Venus enters Aquarius on February 16th at exactly 10:05 am CST and will stay here until March 11th. With Venus now in an air sign, we should focus more on maintaining communication in our relationships as well as our mental connection with others. For the next three weeks, appreciate what makes others different or special, value long-lasting relationships, and see past what others have on the surface.
Many confuse Venus in Aquarius as prioritizing friendship more than romantic love, but that may be because they are confusing the 11th house with Aquarius. As a fixed air sign ruled by Saturn, Venus in Aquarius values romantic love and friendship like all the other signs. So, let’s move past this idea of equating Aquarius with the 11th house and consider the true nature of Venus here.
What makes Venus in Aquarius special is its ability to see past the surface of other people to really notice and value what makes them different. If you’ve ever been loved by someone who truly loves you for you, you know how intoxicating and unforgettable being seen like that is. Let’s spend this time treasuring the unique qualities we love in others and root past people’s exteriors to find something beautiful.
Long-lasting relationships will also become a bigger priority for us over these next few weeks. Aquarius is a fixed sign, so once it sets its energy in a direction, it likes to stay in that direction. Relationships that have stood the test of time deserve extra appreciation, so remember to honor those who have stuck around during this time.
As with all air signs, Venus in Aquarius needs lots of healthy back-and-forth communication. Prioritize staying in contact with those you care about and really appreciate those in your life with whom you can talk openly and freely.
You know that weird thing about you that you assume no one would ever like? Venus in Aquarius has no problem with it. Probably likes you even more because of it. So be your weird self around others. I promise there is someone who thinks all of you is absolutely perfect.
