Remaining in one zodiac sign for roughly 20-30 days, Venus enters Libra from August 29 until September 22, 2024. There are many reasons why this transit is significant. But what can each zodiac sign expect from this important, timely transit?
What’s special about Venus in Libra is how she nourishes our human need for community, communication, partnership, love, family, and friendship. This is one of the most revealing transits of the year. Venus in Libra looks at patterns of communication and codependency and asks how our relationships reflect on us as individuals. Where can we tighten up boundaries? Are your intimate relationships healthy, mutually respectful?
Libra listens and offers great advice. The challenge here is to be assertive and direct when the time comes to act. Libra-Venus must also learn to be alone. We need to be able to validate ourselves without relying on others to do this for us. This is deep work, and we’re in it together. We can be alone…together. Go figure!
Venus is the planet that rules our romantic lives and our creative selves. It is a planet representative of indulgence, pleasure, inspiring opportunities, and collective victory. Venus is equal parts fair and generous, inspiring all of us in our closest relationships and partnerships. This is especially true when Venus enters one of its home signs (Taurus is another Venus-ruled sign). Not only does this planet experience an added boost of power and connection, but it also helps certain signs of the zodiac in specific ways.
Venus in Libra allows more balance and clarity surrounding our most valuable and intimate partnerships. Venus is a planet devoted to pleasure and how romance affects our lives. When found in Libra, Venus adopts a pragmatic, balanced air that affords us more patience and romantic prioritisation.
Compromising and seeking well-rounded solutions are important aspects of the Libra personality. However, Librans often sacrifice more on their end to ensure the happiness of others. When Venus enters Libra, it affords us the clarity of true compromise without sacrificing too much of ourselves for our closest relationships.
Venus in Libra will pinpoint our relationship and communication weaknesses with startling accuracy. It’s about to get complex & intricate. We are about to face ourselves, again! Efforts to evade or deceive Libra will prove futile. What we are learning is that confrontation is definitely awkward and stressful but internalising is ultimately more uncomfortable.

As Venus enters Libra on August 29th and forms a trine with Pluto at 0° Aquarius, this alignment brings a profound and transformative energy to relationships and personal values. The harmonious trine aspect between Venus, the planet of love and beauty, and Pluto, the planet of transformation and deep psychological processes, creates a powerful opportunity for deepening emotional connections and understanding hidden aspects of oneself and others. This Venus-Pluto trine amplifies the intensity of feelings and desires, making it a time when superficial relationships or interactions are less satisfying. Instead, there is a strong pull towards authentic, meaningful connections that offer depth and intimacy. This influence can help individuals uncover underlying issues in relationships that need to be addressed, fostering a more honest and transparent communication style. It’s a period where the surface is less important than what lies beneath, encouraging us to explore the true motivations and emotional depths within our relationships. The transformative power of Pluto combined with the diplomatic and balance-seeking nature of Venus in Libra makes this an ideal time for significant shifts in relationships. It can catalyse profound changes, such as the healing of past emotional wounds or the strengthening of bonds through shared challenges and deeper understanding. For some, this aspect may bring about a powerful attraction or an encounter with someone who profoundly impacts their life, pushing them to explore new dimensions of love and intimacy.
On September 3rd, Venus at 6° Libra opposes the True Node at 6° Aries, highlighting a need to balance personal desires with the needs of others. This aspect can bring challenges in relationships, particularly around issues of independence versus partnership. It may be a time to confront and resolve any imbalances, ensuring that relationships are supportive and nurturing rather than restrictive.
Moving forward, on September 15th, Venus at 20° Libra trines Jupiter at 20° Gemini. This is a highly favourable aspect, bringing optimism, joy, and an expansive energy to relationships and social interactions. It's a wonderful time for romance, socialising, and enhancing existing relationships. This aspect encourages generosity and a positive outlook, making it easier to attract good fortune and harmonious connections.
Finally, on September 16th, Venus at 22° Libra opposes Chiron at 22° Aries. This aspect can bring up themes of healing and vulnerability in relationships. It may be a time to address past wounds or insecurities, allowing for deeper understanding and empathy. While this can be a challenging aspect, it offers an opportunity for growth and healing within relationships, encouraging a more compassionate and supportive dynamic.

VIRGO ♍
The strength of Venus entering Libra may leave you in a fog at first, Virgo. Prioritising romance isn’t often at the forefront of your mind, as Venus is technically in its fall in the sign of Virgo. However, prioritising romance is exactly what you should do during this transit. Libras have a sort of pragmatic honesty that you understand. While it may be challenging to find the right path at first, work toward honesty and compassion in all of your relationships during this time.

SCORPIO ♏
Just like Aries, Venus is to its detriment when found in Scorpio. This makes its messages difficult to grasp, at least at first. During this transit into Libra, Venus will grant Scorpios a time of rest and introspection, particularly in regard to partnerships and work-life balance. You have no trouble getting deep, but is this sense of depth serving the harmony and peace you desire in your life? Contemplate your precision and capacity for intimacy during this time.

SAGITTARIUS ♐
Venus entering Libra reminds you of the importance of relationships, Sagittarius. You likely value many people and partnerships in your life; however, you value your freedom more than the delicate balance that can be created in one-on-one relationships.
There’s no question about which will win in the “style versus substance” contest over the coming weeks. During Venus’ transit through Libra, you’ll be far more attracted to a person’s intellect and ideals than to what’s on the surface. (Though, knowing you, you’ll still be giving that “packaging” a once-over.)
Couples will enjoy spending more playtime together, perhaps organising a brainy team and becoming regulars at the local pub’s trivia night.

CAPRICORN ♑
Your natural assertiveness may feel unwelcome during this transit, Capricorn. Libras value harmony and hearing all sides of a story, especially when it comes to workplace politics. While you typically navigate these affairs with grace, practise additional patience and understanding during this time. In addition, your home life may need attention and prioritisation now more than ever. Find peace and fulfilment in work and home, two types of valuable partnerships for you.

AQUARIUS ♒
This Venus transit will help you see the world clearly, Aquarius.

Perhaps more creativity or passion will enter your daily comings and goings. Or maybe you’ll make more connections and friendships than you expected during this time. No matter the case, this transit is a positive and welcome one in your life!

PISCES ♓
Flexibility is important for this Venus transit, Pisces. Thankfully, being flexible is already one of your strengths as a mutable sign. Your heart is large and eager to please during this time. But your compassion may not be received in the ways you expect. Libra energy can be occasionally difficult for you to comprehend, but this will encourage you to think outside of the box, particularly in how you show love.
