This post was originally published on Astrology Answers

A sense of rebellion accompanies the sign of Aquarius, a desire for spontaneity that coats each moment in uncertainty and excitement. And when Venus – the planet of love – moves into Aquarius on December 7th, 2024. You can expect these themes to trickle into your love life!

Let’s take a look at how romantic Venus in intellectual Aquarius will affect your own love life.

About Venus in Aquarius

Before we look at the themes you can expect from Venus in Aquarius, let’s break this transit down a bit.

Venus is the planet associated with love, relationships, romance, and pleasure. Venus is all about bringing people together, helping them connect, and encouraging them to have a good time.

On the other hand, Aquarius is an Air sign – intellectual, spontaneous, and a little rebellious. Aquarius is compassionate and humanitarian, and it won’t stop until it’s done its part to make the world a better place for our global community. It wants to shake things up, to affect change – thanks, in part, to its subversive ruling planet, Uranus.

Air, which is Aquarius’ ruling element, encourages the intelligent and thoughtful nature of Aquarius to truly shine. However, all that deep thought can make it difficult for this sign to connect to their emotions.

Aquarius is also a Fixed sign, making them stable, trustworthy, and idealistic. While this sign may not be the most likely to shower you with affection, they don’t let go easily once they’ve committed to someone.

Further, Aquarius is a sign that embraces eccentricity and bucks the system.

They don’t want to have the same experience as everyone else. They want to lap up the unusual, tread new territory, and discover oddities around the world. Therefore, when Venus is in Aquarius, we desire something new, unique, and maybe even a bit unusual when it comes to love.

This transit will encourage you to explore the world around you, seek out the odd and unusual in love, and have unique experiences with the people you care about – to let your freak flag fly.

How to Enhance Your Relationships With Venus in Aquarius

One of the greatest things about astrology is that it can help you navigate certain moods or themes in your life. And when Venus is in Aquarius, you should do a few things to make sure your relationships are running as smoothly as possible, whether romantic, platonic, or otherwise.

1. Embrace the Unusual

This is the time to embrace adventure with your partner or the people closest to you. If you’re in a romantic relationship, you’ll build a deeper, stronger bond with your partner during this transit by trying new things and embracing the unusual.

Attempt a new recipe or cuisine. Watch a movie that falls outside of each of your interests. Try an activity together that previously seemed far too weird to enjoy – you might love it this time around!

2. Be Spontaneous

While Aquarius is thoughtful, it isn’t a very plan-oriented sign: This sign is much more likely to follow their heart and live in the moment than stick to a rigid plan or schedule. Therefore, when interacting with your partner or loved ones, you may feel overwhelmed or irritated with too much structure.

This is the time to let the moment take over, to follow the trail of excitement and enthusiastic energy whenever (and wherever) it leads.

3. Command Compassion

Aquarius isn’t the most emotional sign, but that can be advantageous for such compassionate energy. This sign can help those around them without letting negativity or melancholy energy take over their mood.

If you’re in a relationship, this is the time to focus on the compassion you feel and do what you can to support and be there for your partner. Think about what you can do for them, and make sure to infuse acts of service into your love language.
