Avoid During Transit Chiron Square Venus

• Don’t ignore or suppress your feelings, especially if old wounds about love or self-worth are coming up. Pretending they’re not there can make things harder in the long run. (Stein, Reinhart, Clow)
• Avoid starting serious new relationships just to “fix” a sense of emptiness or insecurity, this transit might make you more aware of those wounds, and rushing into romance can make them deeper. (Reinhart, Clow)
• Try not to overreact or take things too personally in your relationships, even small comments might sting more right now, but they don’t always mean what you think. (Stein, Reinhart)
• Steer clear of impulsive spending or “retail therapy” if you’re feeling emotionally off-balance; the urge to buy comfort can be strong, but it often doesn’t help.
• Avoid comparing yourself to others, especially around love, beauty, or money, this transit tends to bring up envy, insecurity, or old feelings about not being “enough.” (Clow)
• Don’t lash out or blame your partner, friends, or loved ones for your own pain, Chiron square Venus can highlight deeper hurts, but that doesn’t mean others are responsible. (Reinhart, Stein)
• Try not to demand reassurance or validation from others over and over; it’s natural to want comfort, but leaning too hard on someone else can stress your relationships. (Reinhart)
• Avoid shutting down or closing your heart, sometimes it feels safer not to care, but isolation usually makes the pain worse. (Stein, Clow)
• Don’t make big decisions about ending relationships unless you’ve given things time and thought, this transit brings up old pain, and sometimes it clouds your perspective. (Reinhart, Clow)
• Try not to escape into numbing habits (like overeating, drinking, or zoning out with TV/social media) when raw feelings show up; facing them gently is better for healing. (Reinhart, Stein)

To Do During Transit Chiron Square Venus

• Notice how you react in relationships. This is a good time to pay attention to how you give and receive love, especially if old issues of rejection or self-worth are popping up. It’s a powerful window for self-observation (see Clow, “Chiron: Rainbow Bridge Between the Inner & Outer Planets”).
• Journal about emotional wounds tied to love, beauty, or self-esteem. Writing things out can help untangle whatever comes up, and make you aware of patterns—especially those that go back to childhood (see Reinhart, “Chiron and the Healing Journey”).
• Explore therapy or healing work that focuses on relationships. Whether it’s couples counseling, personal therapy, or some new healing practice, this is a good time to try something different if you notice pain or insecurity in how you connect with others (“Chiron and the Healing Journey”).
• Update your definition of self-worth. Use this time to figure out what makes you valuable beyond just being liked or being in a partnership. Chiron here asks you to see your beauty and value from the inside out (Stein, “Essence and Application: A View From Chiron”).
• Experiment with creative activities. Even if you doubt your talent or worry about not being “good enough,” expressing yourself through art, music, or any creative hobby can be surprisingly healing, this isn’t about impressing anyone, just letting your heart flow (“Essence and Application: A View From Chiron”).
• Respect your boundaries, set them if needed. If you’re someone who tries to be all things to all people, this transit helps you notice where you might be sacrificing yourself just to keep the peace (“Chiron: Rainbow Bridge Between the Inner & Outer Planets”).
• Let go of perfectionism in love and beauty. You might discover deeper compassion for your own and others’ flaws. Chiron squares to Venus often point out where we feel “damaged”, but healing starts with letting these feelings be okay (“Chiron and the Healing Journey”).
• Practice saying what hurts or what you need in close relationships. Chiron’s energy wants honesty, sharing vulnerability with trusted people, even if it feels awkward, is especially powerful now.
• Connect with nature or enjoy simple pleasures. This can help soothe your system and give you a sense of comfort from the world around you (Stein).

Experiencing Transit Chiron Square Venus

When Chiron moves into a square aspect with your natal Venus, stuff about love, self-worth, and what you find beautiful in life comes up for healing. But it doesn’t always feel gentle. This isn’t a passive, easy time, it’s more like your insecurities and old wounds around relationships and value get poked, maybe in uncomfortable ways. According to Zane B. Stein and Melanie Reinhart, this kind of Chiron transit often stirs up old pain that’s linked to how you give and receive love, your confidence about being lovable, and even money or self-esteem issues.

It might feel like relationships are more tender or things just aren’t as smooth as usual. Things from the past, like memories of past breakups, family stuff, or times you felt rejected, can get triggered. Sometimes you act out those hurts, sometimes they show up through other people. Barbara Hand Clow points out that it’s common to re-experience deep, core issues you thought you’d healed already, but now they’re showing up so you can look at them in a different way.

Often, there’s a sense of longing for connection but also a fear that you’re not enough, or that love comes with a catch. You might notice you’re super sensitive to other people’s opinions, or maybe you’re feeling misunderstood in your closest relationships. The stuff Chiron touches is old, but the pain feels fresh. It can lead to confusion and maybe wanting to pull away from people, or conversely, trying hard for approval.

Challenges During Transit Chiron Square Venus

• Relationship Tensions: You might find that issues with partners, friends, or family suddenly surface. Little things can turn into arguments or misunderstandings because you’re both feeling old wounds.
• Feeling Unlovable: There can be strong feelings of not being good enough, or not worthy of affection. This can link back to childhood experiences or past relationships.
• Money Matters: Sometimes problems with self-worth show up as financial challenges. Unexpected expenses, feeling undervalued at work, or worrying about how you value yourself can all pop up now.
• Over-Sensitivity: You may get your feelings hurt more easily, or suddenly feel ashamed or embarrassed about things that wouldn’t normally bother you.
• Difficulty Trusting: It’s common to feel like people can’t be trusted, or that showing your true feelings will only lead to pain or rejection.

Opportunities During Transit Chiron Square Venus

• Deep Healing: This is a chance to really look at what’s been hurting you, possibly for years. When you let those old patterns come to the surface, you can finally start healing them.
• Learning Self-Love: Real growth during this transit comes from starting to treat yourself more kindly, learning that your value isn’t based on others’ approval or your relationship status.
• Clearer Boundaries: Hard moments now can push you to get clear about what you will and won’t accept in love and friendship, and to stop saying yes when you mean no.
• Recognizing True Worth: This transit can help you see how much you’ve measured your worth by how others value you (or by what you own or look like), and push you to build confidence from the inside out.
• Opening to Vulnerability: By facing your own wounds, you can connect with others from a more honest, open-hearted place. Chiron square Venus shows you it’s okay to be imperfect, and that’s where real connection happens.
