Unexpected changes in love and values.
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Uranus Conjunct Venus transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t rush into new relationships just for excitement- things might fizzle out as fast as they started.
- Avoid making big decisions about love or commitment unless you’re totally sure- it’s easy to get swept up in sudden feelings.
- Try not to break up with someone on impulse. Emotions and desires can get wild during this time.
- Skip making dramatic changes to your appearance (like a hairstyle or tattoo on a whim)- you might regret it later.
- Don’t spend a ton of money on luxury items or big purchases, especially stuff you buy just because it feels “different.”
- Avoid ignoring your current partner’s feelings while chasing freedom or novelty- honesty is extra important now.
- Don’t get involved in love triangles or risky flirtations. Extra drama usually follows.
- Try not to rebel against loved ones without thinking about why- sometimes you just want change for change’s sake.
- Steer clear of major financial commitments with someone new (like sharing a bank account or moving in right away).
- Don’t brush off your own needs for stability- too much change all at once can be overwhelming.
Do During This Transit
- Try something new in your love life- it’s a great time to shake up your usual romance routine.
- Experiment with your style or looks- think bold haircuts, new clothes, or unusual accessories.
- Meet new people! Say yes to invitations and get out of your comfort zone socially.
- Explore new forms of creativity, like a different art project, dance class, or music.
- Loosen up about money- unusual opportunities or ideas for earning and spending could pop up now.
- If you’re in a relationship, have an honest chat about changes you both want. Go out on an unusual date!
- Refresh your home decor, especially with quirky or high-tech touches.
- Let yourself have fun- ignore what’s “normal” for you and indulge in something surprising.
- Give yourself permission to break free from routines that aren’t making you happy, especially in love and self-care.
- Stay open to “aha!” moments about what you value or how you experience pleasure.
- If you feel restless or bored, pay attention. It’s a sign to bring more excitement or freedom into your life!
What’s Interesting About This Transit
- Unexpected Gains from Women or Artistic Friends: According to Raphael’s Manual of Astrology (1861), this transit can suggest “benefits arising from female acquaintances in a sudden, unforeseen fashion,” especially from “acquaintances connected with the fine arts.” So, you might stumble into flattering situations or gifts through artistic women or their circles.
- Sudden Inclination Toward Exotic Pleasures: William Lilly’s An Introduction to Astrology (1852), interprets Uranus-Venus contacts as “strange appetites or passions, oft out of season or nature, leading one to foreign amusements or rare joys.” Maybe you’ll find yourself attracted to foods, music, or flirting styles that feel totally new.
- Wild Fluctuations in Social Ranking: In Zadkiel’s Handbook of Astrology (1852), it’s mentioned that Uranus conjunct Venus “bestows an erratic accession or loss of standing in society via shocking events at gatherings.” You might unexpectedly become popular at a party- or get uninvited just as fast.
- Danger of Scandal via Artistic Expression: Henrietta de Barba’s Astrological Mystery (1878) points out that “when Uranus toucheth the fair Venus, beware the canvas or the quill; for a whisper of your passions, portrayed in art, may set tongues clattering.” So, expressing art or love publicly could stir up more drama than you expect.
- Enchantment with Unusual Fashions: In Sepharial’s Manual of Occultism (1895), he writes that this transit “inspirits a singular taste for adornment, and the native may bedeck themselves in fashions utterly opposed to custom, provoking admiration or ridicule.” So, you might suddenly want to shake up your look in a pretty dramatic way.
- Chance Inheritance Through an Estranged Lover: An obscure one from Alan Leo’s Key to Your Own Nativity (published 1894) includes a note that this transit can “occasion a windfall or bequeathment by one to whom affection was once extended and lost.” Basically, money might come from a long-lost ex or someone you had romantic ties with.
- Spontaneous Musical Inspiration: In the 1851 Astrologer’s Vade Mecum by Raphael (Robert Cross Smith), he suggests this aspect “endows prodigious energy to the hands and voice, resulting in sudden composition or performance of music, particularly if in spring.” Practically speaking, you could find yourself picking up a new musical instrument or singing out of the blue.
- Risk of Impulsive Marriages or Elopements: From “A Student’s Text-Book of Astrology” by Vivian Robson (1922, echoing Victorian sources), Uranus meeting Venus “may incline the native to contract marriages of fancy, oft within days of first acquaintance, especially when the Seventh House be involved.” Quick romance decisions are in the air!
Experiencing This Transit
When Uranus is conjunct your natal Venus, you might feel like your love life, social connections, or relationship with beauty and pleasure are being plugged into an electric socket. Suddenly, things that used to feel calm or reliable can get pretty unpredictable, but at the same time, you might feel way more alive and inspired. You could be craving more freedom in partnerships, experimenting with your style, or getting surprised by crushes and creative urges you never saw coming!
Challenges during this transit
- Restlessness in relationships: You might suddenly feel bored with your usual social circle or a partner, wanting space or excitement, which can look like pulling away, acting on impulse, or even breaking things off suddenly. People around you may not understand where this is coming from.
- Unpredictable emotional swings: Relationships or close friendships can go from hot to cold fast. One day you’re head-over-heels, and the next, you want nothing to do with someone.
- Impulsive spending: Venus also rules money, so you might feel tempted to splurge on unusual or “cool” things- like futuristic tech gadgets or wild clothes- only to regret it later.
- Drama from the past: Old flames or people you thought were out of your life might show up out of nowhere, stirring up confusion or drama.
- Disruptions in your routines of pleasure: Hobbies or activities that used to make you happy might feel meh, creating a weird sense of dissatisfaction.
Opportunities during this transit
- Refreshing your love life: This is the perfect time to try new ways of connecting- maybe an unconventional date, long-distance relationship, or just being way more open about what you want.
- Boost of creativity: You might find yourself inspired to make music, art, or try out new hobbies- stuff that’s edgy, experimental, or just completely different for you.
- Making surprising connections: Uranus brings new people into your life, especially folks you wouldn’t expect to get along with. Sometimes these fresh friendships or romances open your mind in awesome ways.
- Personal freedom: If you’ve felt stuck in patterns or people-pleasing, this transit helps you break free and express your true self without caring so much about what’s normal.
- Discovering new values: Your idea of what’s beautiful or valuable can totally change- maybe you get into a new genre of music, or start appreciating different kinds of people and experiences.
- Learning to enjoy change: Instead of fighting the unpredictability, you start to feel more comfortable going with the flow and letting your desires shift and evolve.
