Venus Square Uranus: Break-ups or Breakthroughs

Venus squares Uranus on Saturday, January 14th (which you may have noticed all week) and then conjoins Saturn on Sunday, January 22nd.

When Venus, goddess of love, beauty, sex, connection, joy, and all things pleasurable, comes into a challenging aspect with Uranus, god of unexpected changes and disruptions, Venusian things are also disrupted or changed. Sometimes the disruptions are breakups of some kind and sometimes they’re breakthroughs.

This might look like:

-literally breaking up with a partner

-a sense of shakiness or ups and downs with a partner

-having an unexpected conversation with a partner

-desires revealed to open relationships up

-creating more freedom in relationships in some way

-upgrading your sex life (whatever that means to you)

-making a drastic change to your style (just getting that tattoo or haircut!)

-a desire to try out a new hobby

-discovering something new about your sexuality or orientation

-experimentation in matters of love, sex, and connection

-impulsively buying clothes, jewelry, or something shiny (whatever appeals to you)

-breakthroughs in an art project or collaboration

It’s my opinion that these shake-ups happen for the sake of innovation or breaking free from something. But sometimes they might be due to being bored, impulsivity, something arising that needed expression, or are seemingly random.

After Venus plays with Uranus, she gets serious with Saturn, god of hard work, commitment, boundaries, and life lessons…
