Venus transits

Preface

The transits of Venus help us understand when it is appropriate to begin new romantic relationships and when it is not, what these relationships might lead to, and how long they may last. They also provide insight into the best times to avoid marriage, the potential influences on your financial situation, and much more.

It is important to track the transits of Venus to minimize disappointment in love, especially when relationships that started so beautifully end up leading nowhere. Venus's transits can explain why this happens, although it is also essential to consider the placements of the natal planets and other transits.

About Venus Transits

Venus travels through the entire zodiac to enjoy the qualities of each sign and each house. In every position, Venus fulfills some of her desires and then moves to another place (another sign or house) to bring herself pleasure there as well.

The strongest position for Venus is the sign of Pisces. Here, Venus is exalted and receives the maximum potential.

The weakest position for Venus is the sign of Virgo. In Virgo, Venus is debilitated and receives minimal opportunities.

The own signs of Venus are Taurus and Libra. In these signs, Venus is slightly weaker than in Pisces.

The friendly signs for Venus are Gemini, Capricorn, and Aquarius. In these signs, Venus is not as strong as in her own signs or in the sign of exaltation, but she still performs quite successfully.

The neutral signs for Venus are Aries, Scorpio, and Sagittarius. Neutrality implies indifference and detachment. These signs neither energize Venus significantly nor deplete her energy. Here, Venus manifests in a balanced, average way—neither poorly nor excellently.

The hostile signs for Venus are Cancer and Leo. These are unfavorable placements that deprive Venus of her potential.

Venus typically stays in one sign for less than a month and completes a journey through the entire zodiac in 224 days. It becomes retrograde for about one and a half months every year and a half. Due to its fast movement, Venus does not have enough time to form any significant events. In each sign, Venus remains for approximately three weeks, and in one degree, it stays for about a day (except during its retrograde period).

The transit of Venus pertains to the realms of relationships, love, intimate connections, finances, and personal values.

Depending on the sign and house through which transiting Venus moves, as well as the aspects it forms (Venus aspects the 7th house from itself, including any planets located there) during its transit, one can assess a person’s emotional state at a given moment. It becomes possible to understand where their feelings are directed, how happy or unhappy they are, their relationships with others, their current financial situation, and who or what might be influencing these aspects.

If Venus is free from negative aspects (taking into account not only the planets in the natal chart but also the transits of other planets), it brings good fortune in matters related to the house it transits through, alleviates tension, or even eliminates it entirely. The degree of success depends on the quality and strength of Venus in the natal chart, as well as the nature of the transiting aspects.

Venus transits should be closely monitored when planning the purchase of expensive items, important negotiations, financial transactions, or a wedding.

When meeting someone new, Venus's position can indicate what to expect from the encounter. Conjunctions or favorable aspects between transiting Venus and the natal Venus, or other planets in the natal chart, can point to beneficial or pleasant encounters. Negative aspects, however, warn to exercise caution, avoid rushing to conclusions about the situation or the person who has entered your life. The houses ruled by Venus (Taurus and Libra), the house where transiting Venus is currently located, and the aspects formed by transiting Venus at the time will reveal specific areas of concern.

Harmonious aspects of transiting Venus on the day of a wedding promote the formation of a family built on mutual understanding. Negative aspects, on the other hand, may reveal the reason for the marriage (e.g., a marriage of convenience) or suggest that the couple's relationship will face challenges. Similar observations apply to other matters associated with Venus.

Favorable aspects of transiting Venus bring prosperity, success, joy, and fulfillment of desires. During such times, people tend to be softer, more agreeable, sensitive, and delicate. If tensions exist in relationships, these aspects can defuse conflicts and smooth over differences. People become more understanding of one another and even more open. There is often a desire to make changes in relationships, seek mutual understanding, and embrace love, vivid emotions, and connection.

Intimate meetings, dates, engagements, and proposals are highly relevant during this period. It is an excellent time for celebrations, parties, and weddings. Creative inspiration is also heightened, and people often feel drawn to beauty, leading them to visit exhibitions and museums more frequently. The desire to socialize brings them to public gatherings, presentations, or meetings with friends. It is a favorable period for visits, new acquaintances, and relaxing with pleasant company.

Favorable aspects can also indicate financial gain. The house where Venus is transiting and the planet it aspects (also considering planets located near transiting Venus, if applicable) will reveal the source or nature of this gain.

