Okay, so today I decided to really dive into this whole “transit Venus square Saturn” thing. I’d been hearing about it, you know, like whispers in the astrology community, and I felt this… resistance, I guess? So I figured, let’s tackle this head-on.
I started by, well, looking at my own chart. I pulled up my birth chart and then added the current transits. I use this old, kinda clunky software, but it gets the job done. There it was: Venus in the sky was indeed making a harsh 90-degree angle to my natal Saturn. Oof.
Then, I dug into some basic interpretations. You know, the usual stuff you find online. Venus is all about love, relationships, money, beauty, and Saturn… well, Saturn is like the strict dad of the zodiac. It’s about restrictions, limitations, responsibilities, and sometimes, just plain old feeling down.
My Personal Experience
- Checked my own relationships: I started thinking about my friendships, my romantic life (or lack thereof lately!), and even my relationship with my family. Was I feeling restricted? Blocked? Was I maybe being too hard on myself or others?
- Examined my finances: Ugh, Saturn. I looked at my spending habits, my savings (or lack thereof, again!). Was I being responsible? Was I feeling insecure about my financial situation? The answer to that last one was a definite “yes”.
- Looked in the mirror, literally: Venus also rules beauty, so I paid attention to how I was feeling about my appearance. Was I being overly critical? Was I neglecting self-care? Let’s just say I haven’t exactly been rocking the “glowing goddess” look lately.
I spent hours, doing some journaling. Wrote down all the feelings that came up. The frustration, the self-doubt, the longing for connection, the worry about money… it was a lot. I tried to connect each feeling to either Venus (what I desired) or Saturn (what was blocking me or making me feel insecure).
Identified My patterns, I start to see some of my bad habits, that I need to be patient.
Finally, I decided to do a little ritual. Nothing fancy, just lit a candle, played some calming music, and meditated on what I wanted to release. I visualized letting go of the negativity and the blockages, and inviting in more self-love, abundance, and healthy connections. I also made a commitment to be more disciplined with my finances, starting with making a budget.
It’s still early days, of course. These transits last a while. But I feel like I’ve at least started the process of working with the energy, instead of just feeling like a victim of it. It’s a reminder that even the tough transits can be opportunities for growth, if you’re willing to do the work.
