Venus, the planet of love and the arts, is in Swati within the sign of Libra from December 5th to 22nd, 2026.

This transit is a repeat of Venus’s recent extended stay in this nakshatra through most of September and October, and altogether caps an intense focus on the affairs of this area over the last months. Now in direct motion, Venus has been through its backward and forward phase and allows you to see a relationship and its dynamics from different sides. Your partner may have given you a lot of attention, or you may have to work harder at keeping your connection with them alive.

Expect repeated experiences in love, and look at the karmic lesson, which may still take you by surprise no matter how prepared you imagine. Swati’s qualities of learning and intellect, justice and forgiveness, and Venus’s strong position in its own sign give you natural poise and a sense of romantic fairness. You are rewarded for patient attention, bargaining, and give-and-take, and can handle the back-and-forth nature of an unusual relationship.

Prepare to be a wise advisor in a friend’s love life too, where you are balanced and see both sides of an issue. Swati’s Shakti, or unique gift, ‘To Scatter Like the Wind’, also suggests sowing seeds and connecting with a wider circle of people. Your artistic efforts also go through changes, and you may take a project in a new direction based on sudden inspiration after a period of uncertainty.

Take care that you don’t spread yourself too thinly on the social front, and instead put your charm to work on one special person.
