Avoid During Transit Chiron Sextile Venus
- Don’t push away help or kindness from others. During Chiron sextile Venus, people may want to offer support, so try not to isolate yourself or reject good vibes just because it feels unfamiliar or makes you feel vulnerable. (Stein, Reinhart)
- Avoid getting stuck in old emotional routines, especially ones around not feeling worthy of love or pleasure. This transit makes it easier to heal, but you can miss the opportunity if you keep repeating old habits.
- Don’t ignore creative impulses. If you feel drawn to art, music, or beauty, don’t suppress it , this is a time when these things can help you heal, so try not to block them out. (Clow)
- Try not to play the martyr or over-give in relationships. While Chiron sextile Venus can bring a gentle urge to help others, don’t do it at your own expense or avoid facing your own needs. (Stein)
- Don’t assume relationships will fix themselves without communication or conscious effort. Even in a supportive transit, ignoring issues won’t magically heal them. (Reinhart)
- Avoid pretending your insecurities about love, beauty, or worthiness don’t exist. This transit supports gentle healing, but you need to acknowledge what hurts first. (Reinhart, Clow)
- Don’t spend money or indulge just to cover up emotional wounds. Sometimes Venus wants comfort, but Chiron asks you to heal instead of just distract yourself. (Clow)
- Don’t compare your healing journey to others. Everyone’s love wounds are personal, and this sextile is about your unique story , not measuring up to what other people are doing or feeling. (Stein)
To Do During Transit Chiron Sextile Venus
- Open up to healing in relationships, talk honestly about old wounds with people you care about, since Chiron sextile Venus makes it easier to have gentle, healing conversations (see Reinhart).
- Express yourself creatively, this transit supports artistic projects, so try painting, music, or any project where you put your feelings into something beautiful (per Clow and Stein).
- Practice self-love and acceptance, use this time to nurture your self-worth and work on accepting parts of yourself you’ve judged harshly (Reinhart emphasizes self-value healing).
- Revisit old relationships, consider reconnecting with friends or loved ones from the past, especially if there are misunderstandings that could now be healed, since this transit softens your approach (Stein).
- Work on forgiveness, give yourself and others the gift of forgiveness, especially around issues of love and betrayal, as Venus themes are up for gentle release.
- Enjoy and appreciate beauty, spend time in nature, visit an art gallery, or decorate your space, allowing yourself to feel pleasure and comfort (Venus gets boosted by Chiron’s gentle touch, see Clow).
- Try alternative healing or therapies around self-esteem and relationships, explore counseling, energy work, or even journaling, since insights about love and connection come more easily now (Reinhart, Stein).
- Support others who are healing, be there for friends or partners who need a listening ear, as you’re able to offer wise, compassionate support during this softer Chiron-Venus time (Stein).
- Look for subtle blessings, notice the small acts of kindness and affection in your life, and let yourself appreciate them; it’s a transit for “quiet gifts” in love and connection.
- Set intentions for future relationships, use this peaceful period to visualize or write down what healthy, healing love looks like for you (Stein suggests focusing on positive patterns for the future).
Experiencing Transit Chiron Sextile Venus
When Chiron makes a sextile to your natal Venus, it’s like getting a gentle knock on the door from the universe, inviting you to look at how you give and receive love, and how you value yourself. This isn’t a harsh or heavy transit, but one that offers support, nudges, and new perspectives. Chiron, known as the “wounded healer,” works with Venus, the planet of love, beauty, self-worth, and relationships, to help you spot the ways old wounds or insecurities might be blocking you from enjoying connection and pleasure.
According to Melanie Reinhart in Chiron and the Healing Journey, a Chiron-Venus sextile can bring situations or people into your life who help you see your worth more clearly, or maybe gently challenge your ideas about what you deserve. There’s energy for healing in your relationships, especially where old pain might have made you shut down or hold back. There could be unexpected moments where you’re able to accept love more easily, or where you feel heard and appreciated for who you are.
Zane B. Stein’s Essence and Application: A View From Chiron points out that this aspect makes it easier to talk about sensitive matters in relationships without causing drama. It’s not about digging up every old hurt, but about realizing you can respond differently when those triggers pop up. Barbara Hand Clow in Chiron: Rainbow Bridge Between the Inner & Outer Planets adds that this is a time you might see your own “inner beauty” and learn ways to express yourself creatively or emotionally without feeling like you have to hide flaws.
Challenges During Transit Chiron Sextile Venus
- Wounds come to light gently: You could notice old patterns, like comparing yourself to others or feeling insecure in relationships. These aren’t usually overwhelming, but it can be awkward seeing them.
- Letting go of old beliefs: You may resist giving up ideas about what love “should” look like, or what you “deserve,” especially if those stories are linked to old pain.
- Vulnerability: Opening up to affection or compliments can still feel uncomfortable, especially if you worry about being let down.
Opportunities During Transit Chiron Sextile Venus
- Healing in relationships: You might find it easier to forgive and move forward, or to start new friendships or romances with a sense of openness you haven’t felt in a while.
- Improved self-worth: There’s a chance to see yourself with more compassion. For example, you might start to appreciate your own quirks or talents that you used to feel embarrassed about.
- Creativity flows: This transit can inspire you to express yourself artistically, maybe through music, art, writing, or even just dressing in a way that feels more “you.”
- Positive, supportive connections: New people you meet now, or fresh starts with familiar faces, soothe your heart rather than stress you out.
