Transit Venus Conjunct Natal Ascendant

Charming glow-up.

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

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t jump into new relationships too quickly- things can look rosier than they really are right now.
• Try to avoid making major decisions about your appearance (like dramatic haircuts or tattoos) on a whim.
• Don’t overspend on luxury or beauty items just because you’re feeling the urge to treat yourself.
• Stay away from getting too caught up in how others see you- balance self-love with real self-reflection.
• Don’t ignore your deeper feelings just to keep the peace or make things smoother with others.
• Be careful about over-flirting or sending mixed signals, especially if you’re already in a relationship.
• Don’t make promises you can’t keep just because you want to please everyone.
• Don’t avoid necessary confrontations- sometimes smoothing things over isn’t always the answer.
• Try not to get lazy or overly indulgent just because you’re feeling good in your own skin.
• Watch out for becoming too self-focused; notice what others need too.

Do During This Transit

• Practice self-love – Treat yourself to things you enjoy, like a spa day, favorite meal, or just relaxing time alone.
• Strengthen existing relationships – If you want to resolve conflicts or just enjoy time with loved ones, this energy helps everything go smoothly.
• Be open to romance – If you’re single, say yes to dates! If you’re not, spark some romance with your partner.
• Express your creativity – Try arts, crafts, music, or anything where you can show off your creative side.
• Host or attend social events – Parties and gatherings are extra enjoyable now, and you’ll make a great impression.
• Work on your self-image – Set intentions about how you want to show up in the world. Work on confidence and presentation.
• Seek harmony and beauty – Decorate your space, spend time in nature, or enjoy art and music. Surround yourself with what feels good.
• Negotiate or ask for favors – Other people are more likely to say yes and be agreeable during this transit.

What’s interesting about this transit?

When Venus transits over your natal Ascendant, it gets a lot of attention for making people more charming or attractive. But if you dig through some old astrology texts and traditions, you’ll find some pretty unusual or forgotten takes on this transit:

• Mask of Pleasure: Some ancient texts, especially from early Arabic astrologers, suggested that Venus’ conjunction to the Ascendant creates a “mask of pleasure.” This means people might literally see you as more likable- even if you’re not feeling great inside.
• Favor from Women: Medieval astrologers hinted that this transit brings help or kindness from women- sometimes from strangers, or older female relatives who usually keep their distance.
• Laziness Warning: There’s an old belief that if Venus hits your Ascendant when you’re born during the day (diurnal birth), you might become unusually lazy or too eager for comfort during this transit. Some even warned to watch out for “over-indulgence in finer things.”
• Peace after Quarrels: Some sources, like the ancient Roman astrologer Firmicus Maternus, believed this transit could bring sudden peace after long-standing disputes. Sometimes, people you argued with may suddenly want to make up!
• Impulse Buying: From 17th century astrological guides: watch out for the urge to splurge- unexpected purchases, especially on clothes, jewelry, or decorations for your home, pop up a lot when Venus meets your Ascendant.
• Secret Admirers Revealed: Some old writers said if you have any secret admirers (even if you think you don’t), they might subtly reveal themselves now- or you might notice hints you missed before.

Experiencing This Transit

So, Venus- the planet of love, beauty, and pleasure- moving over your Ascendant (the “you” part in your chart) is a big deal for how you show up in the world. It’s like the universe turning up your charm and giving you a little cosmic glow-up.

You might notice you just feel more comfortable in your own skin. People are drawn to you without you even trying. If you wanna make new friends, fix up your look, or just get out and socialize, this is a great time. You might get more compliments than normal, or notice people being extra nice for no real reason.

Venus is also about pleasure, so you just wanna enjoy life: good food, music, art, time with people you love. Everything that feels good just feels better now. Sometimes it also means you start craving more beauty in your everyday life, like decorating your space or treating yourself to something lovely.

Challenges during this transit

• Over-indulgence: It’s easy to go overboard with treats, shopping, or just being lazy. The temptation to skip responsibilities for pleasure can be really strong.
• Pleasing everyone: You might say yes to things just to keep peace, or avoid conflict even when you shouldn’t. This could mean ignoring your real feelings just to make others happy.
• Superficial relationships: Sometimes, you attract people who like the “outside” version of you, not the real you. There’s a risk of shallow connections or fake friends.
• Ignoring problems: Since things feel easy, you might not want to deal with any tough stuff or issues. It’s a “put it off until later” mood, but problems can pile up.

Opportunities during this transit

• Making peace: If there’s anyone you’ve had drama with, it’s a perfect time to make up or clear the air. Venus smooths things over.
• Level up your look: Want a new hairstyle, wardrobe change, or selfie spree? You’ll likely be really happy with the results. People notice your style upgrades now.
• Meet new crushes/friends: Your “it” factor’s high. This is a hot window for meeting new romantic interests, or just drawing fun people into your circle.
• Creative burst: If you like music, art, dance, or anything creative, inspiration flows more easily. Trying something new in these areas can be extra rewarding.
• Positive attention: Whether in work, school, or public, people see your good side. It’s a good time to ask for favors, apply for jobs, or just be out in the world.
