Venus transiting the planets

Venus conjunct Sun

Transits from Venus always stimulate your love, affection, and admiration for beauty. The only serious downfall is that they’re usually brief but can last for three days under proper circumstances. For today, devote more time in your creative and more imaginative endeavors. At this time you wish to express your warmhearted affections in every possible way. Art and music will be more interesting and you shouldn’t ignore your ingenuity. Even if you’ve been down in the dumps for the past little while, the positive energy from Venus is working her magic in tandem with your spirit for the time being. Your charming personality rubs off on those around you and it’s possible you brighten someone’s day. Even though you’re more inclined to laze around and accomplish very little you can still be productive. Because you're more approachable than usual others will open up and trust you with their sensitive insecurities. Make sure not to betray someone’s trust and possibly ruin a relationship or push away a possible ally. The sky is bluer, flowers smell sweeter, and even more than other Venus transits, this is a great time for entertainment beautification. Getting your hair done, purchasing new jewelry, or redecorating your home are all appropriate expressions of this transit. Just make sure not to spend next month's rent money on something stupid like a KISS tattoo. If you decide a fancy meal is in order, don’t order the most expensive bottle of wine. You can spend an entire week’s worth of food money on one simple bottle of booze. Venus isn’t known for moderation when it comes to splurging on herself. Your personal magnetism is so strong you might cast an unknown spell on an unsuspecting victim causing them to fall uncontrollably in love with you. Despite whatever pleasantries Venus brings, she absolutely refuses to accept any form of displeasure or disruptions of harmony. An intentional blind eye now can and will cause problems later down the road. Like all transits of Venus this alignment can lead into some type of love affair. Look to the positioning of Jupiter and Saturn to see if there will be any substance or if this is just a fleeting crush. If you decide to take a getaway you might end up in a weekend fling so make sure to use protection with any random partners.

Venus conjunct Moon

Both Venus and the Moon trigger our emotions and the nurturing qualities of our character. These entities are the embodiment of feminine energy and their influence has a significant effect on our feelings, habitual reactions, and relationships with the females in our lives. When the lesser benefic crosses over Lady Luna you become more aware of how your interactions with others affect you in a more personal way. The feelings you have towards those closest to you feel more personal and you may need to release some pent up frustrations on a trusted companion. Even if you’re an emotional trainwreck, Venus can comfort you through the connections with others. For the most part you’re going to be friendly and outgoing with most everyone you contact for a couple days. Most transits from Venus last three days at most and under some circumstance even only three hours. Unless there are severely negative afflictions from other planets this should be a wonderful time. Again, the only problem is it lasts for just a day or two. Unless your Moon sign is Sagittarius you’re more interested to interact with those you’re already familiar with. Especially comforting is the connection you have with your mother. If you have an estranged relationship with her then this transit may leave a sour taste in your mouth. Whether or not you communicate with your mother much or not, this transit will intensify your feelings towards her. If you have been having problems in your relationship this progression will allow you to recognize your feelings and if you handle them responsibly amends can be made and problems resolved.

These two planets are completely lost in love and their over romanticized nature can lead to emotional let downs. Sometimes it’s like getting socks for your birthday when you expected a boat cruise. Their dreamy nature can also make you easily influenced by others and susceptible to their deceit. Instances like this are not extremely rare but not common enough to be considered consistent. Chances are once again you fall in love with love or someone unavailable and become obvious to the motives of others. This is an entirely passive transit and you will avoid a fight at most costs. If Jupiter is closely involved during this time you could experience significant good fortune which allows you to gain materialistically or financially. The one major malfunction to avoid is your desire to take things to an excess. Pay close attention to your spending during this week, you may end up wasting away your bill money for your pleasure money.

Venus conjunct Mercury

Because these two planets are among the fastest, their contacts with each other are usually casual and fleeting. When Venus transits your natal Mercury the way you communicate with people you interact with on a daily basis becomes more important. Sometimes this can indicate a connection with a distant associate or complete stranger, but that will take other planets to manifest. This transit will put a motor in your mouth and you might blow up your social media with your pictures and comments. Today, you desire to talk and talk and talk. Be prepared to get told to shut the f@ck up and your foot might taste extra delicious with a little ranch on it. One of the best results of this transit is your ability to discuss your opinion clearly and in a way others will respond warmly to. Unless there are afflictions from the other planets this is usually a positive transit provided you can identify the positive things. Remember, your actions are directed by your dominant thoughts and they will be your guides. If you can instill the beauty of Venus into your cognitive thinking you can resolve a handful of small inconveniences without breaking a sweat. This can also be a period where your ability to tolerate and communicate with children becomes easier and more enjoyable. Kids are amazing when they’re not screaming around breaking stuff. If you have been in need of an emotional conversation Venus and Mercury can provide just that. It might take a little help from the Moon, but the emotional side of this conjunction will provide you with comfort and support. Even if the topic is a depressing one, the pleasantries of Venus will help ease the effects but don’t try to have any long in depth conversations which require much attention. It will be difficult for you to focus on anything that doesn’t have to do with your social life, and this may also be a good time to host a party or start planning a social event. If you’re in the mood, consider attending someone else’s get together and make some new friends. Individuals who are musicians, artists, or writers can find this transit especially useful. Consider taking a short day trip somewhere to inspire your imagination. As with any Venus transit, you should find a way to show your love and affection towards someone. If nobody has called you during the day consider calling a friend or someone you haven’t had contact with for a while.

