Flirty sparks and smooth moves!
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Mars sextile Venus transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t rush into a new relationship just because you feel extra flirty- it’s easy to get carried away.
- Avoid starting arguments or drama in your love life; things might feel spicier, but it’s not the time to pick fights.
- Don’t overspend on luxury items, beauty products, or anything flashy. The urge to splurge can be strong now!
- Try not to flirt with people who are unavailable or in committed relationships- it could get messy.
- Don’t make big commitments in love or business partnerships unless you’ve really thought it through.
- Resist the temptation to show off or seek attention just for ego boosts.
- Don’t ignore your usual boundaries just because you’re feeling bold or confident.
- Don’t get pulled into jealousy or power games- just because you feel more passionate doesn’t mean others do, too!

Do During This Transit

- Pamper yourself. Treat yourself to something that makes you feel good- buy new clothes, get a massage, or try a new look.
- Make peace if you’ve had conflicts. This is a good time to smooth over any arguments or patch things up with someone.
- Ask for what you want. You’re likely to get a positive response now, so don’t be shy about speaking up.
- Enjoy social events. Go to parties, gatherings, or events- it’s easy to have fun and attract good vibes.

What’s interesting about this transit?
Mars sextile to natal Venus is a sweet spot in astrology, but if you dig into old texts, you find some quirky takes that are mostly forgotten today. For example:
- Ancient Persian astrologers thought this transit was good for restoring lost friendships. They believed Mars (action) and Venus (harmony) blending like this could mend bridges and even turn old enemies into friends.
- Some Renaissance astrologers said this was the perfect time to start artistic work using metal (Mars) and color or fragrance (Venus) – for example, making jewelry or brewing special perfumes, not just painting or music.
- There’s a medieval view that people under this transit could settle long-standing debts or financial disputes more easily. They saw Venus as linked to money and Mars to resolve, so this was a window for clearing the books or forgiving loans.
- In some older Indian texts, there are references to Mars-Venus harmonies improving sexual health, not just romance. It’s said to help someone recover their “joy of life” after illness or stress.
- Less commonly known, ancient Greek astrologers sometimes called this aspect “the window for feasts,” implying it’s a good time for hosting celebrations, especially if you want peace between two rival family members or groups.
- There’s also a rare bit from a 17th-century astrologer who claimed the Mars-Venus sextile was an excellent time to adopt social animals like dogs or birds. Apparently, the combined energy made for easier training and bonding!
Experiencing This Transit
So when Mars is sextile your natal Venus, it’s like the universe is giving you a little boost to your personal magnetism. You might feel more charming, people respond well when you reach out, and you get along easily, even with tricky folks. There’s usually more physical energy, but it flows gently, not in a pushy or aggressive way. Often, this transit helps you express affection, creativity, and desire more honestly – and others usually dig it.
You might feel like flirting comes naturally in your conversations, or you find yourself wanting to dress up, change your look, or spend more time with art, music, or anything that feels good. It’s easier to find common ground, whether you’re making plans with friends, hitting that creative project, or talking through something touchy with a partner.
Challenges during this transit
- You might notice you have less patience for people who don’t get along. Even though things are smoother than usual, a little tension or awkwardness might really bug you, and you could find yourself trying to fix things too much, or playing peacemaker when you should just let people be.
- The urge for pleasure can make you a bit indulgent. Think eating too many sweets, spending on things you don’t need, or chasing good feelings without considering tomorrow’s consequences.
- Sometimes, it’s easy to assume everyone’s on the same page romantically or socially – and that’s not always true. Misreading signals, or thinking a new connection is deeper (or flirtier) than it actually is, can make things awkward.
- You might avoid dealing with bigger conflicts because things feel pretty okay and you don’t want to rock the boat. This can leave some underlying issues simmering instead of getting addressed.
Opportunities during this transit
- It’s an awesome time to ask for a date, rekindle a romance, or just put yourself out there if you want new friendships (or something more).
- Creative juices flow really nicely, so pick up the paintbrush, instrument, or even try something crafty. Starting collaborative projects with others can be easier now, too.
- If there’s been tension or distance in a close relationship, this is a great time to reach out, make peace, or have a fresh start. Your charm and sincerity come through stronger than usual.
- Opportunities might pop up for financial gain – like a side gig, a good deal, or just some luck with money. It’s not a wild windfall, but more like a chance to boost your resources through action and connection.
- Your physical energy works well with pleasure and movement – dancing, light exercise, even taking long walks with someone special. It’s a good transit for enjoying your body without going overboard.
