When Venus moves out of exact exaltation which is at 27 degrees Pisces on Feb. 26th then it and moves into the Gandanta or emotional knot on Feb. 27-28th- and then and officially into Aries on the 28th. When this happens there is a sudden rude awakening as the expansive energy of Venus and the relationship harmony can suddenly disappear. Watch Thursday/Friday as Venus will be more emotional in the Gandata (Pisces 29.20-Aries 0.40) where deep emotional unraveling takes place. Venus does best in the Gandanta or emotional knotted area but it is always a rude awakening.
Venus in Aries will be out of Mars’s aspect and away from an aspect from Saturn. Still Venus in Aries can be over-sexed or argumentative. Still, Mars, the owner of Aries, is a bitter enemy of Venus and the darker side of Venus is Aries is felt where one can get intimate too quickly looking for the thrill of romance and being strongly sexed and attracted to lose or unreliable people. It can generate reproductive problems. As it moves away from the early degrees of Aries out of Ketu’s nakshatra of Ashwini (Aries 0-13.20) after March 11th, it does get better in Bharani Nakshatra (13.20-26.40) and develops a sense of fiery play and becomes seductive, fun to be with, playful, adventurous, spontaneous, and generous and a bit passionate and very creative.
Venus will first be in the constellation of Ashwini (Aries 0-13.20) Feb. 28-March 11th. Prash Trivedi reminds us that Ashwini is known in modern astronomy as Alpha-Ariettas and Beta-Ariettas near the bright star of Andromeda. The symbol for Ashwini is a horse’s head representing a dauntless spirit of adventure and a headstrong nature. This transit usually fosters self-starters and energy to complete projects. It is also a very healing constellation and so there will be more energy for healing. The ruling deities are the Ashwini twins who ride in a golden chariot and shower healing energy down to the earth plane. They are the “Physicians of the Gods.” This is a nakshatra of initiation, revitalization, and transformational healing. The ruling planet is Ketu (South Node of the Moon), which gives a mystical and mysterious bent to their life journey. Ketu;s energy is very spiritual being conjunct Jupiter in Sagittarius. The despositor of Aries, Mars will be in the constellation of Purva Ashadha, (Sagittarius 13.20-26.40) starting Feb. 27th which is owned by Venus. So for a while we will get an exchange of nakshtara energies. This transit can bring a lot of sexual passion in the second part of transit. At the same time, it can create a push pull toward austerity and celibacy if one is recovering from a broken relationship or regrets a hasty affair. In the end, slow down before jumping in and out of relationships or moving too quickly as thing may suddenly seem like they are moving too fast.
Venus will conjunct Uranus during this transit in Aries on March 8th . This conjunction can create unexpected events and excitement and the quest for new experiences through love and artistic expression. You might suddenly meet someone out of the blue who seems radically different and exciting. Enjoy the change and excitement for a few days. Venus/Uranus energy creates a lot of excitement and deep energy and usually is great for artistic adventure. Venus conjunct Uranus usually is positive for movement in the US stock market and can create a lot of movement contextual to what is happening.
So, the party is over for Venus who enjoyed a nice “staycation” in Pisces where the height of its relationship skills and artistic expression were able to come out.
Libra rising will have more of the sudden and quick relationship energy that we have discussed above with a 7th house transit of the ascendant lord. Taurus rising, owned by Venus can also have a lot of sexual energy but may experience more expenditures over the next month so watch your shopping addiction if romance gets too complicated and difficult over the next month. Geminis will benefit from more female friendships with an eleventh house transit and women’s groups. Scorpio and Virgo and Cancer rising, and moons could have the most difficult with this transit as they are 6th, 8th, and 10th from the ascendant.

The deepest purpose of astrology should allow us to see the Maya or illusion that runs through our mind and blocks us from seeing our own Divinity. Astrology should reveal our hidden patterns and not just affirm what we know about our self already. It is our hidden patterns and blind spots which get us into the most trouble and cause us the most suffering.
Barry’s spiritual and psychological approach to astrology seeks to cut the puppet strings of the planets that impact our emotions and psychology and bind us to self-blame, doubt and fear, and anger. This useful guide will help you navigate your life.
