To Win the Heart, Engage the Mind During The Year-Ending Venus in Aquarius Transit

Lead with your intellect! The mind is the fastest way to the heart during the year-ending Venus in Aquarius transit that begins December 7. Your horoscope for the love planet’s visit to the innovative zodiac sign.

Friendly fire? Love planet Venus spends the rest of 2024 in Aquarius, the sign of casual connections and unconventional relationships, beginning December 7, 2024.

The atmosphere isn’t exactly drenched in traditional romance when Venus visits this sign, but cheer up: there’s plenty of fun to be had!

For the second time in 2024, you can celebrate the universal love of friendship and community (Venus also visited this sign from February 16 to March 11). Cast your mind back to then for any clues for how this year-ending Venus in Aquarius transit might play out, or how you want to approach it differently this time.

Love gets experimental, what will you try?

When Venus visits unconventional Aquarius every year, love takes a turn for the experimental. Pop open the trunk of your imagination and let yourself explore.From bringing in a “guest star” to your boudoir to confessing to your kinks, the stage is set for exploration and negotiation. Drift as far from the standard playbook as you feel comfortable with (or not). Again, you don’t have to actually do any of the things you discuss. Talking about them might be spicy enough during a sapiosexual Venus in Aquarius transit.

Looking for love? Tap your social network. A mutual contact could play matchmaker. Online connections ignite with vixen Venus in this tech-savvy sign. Get back on the apps and let friends and coworkers set you up. For couples, this period can spark honest dialogue about the way you envision a happy union. Socialize as a couple and strengthen the foundation of friendship in your relationship. Don’t feel compelled to play by the rules if you’re yearning for something a bit (or a lot) outside the lines.

Create an environment where you can discuss your secrets freely. From an open relationship to living separately to pursuing adoption, no topic is taboo. Pro tip: Choose a safeword to go with all those S.A.T. words that you’re wooing with during the brainy Venus in Aquarius transit. Why? Randy planet Mars is co-piloting Venus, but Mars is retrograde in spotlight-loving Leo (December 6 to January 6) for the entire Venus in Aquarius transit. That’s double the motivation to think and love outside the box while also keeping a FEW emotional guardrails in place.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) Venus in Aquarius horoscope

Va-va-voom! Charismatic and romantic Venus wings her way into Aquarius and your first house of self and appearances from December 7 until January 2.

The love planet in your sign amps up your animal magnetism and, if you’re single, your flirting skills for the rest of 2024.

Make a budget for your overall glow-up. Money might have gotten a little funny over the past five months as illusory Neptune made a retrograde backspin through your financial sector. Some Water Bearers could simply have been mindless about saving and spending, doing far more of the latter than the former. Others may have TRIED to keep things in balance but got blindsided by an unexpected bill or expense.
