Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t ignore your real feelings just to keep conversations light and pleasant.
• Try not to make promises you can’t keep, even if you’re feeling extra agreeable.
• Avoid glossing over important details in contracts or agreements- double check the fine print.
• Don’t gossip or spread rumors, even if the talk is entertaining.
• Skip conversations just for the sake of flirting if you’re not interested- don’t lead people on.
• Don’t be afraid to say “no” if you’re feeling pressured by friends or dates.
• Avoid spending too much time chatting or socializing when you’ve got deadlines or important work to do.
• Try not to be too superficial or avoid deeper topics just to keep things comfortable.
• Don’t make big purchases on a whim, especially if someone talks you into it with sweet words.
• Avoid using charm or flattery to get your way- honesty still matters.

Do During This Transit

• Have important conversations – it’s way easier to express yourself and be understood now.
• Write letters, emails, or even creative stories or poems- your words flow smoothly and sound great.
• Go on a date or spend time with friends- charming energy helps you connect and enjoy each other’s company.
• Negotiate deals or ask for favors- people are more likely to say yes when Venus and Mercury are working together.
• Make peace with someone- this transit is perfect for smoothing over misunderstandings.
• Start a new social media project or update your profiles- your vibe is super likable now.
• Shop for pretty stationery or new books- enjoy mixing beauty and communication.
• Learn something new, especially in art, music, or languages- Venus makes it more enjoyable than usual.
• Plan a fun outing, like going to a museum, café, or concert- good times are easier to come by now.

What’s interesting about this transit?

• In some old Renaissance astrology manuals, Venus trine Mercury was said to give “sweetness of tongue” and even literally improve the taste of food during the transit. Some claimed what came out of your mouth would actually be more appealing, whether it was words or flavors!
• Ancient Persian astrology sometimes linked this aspect to favorable pacts between merchants, suggesting that people born under or experiencing this transit could broker peace between feuding groups or act as successful intermediaries.
• In medieval astrology texts, this trine was sometimes called “The Truce of Lovers,” and it was said to be the best time for resolving disputes between partners, friends, or even artistic collaborators- like writers and muses making up after an argument.
• Some old texts believed that artists and calligraphers would produce their finest, most eloquent work during a Venus-Mercury trine. If you’re into crafts or creative writing, this is the kind of moment ancient astrologers urged you to seize.
• In obscure Vedic traditions, this transit was thought to enhance the art of storytelling- especially stories told with gestures or facial expressions as much as with words. It was considered a wonderful time for performances, especially those involving humor or wit.

Experiencing This Transit

When Venus forms a trine to your natal Mercury, you’ve got this easy, charming flow between what you’re thinking and how you want to say it. It’s like suddenly, everything you try to get across is just a little bit smoother, sweeter, and more likely to land the way you intend. People find you more approachable and they actually want to listen to you.

You might also notice you’re a bit more curious about beauty, art, or even just making your environment look nicer. Conversations might flow into areas of style, food, or music. If you’ve struggled to let someone know how you feel, you might unexpectedly find just the right words. The vibe is lighter, with more laughter and flirting- whether that’s romantic or just playful banter.

Challenges during this transit

• You might be tempted to “sugarcoat” what you really mean, not wanting to hurt anyone’s feelings. That can make it harder to say the tough stuff, even when you kind of need to.
• It’s easy to get distracted by small talk, compliments, or pretty words and miss deeper issues that are under the surface. Meaning, you might avoid deeper, more intense conversations because things feel so nice on the surface.
• If you’re someone who tends to flirt or tease, you could unintentionally send mixed messages or blur boundaries, especially in group chats or with coworkers. Not everyone will read your light-hearted tone the same way.

Opportunities during this transit

• This is an awesome moment for honest, heartfelt conversations that don’t have to feel heavy or awkward. If you need to patch things up with a friend or send that “just checking in” text, go for it.
• Artistic or creative projects- especially those involving words, writing, music, or even decorating- are likely to flow more naturally right now. If you’re thinking about writing a poem, trying a new recipe, or re-arranging your room, trust your eye and your instinct.
• Your social skills are at their best, so it’s a good time to ask for favors, make new friends, or pitch your ideas. Interviews or meetings are less stressful because you’re tuned in to what others want to hear (and how to say it kindly).
• Romantic expressions- like love letters, DMs, or even little compliments- feel easy and genuine. You might see a spark in a conversation that was just friendly before.
