The essence of Venus is as dazzling as a shooting star in the night sky. Also known as the goddess of love, it isn’t hard to imagine why this planet oversees the relationship realm, but if you’re wondering how Venus in Aquarius will affect each zodiac sign, you’re in for a stellar experience. Pay attention because the love planet never ceases to make an entrance, and as of February 16 at 11 a.m. ET, it will be transiting the eccentric and forward-thinking sign of Aquarius. 

Next to Mercury, Venus is the second planet from the sun and the closest to Earth; it’s also a personal planet in astrology, making its journey through the zodiac all the more pivotal to consider. Although Venus is no stranger to playing cosmic matchmaker, it’s also a representation of our financial security, value systems, and definition of pleasure. This means that when considering both your personal and professional life, Venus is equivalent to your perception of abundance, bliss, and harmony. 

While in the socially conscious sign of Aquarius, Venus highlights the connections, investments, and social environments that support our individual authenticity. It rings true when considering the rebel side of this Uranus-ruled sign, as it has everything to do with our community affairs, visions of the future, and sense of belonging in the world. Aquarius’ archetype also encourages us to embrace our uniqueness, celebrate diversity, and champion humanitarian causes. It’s about breaking free from societal norms, especially when it’s for the greater good of mankind.

Not to be the (water)bearer of bad news, but Venus in Aquarius isn’t the most traditional transit when it comes to matters of love and romance. It’s quite the opposite, actually, as it prioritizes casual friendships and relationships with plenty of breathing room to be individuals, first and foremost. So much so that we are collectively prone to seeking relationships based on similar goals and ideals as opposed to intense emotional connections and romantic gestures. Venus in Aquarius is a sapiosexual.

After making its supernova debut in Aquarius on February 16, Venus will eventually join powerhouse Pluto in a revelatory conjunction on the 17th. This could spark intense and transformative experiences within our relationships, as well as in our social networks. It can also uncover the shadow side of a relationship, if not the social dynamics within a community. As a collective, Venus conjunct Pluto—planet of creation and destruction—which will heighten our desires as well as our power struggles, which can contribute to a social revolution of sorts.

On February 22, Venus will also conjunct its cosmic counterpart Mars in Aquarius, igniting a dynamic surge of passion and assertiveness. This could inspire the desire to experiment and explore unconventional pursuits that allow us to embrace our unique eccentricities and individuality. Shortly after, Venus will form a challenging square to Jupiter on February 24. This could bring about feelings of excess, indulgence, and over-the-top gestures, financially or in relationships. Steer away from large investments, and don’t overextend yourself to a friend if you can’t keep your word.
