venus officially begins its retrograde journey! To the naked eye, the brilliant planet will appear to pause its normal eastward path across the stars and start drifting backward (westward) through the night sky. This is a fascinating optical illusion caused by the way Earth and Venus pass each other in our orbits around the Sun. Look up over the coming weeks to spot this cosmic shift in action! 🌌 #Astronomy #Stargazing #venusretrograde #octobersky #retrograde - @maria2111215
