Transit Venus Square Natal Venus

Romantic tensions or mixed signals.

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

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t start a new romantic relationship- things might feel exciting now but could get messy later.
• Avoid making big decisions about love or commitment; your feelings could be all over the place right now.
• Don’t overspend or splurge on luxury items- you might regret those impulse buys.
• Avoid borrowing or lending money to friends; misunderstandings or hurt feelings are more likely.
• Don’t ignore tension in your existing relationships; sweeping stuff under the rug can make problems worse.
• Avoid trying to “fix” someone else’s love life- focus on your own instead.
• Don’t jump into beauty treatments or dramatic makeovers; you might not end up loving the results.
• Avoid risky social situations where drama is likely; people’s feelings (including yours) are extra sensitive now.
• Don’t let jealousy or insecurity get the best of you- pause before reacting emotionally.
• Avoid making promises you’re not sure you can keep, especially when it comes to love or friendship.

Do During This Transit

• Reflect on your relationships- think about what’s working and what’s not.
• Talk out any tension or misunderstandings with loved ones.
• Check your budget and avoid big, impulse buys- you might feel drawn to spend, but it’s best to wait.
• Switch up your style a bit, but hold off on anything too dramatic or permanent.
• Spend time on self-care, like relaxing with a good movie or taking a bubble bath.
• Notice any patterns in love or friendship that keep repeating, and consider making a change.
• Creatively express your feelings- try art, music, writing, or whatever helps you process emotions.
• Be kind to yourself, and cut yourself some slack if you feel a little insecure or out of sync.
• Say no to unnecessary drama or people who don’t respect your boundaries.
• Appreciate the simple pleasures- good food, nice weather, a favorite song.

What’s interesting about this transit?

• Some old astrologers wrote that a Venus square Venus transit could cause “unseasonable longing”- basically cravings for things or people at the weirdest or most inconvenient times. You might suddenly want something you usually ignore or feel a weird kind of nostalgia for an old flame.
• A few ancient texts mention that this transit can tempt people into “idle amusements,” like wasting time on pointless shopping or socializing with folks who don’t actually help you grow. It’s as if your sense of pleasure is just a little “off.”
• There’s a rare interpretation that says a Venus square Venus transit might trigger “quarrels between female friends or kin,” so watch out for sudden, silly drama in your friendships or family relationships, especially with women.
• Some old Italian astrologers saw this transit as an omen for “discord among the handmaidens,” which today would translate to fights or misunderstandings among your friend group or people you work closely with, especially over small things.
• In some traditional sources, they say food might not “taste as sweet” during this transit, both literally and symbolically. You might find that things you usually enjoy feel kind of bland or unimpressive for no clear reason.

Experiencing This Transit

When Venus in the sky is squaring your natal Venus, it can feel like you’re at odds with yourself about what you want, especially regarding love, money, and pleasure. This transit puts pressure on your sense of harmony, so you’ll probably notice things feeling out of sync in those areas. Don’t be surprised if your usual ways of relaxing or showing affection just don’t “hit right,” or if there’s some friction in your social or romantic life.

Challenges during this transit

• Relationship Friction: If you’re partnered, silly arguments can pop up out of nowhere- like disagreeing over spending money or feeling like you’re not on the same page emotionally.
• Awkward Social Energy: You might feel left out or just “not vibing” with your friends. Maybe you want to go out, but they’re staying in, or you just can’t seem to connect the way you usually do.
• Impulse Spending: There’s a real risk of buying stuff you don’t need because it seems like a quick fix for feeling off. Retail therapy isn’t going to satisfy you right now, and you might regret your purchases.
• Craving, But Not Enjoying: You could really want comfort food, attention, or affection, but even when you get it, it doesn’t make you feel better. It’s a weird “nothing is enough” mood.
• Jealousy or Insecurity: Old feelings of comparison or doubts about self-worth can flare up, especially when you see others appearing happier in love or with their lifestyle.

Opportunities during this transit

• Clarity on What You Actually Value: Because your usual pleasures aren’t cutting it, you might realize what really matters to you, and what was just habit or comfort.
• Chance for Relationship Growth: If drama pops up with someone close, it’s a good opportunity to talk things out and clear the air. These honest moments can make your bonds stronger once the storm blows over.
• Creative Experimenting: Your tastes are changing, so this is a great time to try a new hobby, music, art style, or even change your look. Shake things up!
• Learning to Say No: Since you may feel pulled in different directions, this is a good time to practice setting boundaries- whether it’s saying no to obligations or just walking away from drama.
• Resetting Habits: If you notice you’re chasing after pleasures that never quite satisfy, it’s the perfect moment to rethink those habits and look for new, healthier ways to feel good.
