What’s Interesting About Transit Venus Square Moon?

Let’s dig up some lesser-known takes from old astrology books about Venus square your natal Moon. In ancient texts, this aspect has a few quirky or surprising interpretations you won’t always find online today:

• The 17th-century astrologer William Lilly claimed Venus square Moon could cause people to crave sweet foods more than usual- sometimes to the point of gluttony or tummy troubles.
• Some medieval Arabian astrologers believed this transit could bring a tendency to be swayed easily by flattery or seductive words, warning of “false counsel from a friend with fair speech.”
• Ancient Greek astrologers sometimes said this transit stirs up “hidden rivalries among women,” especially among sisters or female friends, even if they usually get along.
• There’s a tradition in some Renaissance texts that feelings of nostalgia or homesickness are heightened under this transit, even leading to impulsive trips or sudden changes in home decor.
• One rare interpretation describes a temporary “softening” of the heart, where the person is more likely to forgive old grievances, but also more easily hurt by careless words.
• Vettius Valens, a 2nd-century astrologer, hinted that during this transit, people may become unusually attached to objects with sentimental value- like old letters, jewelry, or even clothing.

Experiencing Transit Venus Square Moon

When Venus forms a square to your natal Moon, emotions can get stirred up in interesting ways. Venus is about love, pleasure, beauty, and connection. The Moon is your emotions, inner needs, habits, and even your home life. So when they clash in a tense square aspect, you might feel pulled in two directions- wanting what feels good, but also needing emotional comfort and security. Relationships, moods, and even your self-care routines can all feel a little off-balance right now. Let’s look closer at what you might notice:

Challenges during Transit Venus Square Moon

• Mixed signals in relationships: You might feel like you need more affection, but what you get doesn’t quite hit the spot. Maybe you want comfort from a partner or friend, but their way of giving it feels wrong, or clashes with what you actually need.
• Overindulgence: Old astrology books weren’t joking- you could crave sweets, comfort food, or even a little retail therapy, especially as a way to soothe shaky feelings. There’s a risk of overdoing it and feeling regretful later.
• Clinginess or mood swings: You’re likely to feel more sensitive to criticism, or maybe you find yourself wanting people’s approval and affection a little too much. This can sometimes lead to coming across as needy or moody.
• Drama among close women: This is a classic time for misunderstandings or emotional tension with sisters, mothers, or female friends. Tiny issues can get blown out of proportion.
• Difficulty making decisions: You’ll probably notice your feelings pulling you one way and your desires pulling you another- like wanting to go out but also craving a cozy night alone. This back-and-forth can be pretty frustrating!

Opportunities during Transit Venus Square Moon

• Getting in touch with your emotional needs: The tension can highlight what you honestly need for comfort and security, versus what you thought you wanted. You might finally see, “Hey, I keep saying yes to things that don’t really feed my soul.”
• Letting go of old grudges: Since the heart is softened, it might be easier to forgive- but also to realize where your boundaries need shifting. So a heart-to-heart, even if it’s messy, can be more healing than you’d expect.
• Creativity and self-expression: This energy works well for art, music, decorating, or journaling. You could channel some of that churning emotion into making something beautiful- maybe even about your feelings right now.
• Understanding and helping others: You’re likely to be more empathetic and notice someone else’s hurt, even if they’re not saying it out loud. You might be the person to offer a supportive word or small act of kindness that really matters to someone.
• Feeling “worth it”: If you use this transit intentionally, it could be a great time to upgrade your self-care- no guilt. Whether it’s a cozy bath, buying yourself flowers, or just listening to your favorite music, you can turn your attention inward without shame.
