Venus in Pushya ~ Giving and receiving support

Venus, the planet of art, luxury, and relationship, is in Pushya in the sign of Cancer from August 23rd to September 3rd, 2025.

This is an auspicious and life-sustaining nakshatra for most life purposes, which may see you being drawn into high and powerful circles. Raise the tone in your relationship and you get the same classy attitude in return. Pushya gives Venus romantic generosity, where you support your partner and provide security, and its symbol of an Udder suggests maternal-type affection. You give and receive special love, and make your partner feel safe, though be careful of becoming too emotional or overwhelming.

The Shakti, or unique gift, of this asterism, is ‘The Power to Create Spiritual Energy’, so you can share a soul bond with your partner, over and above that which you find on your own. Pushya’s ruling deity, Brihaspati, emphasizes its deep, questing side, so you bond over a mutual attraction to thought and higher learning. Expect somebody close to reaching out or needing help, or a friend or contact may step up for you and offer healing and a kind of rescue experience. This comes from the best of intentions and you can usually rely on it.

It’s also a good time to make long-term arrangements and look at your relationship in a cool, mature way. You can have a serious conversation with your partner, where they are open to the discussion, and you both understand that a lasting bond takes constant work and renewal. August 6th is a good day to fit your social life in and around your business commitments and a new attraction may arise with an influential older person.
