Sweet spot for love and self-care
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Venus conjunct Venus transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t start a brand-new serious romantic relationship unless you really know what you want. Emotions can be confusing during this time, and you might rush in based on excitement, not lasting feelings.
- Avoid overspending on luxury items, clothes, beauty treatments, or anything you think will “make you happy.” It’s super easy to buy on impulse right now.
- Don’t ignore red flags in relationships just because you’re feeling super affectionate or craving closeness. This transit can make you gloss over issues you’ll regret later.
- Try not to agree to things just to please others, especially dates or social events you don’t actually want to go to. You might end up feeling drained or disappointed.
- Avoid gossip or getting involved in other people’s drama, especially among friends, since social vibes can be supercharged and misunderstandings spread easily.
- Don’t make big changes to your appearance (like drastic haircuts, tattoos, or cosmetic procedures). You might regret spontaneous choices later on.
- Try not to depend too much on others for validation or happiness. It’s tempting to seek approval, but it’s better to keep your self-worth in check.
- Don’t reopen old wounds or reconnect with toxic exes just because you’re feeling nostalgic or lonely. This transit can make past relationships seem sweeter than they actually were.
- Avoid overcommitting yourself socially. Wanting to say yes to every invite can leave you feeling burnt out.
Do During This Transit
- Show yourself some love- treat yourself to something special or relaxing.
- Work on your relationships- spend extra time with people you care about.
- Go on a date, or plan a fun outing with your partner or friends.
- Get creative- try art, music, or anything that lets you express yourself.
- Update your style- buy new clothes, try a new hairstyle, or change up your look.
- Decorate your space- add something beautiful to your home or room.
- Do something nice for someone- random acts of kindness feel extra good now.
- Indulge a little- have your favorite dessert or enjoy a nice meal.
- Focus on self-care- pamper yourself, get a massage, or take a long bath.
- Practice gratitude for the good things and people in your life.

What’s interesting about this transit?
Ancient and older astrology books had some fascinating, less-talked-about takes on Venus conjunct Venus that go well beyond romance or self-love. Some early astrologers saw this as a reminder from Venus herself to offer gifts or tokens to someone you secretly admire- like a cosmic nudge to send flowers or write poetry. It was also believed to be a powerful time for reconciling with someone over past misunderstandings, because Venus doesn’t just make you sweet, she can mellow wounds.
Other rare interpretations say this is a lucky window for acquiring beautiful or meaningful objects- like finding a cherished heirloom, stumbling upon a bargain in an antique shop, or being gifted something with sentimental value. In ancient Persian astrology, this transit sometimes meant a dream regarding a woman (no matter your gender) could bring an important message about your own desires or self-worth.
There’re also lesser-known ideas about fertility and creativity: some medieval writers said anyone wishing to bless a new creation (a painting, a song, or even a child) should start under this transit for extra luck. There’s even notes in Greek and Renaissance sources that if you plant fragrant flowers during Venus conjunct Venus, they’ll flourish more beautifully than ones planted at other times. Basically, it was a time to honor beauty, love, and sweetness- often in ways that spoke to the senses.
Experiencing This Transit
When transiting Venus comes to sit on top of your natal Venus, the world feels softer. It’s like a spotlight on everything you personally find beautiful, pleasurable, or valuable. You may feel pulled toward your favorite music, art, food, and even people- anything that makes you feel good and valued. Your own style and personal tastes get recharged, and it’s not unusual to care a little extra about how you look, how your space feels, and what truly makes you happy right now.
People around you might notice you’re a bit more charming or generous- Venus is contagious like that. Relationships can suddenly feel sweeter or you might crave more harmony, not just in love but in friendships and family circles too. Money matters come into focus, sometimes giving opportunities, but also highlighting where you may be overspending for pleasure.
Challenges During This Transit
- Overindulgence: Venus wants all things nice, so it’s super easy to slip into overeating, overspending, or just being a bit too lazy about responsibilities. Suddenly, dessert and online shopping seem like a good idea… until later.
- Unrealistic Expectations in Love: During this time, you might expect people to notice and meet your needs without you saying anything. This can lead to disappointment or missed connections if you’re too passive or idealistic about romance and affection.
- Too Much People Pleasing: You might give in just to avoid conflict, even when you really don’t want to. This can leave you feeling resentful, or like you’re not being totally true to yourself.
- Ignoring Red Flags: You want everyone to get along, so you might look the other way on issues in relationships or money matters because you want to keep the peace.
Opportunities During This Transit
- Smoothing Over Rough Patches: If you’ve had an awkward vibe with someone, this is a great window to clear the air and rebuild a gentle connection. People are more open to kindness and apologies under this energy.
- Feeling Attractive: Self-confidence gets a natural boost, so it’s a perfect time for a style upgrade, creative self-expression, or just owning your unique charm- others usually notice!
- Strengthening Relationships: Dates, heart-to-hearts, or simply spending time with people you love is especially meaningful now. You can deepen bonds and make lovely memories.
- Financial Blessings: Sometimes, this transit brings little windfalls, lucky finds, or deals. If you want to invest in something you’ll love for a long time (like art, jewelry, or clothes), you’ve got Venus’ support.
- Creativity: Artists, musicians, or anyone crafty gets a big inspiration boost now. Even if you don’t think you’re creative, you might enjoy making something beautiful- baking, redecorating, or trying new hobbies.
