Horoscopes for Venus in Taurus, 2025

If you’ve been going your own way, making a scene, and turning heads like it’s no big deal, it’s time to pivot to a calmer, smoother lane. From June 5th to July 4th, Venus returns to Taurus, one of its domiciles — aka a sign where it feels at home. The planet of love and beauty is the ruler of this fixed earth sign, where connections and creative pursuits are way less messy. After Venus’ bumpier transit through Aries, we’ll be swapping “oops” and “eek” for “ooh” and “aah.”

Venus in Taurus adores the good life, and it teaches us that we’re never too hard-working or important to indulge in simple pleasures and pencil in some R & R. So ready those luxe face masks, plush pajamas, and gourmet cheese platters. Over the next few weeks, have fun taking your sweet time. Plan a DIY spa day with your loved ones. Say yes to extra cherries and whipped cream on that sundae. Enjoy a slow afternoon in the sunshine. Why not? There’s no harm in accepting the spoonfuls of honey on offer all around you.

Think twice before sending that “can’t today, I’m busy” text

And/but/also: Venus in Taurus can sometimes lean too far into what’s cozy. Don’t let the lure of comfort prevent you from leaving the house or exploring the unknown. Are you actually too busy to hang out, or have you let the need for “radical rest” become an excuse to keep hiding in your blanket fort? Instead of bed-rotting all day, tuck away your phone and get outside. You don’t need 24/7 beauty sleep, and the world won’t stop turning if you go offline and touch grass for a bit. Venus in Taurus is here to remind you how powerful it can be to stay rooted in the present moment. In what your senses are showing you. In what lights you up IRL. And in the possibilities available to you in the here and now.

Horoscopes for Venus in Pisces, 2025

From January 2nd to February 3rd, Venus moves through Pisces. The planet of love, art, and relationships is exalted in this mutable water sign, meaning it operates at the peak of its powers in this placement. Think: how you feel at your most moisturized, hydrated, and rested. For the next month, we’ve got an extra confident, energized Venus infusing our connections, creative practices, and self-adornment rituals with an overflow of goodwill and pleasure.

Venus in Pisces is an unabashed romantic. It’s all about grand, sweeping gestures — not for the photo ops, but for the sake of doing something wholeheartedly, without holding back. Whether you’re catching up with a dear friend, cooking dinner for a beloved, getting in the zone at your pottery wheel, turning to a blank page in your notebook, tuning the strings of your cello, or sing-shouting along to your favorite playlist in the car, Venus in Pisces wants you to go all the way. To savor how it feels to commune deeply with other people, with works of art, with beautiful experiences, and with love itself.

If you’re tempted to write off this notion as foolish, naive, or cringe, ask yourself why. Sure, being openhearted can get sappy, but so what? If making a sentimental scene isn’t your thing, that’s fine. No matter what, test out what happens when you’re 100% honest about your own emotions. Nudge yourself to tell others how much they mean to you. Let this time reconnect you to the intricate webs of interdependence in your life.

But don’t forget — boundaries, baby

Keep in mind: Venus in Pisces can get so carried away in the whirlwind of romance and fantasy that it loses track of boundaries. When someone else seems to have a clear, compelling idea of what they want, you don’t need to conform to their wishes just to be agreeable. Over these next few weeks, check in often with your own moral compass. And refuse to believe that love requires self-sacrifice. The more you remind yourself where others end and you begin, the more profoundly you can enjoy this joyride of a transit.

Horoscopes for Venus in Capricorn, 2024

From November 11th to December 6th, Venus (the planet of love and connection) passes through Capricorn (the sign of consistency and hard work), and the steady support of this transit is right on time. This is a moment to commit — really commit — to the pockets of ease, stability, and pleasure that are available to us even amid challenging times. So heed its invitation to honor persistent acts of self-care. Embrace the comfort of friendships built on dozens of inside jokes. Establish boundaries that help you express your desires. And circulate “no thank yous” that protect your peace.

Venus in Capricorn teaches us that a little diligence can be the balm that revitalizes our bonds. That reliable routines like regular brunch dates, therapy sessions, or houseplant watering sessions can reinforce our trust in our attachments. That when we strengthen these structures, they soothe our nervous systems in return.

A safe place to land

After a particularly dramatic election season in the US, Venus’ entrance into Capricorn brings a stabilizing force. Here, the planet of connection offers an anchor of care, kindness, and commitment to our communities. It reminds us that our systems of support persist — and sometimes they require us to check in with our loved ones (and ourselves) like it’s our job. This is the perfect time to pencil in magic hour catch-ups to tell your besties how much they mean to you, and to establish the solitary rituals that allow you to show up in your relationships.

Within tumultuous periods of history, our pledges to our fellow activists, to our networks, and to one other are crucial. This transit invites us to be each other’s pillars — to share the sometimes overwhelming weight of the world. And to remember that practical acts of grounding go a long way, even if it’s something as simple as hopping on a Zoom call to breathe with your chosen family or pausing to enjoy a cup of tea in the sunshine.

Sweet devotion

On a personal level, the role of art and beauty in our lives is also about to get more serious. Just as the calluses on a guitarist’s fingers demonstrate years of honing their craft, Venus in Capricorn shows us that dedication is the main ingredient of virtuosity. Devoting your energy to the people and practices that have stood the test of time is a gorgeous way to honor this transit. Instant chemistry is all well and good, but there’s something even more satisfying about an old friend who remembers your favorite sorbet toppings. So surprise your nearest and dearest with handwritten notes of appreciation, celebrate the endurance of your bonds with matching tattoos, and draft your shared five-year plans. Venus in Capricorn understands that consistency is its own pleasure and pouring time into your loved ones is its own reward.

Horoscopes for Venus in Sagittarius, 2024

When Venus — the planet of love, pleasure, and beauty — moves through Sagittarius from October 17th to November 11th, our hearts heed their own wild calls. In this mutable fire sign, Venus finds the journey far more thrilling than the destination — especially when there are exciting detours along the way. Spontaneity is the name of the game, so don’t try to pin down Venus in Sagittarius for a specific date and time.

When it comes to friendship, romance, or creative expression, what motivates Venus in Sagittarius is the desire to tell a good story. Even if you’re not the type for grand gestures, the coming weeks are ideal for defining the larger arc of your attachment style, or for alchemizing a past disappointment into your next epic poem or comedy routine. And there’s something to be said for the magic of sheer enthusiasm when a relationship is stuck in a rut. Throwing caution to the wind and saying yes to a last-minute camping trip or dance party can reinvigorate your connections — and remind you that sharing novel experiences is the best bonding strategy. This transit teaches us that love is ever-expanding, and exploring its faraway horizons is well worth the risk.