Venus conjunct Venus

This is one of the luckiest times of the year for you. The powers of Venus attract money, possessions, and friends. Transits like these are meant to relieve the difficulties the other planets are producing. When you’re stressed out, Venus uses her charm and gracefulness to ease your pain and when she has returned to her natal position the energies are much more glorified. I personally think this can indicate turning over a completely new leaf by establishing yourself somewhere in a relationship. Not strong enough by itself to signify a new relationship, this transit does indicate that contacts with your current friends will have deeper impacts. People who are single might get out and mingle more than usual so be careful. I use this transit when I predict pregnancies and marriage. By no means does this indicate you’re going to conceive or propose marriage, but it’s a very good start. House placement will be the general indicator of where the relationship might be developing from. Slightly second only to a Jupiter transit, when Venus returns to her natal position you may be quite fortunate. Consider lottery tickets, casino trips, or other financially dangerous endeavors where luck can play a factor. Don’t speculate too much though. Venus is not known for being modest when spoiling herself and whether it’s expensive food or other impulse buys, nothing is too good or over the top. A luxurious vacation would be a great expression for this transit, especially if it occurs in your ninth house. Unless there are significantly negative afflictions from Mars and Saturn, either natally or currently, then this transit should turn out for the better. If the two Malefics aren’t cooperating then this can be a stressful time where all your relationships are caving in. Then things can go completely crazy, possibly even violent.

Venus conjunct Mars

When I predict pregnancies one of the transits I look for first is when Venus crosses over your natal Mars. This alignment stimulates your sexuality and in layman terms makes you horny as fuck. For a few days your bedroom desires are going to be aroused in a way you’re not normally used to. It’s kinda like when animals go through their natural heat/estrus cycles. Reproduction is what keeps humans around and this transit is vital to that process. Venus craves affection and Mars is the planet of fire who invigorates your most primitive passions. When the two tango sometimes the final result is a little bundle of joy. Unlike when Mars crosses your Venus, the effects of this transit are meant to soften your anger and relieve any anxieties. The emotional comfort you seek can only be found in a developed relationship with a partner you’ve previously bonded with. When it’s Mars making the alignment to Venus you’re much more scandalous in your sexual activities. Although if you’re single, this can be a very lustful transit with your feelings directed towards someone you’ve already established a rapport with. The lighter side of this transit will make you make you more receptive to your partners needs. Although you need a good filling yourself, you understand that if you’re kinder and more affectionate to someone they’re more likely to return the favor. Remember ass, grass. or cash. No free rides. Sometimes Venus can be so oblivious you can’t tell your elbows from a poptart. Make sure you don’t become the victim of someone’s abuse simply to feel a part of a relationship. Venus is completely lost without a partner and will tolerate amazing atrocities to maintain one. As you become much more social and compromising you feel there is a balanced equilibrium between what you desire and what you have. Even if you’re not happy with your situation you still feel comfortable. If you’re not satisfied within a relationship this is when you will take action adjusting it. Your individual ego is trying to establish itself with those around you but Venus will only do it in the most socially acceptable way. Because of these alleviated hostilities you can settle arguments rationally, without much physical confrontation or aggravation. Although if you have problems with Mars and Venus natally this transit can turn you into an overreacting buffoon, lashing out inappropriately at others.

