Avoid During Transit Uranus Opposite Venus
- Don’t make big decisions about love or relationships- you might feel impulsive or restless right now.
- Avoid sudden breakups or abrupt changes in your relationships. Give it time before you act.
- Don’t spend a lot of money on things you don’t really need, especially on a whim. Retail therapy can backfire during this transit.
- Try not to start a new romance just because you’re bored or craving excitement. It might not last.
- Avoid making drastic changes to your appearance or personal style. You might regret it later.
- Don’t ignore your own needs to please others, but also don’t act selfish without considering the consequences.
- Stay away from risky financial moves or investments. Uranus can bring surprises, and not always the fun kind.
- Avoid picking fights with loved ones just to shake things up. Drama isn’t worth it.
- Don’t quit your job or drop out of commitments out of nowhere- make sure you think things through.
- Try not to fall for someone just because they seem exciting or different. Attraction might not equal compatibility right now.
To Do During Transit Uranus Opposite Venus
- Be open to meeting new people- exciting, unexpected connections can pop up now.

- Learn about what real freedom and independence mean to you in relationships- you might discover you need more space.
- Let go of attachment to the way things “should” be in love and money. Stay flexible and see what surprises come up.
- Pick up a quirky hobby or interest; something offbeat might bring you a lot of joy right now.

What’s Interesting About Transit Uranus Opposite Venus?
- Peculiar Artistic Inspiration: According to Sepharial in The Manual of Astrology (1898), this transit can cause “unexpected tastes to arise, with the native often developing strange fancies for little-regarded arts, such as the making of mosaics or miniature sculpture, sometimes leading to an outpour of ingenuity in what is termed the minor arts.”
- Sudden Changes in Social Standing: Raphael writes in Raphael’s Guide to Astrology (1879) that Uranus opposing Venus “frequently portends abrupt reversals of fortune through scandal or the expose of a previously hidden attachment, particularly affecting the native’s reputation among the gentler sex.”
- Fascination with Esoteric Love Practices: Alan Leo in The Key to Your Own Nativity (1910; largely based on 19th-century doctrine) mentions that this transit might “stir up in the individual an interest in the amatory rites of forgotten peoples, or a desire to experiment with outlandish forms of the heart’s pursuit- sometimes leading to distress.”
- Troubles Through Unusual Gifts: In The Astrologer’s Guide (complied by W.C. Eldon Serjeant, 1880), we find that “when Uranus looks in adverse aspect to Venus, the person is often encumbered with strange tokens or gifts- curiosities, oddities- from those enamoured, which are more a burden than a pleasure.”
- Temporary Estrangement from Old Friends: Richard Garnett in The Soul and the Stars (1869) says “new and strange inclinations arrive, and rarely fail to estrange the native from old and dear friends, but for causes so trivial as to confound reason.”
- Sudden and Prophetic Dreaming: Greta Palmer in Astrological Mysteries Unveiled (1895) asserts that such a transit “may bring on powerful dreams of love affairs with people utterly unknown, which the old sages counted a sign of unseen influences at play.”
- Disruption to Personal Adornments: Per H.S. Green in Mundane or National Astrology (1911, referencing older practices), “the native might experience sudden loss or theft of jewelry or beautiful possessions, often in inexplicable ways suggesting ‘the hand of fate’.”

So, when these two face off, get ready for things to get interesting.
Challenges during Transit Uranus Opposite Venus
- Relationship shake-ups: You might suddenly feel restless in your closest relationships- even the ones that felt rock solid before. It can be hard to resist the urge to “see what else is out there,” or do something dramatic just for the thrill.
- Breakups, makeups, surprises: On-again, off-again situations are common. You or your partner might want more space, or an unexpected attraction could show up, making things complicated.
- Financial unpredictability: Money can get weird during this transit. Unexpected expenses pop up, or you might suddenly blow cash on something unusual or totally out of character for you (like a bright purple jacket, or an art sculpture you’ve never thought about before).
- Feeling out of sync: Compliments might not land the same, or you just don’t feel “yourself” in your body or style for a while. You could find your tastes flipping overnight, making you question your usual choices.
- Tendency to rebel out of boredom: You might purposely stir the pot or act out, just to keep things from getting boring- and sometimes that can backfire.
Opportunities during Transit Uranus Opposite Venus
- Fresh excitement: This is an awesome time for meeting new, fascinating people- folks you wouldn’t normally hang out with. Some of these connections might be short-lived, but you’ll learn a lot from the experience.
- Creative breakthroughs: If you’ve felt stuck or uninspired, this transit can actually spark tons of new ideas. Maybe you mix up your style, try a different art form, or take risks you’d never take before.
- Personal freedom: You get a strong sense of what you want and what you need to feel free. That could mean setting better boundaries or finally leaving situations that don’t excite you anymore.
- Surprising self-discoveries: You might find yourself drawn to stuff you never thought you’d like- think weird bands, quirky foods, or totally different types of friends. It’s a good time to experiment.
- Breaking patterns: If you’ve had unhealthy patterns in relationships or with money, Uranus can shake things up enough that you see another way forward. Sometimes you need chaos before the breakthrough.
