Transit Venus Sextile Natal Moon

Sweet emotional vibes.

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

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t ignore your feelings or brush them aside- this transit makes emotions flow more easily, so pay attention to what comes up.
• Avoid overindulging in sweets, comfort food, or spending too much just because you’re feeling good- keep things balanced.
• Don’t make promises about relationships or friendships you’re not ready to keep. It’s easy to want to please everyone now.
• Try not to avoid necessary confrontations or tough conversations. It’s tempting, but avoidance won’t solve anything.
• Don’t get swept up in nostalgia or clinginess. Appreciate your memories, but don’t let them keep you from moving forward.
• Resist the urge to gossip or get involved in other people’s drama- even if it’s meant to be supportive, it can backfire.
• Avoid making big, serious decisions about love, money, or living situations during this smooth, dreamy energy.
• Don’t ignore your own needs for the sake of making others happy- find a healthy balance of giving and receiving.
• Don’t take people’s support and kindness for granted. Appreciate the sweet moments, but don’t expect them to last forever.

Do During This Transit

• Spend extra time with loved ones- it’s a great transit for deepening emotional bonds.
• Have heart-to-heart conversations, especially if you’ve been wanting to clear the air or share your feelings.
• Host a small gathering with friends or family. The mood is light and full of kindness.
• Take part in creative activities like drawing, writing, or decorating your home.
• Treat yourself to something comforting, like a favorite meal or a cozy movie night.
• Show appreciation to the people who support you. Simple thank-yous go a long way right now.
• If you’ve been thinking about making up with someone after a disagreement, do it- the energy is really forgiving.
• Self-care routines will feel especially nurturing, so book that massage or take a long bath.
• Express affection openly, whether by giving compliments or just hugging someone you care about.
• Listen to your gut when it comes to feelings- intuition is running strong during this transit.

What’s interesting about this transit?

• In some old Renaissance astrological texts, Venus sextile the Moon was said to make one “beloved amongst those of lesser rank,” meaning people might notice you’re easier to get along with, especially those you don’t usually pay attention to.
• Some ancient Persian astrologers believed this transit was a lucky period for mending clothes, repairing household decorations, or doing any kind of home beautification- basically, Venus’s gentle harmony with the Moon sends a green light for all things domestic, even the little stuff.
• Older lunar astrology sometimes linked this transit to an increase in dreams of gardens, flowers, or gentle rains. The connection comes from Venus’s rulership of plants and beauty, mixing with the Moon’s domain of dreams and sleep.
• In 17th-century European astrology, it was suggested this transit helped women smooth over old quarrels within their families, especially with mothers or grandmothers- Venus being the peacemaker with the Moon (family).
• Some obscure sources mention that food tastes sweeter and living things respond better to your presence under this transit, so pets might be extra cuddly or plants might seem more lively when you water them.
• An old folk saying connected to this transit was that “bread baked under Venus Moon’s sextile feeds the heart as well as the body,” hinting at the emotional satisfaction of sharing meals during this time.

Experiencing This Transit

When Venus forms a sextile to your natal Moon, you get a little dose of emotional sunshine. Life tends to flow a bit easier on the inside- your feelings and your sense of what’s pleasant or beautiful are working together. It’s a nice, supportive vibe, almost like the universe is sending you a friendly wink. You might notice yourself wanting to spend time with the people you trust the most, or maybe you feel suddenly inspired to make your bedroom comfier, cook something sweet, or just be a little gentler with yourself.

Challenges during this transit

• Overindulgence: Since Venus loves pleasure and the Moon seeks comfort, you might head straight for sugar, carbs, retail therapy, or binge-watching your favorite comfort show a little too much. It’s easy to want to spoil yourself- and sometimes that gets out of hand.
• Tendency to Avoid Problems: The easy flow might make you more likely to brush things under the rug because you just don’t feel like dealing with stress now.
• Getting Too Sentimental: Old memories or feelings might surface, especially nostalgic ones, and while that can be sweet, it also might make it hard to stay in the present if you get too wrapped up in the past.
• Boundary Issues: You’re more open-hearted now, so you might accidentally say “yes” to things you should have said “no” to, just because you want to make people happy.

Opportunities during this transit

• Healing Connections: This is a great time to patch things up with friends or family. If there’s been tension, you’ve got a little extra charm and empathy to help things smooth over.
• Creativity Flows: Artistic or DIY projects- especially those that make your home or daily life prettier- come more naturally. Try drawing, redecorating, baking, or even writing a heartfelt message.
• Self-Care Boost: It’s easier to nurture yourself now. You might actually enjoy giving yourself a face mask, relaxing bath, or just choosing a night in with cozy vibes.
• Enjoying Relationships: Whether it’s romance, friends, or family, spending time with your favorite people feels even sweeter. If there’s someone you’ve wanted to grow closer with (or even just share a nice meal), this is perfect timing.
• Emotional Wisdom: Your instincts about what will make you (and others) feel good are strong right now. Trust your gut, and use it to bring more kindness into your everyday interactions.
