Transits to Your Natal Venus

What Your Natal Venus Represents

Your natal Venus represents your relationship with love, beauty, pleasure and values. It governs what you find attractive, how you express affection, what you consider beautiful, and the personal value system that guides your choices about relationships, money and aesthetics.

When planets transit your Venus, these themes are activated. Love becomes more prominent. Questions of beauty and taste come into focus. Your relationship with pleasure - what you enjoy, what you desire, what you feel you deserve - enters a period of attention that can range from a pleasant afternoon (inner planet transit) to a multi-year transformation of your entire value system (outer planet transit).

How Transits Affect Your Venus

Transits to your natal Venus activate your love life, your aesthetic sensibilities, your financial relationship with value, and your core beliefs about what you deserve. Outer planet transits to Venus can permanently change how you love, what you value, and what you consider beautiful. Inner planet transits create the daily romantic, social and aesthetic weather.

Venus and the Cycle of Attraction

Venus governs not just who you are attracted to but the pattern of attraction itself - the cycle of desire, pursuit, attainment and sometimes loss that repeats throughout your relational life. Transits to Venus can interrupt, accelerate or transform this cycle.

Saturn transiting Venus, for example, often coincides with a period where the pattern of attraction matures - where you become attracted to different qualities than before, or where the basis of your relationships shifts from chemistry to compatibility. Pluto transiting Venus can transform the cycle so completely that the person you were attracted to before the transit may be nothing like the person you are attracted to after it.
