What’s Interesting About This Transit
- According to Raphael’s Manual of Astrology (London, 1889), Venus in harmonious aspect to Uranus was said to bring “peculiar friendships and alliances, oft with those of differing station or outlook,” suggesting people might kindle bonds with unexpected individuals or those from distant lands.
- In Alan Leo’s Astrology for All (1903), referencing prior traditions, the trine of Venus and Uranus is believed to “induce caprice in affection- sudden sympathies and antipathies that alter one’s attachment for brief but memorable periods.” So, you might suddenly be swept up in a crush or platonic admiration that vanishes as quickly as it comes.
- Sepharial’s Manual of Astrology (1898) observes that Venus trine Uranus can suggest “singular tastes in art and dress”- people under this influence might experiment with unique clothing styles or develop a liking for rare musical instruments or visual arts.
- The astrologer Zadkiel, in The Hand-Book of Astrology (1861), writes that Venus trine Uranus “giveth aptness for delight in electrical amusements and mechanick contrivances,” meaning you could suddenly get interested in gadgets, early photography, or devices that were new at the time- translating to an original curiosity for the latest tech today.
- According to The Astrologer’s Guide by William Lilly and Zadkiel (1867 edition), this transit “expedites ellopements or clandestine meetings,” so there’s a theme of secret or spontaneous romantic adventures, maybe sneaking out to do something unusual with someone.
- In Sibly’s New and Complete Illustration of the Celestial Science of Astrology (reprint, 1862), it’s noted that Venus trine Uranus “inspireth the Muses and giveth visions, sometimes dreams of future acquaintances or sudden occasion for mirth within a company,” meaning you could get some wild creative ideas or even precognitive dreams about meeting new, quirky people.
- Richard Morrison (Zadkiel), in his rare 1852 treatise Recreations in Astrology, claims that under Venus trine Uranus, “women of the native’s acquaintance may attempt odd inventions, or present curious gifts, the meaning of which becometh apparent much later.” So, keep an eye out for gifts or symbols that only make sense with time.
- From Astrology: Its Techniques and Ethics by Charubel (1898), the aspect is said to “openeth a portal to non-earthly harmony and signals mediumistic receptivity through music or scent.” This could hint at moments when people feel especially tuned in to spiritual energies, maybe while listening to music or catching an unusual fragrance.
Experiencing This Transit
When Venus forms a trine with your natal Uranus, things get interesting. Venus deals with love, pleasure, art, and good vibes, while Uranus is all about surprises, change, and original thinking. This trine is a friendly aspect, so overall, it tends to make the energy a bit electric but still pleasant.
You might notice that life feels less predictable in these areas- but in a good way. Maybe you bump into someone new who becomes a friend or crush, or you have a weird but awesome idea for decorating your space. There’s a feeling of excitement, lightness, and- honestly- a little bit of restlessness.
Relationships (romantic, platonic, or artistic) can become a lot more playful and spontaneous. You might find you’re attracted to people who are really different from your usual “type,” or you might want to try something new in your music, art, or whatever you do for fun. Even spending time alone could feel liberating, as if you’re discovering whole new sides of yourself. Things that used to bore you may suddenly feel worth shaking up.
Challenges during this transit
- You might get bored easily with the same old routine. There’s a chance you’ll want to break up your schedule, which could make you flake on plans or commitments. For example, you might bail on a regular meetup just because you’re itching to do something totally different.
- In close relationships, all this excitement might make you less patient or more restless. If you’re already in a partnership, you may feel trapped or start looking for fresh stimulation elsewhere- even if you don’t really want to blow things up.
- Sometimes, the urge for novelty can make you jump too quickly into something new (a relationship, an investment, a wacky idea) before you’ve thought it through. Basically: shiny-object syndrome is real right now.
- Strange or surprising ideas might come so fast you can’t catch them all, which can feel overwhelming or make you frustrated if you can’t act on everything at once.
Opportunities during this transit
- This is an awesome time to meet new people, especially folks who are different from your usual crowd. You might click instantly, or just have a super fun and memorable conversation.
- If you’re in a creative rut, expect to get a bunch of unusual and genius ideas. You’ve got a spark for reinventing your style, your art, or the spaces you live in. Deciding to dye your hair or rearrange your room on a whim could end up being a great decision right now.
- Trying something you wouldn’t normally do- like tasting a food you’ve never heard of, signing up for a class that sounds weird, or just approaching a problem in a new way- can lead to breakthroughs.
- This transit is awesome for practicing openness in relationships. It’s easier to talk honestly about what you want and need, and folks around you are more likely to accept your quirks or new ideas.
- Random, lucky breaks in money or small windfalls are possible, often in surprising ways- like finding cash in your jeans, scoring a great deal, or finally selling something you thought no one wanted.
