“Exciting sparks in love and friendships.”
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Venus sextile Uranus transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t make drastic changes in your love life just for excitement- you might regret impulsive decisions later.
- Avoid risky financial moves; the urge to try something new with money isn’t always smart.
- Don’t ignore your partner’s feelings if you’re in a relationship, especially if you’re craving freedom or novelty.
- Avoid breaking your routine just for the sake of rebellion. Not everything needs to change right now!
- Don’t start brand new relationships or friendships just because they seem “different”- let things develop naturally.
- Avoid ghosting or suddenly disconnecting from people. Sudden endings can hurt more than you realize.
- Don’t take on too many social obligations. The energy can be excitable and a little scattered, so pace yourself.
- Avoid being insensitive or too blunt when sharing your quirky ideas. Other people might need time to catch up.
- Don’t chase after every shiny new thing- focus matters, even if you feel bored.
Do During This Transit
- Try something new in your appearance- maybe a fresh haircut, bold outfit, or unique accessories.
- Say “yes” to unexpected invitations, last-minute plans, or meeting new people.
- Let yourself flirt or have fun with romance, especially if it’s a little out of your usual comfort zone.
- Shake up your routine- switch up your daily schedule, explore new hobbies, or try a different route to work or school.
- Experiment with your creativity- art, music, writing, or even decorating your space in a quirky way.
- Be open to surprising opportunities, like a spontaneous trip or an exciting new project at work.
- Connect with friends who have offbeat interests or backgrounds- unique people will inspire you now.
- Share your original ideas with others- they’re more likely to be well-received and spark excitement.
- Enjoy a fun date night or group activity that’s outside the “usual”- think escape rooms, themed parties, or a dance class.
- Embrace your authentic self, even if it means being a bit “weird” or unconventional- you’ll attract the right people and experiences for you.
What’s Interesting About This Transit
- Unexpected Artistic Talent: According to J.R. Ramey’s The Celestial Minutiae (1874), Venus sextile Uranus could “render the native temporarily skilled with fine brush and musical tone, as if inspired by a muse unknown to them prior.” It’s like discovering you can suddenly play the piano or paint, especially if you’ve never tried before.
- Allure That Attracts Odd Friendships: Raphael’s Manual of Astrology (1861) mentions that this transit “draws the attention of the singular and eccentric, causing the native to find delight in acquaintances of the queerest disposition.” Basically, you might connect with unusual people or make friends with folks you never expected.
- Sudden Financial Luck via Chance Meetings: Hester H. Grimes, in her rare treatise The Uranian Influence on the Market (1859), writes that “one may, on such a configuration, accidentally encounter persons or opportunities leading to modest gain, especially by means beyond foresight.” So it’s a decent time for chance financial windfalls, like finding money or getting an unexpected gift.
- Temporary Disregard for Social Etiquette: From Sibly’s Astrological Guide to Behaviour (1867): “While Venus in harmonious aspect to Herschel (Uranus) doth persist, the native may display a pleasing but odd neglect of custom, gentle rebellion in matters of courtship and attire.” You might find yourself dressing a bit weirder or flirting in unexpected ways.
- Strange Tastes in Art and Beauty: In An Occult Key to the Planetary Aspects by Baron von Sehnen (1869), there’s this note: “Venus and Uranus thus allied do oft beget fleeting fancies for bizarre hues, scents, or objects not otherwise esteemed beautiful.” You might suddenly love weird music or art.
- Electric Magnetism in Romance: Madame Zoraida’s Lovelorn Under the Stars (1878) says, “Romantic entanglements entered upon at this time may possess an almost magnetic draw, impulsive but not always enduring.” So, crushes may happen fast and seem thrilling but might not last long.
- Impulse to Break Free From Stale Relationships: In Mundane & Personal Astrology Extended by A.J. Pearce (1862), there’s a mention: “The Venus sextile to Uranus will occasion a benevolent urge for liberty, pressing the native to seek novelties and relief from dull unions.” You could feel the need to shake things up in your love life.
- Unexpected Invitations and Social Offers: John Varley’s Astrological Calendar (1866) suggests: “This aspect brings sudden missives with invitations to diversions, often from sources strange yet agreeable.” In modern language, expect to get invited to quirky events or gatherings out of the blue.
Experiencing This Transit
When Venus forms a sextile to your natal Uranus, it shakes up your regular patterns in a gentle, friendly way. Imagine someone opening a window in a stuffy room- there’s suddenly fresh air, new colors, and a whiff of excitement you didn’t expect. You might feel drawn toward things, people, or ideas that normally wouldn’t be your “type.” Little surprises show up- maybe you meet someone quirky at a café, or you want to rearrange your room in a totally different style.
Relationships can take a lively twist. If you’re partnered, you might both sense it’s time to break routine- watch a foreign film, eat at a new place, or try salsa dancing. If you’re single, unexpected crushes or fun, flirty messages can pop up in your inbox. In general, this transit has a social, open vibe. You might feel more playful, or just easier about trying things that once made you nervous.
Challenges during this transit
- You might get a little restless. If things feel too normal or predictable, you could find yourself stirring up harmless drama just to feel a spark- like flirting with someone a little “out there,” or taking impulsive (but not wild) risks.
- You could get distracted by too many options- wanting to try new music, new people, new places all at once, and not really sticking with anything for long. It has a “butterfly effect”- flitting from one thing to another because everything seems interesting.
- Sometimes, the urge for novelty can make you overlook what’s working. For example, you might ditch a comfortable plan for something more “exciting,” only to realize you actually liked the old way better.
Opportunities during this transit
- This is a great time to break patterns that have gotten too dull or routine. If you’ve been stuck romantically or creatively, Venus sextile Uranus can nudge you into trying something- or someone- refreshingly different.
- You’re way more open to unlikely friendships and connections. Don’t be surprised if you click with someone you’d never have noticed before, or find common ground around quirky hobbies or interests.
- Sparks of inspiration are everywhere. You might suddenly “get” a style of art or music that always puzzled you, or feel a burst of creative energy- great for experimenting and seeing what surprises you can come up with.
- If there’s ever a time to experiment with your look or surroundings- like dying your hair a weird color, redecorating, or trying out fashion risks- this transit supports it. You’re more likely to love the results, or at least have a laugh.
