Transit Uranus Quincunx Natal Venus

Unexpected relationship adjustments

Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Uranus Quincunx Venus transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t make sudden or impulsive decisions about love or relationships. Things might look exciting, but that energy can be confusing or unstable.
• Avoid making big changes to your appearance, like getting a dramatic haircut or a tattoo you haven’t thought through. You might regret the choices later.
• Don’t rush into new relationships or hookups just because you’re craving excitement or something different. This transit can stir up restlessness and lead to poor judgment.
• Try not to overspend on luxury items, fashion, or beauty stuff. It’s easy to buy on a whim and regret it afterward with Uranus stirring things up.
• Don’t ignore real problems in your love life or friendships, thinking they’ll magically fix themselves. Uranus quincunx Venus can make issues feel weird or uncomfortable, but avoiding them just makes things trickier.
• Avoid being unpredictable or flaky with the people you care about. It might feel tempting to shake things up, but too much unpredictability can upset or confuse others.
• If you’re in a committed relationship, don’t flirt or seek attention elsewhere to feel “alive” or “free.” This transit can make you want variety, but it’s not worth sacrificing trust.
• Don’t completely close off your emotions just because things feel awkward. Uranus can bring up weird feelings, but shutting down won’t help you connect or understand what’s going on.
• Try not to compare your relationship or love life to others, especially if social media makes things look greener elsewhere. Uranus can make you restless, but comparison won’t bring happiness.
• Don’t forget to ground yourself and find a little routine or stability. Too much chaos or chasing excitement can leave you feeling unbalanced.

Do During This Transit

• Experiment with your look. Try a new hairstyle, different clothes, or a fresh style. You might surprise yourself!
• Give your relationships some space. Don’t cling or expect everything to go as planned- let things flow and see what happens.
• Break out of relationship routines. Try new activities together or meet new people. Shake up your usual date night.
• Be open to meeting unexpected people. Someone totally different could pop into your life- you might really click with them.
• Explore creative hobbies. Do something artistic or crafty, even if you’ve never tried it before.
• Update your home décor. Move your furniture around, add a quirky piece, or change the vibe in your space.
• Stay flexible with your values. It’s a good time to question what matters most to you in love and money- don’t be afraid to adjust your priorities.
• Look for new ways to handle finances. Think about budgeting apps, different ways to save, or explore alternative income streams.
• Say yes to spontaneous adventures. If a friend invites you somewhere last minute, go! Fun could come from unexpected places.
• Practice self-love. Treat yourself kindly if things feel unstable or people act unpredictably. You’re changing and growing.

What’s Interesting About This Transit

• Unexpected Artistic Impulses: Richard Garnett, in his 1862 treatise Essays of Astrological Curiosities, links Uranus quincunx Venus to “an uneasy stirring in the region of fine arts, where the native may feel compelled to experiment with unusual materials or forms, often to their own bewilderment.” According to Garnett, this transit can make someone try odd artistic or musical projects, but the results might feel foreign or even unsettling to them.
• Unanticipated Estrangements: Madame Amelia Faulkner, in The Planets and Our Passions (1858), wrote that “the Venus-Uranus misalliance oftentimes portends an abrupt withdrawal of affection on either side, spawned not by quarrel but by an intangible restlessness or misplaced humour.” So, during this transit, you might find old friendships or romances cooling off for no clear reason, with people just seeming to drift apart.
• Peculiar Social Invitations: Gustavus H. Blavatsky in Celestial Aberrations (1871) mentioned that under this aspect, “one is likely to be drawn, as if by magnetic folly, into circles never before trodden, and amidst companions whose tastes dwell outside the customary purlieu.” In other words, you might suddenly get invited to strange gatherings or meet very eccentric people, prompting you to question your own social preferences.
• Unusual Attire or Ornamentation: According to Dr. Eduard von Reichenbach in Astrologische Geheimnisse (1867), this transit can trigger “a fitful inclination to adorn the person in fashions hitherto repugnant, be it in color, fabric, or design; to the perplexity of acquaintances.” You might feel compelled to wear clothes or jewelry that’s really out of character for you.
• Fluctuating Finances Through Novel Ventures: In On the Vagaries of Fortune under Uranus (1865), C.J. LaGrange warns that with Uranus quincunx Venus “the native may experience gains or losses through incongruous investments, particularly with schemes presented in a novel guise.” So, you might be tempted to try out new ways of managing your money- especially odd or trendy ideas- but the financial results can be unpredictable.
• Sudden Tastes for the Exotic: According to A Compendium of Planetary Influences by Samuel Bisset (1853), “there comes a period in which the native seeks flavors, sights, and company not previously desired, all under Venus’ domain but colored by Uranus’ oddness.” You might suddenly crave unusual foods, new decor, or music from far-off places, even without quite knowing why.
• Restless Romantic Daydreams: Eliza Harding’s Astrological Letters to a Friend (1869) describes this transit as causing “mind-wanderings wherein the heart is drawn to imagined paramours, strange and unbidden, though little impetus is found to act upon such fancies.” You might daydream about unusual crushes or love scenarios but feel awkward or hesitant to act on them.

Experiencing This Transit

With Uranus quincunx your natal Venus, life can feel like you’re on a weird carnival ride- suddenly you want different things, or get pulled toward odd people or experiences you wouldn’t have looked at twice before. Uranus is all about surprises and rebellion; Venus is love, money, and beauty. The quincunx part means this energy isn’t flowing smoothly- there’s friction, weirdness, and a feeling like you’re itching in your own skin.

Challenges during this transit

• Restlessness in Love: You might feel bored, jittery, or even frustrated with whoever you’re dating (or married to), even if nothing specific is wrong. You could have urges to shake things up, flirt with someone unexpected, or even ghost someone important without knowing why.
• Impulse Spending- or Weird Tastes: You could find yourself buying stuff you usually wouldn’t touch, like oddball clothes, strange artwork, or just things that seem cool in the moment but later make you wonder, “Why did I buy this?”
• Misunderstandings with Friends or Lovers: Since your feelings and needs are shifting, other people might think you’re acting flaky or unreliable. Plans fall apart, or you just can’t seem to sync up.
• Uncomfortable Self-Awareness: Maybe you realize you like things- or people- that are “off-brand” for you, and you can feel awkward or even embarrassed about it.
• Relationship Guilt: If you act on some of your wilder urges (like testing boundaries or going after a new crush) you might feel guilty or anxious afterwards, as if you’re betraying your values.

Opportunities during this transit

• Fresh Inspiration: You might suddenly “get” styles of art, music, or fashion you never liked before- and this can give your own creativity a major boost.
• Out-Of-The-Blue Romances or Friendships: Someone totally outside your usual “type” might catch your eye (or vice versa), and these connections can be electric, even if they don’t last forever.
• Reevaluating Values: Uranus pushes you to question what (or who) you really care about. It’s an awesome time for getting honest about what you truly value, instead of just what’s expected.
• Personal Reinvention: You have the urge to experiment- with your looks, your social scenes, or your emotional reactions- so if you’ve ever wanted to try out a new style or scene, this is your moment.
• Breaking Relationship Patterns: Maybe you realize you always date the same kind of person or fall into the same fights. This transit can be like a cosmic “pattern interrupt,” snapping you out of old cycles.