Venus conjunct Jupiter

Venus and Jupiter have a very special relationship and together they’re known as the two benefics. Jupiter, the greater benefic, is king of philosophy and high hopes. His possessions are in the spiritual realm which are meant to uplift and provide optimism. The lesser benefic, Venus, is the definition of beauty and grace but her possessions are in the material world and I believe this one of the best transits in all astrology. Other than when Jupiter is transiting over your natal Venus, nothing can produce such wonderful energy and positive feelings. The only major setback is this generally lasts for just one day. Usually it’s a damn good day. Even if you’re cooped up on a rainy day you’ll find some inner inspiration from a personal connection. Most of your relationships should seem to flow very positively today, and even the dysfunctional ones are more manageable. If Venus is poorly aspected in your natal chart the effects can be entirely different. Sometimes life has to blow up in your face in order for you to see a problem and the empty-headedness of Venus can entirely overlook the most debilitating situation. If things have been difficult you will see them start to resolve your issues and get along with business as usual. Jupiter always provides the light at the end of a dark and dreary tunnel. If there is a dispute you need to address this may be the day you finally get the beef off your chest. Jupiter has a huge ego and you’re not afraid to express yours today. The socially refined Venus will allow you to do so in a much more compromising way during this transit.

For those interested in the higher philosophies of life, today will be a perfect day to connect with the universe. If this transit coincides with other positive influences, this can be one of the best times of your life. Getting together with people who share your interests will allow you to broaden your horizons and learn from outside the box. Business wise this couldn’t get any better. If you have been setting yourself up properly then this will be a day of great rewards. Refrain from making big purchases today and stick to selling only if the profits are large. The reason you should stay away from major purchases is because you’re not thinking in a completely responsible way for the time being. Venus is always likely to spend more than she can really afford and Jupiter enhances the sometimes gluttonous attributes. If you want to make a big purchase under this transit it would be wise to look at Saturn's position as well. A positive contact from it will stabilize your rational thinking. You should definitely consider going to the casino and spinning the roulette wheel. Place one dollar on each of the planetary degrees in your natal chart. It may sound hokey, but I have personally experienced the luck from this transit and completely believe it’s true.

Venus conjunct Saturn

Of all the transits of Venus the progression over your natal Saturn is probably the least glorious all. Despite whatever lackluster or melancholy feelings you might be having, this is an excellent time to analyze the way relationships play a role in your life. Some affiliations fill romantic needs, others satisfy business or educational obligations, and some are simply for fun. The structural properties of Saturn are meant to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of whatever it touches. Whether it’s your romantic, casual, or business relationships, for the few days this transit might last you’re going to see just how other people use your resources or provide some form of sustenance. Sometimes you’re the problem, sometimes you’re not. This week you're going to get a glimpse of which witch is which. Look at the condition of whichever planet rules the house to get an idea of what might be in store. Analyzing the Moon is equally important because her position will indicate what kind of emotional state you’re in and how you will probably react to an intense situation. Generally this is a sobering wake up to all the needless people you have in your life. Sometimes this can indicate a break up or temporary separation of a long term friendship or partnership. Even under the best of conditions you’re in an emotional doldrum and may not feel very affectionate ever towards your closest loved ones. This isn’t because you don’t care, you’re just emotionally restricted and have difficulties expressing your inner feelings. Unlike most transits from Venus, you’re not too likely to live excessively this week. This isn’t a time to spend money unless you’ve triple checked the documents and you’re positive all the I’s are dotted and the T’s are crossed. It’s a wonderful transit to get married and sign contracts committing you to someone else. If you have responsibility issues like me this can be one of the more difficult Venus alignments you will experience. Like the Bible says in proverbs, the lazy man doesn’t eat, you can see how your actions are affecting your current situation. An unfortunate truth is that you’re eventually responsible for your own actions and you’ll easily see your mistakes.

Venus conjunct Uranus

First rule of Uranus, don't try to predict anything involving this planet. Nothing will ever come out as expected and the conjunction of Venus over your natal Uranus is no different. About the only thing you can anticipate is that highly unusual people and events are going to reshape the way your relationships function and how you interact with others. Whether it’s someone from a foreign country or a silly squirrel getting into your trees this transit will never be the same each year. Rarely will nothing happen. There will be at least one out of this world occurrence you can point your finger at and say there, that is it. This alignment can also be expressed by random meetings with friends you haven’t seen in years. People will unexpectedly pop up and reintegrate themselves into your everyday life like they were never absent. Also, don’t be surprised when you befriend someone with a completely different background and they open your eyes to a culture considerably more diverse than your own. If you’re the artistic type this transit can stimulate your imagination in ways you could never anticipate. You’re out and about seeking new excitements and you’re probably going to find what you’re looking for. On the converse side, it’s quite possible that you become nothing but an agitated disruption today. Make sure not to cause trouble wherever you go and don’t get offended if someone tells you to piss off. Uranus can make you obsessively compulsive and you need to pay attention to your spending habits and individual actions. If the rebellious side of Uranus wants to raise hell it’s probably going to. If your life is already unpredictable don’t expect this transit to make it any better. If there are other planets forming difficult aspects this conjunction can make the disruption substantially worse. Like a good knuckleball, the best way to catch it is to wait until it stops rolling and pick it up. Sometimes the Sun and Moon work counterproductive to your ambitions for a reason and you’ll have to find that through meditation and personal reflection. If their influence is good during this time you might receive unexpected gifts or bonuses. Because Uranus is a generational planet the effects will be greater for those with this planet closely aligned to their ascendant. For those lacking an influence from Uranus this transit might only last a couple hours as opposed to a couple days. Make sure you get out and exercise when you feel you have too much energy. If you don’t release these tensions you may get headaches and actual physical hindrances.

