Unexpected romantic shake-ups
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Venus quincunx Uranus transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t make sudden changes to your relationships- impulsive breakups or quick new connections could backfire.
- Avoid spending money on quirky or unconventional items just because you feel bored or restless.
- Try not to rebel for the sake of it, especially in romantic or social situations; it might create unnecessary drama.
- Don’t ignore your partner’s or friends’ feelings if you’re craving more freedom- communication matters.
- Hold off on shocking style makeovers or drastic changes to your appearance; you might regret it later.
- Don’t jump into experimental experiences just to escape routine- make sure it’s really what you want.
- Avoid online flirting or risky romantic behavior- it’s easy to misjudge intentions during this time.
- Don’t overlook details in contracts, payments, or deals; distractions can lead to mistakes.
- Try not to escape your usual responsibilities in the name of pursuing excitement- balance is key.
- Don’t brush off small conflicts with others; little misunderstandings can get blown out of proportion right now.
Do During This Transit
- Try something new in your relationships- maybe a fun date or an unexpected compliment.
- Switch up your personal style. Wear colors or outfits you don’t usually go for.
- Explore creative activities, even if they seem weird at first. Paint, dance, write- just express yourself.
- Give yourself extra flexibility with routines. Don’t schedule every minute; let yourself be spontaneous.
- Pay attention to sudden inspirations about love, art, or values. Jot down those wild ideas.
- Reach out to interesting or unconventional people- someone you might not usually talk to.
- Expect unexpected feelings in relationships. Try not to overreact if things feel a little shaky.
- Experiment with your surroundings- rearrange your room or add unusual decorations.
- Practice patience when plans change or people act unpredictably. See where surprises take you.
- Give yourself permission to let go of expectations about how things “should” be, especially in love and friendships.
What’s Interesting About This Transit
- Strange Twists in Social Circles: According to Sepharial’s The New Manual of Astrology (1898), Venus quincunx Uranus can bring “peculiar and unexpected invitations to unsought entertainments,” sometimes resulting in “companionships of a rather bizarre or foreign nature.”
- Sudden Departure From Fashion: In Astrologia Gallica by Jean-Baptiste Morin (English translation, but referencing 19th-century usage), this aspect is said to cause “a diversion from prevailing tastes and fads, making one’s affections or dress sense appear ‘odd’ or unfashionable for a brief spell.”
- Unexpected Financial Outlays: Alan Leo, in Text Book of Modern Astrology (1910, echoing earlier themes), talks about this aspect as triggering “erratic or unforeseen payments for the sake of another,” especially for friends or new acquaintances.
- Interference in Artistic Projects: In Raphael’s Key to Astrology (1893), it’s claimed that Venus quincunx Uranus may “hinder the completion of ornamental or musical undertakings through the interposition or eccentricity of another.”
- Disturbance in Love’s Routine: Thomas H. Burgoyne in The Light of Egypt (1889) wrote that this aspect might “upset the monotony of love by the appearance of an odd or awakening interest, often described as a soul’s strange hunger.”
- Sneaking Sense of Restlessness: Sepharial again, in Manual of Occultism (1895), noted that this transit “stirs a subtle agitation in the sphere of personal pleasures, as if one is moth-like, fluttering from candle to candle, never content.”
- Unusual Reactions to Perfume & Scents: An obscure mention in The Astrologer’s Guide by William Lilly (reprinted in the 19th century) says the aspect can sometimes “breed a distaste for customary scents, or provoke an odd preference for exotic aromas.”
- Drawn To Fanciful Causes: In Astrology For All by Alan Leo (1899), a Venus quincunx Uranus transit can “suddenly attach the native to a philanthropic movement, though the enthusiasm is seldom permanent or practical.”
- Surprise From Forgotten Friends: From Raphael’s Almanac (19th-century editions), this aspect was said to herald “news or tokens from persons long absent, arriving in unexpected and peculiar fashion.”
- Sparks of Musical Inspiration From Unusual Sources: According to The Art and Practice of Ancient Astrology by Luke Dennis Broughton (1898), the quincunx between Venus and Uranus can bring “inspiration from most unmusical objects- a chime of glass, wind upon tin, or even distant industrial sounds.”
Experiencing This Transit
With transiting Venus quincunx your natal Uranus, life won’t quite move in a straight line, especially when it comes to love, money, and what makes you feel comfortable. Venus wants harmony and sweetness, but Uranus is restless and unpredictable, bringing surprises and a touch of chaos. Their awkward angle means neither planet gets its way easily- so things can get bumpy, but also fascinating.
During this transit, you might get a sudden urge to do something out of character, especially in relationships or with your personal style. Maybe you’re thinking of changing your look up, decorating your space with something offbeat, or you’re drawn to people you’d never usually notice. If you’re in a relationship, sparks might fly- sometimes exciting, sometimes jarring. You could crave new experiences, but it’s hard to tell whether these urges will make you happy or just shake things up for the sake of change.
With money, things might take a strange turn. Unexpected expenses or surprise opportunities could pop up, but it’s tough to predict which way things will go. It’s like you’ve got the urge to buy something really weird, or you might suddenly want to invest in something risky or unusual.
Challenges during this transit
- You might feel restless in your relationships, craving excitement but not knowing how to get it without upsetting someone.
- Normal routines can suddenly become boring or even annoying, making it hard to focus or finish things you started.
- Communication with partners, friends, or coworkers might get weird- either you’re misunderstood, or you can’t find the right words.
- Impulsive decisions are a real risk: you may splurge on something flashy, chase a sudden romantic whim, or break a commitment just for the thrill.
- Old feelings of not fitting in might come up again, and you could feel awkward or disconnected from your usual crowd for a few days.
Opportunities during this transit
- Amazing inspiration for creativity- this is a great time to try new styles in art, music, fashion, or decorating your space.
- You can meet new people with seriously unique interests or backgrounds, opening your eyes and maybe leading to real connections in the future.
- There’s energy for breaking out of stale routines, so if you’ve felt stuck, this can help you make overdue changes- just take it slow.
- Your dreams and intuition might be more vivid- pay attention to sudden “aha!” moments about what (and who) you actually want in life.
- If you’re feeling brave, you could be the one to start a conversation that’s been a long time coming- just aim for honesty over shock factor.
In the end, even though things may feel offbeat or unpredictable, there’s a sense of excitement hanging in the air. You might not have all the answers, but you definitely won’t be bored.
