Venus in Purva Phalguni ~ A relaxed romantic scene

Venus, planet of art and relating, is in Leo-Purva Phalguni, ‘the previous red one’, from September 25th to October 6th 2025.

Purva’s symbol of a Hammock describes its relaxed nature, which finds Venus in an easy-going and romantic setting where you’re happy to let a relationship take its own course. There’s no strict agenda or rules to follow, and you go along with a proposal of a date or trip away, as long as a good time is on offer. This asterism’s ruling deity, Aryaman, one of the Adityas, has power over marital happiness, which emphasizes your current love of play and flirtation.

A natural bond of affection is all that matters, as you celebrate the spontaneous and fun-loving side of life. Purva’s Shakti, or unique gift, for ‘Procreation’ may put your mind on family matters, and also crossing your talents with others in a shared artistic project. You have definite ideas of how to express yourself, and maintaining a basic direction keeps your efforts from becoming a simple chase after the next thrill. Venus sitting with mystical Ketu through this transit gives you the potential to bond with your partner over a shared sense of meaning and get on a non-verbal level of understanding.

You have a desire to help people, and the healing arts also have a natural appeal. There is a strong sentimental mood around October 4th and 5th, and your heart goes back to an old relationship that you remember fondly. You can enjoy this feeling, but don’t be tempted to try to live in the past, as you look forward to the approach of the Full Moon of October 7th.
