Venus in Capricorn 2024: Building Foundations

Venus from Sagittarius to Capricorn: Slowing Down

Named after the Goddess of Love and Beauty, Venus in Astrology has a dual nature as she rules both Taurus and Libra. Her rulership over Taurus reflects Venus’ connection to our relationship with ourselves, our inner magnetism, our ability to attract what we desire, and our capacity to attune to abundance and receive what Life provides us. Venus’ rulership over Libra has to do with Venus’ associations with our relationships with other people and our desire to be surrounded by beauty, harmony, and peace.

During Venus’ transit through Sagittarius, we had opportunities to recognize the role of relationships as catalysts for growth and we were invited to embrace radical authenticity in all our interactions with others. Venus in Sagittarius encouraged us to value learning and gravitate toward people who inspire and uplift us.

Venus’ ingress into Capricorn marks an energetic shift that motivates us to slow down and place a higher value on reliability, commitment, and integrity. As an Earth sign, Capricorn invites us to focus on building stability and preparing for the future. We get more serious during this transit, which invites a practical, grounded, and thoughtful approach to both romantic and financial matters. While Venus is in Capricorn, we are drawn to take things more cautiously and pursue what has long-term potential.

Venus enters Capricorn: Exploring our Relationship with Authority and Responsibility

While Venus is in Capricorn, we have an opportunity to examine our relationship to commitment, responsibility, and consistency. This transit brings our attention to our maturation journey, particularly in the areas of relationships and finances. Venus’s journey through Capricorn highlights the value of personal responsibility and provides us with an opportunity to recognize areas of our lives where we may need to further mature, particularly if we want to build long-term fulfilling relationships or create more financial security.

This transit is an opportunity to reflect on our relationship with the energy of authority, which includes both external authorities and our inner sense of authority, and notice repetitive patterns and dynamics that may point to unresolved issues from our past.

Venus in Capricorn inspires us to turn inward and self-reflect, to spend more time with ourselves, and to analyze how our past experiences have shaped our attitude toward relationships, how we protect ourselves, and what we fear. It is an interesting time to reflect on times when we might have felt wrongly judged or when our vulnerability was used against us, and examine how we reacted to those experiences.

Venus in aspect to Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Chiron, and the Lunar Nodes

During her journey through Capricorn, Venus is going to form sextiles with Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, trine Uranus in Taurus, and square both Chiron in Aries and the Lunar Nodes in Aries and Libra.

On November 16, Venus squares the Lunar Nodes, marking a karmic turning point for many relationships. This configuration is offering us opportunities to acknowledge and tend to unresolved past pain and relational traumas that still impact us and need to be addressed before we can progress. 

Venus forms a sextile to Saturn in Pisces on November 22. This aspect supports our desire to build connections based on mutual trust and respect, consolidate existing relationships, and focus on financial planning.

Venus squares Chiron in Aries on November 28, offering us an invitation to tend to unhealed wounds that impact our experience of relationships, our ability to love and value ourselves, and our capacity to receive love from others. On December 2, Venus trines Uranus in Taurus, supporting our flexibility and openness to change and increasing our desire for unusual and unconventional experiences.

Venus sextiles Neptune in Pisces on December 4. This aspect inspires creative expression and increases our need to be surrounded by beauty and romance while fueling our longing to connect with something greater than ourselves through spiritual and artistic practices.

Venus in Capricorn: Building Foundations

Venus’ transit through Capricorn is a time to build stronger foundations and solidify relationships and projects that we aspire to keep cultivating and nurturing for the long haul: whether we are building a relationship, a business, or focusing on a creative endeavor, this is a wonderful time to commit to investing into it. This transit reminds us of the power of delayed gratification and consistent effort and motivates us to put energy into what we value and hold dear.

In Capricorn, Venus offers us an opportunity to gain new insights into the nature of past conditioning and better understand how we were programmed during our childhood and early life, particularly when it comes to our attitude toward love, beauty, art, relationships, and financial matters. This transit is an opportunity to become aware of and break free from unconscious scarcity patterns that may be running in the back of our minds and keeping us trapped in cycles of lack, limitation, and undernourishment.
