Surprising twists in love and friendships
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Venus square Uranus transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t make impulsive decisions in your relationships- drama can spark up fast right now.
- Try not to start a totally new romance just for the thrill of it. You might regret jumping in later.
- Don’t overspend, especially on trendy stuff or big splurges. Sudden urges to buy are common with this transit.
- Resist the temptation to break rules or rebel just for attention or excitement.
- Avoid suddenly quitting a friendship, partnership, or job- give yourself time to think first.
- Don’t rush into drastic changes with your looks (no surprise tattoos or wild hair colors unless you’ve thought it through!).
- Stay away from drama-filled or risky social scenes- you might get pulled into chaos easily.
- Avoid being inflexible with others. Being stubborn or unpredictable could stir up more tension than you want.
- Try not to flake on commitments or promises, even if you feel restless or bored.
- Don’t ignore your partner’s needs for space or stability; sudden changes can freak people out.
Do During This Transit
- Try something new in your look or style- maybe a fresh haircut or bold outfit.
- Shake up your routine in relationships. Suggest a spontaneous date or new activity with your partner.
- Explore creative hobbies that let you experiment, like painting, dance, or music.
- Be open to meeting unusual or interesting people- social energy is lively now.
- Redecorate your room or workspace in a way that feels different or unique.
- Give yourself permission to express your true self, even if it’s a bit quirky or unexpected.
- Attend events or workshops that are outside your comfort zone or usual interests.
- Ask yourself what feels stale in your relationships or social life, and brainstorm ways to refresh things.
- Embrace changes in your love life as learning opportunities, even if they’re surprising.
- Let go of old relationship patterns that are holding you back and try a new approach.
What’s interesting about this transit?
Venus square natal Uranus is a flashy transit even in modern astrology, but old astrology texts and obscure sources give us some pretty fascinating viewpoints on it too! Here are some you might not usually hear about:
- “Sudden Spinning of Affections”: An old French almanac from the 1800s says people under this transit “shift their hearts as quickly as a weathercock in a lightning storm,” meaning super-quick changes in who or what you’re attracted to.
- “The Juggler’s Slip”: An ancient Hellenistic source hints that Venus square Uranus can make someone mess up when trying to balance romance, money, and fun, leading to dropping all three for a short spell.
- “Talismans Lose Power”: There’s a medieval text that warns personal beauty charms or lucky accessories may stop working, or even bring mixed results when you carry them during this transit.
- “Unlikely Revelations”: Some Renaissance astrologers believed secrets about love, money, or art- especially weird ones- might come out by accident, like blurting out feelings you didn’t mean to share.
- “Unexpected Guests”: A lesser-known Victorian dream manual links this square to surprise visitors showing up at your door (sometimes even former lovers!).
- “Strange Appetites”: Some old medical astrology texts talk about this transit making people crave unusual foods or have odd tastes in art or clothing, just for a few days.
- “Glass Slippers Break”: An old fairy tale interpretation says that dreams of perfection in love may crack under pressure- you might see the true (and less fairy-tale) side of someone you adore.
Experiencing This Transit
When Venus squares your natal Uranus, things can get kind of electrifying- and definitely unpredictable- in your relationships, your taste in things, and even your sense of style or what you value. It usually shakes up whatever feels too “normal” or settled, sometimes in wild or thrilling ways, but sometimes it can feel a little too jarring too.
Challenges during this transit
- Restlessness in relationships: You might suddenly feel bored with a partner or friend, or crave way more excitement and freedom than usual. This can make things weird if people expect you to act the same as always.
- Sudden attraction to the “wrong” person: You may develop crushes on people who seem totally different from your type, or who are unavailable, just because they seem new and unusual.
- Impulsive spending or choices: It’s easy to blow your money (or time, or energy) on something totally random- maybe edgy clothes, a wild haircut, or a spontaneous trip- then regret it later.
- Unstable moods or friendships: You could snap at people from out of nowhere, or do things you normally wouldn’t, just to see what happens, which makes relationships feel pretty up-and-down.
- Difficulty accepting routine: Everyday routines and chores might suddenly feel unbearable, making you want to rebel or take risks to shake things up.
Opportunities during this transit
- Creative inspiration: This is a fantastic time to try a new art project, write something wild, or reinvent your look. You’ll probably feel flashes of creative energy you wouldn’t get any other way.
- Breaking free from old ruts: If you’ve been stuck in boring patterns, this transit can give you the push to try new hobbies, meet new people, or rearrange things in your life.
- More authenticity: You might realize you’ve been hiding your real self to please others. This transit encourages you to show your true colors- even if they’re a little quirky!
- Unexpected opportunities in love or money: Random encounters or sudden chances to make (or spend!) money could pop up. Say yes to the ones that truly excite you, but try not to leap without looking.
- Learning who or what is truly important: If someone bails on you or a plan falls apart, you’ll see who sticks around, and what actually matters to you. This is a good test- a little uncomfortable maybe, but revealing.
