Venus in Shravana ~ Be a good listener

Venus, the planet of art and relationship, is in Shravana from December 10th to 22nd 2024, the nakshatra within the zodiacal sign of Capricorn.

The Shakti, or a unique gift, of this asterism, is ‘Making Connection’, and Venus here sees you bonding with a partner over a shared love of the arts, either in a personal affair or creative collaboration. You can find a romance for the long term, or simply start a new and enduring new chapter in your current relationship. Shravana is associated with high learning and spiritual knowledge through its rulership by Vishnu the Preserver, and Shravana itself is known for its power to give fame.

This asterism’s symbol of the Ear favours all kinds of oral traditions, where you use your expressive skills and powers of memory, at the same time as tuning out gossip and romantic rumours. You are charming and eloquent, and have the ability to speak sweetly to anyone you wish to impress – finding the right words is a great gift. You can also get closer to somebody by being a good listener. Draw on your teaching, writing and presenting skills, plus your esoteric knowledge steps up a level, especially with respect to focused mantra-chanting.

Venus is also affected by dynamic Mars through this whole transit, which gives your relating a passionate and impulsive quality. Around December 11th and 12th, you may be drawn into an unwise liaison or take a chance with someone you wouldn’t usually consider. A romantic conquest may be on your mind, or else you receive sudden attention from a stranger without looking for it. Certainly, this transit sees you taking the initiative, and you won’t sit on the fence or wait for someone else to make the first move.
