A current transit reveals how the current position of a planet or point interacts with your birth chart, highlighting areas where action or growth is needed.
A square is a challenging aspect that indicates a conflict of energy between two planets. It is a negative aspect that indicates tension and obstacles in the areas of life that the planets represent.
This aspect is a dominant force shaping your personality and life path. The interaction between Venus and Mercury is intense and unmistakable, bringing the associated themes and energies to the forefront of your life.
When Venus is transiting in a square aspect to natal Mercury, there tends to be a significant impact on communication and relationships. Venus represents love, beauty, harmony, and values, while Mercury governs communication, intellect, and thoughts. This tense 90-degree angle between these two celestial bodies can create misunderstandings or conflicts in conversations with loved ones or colleagues. Words may not come out as intended and might be perceived differently by others. There could be moments of charm being misinterpreted or words falling flat despite the best intentions.
This transit often encourages reflection on how personal values align with modes of communication. The friction from this challenging aspect forces an introspective look at whether one's verbal expressions truly reflect inner values and desires. During this time, social interactions might feel strained as efforts to maintain harmony are met with unexpected challenges. It’s essential during such periods to exercise patience and mindfulness in conversations to mitigate unnecessary disputes that could arise from the discordant energies at play between Venus's need for peace and Mercury's pursuit of clarity.