Venus conjunct Neptune

Both Venus and Neptune are known for beauty, creativeness, as well as their delusional obliviousness. Neither are instilled with much of a backbone, and the Moon is in the same boat as this duo when it comes to emotion and tenderness. Neptune is the higher octave of love and ultimate compassion who requests nothing for unconditional love. Venus is much more selfish and will give you everything she has but demands your heart and affection in return. Venus understands the materialistic side of relationships and expects nothing but your all. They each see true love through even the most troublesome times and will tolerate even the most vicious abuses. All alone the transit is nothing but peaches and rainbows but don’t get too confident. This conjunction has no individual structure and will definitely be influenced by the other planets. Neptune is a very subtle entity who doesn’t operate in any form of consistency. These energies are embedded within your inner unconscious and only reveal themselves when the tide is right. In the greatest of possibilities this alignment indicates complete selflessness in all your relationships. You’re more dedicated to the needs of those you love and feel compelled to display that. If you’re single, this can show you becoming infatuated with someone who isn’t available or completely out of your league. If you’re not careful you may become completely lost and have no aspects of reality. The only consistent affect is excessive daydreaming and wanderlust type feelings. Don’t make any concrete plans or begin any long term projects unless there are structuring influences from Saturn. No matter how hard you try, or how intelligent you perceive yourself to be, you aren’t in a rational mind frame and must act appropriately. Much like the other generational planets, Uranus and Pluto, influences from Neptune are felt much greater when closely aligning with your ascendant. Under the worst circumstances this can show a total disappointment between you and someone you love. Sometimes the complete failure of a relationship is necessary for us to grow spiritually, and this is the transit that does just that. Not necessarily a romantic relationship, a business endeavor is just as susceptible to the breakdowns you encounter. Artists, musicians, and writers should pay extra attention to this week. Neptune will allow you to suspend your perception of reality and contact other realms of this universe. Drifting off into space land can be productive if you can actualize your dreams. Just make sure when this transit is over you ground yourself back here on Earth.

Venus conjunct Pluto

When Venus transits over your natal Pluto there can be many paths the energies take. The forces of Pluto generate issues involving jealousy, possessiveness, and obsessions. This is a double edged sword indicating that you may develop these feelings towards something or someone else. In turn, this can show others developing these problems over you. It doesn’t matter whether it’s people, possessions or philosophies, for a brief period you’re going to be very attached to some of your things. Plutonian forces don’t run strong in all of us and you’ll need to look at its relationship with your natal ascendant to see how much you’re affected by the power. Sometimes this transit can pass relatively unnoticed where you only get a little miffed about a petty situation. Other times, it will produce an atomic bomb and scatter radioactive shrapnel everywhere you can see. The ripples of chaos can sometimes be felt two or three months later if you don’t handle them accordingly. One of the duties of Pluto is to completely destroy and replace with something better. Because Venus represents the relationships in your life, this combination can be quite explosive. During the week it takes for this transit to completely pass you’re unconsciously seeking intense love encounters and might expose yourself to situations which are sketchy at best. Sometimes you’ll sabotage yourself to the point you actually cause a physical injury. Quite often this transit will simply indicate an argument over something you own. This is because this is a selfish transit where you’re prone to attaching yourself to a material object and refuse to let go. For young children this is especially problematic and there will be uncontrollable tantrums. In the worst possible form, this indicates someone from your past resurfaces simply to cause problems. If this situation does arise it’s because of something you previously buried somewhere along the line. Unseen enemies can sprout from nowhere and alliances may be developed with former enemies. You may also become so incredibly infatuated with someone that you fail to recognize anything else around you. The energies of Pluto are usually destructive and chaotic. Unfortunately, sometimes you’re desperately clinging to something and it must rid itself. Unlike the Square, where you might terminate a relationship completely, the conjunction is the marking of the Phoenix rising from the ashes. If you previously ended connections with someone close to you during the applying square, it’s possible you resolve your issues or further the separation.
