Venus, the planet of love, attachment, attraction, and wealth, has entered Capricorn on November 11th and will stay there until December 7th. As a personal planet, Venus’ transits have a direct impact on human behavior surrounding love, pleasure, aesthetics, and finances. Capricorn being a cardinal earth sign ruled by Saturn is associated with aspiration, achievement, strategy, and obligation. This transit will be more impactful for those with placements in cardinal signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.
Venus in Capricorn represents themes of responsibility, maturity, patriarchal conditioning, and self-worth. Individuals are called to reassess their values, beliefs, and approach to building wealth.
