Venus in Jyeshta ~ Fight a romantic battle

Venus, planet of relationships and values, enters Jyestha from December 9th to 20th 2025, the last nakshatra in the zodiacal sign of Scorpio.

Jyeshta is ‘The Elder’, and its ruling devata is Indra, King of the Gods, so you focus on taking charge of your love life and relations with a larger group of people. You may be attracted to somebody older or more influential, or else you are the voice of experience in a romantic situation. Jyesthta’s Shakti, or special power, is also for Courage in Battle, so you can press an argument that has lain beneath the surface and get the issues out in the open, before your tactful qualities win the peace.

Venus is adept at diplomacy, so you may speak up on behalf of a cause, or look into insurance or a fallback position that provides security. This asterism is associated with Goddess Alakshmi, who signifies privation or hardship, so you can also take steps to minimise this tendency through generosity and targeted donation. Jyesthta’s symbol of a Talisman or Umbrella sees you offering protection, for yourself and people closest to you, or you can find somebody who acts as your lucky charm.

Venus coming together with the Moon in Scorpio on December 18th and 19th creates a powerful emotional atmosphere, and perhaps a touch of romantic nostalgia. An old friend may appear, or your mind goes back to a relationship from years ago. Your need for company is strong at this point, but make sure you are looking into the past for the right reasons. The New Moon on December 20th brings a romantic revival and sees you looking forward again.
