Avoid During Transit Uranus Sesquisquare Venus
- Don’t jump into new relationships just because you’re bored or restless. This transit can make you crave excitement, but quick flings may not last.
- Try not to break up with someone on impulse. Arguments and sudden decisions are common, but you might regret ending things when the energy settles down.
- Avoid making big financial investments, especially for something trendy, risky, or just to shake things up.
- Don’t drastically change your appearance on a whim, like getting a wild haircut, tattoo, or makeover. What feels right during this transit might not later.
- Hold off on making major purchases, like art, jewelry, or anything luxury. Your taste might be more rebellious or experimental than usual, and you could regret it.
- Try not to push people away just because you want more space or freedom. Honest conversations are better than sudden distancing.
- Don’t ignore your regular self-care routine. You’re more likely to want to break free from routines now, but some stability will help.
- Avoid acting recklessly in love or money situations just because you feel stuck. Take time to think before making big moves.
To Do During Transit Uranus Sesquisquare Venus
- Try something new in your love life- maybe a fresh date idea or saying yes to someone you wouldn’t usually consider.
- Spruce up your style or look. It’s a fun time for experimenting with clothes, hair, or makeup you haven’t tried before.
- Let yourself be spontaneous, especially in relationships. If you get an urge to do something different, go for it!
- Be open to changes in friendships or social circles. New people could bring exciting vibes into your life now.
- Channel restless energy into creativity: paint, dance, sing, or play around with your favorite hobbies in new ways.
- Look at your feelings about money or possessions. If you feel stuck, brainstorm unconventional ways to handle finances.
- Give yourself permission to break routines that feel boring or “off” in romance or pleasure. Switch things up!
- Use sudden insights or “aha” moments about what you value to make little changes- trust your gut.
- Expect the unexpected, especially in love and beauty. See surprises as a chance to grow, not something to fear.
What’s Interesting About Transit Uranus Sesquisquare Venus?
- Unexpected Disruptions in Social Rank: The mid-19th century astrologer Raphael notes in The Key to Astrology (London, 1879) that a sesquisquare from Uranus to natal Venus can show “sudden reversals in social position, especially by way of scandal, false friends, or startling news at gatherings.” According to Raphael, these disruptions may arise in secret and become public quite rapidly.
- Capricious Artistic Taste: In Zadkiel’s The Hand-book of Astrology (1861), there’s mention that this aspect can cause a person to “forsake their favored amusements or arts, pursuing instead some untried or foreign pleasure, often to the astonishment of their acquaintances.”
- Mishaps With Unusual Jewels or Trinkets: From A.J. Pearce’s The Text-Book of Astrology (1879): “Under this influence, affairs connected to personal ornaments, especially those of peculiar make or foreign origin, are subject to abrupt loss or strange accidents.”
- Unexpected Lovers from Distant Places: William Lilly’s An Introduction to Astrology (1852) mentions that Uranus-Venus in hard aspect may indicate “strange alliances, oft with persons from beyond the seas, with attachments cooling as swiftly as they arose.”
- Sudden Withdrawal of Favours: Sepharial, in Manual of Occultism (London, 1895), interprets this as a period when “the affections or kind patronage of a benefactor may be withdrawn without warning, prompted by hidden envious tongues.”
- Danger From Unusual Entertainments: According to The Astrologer’s Guide (von Sendivogius, translated and paraphrased by Raphael, 1886), “ill-advised attendance at odd or forbidden amusements can bring about minor embarrassments, even small injuries of which love’s concern is at the root.”
- Musical Instability: H.S. Green’s Manual of Astrology (1898) associates this transit with “inconstancy in pursuits of music; the native alternately compelled and repelled by performances which previously delighted the senses.”
Experiencing Transit Uranus Sesquisquare Venus
So, what’s it like when Uranus hits your Venus with this oddball angle? Uranus is all about surprises, freedom, and the unexpected, while Venus rules love, money, and what we find beautiful or comforting. The sesquisquare isn’t as dramatic as a square, but it’s still kinda edgy- think of it as Uranus poking Venus in the ribs when she’s not looking. You might suddenly feel restless in relationships, rethink your taste, or experience flashes of attraction for the strange and new. It can feel like someone’s trying to change the channel on your playlist when you were really vibing with the song.
Challenges during Transit Uranus Sesquisquare Venus
- Restlessness in Love: You might get bored quickly with your partner or friends, itching for something “different” without even knowing why. This can lead to arguments or misunderstandings if you suddenly pull away or act out.
- Mood Swings with Money: Feeling tempted to make that wild purchase or risky investment just for the thrill- maybe buying something you regret moments later or lending cash to someone flaky.
- Weird Attraction Patterns: Suddenly crushing on the person you never noticed before, or someone outside your ‘usual’ type, but it’s confusing or even inconvenient (think: a friend’s ex, your boss, or someone much older/younger).
- Social Awkwardness: You might blurt out something odd or quirky at the wrong moment- like making a joke about breakups at a wedding, or giving an unusual compliment that gets misunderstood.
- Creative Block or Overdrive: Your usual style just doesn’t feel right, and you might either hit a wall creatively or produce stuff that looks totally offbeat or out-of-sync with your regular vibe.
Opportunities during Transit Uranus Sesquisquare Venus
- Fresh Inspiration in Art and Love: This is a window to break out of your rut! Try new forms of art, fashion, or music. Even picking a totally different place to hang out can spark unexpected joy.
- Meeting Unusual People: Open up to random conversations- you might gain quirky friends or contacts who introduce you to new ideas, cultures, or ways to see beauty in things you never noticed before.
- Redefining Your Values: Uranus can help you “zap” old beliefs about love, money, or beauty that don’t fit anymore. You might set new standards for what you really want from relationships or your own self-worth.
- Embracing Your Weirdness: Instead of fighting off what’s different about yourself, lean in! Stand out from the crowd, try a new hair color, or rework your personal style into something that feels way more “you.”
- Breaking Toxic Patterns: If you keep dating the same kind of (wrong) person or repeating the same money mistakes, this transit can give you just enough shock value to notice- and change- for the better.
