On October 17, 3:29 PM EST, Venus leaves Scorpio and enters Sagittarius, where she is going to remain until November 11. Just a few hours after the Aries Full Moon takes place, Venus’ shift of signs increases the Fire element’s activation and reflects a surge in our desire for authentic love, growth, and honesty.

Venus’s transit through Sagittarius is especially relevant for those of us born with planets or angles in Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) as well as for the individuals with natal placements in Libra and Taurus, the signs ruled by Venus. The individuals personally impacted by Venus’ shift of signs will come across new opportunities for growth through their relationships and will be invited to embody a new level of authenticity and honesty with both themselves and others.

Venus from Scorpio to Sagittarius: Spontaneity, Faith, and Gratitude

Named after the Goddess of Love, Venus in Astrology correlates to how we relate to both ourselves and others, our relationship with our physical bodies and sensuality, and the way we create and perceive wealth and abundance. Venus also governs our values, how we attract what we desire, and what we find beautiful, pleasurable, and comfortable. Transits of Venus inform us of shifts in our values, aesthetic and artistic taste, relating style, and financial habits.

Venus in Scorpio encouraged us to explore what is going on beneath the surface of our relationships and choose depth rather than stay safe on the surface. This transit challenged us to face fears and wounds connected to betrayal, manipulation, and abuse of power, encouraged us to feel the full spectrum of our emotions, and reminded us that love and loss are inherently connected.

Venus’ ingress into Sagittarius brings a more lighthearted and spontaneous vibe: after journeying through Scorpio’s depths, we emerge from the dark and move toward the light. This transit inspires us to approach relationships with a renewed sense of faith and optimism and supports our ability to appreciate the present moment, to be grateful for what we have and for the people we have in our lives.

Venus in Sagittarius: Authentic Love

Sagittarius is the seeker of the Zodiac, on an eternal quest for truth and meaning: honesty, transparency, and authenticity, become paramount in this search, and Venus in Sagittarius underlines the value of these virtues within relationships. This transit highlights the power of personal freedom and reminds us of the importance of creating and cultivating connections that support our freedom and inspire us to express ourselves as we are.

This combination of energies encourages us to recognize relationships as catalysts for personal growth and expansion and motivates us to pursue connections that feel meaningful and inspiring. In the sign of the Centaur, Venus also reminds us of the value and the power of humor, of being able to laugh at ourselves, of not taking ourselves and life too seriously all of the time.

While Venus is in Sagittarius, we tend to gravitate toward individuals who have something to teach us, who we can learn from, and who are willing to learn and grow together. This transit can bring the spotlight to our relationships with teachers and mentors, with our life philosophy and system of beliefs, and with our quest for meaning, truth, and purpose.

Venus in aspect to Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune

On October 28, Venus in Sagittarius squares retrograde Saturn in Pisces. This alignment brings our attention to issues of self-worth, self-love, and self-value: it invites us to observe what our choices say about how we value ourselves. The Venus-Saturn square will highlight our relationship to scarcity and lack and offer us a chance to recognize patterns that keep emerging in both our relationships and our financial lives.

Venus in Sagittarius opposes retrograde Jupiter in Gemini on November 3. The Venus-Jupiter opposition is an opportunity to gain awareness of tendencies to overindulge, be excessively generous, and expand beyond our means and possibilities. This aspect encourages us to examine our spending habits, not just financially, but also in terms of time and energy, and ensure that our generosity is genuine and not driven by ulterior motives.

On November 9, Venus squares retrograde Neptune in Pisces. The Venus-Neptune square will emphasize the risks of excessive idealism and of looking at life and people through rose-colored glasses. This aspect suggests a tendency to overlook red flags, overstep our boundaries, and romanticize situations and people without seeing them clearly. Around this time, it is important to make sure we are staying grounded in reality.

Venus enters Sagittarius: Freedom and Connection

In the sign of the Centaur, Venus inspires us to introduce more adventure in our relationships and explore how freedom and connection can coexist and enrich one another. This transit reminds us that love thrives when we are authentic and we allow room for individual self-discovery, avoiding rigid expectations, rules, or routines.

Venus in Sagittarius highlights the value and the beauty of spontaneity, of being ourselves, and sharing ourselves honestly, from where we are at, without pretenses. This combination of energies motivates us to expand our horizons and explore new territories in both our romantic lives and financial endeavors. Throughout the upcoming weeks, this transit will encourage us to walk through life with an open mind and open heart and approach relationships as opportunities to grow and learn together.
