Fated love connections
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Venus conjunct North Node transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t force relationships to move faster than they naturally want to. Let connections grow at their own pace.
- Avoid making big commitments in love or business just for comfort or because something feels “meant to be” – take your time to see the true picture.
- Don’t ignore red flags in new relationships. Just because something feels fated doesn’t mean it’s automatically healthy or right for you.
- Steer clear of people-pleasing at the expense of your own values or goals, especially with new people entering your life.
- Don’t spend impulsively on luxury items, beauty treatments, or anything to “treat yourself” if you know it strains your budget.
- Avoid clinging to the past in love. This transit is about your future; don’t let old patterns hold you back.
- Try not to compare your love or creative life with others’ journeys. Focus on your unique path.
- Don’t ignore opportunities for self-growth just to keep the peace – growth is what this transit is really about.
- If you’re feeling drawn toward someone or something, don’t rush in blindly. Take a step back to make sure it aligns with your true long-term goals.
Do During This Transit
- Open up to new relationships – This is a great time to meet new people, make new friends, or start a romantic relationship. You’re more likely to attract folks who help you grow.
- Say yes to invitations – Whether it’s a party, a date, or a group hangout, go for it! These events can connect you with people and paths meant for you.
- Work on self-love and self-worth – Take care of yourself, treat yourself well, and let yourself feel valued. It’s easier to see your own beauty now.
- Pursue creative projects – Try art, music, design, or anything that lets you express yourself. Your creative side is getting a boost!
- Focus on what you love – Spend time on hobbies, interests, and activities that light you up inside. It’s a chance to see what really feels right for you.
- Make peace or heal old hurts – If you’ve had rough patches with people, this transit can help you smooth things over or forgive.
- Enhance your appearance – If you want a new haircut or to try a new style, go for it! Venus boosts your confidence and sense of aesthetics.
- Set intentions for your future – Think about your dreams in love, friendship, and creativity, and set some goals. This is a powerful time to point yourself in a new direction.
- Practice gratitude – Notice the love and beauty already in your life and be thankful for it. Gratitude makes the good stuff grow.
What’s interesting about this transit?

- Firmicus Maternus mentioned that this transit could bring “inherited treasures,” suggesting gifts or inheritances- sometimes not just money, but wisdom from ancestors or sudden insight that feels like a birthright.
- Older Arabic texts suggested Venus and the North Node coming together was a sign of meeting a soulmate-like figure, but with a twist: this person might initially feel unfamiliar or oddly fated, perhaps someone from a foreign place or background.
- The Persian astrologer al-Biruni noted that this contact could “delight the eyes,” sometimes bringing literal improvements in vision or leading you to discover something beautiful that’s been hidden in plain sight.
- In medieval European manuscripts, Venus conjunct the North Node was connected to artistic destiny- a sign that fate might nudge you into the arts, or at least put you in front of people who’ll open creative doors.
- Some Renaissance astrologers saw this as the “sweetening” of fate, hinting that even difficult roads could become suddenly easier, like finding a shortcut you didn’t know existed.
Experiencing This Transit
When Venus swings into a conjunction with your natal North Node, it’s like fate and pleasure holding hands. The North Node is all about your life path and bigger lessons, while Venus brings good vibes, beauty, love, and money. When these two team up, life can suddenly feel sweeter- and like you’re being nudged toward something or someone totally meant for you. It’s a transit that works quietly, so you might just feel “guided” to say yes to that party, try a new hobby, or text someone you hardly know. Venus gently asks you to trust the flow.
Challenges during this transit
- Temptation Overload: With Venus boosting what you want and the North Node making it feel “fated,” it’s easy to let your desires run wild. Maybe you fall for someone who seems perfect… but isn’t right for you long-term. Or you overspend on things you think you need for your “destiny.”
- Missing Red Flags: The sparkle of Venus can hide stuff. You might overlook warning signs, convincing yourself that a new friend, crush, or job opportunity is your “soul path” when really, it’s just a nice distraction.
- Sugar-Coated Truth: Sometimes, people are so charming during this transit that you’re not sure if what you’re hearing is authentic or just well-said. You might struggle to separate flattery from real support.
- Feeling Pressured to be Social: Venus is social, and the North Node can make you feel like you “should” be out meeting people or chasing pleasure, which can be stressful if you just want to chill.
Opportunities during this transit
- Karmic Connections: There’s a real chance you’ll meet someone who seems familiar instantly- like you’ve known them forever, even if you just met. These relationships can help move you along your life path, whether it’s romance, friendship, or a mentor.
- Artistic Breakthroughs: If you do anything creative, this is your green light. You might find a new muse or create something that feels important, sparking a project or collaboration that actually leads to bigger things.
- Money or Value Finds You: Instead of chasing cash or validation, you might get an offer, gift, or opportunity almost out of nowhere. Sometimes, it’s literally finding money or hearing about a job lead in a random conversation.
- More Confidence in Your Worth: Venus here can help you see what’s good about yourself and make choices that match your value. You might stand up for yourself in relationships or decide to expect more from people who matter.
- Heart-Opening Moments: You’re more likely to open up emotionally and even forgive (yourself or someone else). It’s a great time to let go of grudges, say sorry, or heal old wounds as fate nudges you forward.
