🌙 Begin your journey into 2026 with clarity and confidence
Each sign experiences this energy differently. Here is how Venus colors your daily life.
♈ Aries
Your mind is sharp and clear: you quickly settle what was dragging on and make excellent decisions. In love, speak the truth but gently – a surprise or an unexpected meeting could well brighten your daily life. 💫
♉ Taurus
Ideal period to soothe a tense exchange and put your priorities back in order. On the heart side as well as the financial side, move forward cautiously but surely: sincere dialogue is what will bring you luck. 🍀
♊ Gemini
You find practical solutions where others get lost, and transform daily life into a real field of ideas. In love, your quick wit charms irresistibly – a spontaneous exchange could well open a door you didn't expect. 💬
♋ Cancer
Your emotions finally clarify: dare to say what you really feel, it will unblock a situation that was stagnating. At work and on the financial side, ask the right questions but avoid any haste. 🌊
♌ Leo
Beautiful energy to structure your projects, organize your daily life, and move forward with your usual panache. In love, dare a very simple attention: your natural warmth hits the mark for sure. ☀️
♍ Virgo
You are at the top: lucidity, attention to detail, and efficiency are there. In love, let go of perfectionism a little – it's your authenticity, not your perfection, that brings hearts closer. 🌿
♎ Libra
You find the right words and play the mediator brilliantly. Romantic exchanges are fluid and pleasant, but keep a watchful eye on "impulse buy" purchases that could make you regret. 💕
♏ Scorpio
Your intuition combines with formidable pragmatism: perfect for deciding and sorting the essential from the superfluous. In love, depth is favored – open up without trying to control everything for once. 🔮
♐ Sagittarius
Your curiosity is bubbling: learn, explore, but set yourself a clear goal to avoid scattering. On the financial side, caution on impulsive desires – prioritize the useful over the spectacular. 🏹
♑ Capricorn
Productive day par excellence: structure, planning, and recognition are on the program. On the heart side, talk about the future simply and directly – your sincerity reassures and brings closer. 🏔️
♒ Aquarius
It's the right timing to find an intelligent compromise without ever denying your precious freedom. In love, be fully yourself: a meeting via your network or a collective activity is particularly favored. ✨
♓ Pisces
Your sensitivity becomes a real asset: you pick up the right signals and naturally soothe those around you. Only one watchword for balance: help others, yes, but protect your energy and your boundaries. 🌙
| Planetary transits do not CREATE your life, they REVEAL opportunities. Venus in Aquarius offers you a magnificent window to: get out of stifling relationship patterns, meet inspiring people, laugh more, or rediscover the simple joy of loving. But it is YOU who decides to seize this opportunity or stay on the sidelines. If you wish to deepen your romantic, relational, or creative potential during this transit, I would be delighted to decode your sky map with you for $1.99 and accompany you in this beautiful period of harmonization. - Susan Taylor |
This so-called "fast" planet represents love in our birth chart, our way of loving according to our sign, our love life, our emotional bonds, our conception of love, pleasure.
💞 For example, a Venus in the zodiac sign of Libra will seek well-being above all, serene relationships, whereas Venus in Scorpio will feel love and vibrate more in difficulties, forbidden things, sometimes even drama, but these two Venuses will both be very sensual. There are also more cerebral Venuses, all in restraint: Venus in Virgo or in the sign of Capricorn.
Furthermore, Venus represents artistic activities, the care one brings to oneself. For male natives, Venus can represent the "lover" woman, that is to say, the type of woman who attracts him sexually, who makes him fantasize.
A planet can exert a positive or negative influence depending on its position or the aspects it may form with other planets.
You will have understood, the position of Venus in a natal chart is very important; it is what is called your "Venusian sign".
Once your prey is spotted, you don't take your eyes off it. We find here the characteristics of Aries: bold, direct, and frank. Even if your romantic journey may have been strewn with pitfalls, you regret nothing. Be careful to control your impatience and learn to love in a less exclusive way to avoid scaring your partner!
It is very early that you go in search of your soulmate, that ideal being who will deserve your love, pure and sincere. Only hitch, to win your heart, they will have to pass your tests, show themselves worthy of trust and capable of sharing your feelings. The path to travel is not always simple, far from it, because your possessive nature can frighten some, but it is worth the effort.
For the simple purpose of verifying that your charm still works, you cannot help but seduce... Which earns you many reproaches from your better half. Fortunately, you know how to reassure them and manage to be forgiven every time. Deep down, we know that your need to be loved is immense!
Characterized by your gentleness and sensitivity, Venus provides you with all the necessary qualities to protect your offspring and cherish your partner. Living in your cocoon with your family allows you to distance yourself from the world and its superficial side. A long love life, full of romance, is all you wish for yourself!
Once you have someone in your sights, you don't let go. But your involvement fortunately does not make you blind. There is no question of anyone having fun lying to you, unless triggering World War III is what they wish. Your demands seem enormous, but they are in fact commensurate with everything you implement to fulfill your better half.
On the heart side, you think that reason must prevail, although you secretly dream of living a great passion. No need to pull out all the stops, because you insist on analyzing the behavior and intelligence of your suitor before starting a story. Even if your feelings seem restrained, they are in reality very intense. Once committed, you give the best of yourself to avoid the worst.
In your home reigns a harmonious atmosphere of which only you have the secret. But when other women have the misfortune to set foot on your territory, you bring out your claws. Venus in this sign has not spared you jealousy, and you fear that others represent a danger to your relationship. Once calm returns, you like to please your better half, and you are always ready to take care of your appearance to seduce them.
From love to hate, there is only one step, and you cross it as soon as you feel betrayed. On the other hand, when the magic happens, your union becomes exceptional, passion makes you live wonderful moments. You sublimate your better half and do not hesitate to devote all your time to them.
Optimistic, cheerful, and generous are words that characterize you very well, even if, like everyone else, you also have faults. Like that of giving the impression of always being on the verge of leaving. One thing is certain, by your side life is full of surprises and one never gets bored.
You do everything not to betray your feelings. Your rather cold attitude forces your suitors to redouble their efforts to win your heart and your trust. Life with you appears as a real challenge, because you take time to stop being wary of your partner. But once this step is crossed, you two are solid.
Your originality and your rebellious side leave no one indifferent; on the other hand, advocating freedom too much is not to your advantage. It's up to you to find the right balance, to unearth the ideal adventure partner, the one with whom you won't see time pass, and the one you won't be able to get tired of.
You seem shy at first, but in reality, you sometimes preserve yourself for fear of failure. Capable of devoting unconditional love to the chosen one of your heart, you could follow them to the ends of the earth. A great romantic, your ideal relationship resembles the one seen in movies. You have no particular criteria, the only quality of your better half is knowing how to make you dream.

