Transit Venus Sextile Natal Sun

Charming Confidence Boost

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

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t take your relationships for granted – just because things feel easy doesn’t mean you should ignore important conversations or issues.
• Try not to overspend – you’ll feel tempted to treat yourself or buy pretty things, but it’s easy to go overboard right now.
• Don’t get lazy with self-care – this is a feel-good transit, and you might put off routines because you feel relaxed. Stick with the things that keep you healthy.
• Avoid people-pleasing – it’s a social time and you want everyone to be happy, but don’t say yes to stuff you don’t actually want to do.
• Don’t ignore boundaries – both your own and others’. Charm can open doors, but respect is still important.
• Try not to be superficial – enjoy the good vibes, but look deeper if important decisions need to be made, especially about love or money.
• Don’t take your talents or good luck for granted – appreciate nice opportunities, but stay humble and keep putting in effort.
• Steer clear of drama or gossip – Venus transits are about harmony, but getting sucked into mess can disrupt your peace.

• Start a new romance or strengthen your current relationship- love vibes are strong!
• Plan a date, flirt, or just say yes to invitations. You might attract new connections.
• Pamper yourself- treat yourself to some self-care, like a spa day or a new outfit.
• Express your creativity- paint, write, dance, or do anything that gets your artistic side going.
• Ask for favors or try to smooth over any conflicts- the energy is great for making peace.
• Decorate your space or make your environment more beautiful- you’re more likely to enjoy it now.
• Work on team projects or collaborations- cooperation comes more easily and people get along better.
• Negotiate or make deals- you’re charming and persuasive under this transit.
• Show appreciation or gratitude to the people you care about- relationships just flow better now.

What’s interesting about this transit?

Most folks know Venus sextile Sun transits are about feeling good, loving vibes, and social luck. But let’s dig into some of the older, more obscure takes from astrology texts that don’t make the Instagram quotes:

• Old Persian astrology said this transit protected travelers and messengers- Venus and Sun “well-aspected” meant luck on the road, and strangers turned out to be friends.
• Renaissance texts called this the “artists’ blessing”- good for painters, musicians, and anyone shaping beauty with their hands. It was thought that whatever you create now would last longer and be remembered.
• Ancient Hellenistic sources saw Venus sextile Sun as a “minor oath”- this was a time when promises and understandings, even if they seemed casual, would turn out to matter in the future.
• Early Indian astrologers suggested this aspect was best for patching up friendships, especially between people of rival families or groups, sometimes hinting it could heal old feuds.
• Some 19th-century manuals believed that this transit attracted gentle animals or children to you- random but sweet! You might suddenly be the center of attention for pets or kids.
• Arab astrologers wrote that Venus sextile Sun helps you find lost things- not so much missing socks or earrings, but “losses of the heart,” like reconnecting with old flames or former friends.
• Medieval court astrologers saw this transit as likely to inspire spontaneous gifts or unexpected invitations involving music, feasting, or dancing.

Experiencing This Transit

When Venus forms a sextile with your natal Sun, it feels like a little bit of sunshine is shining just for you. Venus is all about pleasure, connection, and beauty, while the Sun represents your core self and vitality. With the sextile (which is a friendly, easy angle), the two work together almost effortlessly. Life doesn’t suddenly become drama-free, but there’s a cooperative vibe between what you want and what makes you happy. You might feel more charming, creative, and in touch with what brings you joy.

This is a great time for “leaning in” to what delights you- whether that’s art, music, fashion, flirting, or even just hanging out with friends. It’s not usually an explosive energy but more like a gentle nudge saying, “Hey, enjoy this.”

Challenges during this transit

• You might get a little too comfortable. It’s so easy and nice, you could end up being lazy or not pushing yourself at all- like eating the cookies but never baking them yourself.
• If you’re conflict-avoidant, you might avoid difficult conversations or important decisions just to keep the peace.
• This aspect can make you too agreeable or people-pleasing, so be careful not to let others take advantage of your good mood.
• Some people might think you’re flaky or indecisive now, since you’re vibing on “easy-breezy” energy.

Opportunities during this transit

• This is prime time for making new friends or deepening bonds with old ones. Reach out; you’ll probably get a warm response.
• If you’ve got creative urges, just start making things– paint, write, decorate your space. Stuff you dream up now might turn out extra lovely or meaningful.
• Negotiations and smoothing over disagreements are easier. Use this to patch things up or broker compromises.
• You might find yourself invited to fun events, parties, or spontaneous outings. Say yes; good stuff can come out of these social moments.
• Your self-esteem gets a little boost– you’ll probably feel attractive and more appreciated. Flirting and romance come easily, even for shy folks.
• If you’re into shopping or treating yourself, it’s great for picking out things that genuinely match your taste (just don’t go overboard).

Let this good energy help you enjoy yourself, welcome new faces into your world, and add some sweetness to the usual day-to-day.
