Venus, planet of romance and art, is in Sagittarius-Mula from December 20th to 30th 2025, the nakshatra associated with essentials and foundations.

Mula’s Shakti, or special gift, ‘To Ruin and Tear Apart’ sees you clearing out old attachments and letting in positive new romantic energy. This nakshatra’s symbol of a Root shows Mula’s position at the astronomical centre of our Galaxy, with its nature to explore issues deeply and thoroughly. Venus loves fine quality, but here you enjoy stripping things back and mixing more with mavericks and outsiders, and being a romantic purist finds you in a partnership for its own sake rather than any selfish benefit.

Be careful of going too far in breaking your relationships down, and instead think about bringing in soul mates with a true meeting of minds. Venus also moves alongside fiery Mars through this transit, which gives you strong desires and a readiness to reach out to others. You act on an invitation and don’t wait for people to approach you before you break the ice. Think before giving way entirely to impulse: Venus is also under the influence of Saturn, especially from December 20th to 23rd, and you balance instant attraction with a more measured approach.

This dynamic may also see you passing up a grand invitation in favour of the company of friends closer to your heart, especially those with unique ideas about the world. Mula is identified with Goddess Alakshmi, who governs shortage and privation, so also be mindful of over-leveraging yourself and taking a financial risk. It’s a better time to strip down and simplify your lifestyle, where expressing yourself creatively comes from a sincere love of your art.
