Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Venus trine Sun transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t take your relationships for granted- just because things feel good doesn’t mean you should get lazy with loved ones.

- Try not to become overly self-indulgent- this vibe can make you want all the good things, but moderation is still key.

What’s interesting about this transit?
Venus trine your natal Sun is usually considered a happy, easy-breezy aspect in modern astrology, but digging into some older sources, you’ll find a few weird and fascinating tidbits:
- Some medieval astrologers believed that under this transit, your voice takes on a sweeter tone and people literally find your words more pleasant- like your speech becomes more melodic or enchanting.
- Ptolemy wrote that friendship requests or social invitations made now are more likely to create long-lasting bonds rather than brief connections- almost like Venus “seals” the promise.
- There’s a line in William Lilly’s works suggesting that this transit helps “medical matters taken to rest,” meaning things like getting a new mattress, starting a new sleep routine, or updating your bedding now brings noticeable physical benefits.
- Some Renaissance-era notes hint this transit is great for “softening enemies.” If you need to patch things up with someone who’s been difficult, this is the window you want.
- In occult traditions, this trine was thought to be powerful for beautifying rituals- anything done now to enhance appearance, from making new clothes to trying new perfumes, is said to “stick” and make a lasting nice impression.
Experiencing This Transit
When Venus is trine your natal Sun, life just feels a little bit sweeter. You might notice you’re more charming, people are friendlier, and things that usually feel like hard work seem to come naturally. It’s kind of like you’re everyone’s favorite person for a few days- you might get compliments, unexpected offers, or pleasant surprises. If you’ve been wanting to get closer to someone or ask for help, this is a golden window. Venus also rules love, beauty, and pleasure, so you could feel drawn to do things you enjoy, spend more time relaxing, or indulge a bit. It’s also a great time for anything creative or artistic.
Challenges during this transit
- Overindulgence: Because things feel easy, it’s tempting to overdo pleasure- eating too much good food, spending too much, or getting a little lazy with your routine.
- Ignoring red flags: When everyone’s being nice and life feels smooth, you might gloss over little issues or red flags in relationships or with money, thinking everything will just sort itself out.
- Complacency: This soft energy can sap your motivation to tackle tougher projects. It’s easy to procrastinate on things that require focus or energy.
- Taking things for granted: Because connections flow easily, you might miss how special some moments or people are, and only realize it later.
Opportunities during this transit
- Strengthening relationships: Reaching out to friends, old flames, or family now can spark deeper bonds or even smooth over old arguments almost effortlessly.
- Creative expression: If you’re into art, music, writing, or design, inspiration flows and your work just feels more “on.” Try starting a new project or showing off your skills now.
- Attracting good stuff: Whether it’s applying for a job, asking someone out, or just putting yourself out there, you’ll find it easier to attract positive attention and opportunities.
- Treating yourself: It’s a great time to buy that new outfit, get a haircut, or update your living space- chances are you’ll pick things that really suit you.
- Negotiating: If you need to work out a deal, make a sale, or reach a compromise, things just seem to go your way.
