We have certain preconceived notions of the impact that Venus can have on our love lives. We tend to think that no matter what sign it’s in, Venus will have a positive impact-we’ll meet someone special, rekindle our romance with a long term partner, or finally begin to understand self love. Venus has a reputation as a sensual, romantic planet, and we tend to think that it will automatically spice up our love lives no matter what it’s doing up in the cosmos. But this is not always the case-sometimes, we don’t feel that stereotypical influence. On November 11, Venus enters Capricorn-and we’re about to see a whole new side of this planet. Here’s what to expect under Venus in Capricorn:
- You may come across as cold or emotionless when it comes to love.
Forget all the ideas you have about Venus turning you into a sultry goddess of romance-in fact, when Venus enters Capricorn, it’s the opposite. It may not come across as though you’re looking for love at all, which can definitely be a challenge. But you need to be honest with yourself-maybe you do have other priorities, and that’s what’s coming through now. The key here is to just be yourself, which may sound easy or difficult.
- Your new mantra is “work first, love later.”
Capricorn is known for their devotion to their career-it’s one of their defining personality traits. When Venus enters Capricorn, you’ll begin to understand the “work first, love later” mindset. Your job will take priority over going out on a date or hooking up with a new fling, and you won’t want to get involved with anyone who could potentially distract you from your career. And for a short time, this kind of mindset can actually be very beneficial for both your personal and professional life.
- If you do meet someone, you’ll want to keep things casual.
Venus in Capricorn is not the time for starting a long-term relationship. You may meet someone who you want to officially date at a later time, but as long as this transit is occurring, it’s tough to actually take things to that level. This transit favors short-term, casual relationships-the kind that don’t require a high level of emotional involvement and don’t interfere with any other areas of your life. If that’s not your thing, it may be best to put dating on the back burner for now.
- You’ll begin to think seriously about the type of future that you really want.
Capricorn is very concerned with leaving the right kind of legacy, so they’re always planning and working towards the future. When Venus enters Capricorn, you’ll start to think very deeply about your romantic future: do you want to get married? Do you want to have children? What kind of marriage do you see for yourself? What kind of compromises would you be willing to make for someone that you love? These are tough questions, but this transit will help you dig deep for the answers.