More globally, you put affection into all your relationships and you position yourself according to your sympathies or antipathies.

Consequently, you might often question your relationships. Unless fate plays tricks on you and imposes many experiences, sometimes difficulties, before finding emotional stability. Sexuality can take a lot of importance in your life, whether lived or fantasized. The sign and aspects (positive or negative) that Venus receives in the natal chart are particularly important here.
You are attracted by travel, different cultures, and foreign languages. Moreover, this Venusian position in house 9 indicates that you could find love with a person of foreign origin or someone who has another culture or another religion than you. It can also be a person of your nationality but whom you will meet abroad, during a trip, a displacement. It can also be an individual of another social class. You have high ideals. You dream of peace between nations, understanding between beings, humanism. You can blossom and go far in artistic studies.
Venus radiates on your natal chart, in your socio-professional sector, in house 10, the career sector. You certainly give off a warm, even seductive image. At work, you avoid conflicts and you are particularly gifted for mediation, diplomacy. You need to maintain pleasant relationships with your colleagues, your collaborators; you are very sensitive to it. For that, you are capable of efforts, concessions. You can blossom in an artistic career or a profession related to aesthetics. In other professions, you risk being a little too dependent on others throughout your journey.

With Venus in house 11, you are not very selective in your acquaintances and friendships because you like to remain open to everyone. Friendship has a lot of importance for you. You invest yourself, you devote yourself to your friends, your acquaintances. This Venusian position can inform in the native a weak boundary between love and friendship.

Depending on the sign and aspects Venus receives, this position indicates that it is not easy for you to love: either you tend to renounce love, to distance yourself from your feelings and your emotional life for fear of suffering, or you sublimate love, you idealize it so much that you can never reach this ideal... All this can of course evolve during your existence... This position can give a real spiritual, mystical vocation.
