Transit Venus Sextile Natal Midheaven

Career Charm Boost

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

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t ignore opportunities to connect with others at work. This transit is great for socializing, so don’t isolate yourself or skip out on team activities.
• Don’t hold back on expressing your creativity. It’s a good time for sharing ideas, so don’t keep your talents hidden.
• Don’t get lazy or complacent just because things feel smooth. It’s easy to relax too much when Venus brings harmony- make sure you’re still getting stuff done.
• Don’t avoid making decisions about your public image or career. This is a good period to make positive changes; don’t let it pass you by.
• Don’t take relationships with bosses, clients, or coworkers for granted. A little kindness or appreciation goes a long way right now.
• Don’t engage in gossip or office drama. Venus makes things pleasant, but you don’t want to mess up the good vibes.
• Don’t overspend on things to make yourself look good. Venus might tempt you to buy fancy stuff for your image, but keep it reasonable.
• Don’t shy away from asking for help or support. People are more likely to say yes during this transit, so don’t miss the chance.

Do During This Transit

• Connect with others at work- networking feels easier and people are drawn to your vibe.
• Spruce up your professional image, like updating your resume, online profiles, or dressing a little sharper.
• Ask for feedback or recognition; it’s a good time to get noticed for your talents.
• Start collaborations or team projects- people are more supportive now.
• Plan important meetings or presentations; you’ll come across as charming and diplomatic.
• Work on creative projects that show off your artistic side, especially if they’re career related.
• Patch up any work relationships that need a little TLC- grudges are easier to resolve now.
• Reach out to a mentor or someone in a higher-up position- you’re likely to get a positive response.
• Make your workspace more pleasant or beautiful; a little touch of Venus will boost your mood and productivity.
• Enjoy a bit of professional “show and tell”- don’t be shy about telling others what you’re working on or proud of.

What’s interesting about this transit?

• Some old astrology texts say that Venus sextile the Midheaven could mean “success through the feminine arts”- not just art or music, but things like perfume-making, flower arranging, or even baking. These softer talents randomly catch the attention of those in power.
• In a few obscure Medieval sources, this transit was considered helpful for bringing “delicate gifts” from people in high places- anything from helpful advice to small but precious objects, all linked to your reputation or profession.
• There’s one Renaissance-era interpretation that suggests this transit gives “favor among the crowned, and joy in the arms of the beloved”- meaning both bosses/mentors and romantic partners might be unusually easy to please and impress during Venus sextile MC.
• Another weird tidbit: Ancient Greece’s astrologers sometimes said this transit could make “your name sweet upon the lips”- so people might speak fondly or kindly of you behind your back or suddenly give you positive public reviews.
• A few Arabic astrology writings claim this aspect sometimes inspires people to literally beautify their places of business or homes (with plants, scented oils, simple decorations) and that doing so attracts luck or good clients during this time.

Experiencing This Transit

When Venus forms a sextile to your natal Midheaven, life gets a little sweeter, especially in areas related to your career, public appearance, or your general reputation. People tend to see you in a good light. You might find that your bosses or anyone higher up appreciate you more or even single you out for some pleasant reason. It’s a pretty chill, feel-good transit- like a little breeze of charm blowing through your professional life.

At work, you’re likely to get along smoothly with others. This is a good time to ask for favors, apply for something, or just put yourself out there more. People see you as more likable, creative, or approachable. If you’re creative for a living, your talents could easily draw positive attention now. Even if you’re not, there’s an artsy or harmonious vibe that makes daily routines a tad lighter.

Challenges during this Transit

• Because everything feels easier, you might slip into laziness or avoid necessary effort, thinking things will just go your way. This can mean missed chances or half-finished projects.
• There’s a tendency to read too much into compliments or get caught up in the desire to please authority figures, possibly making you less authentic or more dependent on praise.
• The “good vibes” can lead to ignoring subtle problems or brushing off feedback that could actually help you grow.
• If you’re in a creative career, you might play it too safe and aim only for what you think people want, rather than stepping out or being original.
• Sometimes you might get social invites or chances to network that distract you from the main responsibilities or deadlines.

Opportunities during this Transit

• Great time to ask for a raise, go for a promotion, or launch a creative project- you’re seen as likable and “in tune” with the mood of those in charge.
• Networking feels smooth, and you might meet someone important in a casual or unexpected way, so say yes to gatherings or social work functions.
• If you need to repair a damaged relationship at work (or with family), this is the perfect moment, because everyone’s more likely to forgive and find common ground.
• Anything to do with beauty or harmony in your work setting pays off now- cleaning your desk, bringing in flowers, organizing a friendly group activity, or even changing your profile photo can boost your professional image.
• If you create anything- art, music, writing- chances are higher that your work gets noticed or praised now. It may also be easier to find inspiration or partners for collaboration.
