Venus, planet of love and art, moves from Pisces-Revati to Aries-Ashwini between March 23rd and 28th, 2026.

This is the Gandanta ‘knot-end’ between water and fire signs, as well as nakshatras, a double junction or ‘sandhi’ that makes this area volatile and unstable. Venus goes from its highest degree of exaltation in Pisces into a fierier and more self-centred mode by March 25th, and your relationships shift into a direct and demanding style. Belief, empathy, and even self-sacrifice have become the norm over the last month, and now your desire to support your partner gives way to a more independent romantic vision.

It’s best to take things slowly, as a karmic quality tests your intentions and demands that you keep to your romantic ideals, despite a passing lack of support. Going against the flow and pulling on the Gandanta knot may only entangle you more tightly – though you can also use this period consciously to rid yourself of attachment and become romantically free if you should wish. Revati is known for selflessness, hospitality and protection, and initially, you are attracted to mavericks and outsiders with a mysterious allure. The switch to Aries-Ashwini also breaks Venus away from the influence of sober Saturn, and your forward-looking style works well if you need a change of scene and to be more socially active.

Ashwini is pure fire, where you get your needs met by the quickest route, and you may find somebody older or influential who acts as a guide or teacher. You can also use the Gandanta area consciously to refuse or defer a social obligation, and give yourself greater freedom.
