Venus travels through the entire zodiac to enjoy the qualities of each sign and each house. In every position, Venus fulfills some of her desires and then moves to another place (another sign or house) to bring herself pleasure there as well.
The strongest position for Venus is the sign of Pisces. Here, Venus is exalted and receives the maximum potential.
The weakest position for Venus is the sign of Virgo. In Virgo, Venus is debilitated and receives minimal opportunities.
The own signs of Venus are Taurus and Libra. In these signs, Venus is slightly weaker than in Pisces.
The friendly signs for Venus are Gemini, Capricorn, and Aquarius. In these signs, Venus is not as strong as in her own signs or in the sign of exaltation, but she still performs quite successfully.
The neutral signs for Venus are Aries, Scorpio, and Sagittarius. Neutrality implies indifference and detachment. These signs neither energize Venus significantly nor deplete her energy. Here, Venus manifests in a balanced, average way—neither poorly nor excellently.
The hostile signs for Venus are Cancer and Leo. These are unfavorable placements that deprive Venus of her potential.
Venus typically stays in one sign for less than a month and completes a journey through the entire zodiac in 224 days. It becomes retrograde for about one and a half months every year and a half. Due to its fast movement, Venus does not have enough time to form any significant events. In each sign, Venus remains for approximately three weeks, and in one degree, it stays for about a day (except during its retrograde period).
The transit of Venus pertains to the realms of relationships, love, intimate connections, finances, and personal values.
Depending on the sign and house through which transiting Venus moves, as well as the aspects it forms (Venus aspects the 7th house from itself, including any planets located there) during its transit, one can assess a person’s emotional state at a given moment. It becomes possible to understand where their feelings are directed, how happy or unhappy they are, their relationships with others, their current financial situation, and who or what might be influencing these aspects.
If Venus is free from negative aspects (taking into account not only the planets in the natal chart but also the transits of other planets), it brings good fortune in matters related to the house it transits through, alleviates tension, or even eliminates it entirely. The degree of success depends on the quality and strength of Venus in the natal chart, as well as the nature of the transiting aspects.
