When Venus leaves flamboyant Leo and moves into Virgo on 19 September, you might expect the showbizzy, glamorous vibe to drop off – and indeed it does. This transit brings in a more careful and critical approach when it comes to all things Venus: love, relationships, money, beauty, values, financial investments and behaviours. While Venus transits through Virgo, you may feel influenced to take a more careful and serious approach in your relationships, by checking in and making sure those we surround yourselves with have a positive impact on your well-being. Some may feel more closed off and cautious about who you let in or allow yourself to be close with.
Virgo really is not Venus’ favourite sign to transit through. This is mainly due to Virgo’s closed off, reserved, critical and meticulous approach. Those who are born with Venus in Virgo (like me), are known to have quite high expectations and may struggle to really understand and experience unconditional love because they require so many conditions and standards.
This is a great time to reflect upon where you may be overly critical toward yourself and others. Do you show yourself enough self love and compassion, or do you often find yourself being extremely critical and hard on yourself?
As well looking at how critical and judgemental you can be toward others – how can you be more compassionate, giving and nurturing toward others. Although if you’re someone who often finds yourself giving away more of your time and energy to others over yourself, it’s the perfect time to reflect upon how you can develop a balance between service to others and service to self.
Surprisingly, however, when Venus transits Virgo, astrology suggests that sensuality increases and there’s really rather a romantic and sentimental air to this planetary shift. Virgo is an earth sign after all, and therefore deeply connected to sensuality and to earthy pleasures. Although this complex zodiac sign gets its fair share of mean press, it really doesn’t deserve its reputation for prissiness.
Those in established relationships will find that the Venus in Virgo transit can deepen mutual understanding and respect. As a zodiac sign, Virgo is loyal and committed, so it follows that Venus’ loving energy during this period favours stability, fidelity and tenderness. Even committed couples have to be careful when Venus is in Virgo not to try too hard to “improve” one another. This Venus transit teaches us to love one another warts and all, but the urge to “helpfully” interfere in your sweetheart’s fashion sense, working life or family relationships may be very strong! Such over-analysis is not helpful in love, however, so try not to analyse your relationships under a microscope. During Venus in Virgo, let your love life run its course and trust that you’re doing the right thing.
When it comes to self-love and beauty, it's important to remind yourself not to be critical and stuck in comparison. The goal is not to look like someone else or to be accepted by someone else, the goal is to love and accept yourself for all that you authentically are. To learn to let go of any unrealistic ideals of beauty standards and attachments to perfectionism. A great place to start is looking at some of the insecurities you hold, and some of those negative intrusive thoughts that you have. Where do they stem from? What makes you feel this way? How can you show yourself more love, acceptance, and forgiveness?
Astrologers say that Venus transits don’t only concern love, but often money too. Here, the Venus in Virgo transit is useful for making practical, sensible, grounded financial decisions. Pay attention to the details more and work on overcoming any bad habits or tendencies for over-indulgence. Reflect upon how you can be more careful and disciplined with your money. Over-thinking things can be helpful if you’re struggling with money, and this is a helpful transit for getting out of debt or getting back on the financial straight and narrow. Leave it to the Virgoan energy to help motivate you to get your finances in order.
While Venus transits through Virgo, allow yourself to be more caring, thoughtful and accepting toward others and, of course, yourself. Find ways to overcome and navigate any critical thoughts, rather than focusing on all the things that seem to be going wrong, allow yourself to see the silver lining. Stop the constant complaining and step into appreciating the little things. It's about coming to an understanding that everything doesn’t need to be perfect in order to find beauty, love and a sense of peace.

On 21st of September, Venus forms a square to retrograde Uranus in Gemini. When this happen relationships and values may feel shaken by unexpected turns. You may crave stability yet feel restless, sensing the urge for freedom or a change in patterns. This aspect often brings sudden attractions or shifts in financial matters, highlighting the tension between order and unpredictability. What seemed reliable can suddenly shift, urging you to reassess what you truly want. It’s a call to balance flexibility with discernment, allowing space for surprises without losing your grounding. Embrace new perspectives, but avoid impulsive decisions driven solely by restlessness or impatience.
On 3rd of October, Venus conjuncts the Moon’s South Node, and you may feel drawn to familiar patterns in love, beauty, and relationships. This aspect often highlights past connections or karmic themes, where old habits resurface for review. You might encounter people from your past or notice dynamics repeating, asking you to discern what truly serves your growth. Venus in Virgo seeks clarity, purity, and practicality, while the South Node reminds you not to get stuck in cycles that limit evolution. This is a moment to honour past lessons, release attachments, and refine your values in relationships with conscious intention.
On 11 October, Venus opposes retrograde Saturn in Pisces. You’ll be caught between the longing for closeness and the fear of vulnerability.

Relationships may feel tested, as responsibilities overshadow desires, and you may question whether bonds are sustainable. This transit challenges you to face insecurities with maturity, to balance tenderness with accountability, and to transform past disappointments into wisdom for building more authentic, enduring forms of connection.

This normally ends in tears for an Aries – try to leave well alone and to remember why you fell in love in the first place!
