Transit Venus Conjunct Natal Sun

Charming Confidence Boost

Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Venus conjunct Sun transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t jump into new romantic relationships just because everything feels extra sweet- wait until the transit passes to see if the spark is real.
• Try not to overspend on luxury items, clothes, or beauty products; you might regret buying flashy things you don’t need.
• Avoid making big decisions about your self-image or appearance, like drastic haircuts, tattoos, or cosmetic procedures.
• Resist the urge to seek validation from others or put your self-worth in someone else’s hands.
• Don’t ignore red flags in relationships or go overboard trying to please people just to keep the peace.
• Avoid gossiping or getting caught up in drama- Venus energy can make you want to stay popular, but it’s not worth it.
• Be careful not to overindulge in sweets, comfort food, or partying; doing too much of what feels good now can backfire later.
• Try not to shirk responsibilities just because you’re in the mood for fun or relaxation.
• Don’t agree to financial partnerships or investments on impulse, even if they seem shiny and promising.
• Avoid letting flattery or charm sway big choices; stay true to what feels right deep down.

Do During This Transit

• Express yourself: This is a perfect time to show off your unique style, update your look, or try something new with fashion or beauty.
• Connect with others: You’ll feel extra charming now, so reach out to friends, make new connections, or mend any misunderstandings.
• Enjoy romance: This transit is super sweet for love and flirting. Ask your crush out, plan a date, or spice things up in your relationship.
• Pamper yourself: Treat yourself to something you enjoy, whether it’s a spa day, your favorite meal, or a relaxing activity.
• Create art: If you like music, painting, writing, or any creative hobby, inspiration is flowing right now! Dive in and make something beautiful.
• Be your own cheerleader: Your self-confidence can get a boost, so don’t be afraid to show what makes you special or share your talents.
• Focus on harmony: It’s easier to find compromise, smooth over disagreements, and keep things peaceful at home or work during this time.
• Make yourself seen: If there’s something you want to announce, perform, or present, do it now- people are more likely to react positively.
• Appreciate beauty: Go to a museum, listen to music, or just enjoy nature. Surround yourself with things that make you feel good.
• Practice gratitude: Take a moment to think about what and who makes your life brighter, and maybe let them know you appreciate them.

What’s interesting about this transit?

Venus conjunct the natal Sun is a pretty sweet transit, but old astrology books had some interesting takes on it. A few obscure or lesser-known interpretations from ancient sources include:

• In the writings of Vettius Valens, Venus joining the Sun was said to "soften the fire of pride" and make a person more agreeable even to those they considered rivals.
• Some medieval astrologers believed this transit could bring unexpected gifts- sometimes literally, sometimes people would just be offered rare things (like rare fruit or fancy textiles), especially from women or people with Venusian qualities.
• Ancient Arab astrologers wrote that when Venus conjoins the Sun, it was a good time to repair or wear gold jewelry, as it was less likely to break or tarnish then.
• Renaissance-era sources claimed that artists born with Venus-Sun conjunctions would have sudden surges of inspiration during Venus transits, leading to important works or creative breakthroughs.
• Some old folk traditions warned that wishes made during a Venus-Sun transit were "bound to the heart," meaning they had a stronger chance of coming true, but also stuck with you for a long time- so wish with care!
• In a few old texts, this transit was considered a time for strengthening one’s hair and skin, with herbal baths or oils believed to work extra well if used now.
• There was a belief in some corners of ancient Persia that dreams during this transit carried messages from someone who loved you, but maybe hadn’t said so out loud yet.

Experiencing This Transit

When Venus passes over your natal Sun, things feel a bit softer and more enjoyable. This is like taking in a warm breeze or seeing the world in friendlier colors for a while. You might be craving connection, affection, or just plain good vibes. People are likely to notice you more, and not just for your looks- there’s a general magnetism that comes alive. You might catch yourself wanting to style your hair a new way, buy yourself something cute, or reach out to people you find attractive or fun. It’s also pretty common to find yourself thinking about love and what makes you happy, both on the inside and outside.

Challenges during this transit

• Too Much of a Good Thing: With Venus dialed up, sometimes you want to splurge or overindulge- think impulse shopping, too many sweets, or spending too much on beauty or luxury.
• People-Pleasing: You might bend over backwards to keep things nice- even at your own expense. It’s easy to put aside your true feelings just to keep the peace during this transit.
• Over-romanticizing: There’s a tendency to put certain people or situations on a pedestal, seeing only the good and ignoring red flags, especially in relationships.
• Vanity Trips: You could get a little stuck on appearances- worrying more than usual about how you look or what others think of you. There’s a risk of losing touch with what really matters.
• Trouble Deciding: Venus likes harmony, so making even small choices (like which new shirt to buy or where to go out to eat) can feel trickier than usual because you don’t want to upset anyone or yourself.

Opportunities during this transit

• Boosted Charisma: You’ll be just a little bit more charming, graceful, and likable. Great time for going on dates, making new friends, or asking for favors.
• Creativity Surge: You might get bursts of artistic inspiration. This is awesome for singing, drawing, designing, writing, or even just redecorating your room- anything creative flows smoother.
• Self-Appreciation: You’ll probably see the best in yourself for a change. It’s easier to feel comfortable in your own skin, try new looks, or put yourself out there.
• Making Amends: Venus wants everyone to get along. If there’s an old fight that needs patching up, you’ll have the charm and grace to do it now.
• Enjoying Life: This is an awesome window to take pleasure in life’s simple things- a sunny walk, a good song, a sweet treat. The little joys feel bigger and more rewarding.
• Meeting Good People: You may attract pleasant, helpful, or even loving people right now- new friends, admirers, or new love interests all tend to show up during this transit.
