For nearly a month, Venus has encouraged you to relate to others, tailor your personal style and pursue earning opportunities in a more detail-focused, thoughtful and service-oriented way. But as of Monday, October 13 at 5:19 p.m. ET/2:19 p.m. PT, you can prepare for more harmony, peacemaking and romance when it comes to relationships, beauty and earning, because Venus enters Libra. Since September 19, Venus has been in Virgo, a sign in which it is considered to be in its “fall.” This means the planet is challenged and struggles to do its work in the sign of the Maiden, because their energies aren’t quite in sync. On the other hand, when Venus is in Libra, the planet of relationships is at full — if not maximum — strength, given that it’s at home, or in domicile, in the sign of the Scales. Libra happens to be one of two signs it rules (the other being Taurus). In turn, you’ll notice that bonds — especially partnerships — are even more gratifying than usual, you can more readily tap into your creative impulses and infuse your life with more beauty, balance and serenity.
Here, all you need to know in order to make the most of Venus in Libra 2025.
What’s the meaning of Venus in Libra?
When Venus is in Libra, you can look forward to smoother sailing when it comes to relationships, beauty, pleasure, values and money — aka all of the planet’s terrain — because the planet named for the Goddess of Love is right at home in the cardinal air sign.
Venus makes its way through Libra, the seventh sign of the zodiac, symbolized by the Scales, once a year. To understand Libra energy, it can help to look to the sign’s ruler, which is none other than Venus itself. Libra’s nature mirrors Venus’ priorities: harmony, charm, connection, romance and art. Those born under the sign of the Scales will go to great lengths to steer clear of conflict, preferring to do everything they can to inject more balance, beauty and peace into every situation, interaction or moment. They’re also intent on hearing both sides of any debate in order to land on the most fair, just conclusion. In fact, sometimes, because they’re so set on doing this, they can struggle to make up their minds at all. Libra is also a super-social butterfly, but although they love to host any kind of get-together of any size, Libra is associated with the Seventh House of Partnership, so they thrive when pairing up with a friend, colleague or significant other. That said, when Venus is in Libra, spending time with people you adore one-on-one versus as part of a group also appeals more than usual.
As one of the cardinal signs (the others are Aries, Cancer and Capricorn), Libra is a visionary who can easily take the initiative on sweeping game plans. But they might struggle with follow-through, preferring the big picture planning stage of any strategy.
Venus in Libra season also lends itself to diving into mediations, negotiations and other peace-seeking conversations and initiatives. This is also a high point for booking self-care experiences (like a massage or facial) or overhauling your makeup or skincare routine, given the airy, beauty-loving tone that lends itself to these practices.
And because Venus is also the planet of earning and values, you may want to consider various financial strategies — and maybe even struggle to land on a path forward — when it’s moving through Libra. Ultimately, you’ll find that you’re drawn to plans that sync with your principles.
What can you expect during Venus in Libra 2025
Although Venus moves through Libra annually, all of the planets move at different rates through the zodiac, so the relationship-oriented planet’s meet-ups with other celestial bodies change from year to year. A few must-knows in 2025:
Just after moving into Libra, Venus will form an opposition to Neptune, the planet of illusion and dreams, in Aries, which can fuel crossed wires, haziness, confusion and potentially even deception in relationships. On a positive note, it’s also an opportunity to tap into the power of your imagination and spirituality, allowing your most vivid dreams to fuel important conversations and roadmapping with a friend, colleague or loved one.
The next day, October 14, Venus forms harmonious trines to both Uranus, the planet of rebellion, in Gemini and Pluto, the planet of transformation, in Aquarius, supporting out-of-the-box and empowering moves in relationships, beauty, art and moneymaking.
Fast forward to November 2, when Venus squares off against the other benefic — aka planet of good fortune — Jupiter, which supports having a blast with friends and loved ones, but not so much putting your nose to the grindstone. This transit can also lead to leaning into excess (think overspending), so embrace a measured approach if possible.
Here, how Venus in Libra 2025 will affect you based on your sign. (Be sure to read both your sun and your rising sign if you know it. If you don’t, you can find it in your birth chart or by using this CafeAstrology calculator.)
Aries
You value your independence greatly, but when Venus, the planet of love, moves through your partnership sector, you’ll be reminded just how lovely — and helpful — it is to join forces with a significant other, dear friend or colleague to move the ball forward on your most creative endeavors. It does bear noting that Venus’s time in Libra emphasizes conflict avoidance, which runs counter to your nature, but you’ll do well to leverage this moment to learn about how you can have just as much fun and assert yourself just as well without necessarily butting heads with others. You could also find that this period is suited to handling an unresolved disagreement once and for all. And when Venus squares fortunate Jupiter in your home zone around November 2, you can enjoy a surge of harmony with loved ones.
