Avoid During Transit Venus Square Saturn
- Don’t start new romantic relationships- you might feel extra guarded or not your usual self with others.
- Avoid big fights or heavy talks with your partner; tension is higher and things can get blown out of proportion.
- Don’t make huge financial investments or big purchases; you might be feeling pessimistic or doubtful, which can lead to bad decisions.
- Try not to seek validation or approval from authority figures- you’ll probably feel more insecure than usual, and it’s easy to take things too personally.
- Don’t plan major beauty changes (like a drastic haircut or makeover); you could be too critical of yourself right now.
- Stay away from comparing yourself to others, especially about relationships or material stuff- it’s easy to be way too hard on yourself.
- Don’t isolate yourself completely, even if you feel lonely or misunderstood; some alone time is good, but don’t shut people out.
- Avoid dwelling on past relationship failures or regrets- this transit can bring those feelings to the surface, but it’s not a good time to judge yourself harshly.
To Do During Transit Venus Square Saturn
- Reflect on your relationships and see where you might need to set healthier boundaries.
- Work on self-care, especially if you’re feeling a little down or insecure about love or money.
- Focus on important responsibilities, even if you’re not in the mood- taking care of business will make things easier later.
- Have honest, respectful conversations with people close to you. It might be awkward, but it’ll clear the air.
- Be practical with your finances- it’s a good time to look closely at your budget or start saving for something long-term.
- Give yourself permission to say “no” if you need some personal space- it’s healthy to take a step back if you feel overwhelmed.
- Spend time by yourself if you need to recharge. It’s not selfish; it’s necessary sometimes.
- If love feels hard right now, it’s temporary. Use this time to understand what you really want in relationships.
- Practice patience- with yourself and with others. Things might move slower than you’d like, but that’s okay.
- Channel your emotions into something creative- art, music, writing, or anything that helps you express what you’re feeling.
What’s Interesting About Transit Venus Square Saturn?
- Some old texts say that Venus square Saturn can make a person “fearful of the pleasures of the table,” meaning you might suddenly lose interest in food and drink, or even feel guilty about indulging. Strange, right?
- There’s an old belief that during this transit, dreams relating to lost loves or unrequited affection might pop up more often, especially on rainy nights.
- Ancient astrologers sometimes said this aspect “cools the spirit of song,” so you might find yourself less interested in listening to music, singing, or enjoying art in general.
- According to medieval sources, this transit was thought to bring trouble with small valuables- like, you misplace a ring or a favorite keepsake, or jewelry breaks unexpectedly.
- Some even claimed this aspect could cause “awkwardness in public manners,” so you might feel self-conscious or like you’re out of sync in social situations, even if you’re usually confident.
- There’s also the notion that Venus square Saturn can “delay the arrival of sweet letters,” meaning you might not get the news or affection you’re waiting for from someone, like a late text message or unanswered email.
Experiencing Transit Venus Square Saturn
When Venus moves into a square aspect with your natal Saturn, things can feel a little extra heavy- especially around relationships, love, money, and even self-esteem. This transit has a way of shining a big bright spotlight on what’s missing or not working in these parts of life. You might catch yourself questioning the state of your heart or second-guessing your connections with others. Patience is a must, because it can feel like the things you want most- closeness, reassurance, or harmony- are just out of reach.
Challenges during Transit Venus Square Saturn
- Feeling lonely, misunderstood, or left out, especially in relationships or social groups. You might even pull away from others, fearing they don’t really care about you.
- Doubting yourself a lot more than usual- maybe questioning your looks, your worth, or thinking you’re “not enough” in some way.
- Trouble or delays with money. For example, you might not get paid on time or feel stressed about a bill you forgot.
- Romantic relationships can feel tense or distant, sometimes making you worry about rejection or abandonment.
- Seeing mistakes or imperfections in yourself or others, which can lead to criticism, nitpicking, or just not feeling satisfied.
- Creative inspiration might dry up, so making art, music, or just enjoying beauty could feel extra hard right now.
Opportunities during Transit Venus Square Saturn
- A chance to really look at your relationships and figure out which ones matter, and which ones might not be working for you anymore.
- You can build better boundaries- saying no without the guilt, and protecting your time or energy where it counts.
- Financial slowdowns can push you to get organized, budget, or pay attention to those little expenses that usually sneak by.
- By facing doubts or insecurities, you can actually come out feeling tougher and more self-sufficient. Saturn encourages real, lasting growth, even if it’s not always fun.
- Repairing something that’s broken- whether that’s a friendship you want to save, or your favorite piece of jewelry- can feel extra satisfying and meaningful.
- Creative blocks might push you to find new sources of inspiration, or try something totally different from your usual style.
