Venus, in transit, takes over
one year to complete its cycle around the Sun. It takes approximately 18
months from one retrograde period to the next and its retrograde cycle is
approximately 40 days in length.
Many individuals have Venus
conjunct the Sun in their birth chart as Venus is never more than 48 degrees
away from the Sun.
Venus is a feminine planetary
influence and is linked to the sense of touch, material things and love.
It’s energies reflect kindness and politeness and adds a flair for wanting to
be around beautiful things.
When Venus is direct in its
motion, its energies want to manifest harmony, peace, beauty and love.
When it is retrograde, its energies are the reverse, often taking on energies
similar to that of Mars. During this retrograde influence, we can becomes
more aggressive and the drive may still be towards gaining material abundance
although when it is attached to business activities, its influence often slows
things down or even moves things into reverse for a while (again under the
retrograde influence).
Check your chart to see if
Venus is in retrograde or direct motion. This will define how the
energies will be released when activated by transits and progressions.
Venus conjunction the Sun will
only have a lasting influence of about 10 days unless it moves into
retrograde. If this is the case, it can last much longer. Much will
depend on the energies of other planetary influences during the same period
that Venus is aspecting your Sun. This Astrologer only uses the transits
of outer planets to natal Venus as the energies are often far too short to make
any significant changes to our life (when using the energies of the inner
planets). However, Venus’ cycle will still have an impact on what takes
place in our life but its influence will be quite short lived.
You will find that the
feelings of affection are increased and your sensitivities are also enhanced
during this aspect. You may want more social time with others and you
will express yourself in a comfortable manner. Venus and the Sun usually
go together very well and unless there are other mitigating factors making
challenging angles to this conjunction, it generally is quite favourable.
You may feel inclined to go out and enjoy yourself, and to look after your own
needs. You may find relaxation in all that you enjoy and the challenging
conditions in life may be swept away at least for a while.
Sometimes with this aspect,
you will need to make things happen. Other times, things just seem to
flow your way. Sitting back and waiting for life, however, is never a
good idea. Take life under your wing and have some fun.
You may run into someone that
adds meaning to your life under this influence. This applies to both
women and men, but Venus usually indicates the feminine gender. Women, in
general, may be lots of fun to be with now. This aspect affects both men
and women although the women seem to enjoy these energies a little more than
men.
Venus is also about creativity
and artistic abilities. You may find that pursuing anything that push these
abilities may work in your favour. The energies flow well into these
areas and you may find that you enjoy this part of your life more under this
influence.
Starting a new project might
be a good idea and make sure that you surround yourself with visual complements
that help you settle into things. Beauty is important and you can create
wonderful things during this short stay with the conjunction between Venus and
the Sun.
