What’s Interesting About Transit Venus Square Uranus
- Sudden disruptions in artistic inspiration: According to Raphael’s Manual of Astrology (1861), Venus in square to Uranus might “quite overturn the artistic faculties, so that works commenced with vigor are suddenly cast aside in favor of vanities.” This was considered a sign of frustration in creative endeavors rather than success.
- Electricity affecting the complexion: In Zadkiel’s Handbook of Astrology (1852), it’s noted that, “when Venus suffers affliction from Uranus, the native’s skin is apt to flare or flush as if electrified, particularly in nervous individuals born under Taurus or Libra rising.”
- Unusual encounters during travel: William Lilly’s successors wrote in The Astrologer’s Vade Mecum (c. 1840), “Venus squared by Uranus brings strangers of queer manner or foreign habit, met not in one’s own circle but commonly whilst at movement- on highways, trains, or inns.”
- Love tokens exchanged under odd circumstances: Thomas H. Burgoyne’s Light of Egypt (1889) describes this transit as a time when, “talismans and gifts signifying affection are found or received in the most peculiar ways, oft left anonymously or by young children.”
- Suitors of unconventional appearance: From The Manual of Astrology by Sepharial (1898): “Persons affected may attract amorous attentions from those possessing deformity or unusual physiognomy, or of a dress and manner eccentric to the common style.”
- Disorder in household ornaments: Raphael (1861) remarks, “Venus in adverse square to Uranus will breed a curious untidiness, as trinkets, pictures, and china are misplaced or upset, especially by accident or domestic animals.”
- Inexplicable anxieties in social gatherings: In Zadkiel’s Handbook (1852): “Females shall experience a nescient dread in parties or balls under this influence, especially if music is of the newer sort or played electrically.”
- Unexpected noise or music: From Alan Leo’s How to Judge a Nativity (1910, referencing earlier traditions): “During a Venus-Uranus square, the native is apt to be much discomposed by sudden sounds, bells, or curious music materializing without evident source in the home or street.”
Experiencing Transit Venus Square Uranus
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 Transit Venus Square Uranus
- 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 Transit Venus Square Uranus
- 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.