Unfavorable aspects of transiting Venus bring disappointments, a bad mood, despondency, laziness, apathy, depression, and difficulties in expressing emotions. On the other hand, depending on the planet Venus aspects, there may be heightened emotions, hysteria, affectation, carelessness, capriciousness, frivolity, indulgence in one’s desires, excessive emotional demands, and dissatisfaction with a partner. All these factors create tension between people, disrupt harmony in relationships, and may lead to conflicts and scandals.

Broken hopes and heightened sensitivity contribute to feelings of offense and grievances. Communication fails to bring satisfaction, leading to doubt in one’s partner. There may be a cooling of feelings, which the other partner may perceive acutely. This cooling can either be temporary or reflect a real emotional distance. During this time, a partner’s infidelity may come to light, potentially resulting in separation.

Heightened sexuality and a desire for new experiences can provoke the search for a new partner, but relationships formed during this period are unlikely to be favorable. Such encounters may bring moral suffering or even sexually transmitted diseases.

Additionally, during this time, people tend to be more extravagant and lose their sense of moderation. There is a heightened risk of falling victim to fraudsters, speculators, or scammers.

Venus Transit in Aries

During Venus's transit through Aries, people become more sensitive and emotional, reacting sharply to jabs or criticisms, especially regarding their appearance. Things that would typically go unnoticed might now cause deep offense. There is an increased intolerance for overfamiliarity, which is often perceived as disrespect.

Women might feel hurt by a lack of attention but are more likely to take the initiative in starting new relationships. During this time, people tend to skip formalities, with events unfolding quickly. Relationships formed are often vivid, passionate, and memorable but short-lived. Rarely do such connections develop into true love or long-term commitments.

Not only women but also men take the initiative during this transit. Men become more inventive in their courtship, and both genders tend to showcase their best qualities. There is a pronounced need for recognition of one's feminine or masculine attributes, with people even interpreting compliments as veiled declarations of love.

Excessive passion and sensitivity can negatively impact work, public activities, or professional relationships. Money may be spent impulsively on unnecessary things, leading to financial losses.

Health tends to improve during this time, particularly concerning inflammatory processes, with chronic illnesses entering remission. However, there may be a risk of ailments such as pelvic organ issues, sore throats, or skin infections like abscesses.

Negative aspects of this transit can manifest as excessive emotionality, aggressiveness, or bouts of jealousy.

People might demand heightened attention to themselves while focusing solely on their own feelings and interests. They may react sharply to perceived disrespect or indifference, whether real or imagined. Relationship clarifications and scandals are common during this time, often accompanied by outbursts, grudges, and dramatic displays of emotions.

Such a person will actively initiate relationships with those they find attractive.

If you are in a relationship, you will take on more responsibility during this period. You will become the driving force behind events in your personal life. If you are seeking a partner, this is a favorable time for searching.

As Venus transits through the 1st house (associated with the head, appearance, health, character, and tendencies), it aspects the 7th house (marriage and partnerships of all kinds). Venus governs your 2nd house (speech, family resources, nourishment, and savings) and your 6th house (illnesses, enemies, debts, and work).

During this time, your income may increase, as the second house is related to finances.

As Venus transits through the 2nd house (family income, savings, speech, nourishment), it aspects the 8th house (unearned money, unexpected situations, partner's finances, inheritance, sexuality, secrets). Venus also rules your 8th house, indicating potential monetary gains or inheritance. You may receive gifts, make spontaneous purchases, or feel inclined to shower your loved one with presents during this transit. However, it may be difficult to control these impulses and avoid unnecessary spending.

During this period, relationships with colleagues, contractors, and clients may become more harmonious, particularly with women if you work alongside them. There might be an increase in workload, but interactions will bring joy.

For some, health-related issues may surface. This is a favorable time for preventative care; neglecting health concerns is not advisable.

The aspect of Venus extends from the 6th house (work, illnesses, debts, enemies) to the 12th house (expenses, work abroad, pilgrimages as work, working with foreigners, meditation, sex, solitude, sacrifice). Venus also governs your 12th house and 7th house (all types of partnerships, including marriage).

During this period, your partner will express their feelings toward you more actively. You will sense passion and desire from their side.

If you are not in a personal relationship, business partners may show increased interest in you.

While transiting the 7th house (marriage, any type of partnership), Venus aspects the 1st house (health, head, appearance, character, inclinations). Venus governs your 8th house (sexuality, unexpected money and situations, partner’s finances, secrets, esotericism) and your 1st house.

