Transit Venus Conjunct Natal Moon

Emotional sweetness

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

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t make big decisions about love or relationships. Your feelings might be extra intense or confusing, so it’s easy to jump into something you’ll regret later.
• Avoid emotional shopping sprees. You might be tempted to buy things for comfort, but try to keep your wallet closed unless it’s really necessary.
• Don’t get stuck in old emotional patterns. Venus and the Moon together can make you extra nostalgic, so be careful not to fall back into unhealthy habits or relationships from the past.
• Try not to overindulge in food or drink. It’s easy to chase comfort through sweets or snacks now, but going overboard could leave you feeling worse.
• Don’t ignore your boundaries. You might want to please everyone or say yes to things just for peace, so make sure you’re not sacrificing your own needs.
• Avoid gossiping or sharing too much personal info. Emotions run high during this transit, and saying something in the heat of the moment could backfire.
• Try not to take things too personally. With Venus meeting your Moon, you might be extra sensitive, so give yourself some space if things get overwhelming.

Do During This Transit

• Connect with loved ones: This is a great time to reach out, share your feelings, and get closer to family or friends. Emotional bonds feel stronger now.
• Practice self-care: Treat yourself to something nice, like a relaxing bath, new clothes, or your favorite comfort food. It’s okay to spoil yourself a little.
• Express your feelings: You’ll find it easier to talk about your emotions. Write someone a heartfelt note or just open up in conversation.
• Decorate your home: Venus loves beauty, so freshen up your space. Add flowers, rearrange furniture, or hang some art you love.
• Enjoy creativity: Try painting, music, baking, or any hobby that makes you feel creative and happy. Let your mood guide you.
• Resolve conflicts gently: If there’s been tension, this is a good time to smooth things over. You’re more likely to be understanding and forgiving.
• Focus on romance: Plan a date, write a love letter, or just spend cozy time with your partner. Feelings of affection come more naturally now.
• Practice gratitude: Take a moment to notice the good things in your life. It’s easier to feel content and emotionally fulfilled right now.
• Be open to kindness: Whether you’re giving or receiving, little acts of love and support will mean a lot during this transit.

What’s interesting about this transit?

Venus conjunct your natal Moon has always been a big deal in astrology, but some really old sources have quirky takes on it you don’t hear much about today. For example:

• Old Persian astrologers believed this transit could make a person enjoy opulent smells and cause them to crave perfumes, spices, and fragrant oils (super specific, right?), linking sweet scents to emotional comfort.
• Medieval Arabic texts sometimes said people might have vivid dreams of lost loves or even of their mothers. These dreams were said to contain important hidden messages or omens about future relationships.
• Some Renaissance astrologers claimed that household pets- especially cats- would show more affection or might act as “go-betweens” for emotional harmony during this transit.
• Vettius Valens (an ancient Greek astrologer) wrote that money could come from women specifically, like a gift from a female relative or friend or even finding coins in a place where women gather.
• Astrology from old India sometimes warned to avoid eating sweets or rich foods at this time since emotions could “flavor” the body- people might eat to soothe feelings and end up feeling sluggish or off-balance.
• 17th-century astrologers would sometimes say that paintings, decorations, or even rearranging furniture would have a soothing magical effect under this transit, almost as if beauty itself could calm storms in the soul.

Experiencing This Transit

When Venus lines up exactly with your natal Moon, feelings get softer, sweeter, and maybe just a little dramatic. The Moon is your emotional world, and Venus is all about pleasure, beauty, love, and harmony. When they team up, you’re drawn toward things (and people!) that just feel good and nurturing. Emotions come up easily and there’s usually a deep craving for connection- or at least some coziness. You might find yourself wanting to spend time with people you trust, or just treat yourself kindly (think: sweet snacks, soft music, cozy blankets, or calling up your best friend).

It’s a great time for romance, bonding, or just enjoying life’s little pleasures. But these gentle, lovely vibes can bring out both some really nice moments and a few bumps too.

Challenges during this transit

• Over-sensitivity: You might take things way more personally than usual, especially if someone you care about ignores you, or if you feel underappreciated.
• Wanting too much comfort: There can be a pull toward emotional (and actual) indulgence- like overeating, overspending on pretty things, or just being lazy. You might avoid important stuff just to stay in your comfort zone.
• Mood swings: Since emotions are heightened, little things could hit harder. A small argument might feel like a huge deal, or a minor disappointment could totally knock you off-balance.
• Attachment issues: You might cling too tightly to people or memories, especially past loves or anything familiar, making it hard to move forward.
• Trouble saying no: Wanting to keep peace and avoid conflict might make you more likely to agree to things you don’t really want.

Opportunities during this transit

• Emotional healing: It’s the perfect moment for heart-to-hearts and working through old emotional wounds.
• Nurturing connections: Bonds with friends, family, or your sweetie can get stronger. Even reaching out to someone you haven’t spoken to in a while might feel extra meaningful.
• Creative inspiration: Artistic juices flow! Painting, music, poetry, decorating your space, or making something with your hands should come really naturally.
• Self-care upgrades: Anything nice you do for yourself- candles, beauty rituals, a good meal, or a night in- feels ten times more soothing and joyful.
• Diplomacy and peacemaking: It’s easier to smooth over arguments, resolve disagreements, and bring harmony to tricky situations.
• Attracting kindness: Others see you in a warmer, friendlier light. You might get compliments, gifts, or little helpful gestures with no strings attached.
