Venus retrograde dates in 1999

Venus turns retrograde once in 1999.

Venus turns retrograde about every 19 months, and each retrograde lasts between 41 and 43 days. Because the gap is longer than a year, some calendar years have no Venus station at all, and the year pages say so when that is the case.

Like Mercury, Venus is retrograde while it passes between the Earth and the Sun. In tradition Venus stands for attraction, harmony and what a person values, and astrologers who follow retrogrades read a Venus retrograde as a time to revisit those themes. That is a tradition of interpretation, not a measured effect.

Stations are found by Astrely's own code from the planets' positions and are shown in Nicosia time. Mercury's stations are checked against NASA/JPL Horizons to within four minutes; the outer planets move so slowly around a station that their times are best read to the day. The method page has the details.