If you are a man, your partner might travel, seek solitude, or face circumstances requiring her to leave temporarily. If you are a woman, your relationships may experience brief interruptions, creating some distance from people.

You will find enjoyment in solitude during this time. Traveling to a place inaccessible to those close to you could be particularly rewarding. Such seclusion will have a positive impact on your well-being.

As Venus transits the 12th house (seclusion, foreign countries, meditation, sex, expenses, challenges, pilgrimage as work, or work with foreigners, self-sacrifice), it aspects the 6th house (hard work, illness, enemies, debts). Venus also governs your 6th house and 1st house (health, head, appearance, character, inclinations).

Venus Transit in Taurus

During this period, people tend to become lazier, more relaxed, and indulgent. They seek peace and comfort, often unconsciously choosing clothing made from soft, pleasant fabrics. Women, in particular, might spend more time shopping, carefully examining and touching items, deriving great pleasure from the experience. Resisting the temptation to buy something appealing—often expensive—is difficult. Venus’s transit through Taurus inclines people to purchase high-quality and costly items.

Material values that provide comfort, coziness, and a solid foundation take precedence. People invest in items that not only maintain their value over time but also appreciate in worth. This is an auspicious time for financial endeavors and business ventures. Creative individuals find this period favorable for projects, new ideas, and dedicating time to hobbies.

In partnerships, stability is a key characteristic of this transit. New connections are formed cautiously, while existing relationships grow stronger. With increased tactile sensitivity, there is a desire for physical contact with a loved one rather than brief phone conversations or short meetings. This is an excellent time for romance, giving lavish gifts, and delighting loved ones with exquisite meals—all of which will be deeply appreciated. However, it is important to avoid situations that might provoke jealousy, as such actions could be interpreted as a lack of love or trust.

Health is unlikely to be a concern during this period. If minor ailments arise, care, love, and natural remedies are especially effective. Attention should be directed toward self-care, such as massages, baths, and visits to beauty salons. The focus should be on pleasant procedures and exercises rather than strenuous physical activities.

During this time, desires extend beyond material possessions to include food, with an increased appetite. Moderation is essential.

Negative influences during this transit can cause dissatisfaction. Desires may exceed one’s capabilities, leading to frustration, especially among those unable to meet their needs. The lack of a steady partner, which may feel manageable at other times, can become particularly disheartening during this period. Those in romantic relationships might also struggle with unfulfilled desires, suspicions, jealousy, or lack of attention, which can even affect their work. Dissatisfaction may manifest as overindulgence in sweets or seeking extramarital connections, potentially resulting in conflicts.

Unlike the quick, fiery arguments typical of Venus’s transit through Aries, disagreements during its transit through Taurus can be prolonged and significantly strain relationships. Everything feels more serious during this time.

Under challenging aspects, the likelihood of conception increases, but pregnancy might face complications. There is a risk of sexually transmitted diseases. Financial transactions, bank operations, lending money, purchasing property, and cosmetic surgeries are not advisable during this transit.

During this period, the individual appears exceptionally attractive and leaves a positive impression wherever they go. Their appearance is impeccable, and they radiate kindness and inner light, naturally drawing others to them. They may also feel confident enough to initiate contact with someone they find appealing.

As Venus transits the 1st house (appearance, character, inclinations, head, health), it aspects the 7th house (marriage and all types of partnerships). Venus also rules the 1st house and the 6th house (work, enemies, debts, and illnesses).

During this period, you may receive a salary increase, a bonus, or other forms of financial rewards. Privileges, gifts, or bonuses might come your way, as others may feel inclined to present you with tokens of appreciation.

Venus, transiting the 2nd house (income, family resources, speech, food), aspects the 8th house (inheritance, unearned money, unexpected situations and finances, sexuality, secrets). Venus also governs your 2nd house and the 7th house (marriage and all types of partnerships).

You might feel a strong desire to make a significant purchase during this time, such as property, a vehicle, or other valuable items.

During this time, relationships with relatives, siblings, and neighbors may improve. There will be good communication, mutual understanding, and successful interactions with them and with the people you encounter daily (for example, fellow travelers on your way to work). You may become a person who receives compliments.

Pleasant communication may also occur online or over the phone.

Venus, transiting through the 3rd house (short trips, younger siblings, neighbors, everything you create with your hands), aspects the 9th house (luck, distant countries, dharma, father, guru, education). Venus also governs your 3rd house and the 8th house (unexpected money and situations, partner's money, sexuality, secrets, esotericism).
