Venus in Mrigashira ~ A full romantic pursuit

Venus, the planet of love and values, is in Mrigashira, the nakshatra spanning the signs of Taurus and Gemini from July 20th to 31st 2025.

Mrigashira’s symbol, the Deer, is depicted in myth being pursued across the skies by Brahma the Creator, and this transit sees you driven by desire and the thrill of the chase. Even in this nakshatra’s stable Taurus portion, Venus sees you pursuing goals for their own sake without thinking of your overall direction, and your romantic life has a restless streak.

The influence of Saturn in the early part of this transit, however, gives you greater focus and you may be looking for a longer-lasting situation, or have a partner who is more serious. You are also balancing work and social commitments at this point, and need a relationship that gives you freedom and flexibility, and satisfies both sides. Going into Gemini from July 26th, Venus joins with expansive Jupiter to bring you greater romantic openness and adventure. Mrigashira naturally senses unexplored possibilities and you may be reluctant to commit when there’s bigger promise around the corner.

Jupiter may see you connecting with somebody from another country or culture, or where you have a mutual love of study and travel. You seek a romantic conquest and simply love to flirt, or else unconsciously invite others to chase after you. This nakshatra’s Shakti, or special power, to ‘Give Fulfilment’, however, finds ultimate success and satisfaction when you settle down and love the one you are with. In your work life and creativity too, try to focus on one vision at a time and not dilute your energy with constantly changing ideas.
