“Sweet harmony and flirting vibes.”
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Venus sextile Venus transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t ignore important responsibilities. It’s easy to get caught up in good vibes and fun, but don’t let your duties slide.
- Avoid spending too much money. You might feel more generous or tempted to splurge. Try not to go overboard with shopping or treating yourself (or others).
- Don’t take relationships for granted. Just because things are going smoothly, don’t neglect the effort it takes to keep connections strong.
- Don’t start drama for excitement. With all the harmony floating around, it’s not a good time to stir up issues just to see what happens.
- Avoid trying to escape problems. The easy energy might make you want to ignore anything uncomfortable, but it’s better to deal with things as they come.
- Don’t force big decisions in love or money. The pleasant mood might make everything seem perfect, but it’s better to wait until you’re viewing things more realistically.
- Don’t overcommit socially. You might feel super sociable, but don’t say yes to every invite and end up exhausted.
- Don’t ignore your own needs. Being focused on others is great, but make sure you’re taking care of yourself, too.
Do During This Transit
- Connect with friends- it’s a great time to hang out or make new ones.
- Go on dates or spend quality time with your partner- love feels easy and natural now.
- Start a creative project- art, music, decorating, or anything that lets you express yourself.
- Treat yourself to something nice, like a new outfit or some self-care.
- Work on smoothing over any misunderstandings or tension in relationships.
- Host a small gathering- people are more open and friendly during this transit.
- Do something relaxing, like visiting a spa, meditating, or enjoying good food and music.
- Collaborate with others- teamwork is easier and you’ll get along well.
- If you want to ask someone out or confess feelings, this is a good moment.
- Appreciate art, beauty, and anything that lifts your spirits- go to a gallery, a concert, or just enjoy nature.
What’s interesting about this transit?
Venus sextile natal Venus is usually seen as an easy or “lucky” little window, but if you dig into old astrology texts, there are some really quirky interpretations:
- Some Renaissance astrologers believed this aspect was a subtle sign that someone would inherit a family keepsake, or be gifted a forgotten relic from ancestors. Not something huge like property- just sentimental stuff, like a recipe book or a letter.
- Ancient Persian and Arab astrologers connected this transit to success with negotiations between women- like matchmaking, female friendships, or getting help from aunties and grandmothers in matters of love or finance.
- One obscure 17th-century French astrology manual claimed Venus sextile Venus increased the sweetness in a person’s voice, making it easier to smooth over misunderstandings with music, singing, or heartfelt speech.
- There’s an old belief from some Hermetic writers that this transit softens rivalry: if you had a “frenemy”, something would happen during this time to make things more civil or even gently humorous between you.
- Some old texts even thought this transit brought a tendency to “find beauty in odd places,” like suddenly loving weird art, collecting quirky trinkets, or just enjoying something that most people overlook.
Experiencing This Transit
When Venus in the sky is sextile your natal Venus, it’s like getting a warm, gentle wave of good vibes. You might feel a little lighter, your relationships seem to flow with less effort, and there’s often a mood of wanting to connect, share, and appreciate the pretty things in life. It’s an invitation to bring out your inner charmer and also to enjoy whatever (or whoever) makes your heart happy right now.
Challenges during this transit
- Too much “yes”: With all the easy, lovely energy, you might go along with things just to keep the peace, or say yes to invites, dates, or purchases you don’t actually want. Watch out for overcommitting, especially to social plans or temptations to spend a bit too much on fun stuff.
- Letting things slide: Sometimes Venus sextile Venus makes you so comfy in your relationships or self-image that you ignore minor annoyances or sweep small problems under the rug. They can pop up again later if you don’t pay a little attention now.
- Indulgence: This is a very “treat yourself!” transit, so keep an eye on overdoing sweets, shopping, or even flirting just for the ego boost when you don’t actually mean it. Too much of anything- yes, even affection- can turn things messy.
Opportunities during this transit
- Making peace: If you’ve had tension with someone, especially women or old friends, this is a good time to patch things up or just enjoy being around them again. Even just laughing about old stuff can help.
- Strengthening connections: Plan a low-key hangout, send a loving message, or just share some music or a meal with someone you care about. You’ll find others are more open and affectionate right now, too.
- Creative flow: If you do anything artistic- drawing, singing, writing, redecorating your space- ideas and inspiration could come easily. You’ll likely enjoy the process (and the results) more than usual.
- Attracting good stuff: People are drawn to your charm even if you don’t try. It’s a nice time to ask for a favor, introduce yourself to someone, or put your work out there. Flirting, dating, or networking all go smoother.
- Appreciating beauty: Do something to delight your senses: listen to music you love, wear something special, or visit beautiful places. This transit is like an energy boost for your sense of style and appreciation for all things lovely.
