Venus

Venus Enters Gemini

Venus enters Gemini on May 23rd at exactly 3:30 pm CDT and will stay here until June 16th. It is time for us to transition away from the sensual and materialistic influences of Venus in Taurus and open ourselves up to a more cerebral and interconnected form of love that is characterized by intellectual stimulation and genuine friendship.

Venus Enters Aquarius

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.

Venus Enters Capricorn

Venus enters Capricorn on January 23rd at exactly 2:50 am CST and will stay here until February 16th. We now need to shift away from boldness and candor when dealing with others toward a more mature approach as we become more committed and devoted to our relationships. For the next three weeks, express genuine affection for others, be more serious about your relationships and trustworthy. 

Venus Enters Libra

Venus enters Libra on November 8th at exactly 3:30 a.m. CST and will stay here until December 4th. While Venus was in Virgo, it may have been too easy to be critical of others and overly analytical about our relationships. Now Venus is back in one of the signs it likes best, which should help us be more tolerant and see matters much more reasonably.

Venus Enters Taurus

Venus enters Taurus on March 16th at exactly 5:34 pm CDT and will stay here until April 10th. This is a positive shift for Venus as it finally returns to one of its home signs after many months! Venus loves the strength and comfort Taurus provides because love (and money, Venus does rule money, after all) flourishes under stable conditions.

Venus Enters Capricorn

Venus enters Capricorn on December 9th at 9:54 pm CST and stays here until January 2nd. Venus has no debility or dignity in Capricorn and will be ruled by a strong Saturn in Aquarius, so this may be an excellent time to solidify or strengthen your relationships. This transit will also be an ideal time to deal with financial issues as we are likely to make sensible and responsible choices.

Venus Enters Scorpio

Venus enters Scorpio on October 23rd at exactly 2:52 am CDT and will stay here until November 16th. Venus is unfortunately rather unhappy in Scorpio, and matters will be compounded further by Mars, Venus’s ruler, stationing retrograde. The next three weeks will allow us to assess our relationships once again and perhaps even cut ties with those not meeting our emotional needs.

Venus Enters Libra

Venus enters Libra on September 29th at exactly 2:49 am CDT and will stay here until October 23rd. Finally, Venus gets a break! Relationships have been struggling, but that should change now that Venus is in one of their most comfortable signs. We’ve finally finished the brutal examination of our relationships while Venus was in Virgo, and we are ready to prioritize those based on mutual respect and understanding.

Venus Enters Virgo

Venus enters Virgo on September 4th at 11:05 pm CDT and will stay here until September 29th. This will be a tricky Venus transit as Venus’ ruler, Mercury, will station retrograde on September 9th, which means our relationships may begin to backpedal or hit some bumps. We may become over-critical of where things stand, and it will be crucial for us not to get lost in a maze of analysis or judgment.

Venus Enters Leo

Venus enters Leo on August 11th at exactly 1:30 pm CDT and will stay here until September 4th. This transit encourages us to get back in touch with our own aesthetic - what we find beautiful and attractive. We are also ready for our expressions of love to get bigger and bolder, as we love ourselves and others more. It’s time to bring whatever romantic feelings or values you've kept in the dark into the light.

Venus Enters Gemini

Venus enters Gemini on June 22 at exactly 7:34 pm CDT and will stay here until July 17th. The focus of our relationships and values undergo a shift away from pleasure and comfort toward connection and engagement. We must understand and appreciate that relationships do not thrive under silence and can not evolve if they lack mental stimulation.
