VENUS IN AQUARIUSÂ Dec. 28-Jan. 27th.
Venus goes into Aquarius on Dec. 28th  and it is a fairly unafflicted transit except for the conjunction with Saturn on Jan. 19th and the sneaky 8th house aspect of Mars on Jan. 3rd.  For Taurus Rising it is a 10th house transit supporting career and for Libra Rising a 5th house transit of the ascendant lord supporting romance and the arts.
Aquarius is the second most difficult sign to have anywhere prominent in one’s chart, as it is ruled by the Shakti of suffering Saturn and obsessiveRahu– the seat of desire. The dispositor,  Rahu,  is in Pisces until May 2025.
Venus in Aquarius may lend innovation to your ideas, which will be sure to be full and overflowing! If you were born with an unafflicted Venus in Aquarius, then you are friendly charming fun-loving, logical, enjoy learning, popular, and good in relationship with others. Aquarius is a sign of group so Venus in Aquarius will promote social and political groups and activities. It is a humanitarian sign so it champions Liberals and will continue to highlight the immigration crisis and it may may lead to conflict. In the constellation of Satabhisha (Aquarius 6.40-20.00) biotech is supported. Â
Aquarius is a vata or air sign, so the earthy solidity of Capricorn will be dislodged. The good news is that Venus will be exalted in Pisces Jan 27-May 31st and this will be a sweet time for romance and relationships in general it will complicated this year around April 1-3 when Venus is conjunct Rahu, Neptune and Saturn and Venus is retrograde for a while creating relationship revaluations and dramas.
For Libra rising, the transit through Aquarius this is a 5th house transit and can bring deep love with your children, a new romance, or deep spiritual initiations and success in the theater. Aries rising will benefit from income and Scorpio rising may have expenditures around the home and vehicles and more domestic quarrels. Pisces rising may have passionate sexual experiences while Cancer rising may have big problems with deep karmic issues from the past. Aquarius rising will feel a bit lighter for having the transit of a good friend visiting and creating deeper connections and may increase the desire for new and unconventional clothes. Geminis will have deep spiritual experiences or go on luxury trips to foreign lands and Virgos will have to watch illnesses related to the reproductive area, kidneys bladder, or pancreas. Again, all of this is very individual to the larger cycles that you are running so consult a professional astrologer.  Transits are always secondary to Dashas and this transit will impact you most if you are in a Venus period or have key natal planets in Aquarius.
VENUS CONJUNCT SATURN: 21.54 Degrees Aquarius Jan. 19th
Venus moves toward conjunction with Saturn on Jan. 19thand while the two planets are friends, Saturn benefits more, and Capricorn and Aquarius rising will enjoy the energy more and lighten Saturn’s heaviness responsibility, and hard work. Venus-ruled signs like Libra and Taurus may feel some heaviness, depression emotional dryness, and detachment and will need meditation and a good massage to get through it.
Mars throws an 8th house aspect onto Venus on Jan. 3rd so this will continue passion/anger/relationship control issues.  Not a good time to try controlling your spouse or force them in any way.  Do not use guilt or jealousy to control your partner or it may blow up in your face. This transit could bring an infatuation with a new partner into your life particularly if you are Aquarius or Leo rising but it may be fantasy and based on unconscious drives that have no basis in reality.
