What does the Venus in Capricorn transit mean?
When passionate Venus swings into structured Capricorn, look at relationships as the investments that they are—of your time, energy and heart. Are they paying dividends…or do you need to cash out? Or, have you not been making enough deposits in the old, emotional bank account? Love “invoices” come due during the Venus in Capricorn transit.
Capricorn is the zodiac’s master planner and over the next few weeks of the Venus in Capricorn transit, we could all benefit from pulling back and taking a cooler, more dispassionate view of amour. There’s a time to be swept away, but this ain’t it. In the sign of the Sea Goat, Venus helps us get our hooves on solid ground before we sail off into the sunset.
After weeks of living and loving out loud while Venus journeyed through Sagittarius, the Venus in Capricorn transit can make us all a lot more reserved. Wild PDA may be off the menu, but the “horny goat” can certainly spice things up behind closed doors.
Pro tip: While Venus in Sagittarius likes to get down n’ dirty, Venus in Capricorn has longevity and stamina. Add an extra hour (or two) of slow jams to that playlist! (Try ours below, created for this transit by Team AstroStyle’s Jennifer Newman, AKA Astralselector)
How does the Venus in Capricorn transit affect me?
Couples can align around your shared future, discussing your 2023 dreams by the fireplace.
If you’re single and looking, search for someone who is ready for meaningful co-creation, like now. Matters of the heart will get serious…but they don’t have to be as serious as a heart attack!
Playful, seductive Venus likes to keep the mood light. Defining nebulous situationships could be a fun game of “You show me your bucket list, I’ll show you mine!” Or, if you’re the type who doesn’t even think about bucket lists, well, maybe it’s time to write one.
With driven Capricorn ruling romance for the next few weeks, couples could achieve something memorable—and profitable—as a pair. No apologies for being attracted to status now. If you’re looking to “date up,” ‘tis the season for strategic mistletoe placement.
When Venus visits an earth sign
A Venus in Capricorn transit highlights this zodiac sign’s element, earth. These are the stable, provider signs, so don’t be surprised if pillow talk gets practical.
These transits come around while Venus is in Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn for approximately four weeks each year.
While they might not be the most adventurous spells, they are times when we can rest in the heart-opening security of knowing that there’s someone who wants to care for us, create long-lasting security with us…and maybe build a legacy together, like a family or another venture.
