Venus enters the hard-working sign of Capricorn from November 11, 2024 to December 6, 2024.
This is a great time to get serious about all things Venus…love, finances and personal values. Don’t expect openly lavish displays of love and affection with Venus in Capricorn, but do expect that love, finances, and values will be taken seriously. This transit is influenced by Capricorn’s ruler, Saturn…so being mature, accountable, and responsible is key when navigating Venus themes. Expect a reality check that helps to solidify love, finances, and personal value systems.
Be cautious of leaning too far into the colder expressions of Venus in Capricorn energy which include conditional love and finances, feelings of being burden and obligated, and an overemphasis on controlling and micromanagement.

LOVE WITH A REALITY CHECK
VENUS/SATURN LOVE
When it comes to love and partnerships, Venus in Capricorn is not necessarily romantic, but it is dependable, reliable, and seeks love that has a solid path forward. So, if you are someone that is looking to “lock down” in a relationship, now is the time this may be considered.
Expect people to want something from a relationship at this time-something serious. Current and potential partners and love interests want to know upfront where the union is headed during this transit.
Capricorn’s influence adds a Saturnian touch to this Venus transit urging us to take accountability and responsibility for how we show up in love. Time is of the essence, and acting like an “adult” is encouraged.
This is a good time to assess whether the partner you are dealing with is someone that you can build a solid life with. Venus associated with Capricorn/Saturn is a love that is in it for the long haul. Before taking those actionable steps to commit to another, take a long hard look at your partner/potential love interest. Are they the type of person that you see yourself building a life with?
Venus in Capricorn has plans when it comes to love. If you see yourself building a future with someone, this transit could prompt you to move forward, if not; the Capricorn/Saturn influence with Venus will “distance” you from the relationship altogether to avoid investing “time” into a union that doesn’t lead to what is desired. Commitments made at this time are likely to stand the test of time…for better or worse, so choose your partners/love interest wisely. It’s better to be connected with someone that you want to be in a relationship with for the long haul as opposed to being in a relationship due to obligation.
FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY & ACCOUNTABILITY
EARNED FINANCIAL SECURITY
Since Venus governs finances, the influence of Capricorn/Saturn offers the opportunity to get real when it comes to money and resources earned for the self. If you have an established plan for creating income, wealth, and resources for yourself, great. Keep moving forward and seek out income earning opportunities that are solid, lucrative, and practical with the potential for long-term growth over time (Capricorn/Saturn rules time).
With Venus in Capricorn, you know exactly what you are supposed to be doing to improve your finances and achieve financial success. Take initiative as Capricorn is a cardinal, action-oriented sign. MAKE A PLAN. Venus in Capricorn appreciates a well-laid out plan that puts you in control of your finances and income-earning potential. If you have not been responsible and accountable for your finances, now is the time to do so. Even if you believe that your financial issues and concerns are above your head, Venus in Capricorn gives you the tenacity to keep moving forward and obtain the financial success you desire.
Steer clear of financial endeavors that involve fly-by-night financial success or riches. This is a transit that encourages putting in hard work to earn financial success.
ADULT VALUES
VALUES WITH A LESSON
Do you know what you value? Do you know why you value what you value? Venus in Capricorn brings lessons around the values that we possess and whether or not they are beneficial.
Many of us go through life absorbing values from the family of origin, environments, life experiences, etc. However, there comes a point where it is a good idea to reassess the values we operate from…with an adult perspective, and this is possible with the influence of Venus in Capricorn.
Consider during this transit if the values you hold are beneficial to building a life that is successful. A consideration of the values you currently hold gives you a reality check to determine if changes need to be made to your existing value system so that you can build a life that is aligned with who you truly are.
With Venus in Capricorn, a review of the lessons that you currently hold is important. It is quite possible that this transit will offer understanding about how the values in your life have impacted you overall especially as it relates to love and money. If you are aware enough to integrate and apply these lessons about your value system to your life, you will experience the ability to apply these values for your own success. If not, you may find that you will continue to repeat the same lessons until you realize that a value system overhaul and change is necessary courtesy of Venus in Capricorn.
IMPORTANT FULL MOON LINK
RULER OF THE TAURUS FULL MOON
This Venus in Capricorn transit is significant in its influence as it is the ruler of the upcoming full moon in Taurus. Given that Taurus’ ruler is Venus, this is coming to terms with yourself about the values that you hold, where they came from, and whether they are conducive to building a foundation for your life that is successful and authentic to who you are. Also, given that new and full moon cycles are inherently linked, the revelations that occur under this full moon in Taurus are associated with the new moon in Scorpio intentions of purging the past selves to become a new, transformed, evolved self.
Please use this energy with accountability and responsibility to identify what is and what is not working for you. The value system reality check provided by Venus in Capricorn is pivotal in learning lessons that will allow you to take action and make changes so that you can establish a new, improved value system (full moon in Taurus) that is based on your new, transformed, evolved self (new moon in Scorpio).
VENUS IN CAPRICORN CONSIDERATIONS
As with any astrological energy, there are some considerations and precautions for
the Venus in Capricorn transit.
CONDITIONS
This transit brings the possibility of conditions. Capricorn/Saturn rules limitations and boundaries and connected with Venus, this can show up as conditional love, finances, and value systems. You know this by the following:
I will love you if….or under these circumstances….
I will give you a job, money, income if…or under these circumstances…
I will value you if…or under these circumstances…
This doesn’t sound good, does it? That’s the thing about Capricorn/Saturn. It makes clear the limitations that are associated with whatever it touches so that you can experience the lack thereof to learn a lesson and make changes that actually better your life.
Please know that you deserve to be loved, financially abundant, and valued without having to compromise yourself.
BURDENED & OBLIGATED
There is a heaviness to Venus in Capricorn due to the Saturn influence where being in a relationship and being loved can feel like a burden. There could be a sense of obligation to a partner and/or relationship. In some cases, Venus/Saturn is the glue that holds a relationship for the long haul, but this is not always a positive if the relationship feels more like a chore than the success that Venus in Capricorn desires. Just a heads. Analyze whether you are dedicated to relationships due to obligation or a true desire to be committed to another for the betterment of all parties.
This also applies to finances. Look to see where you feel burdened and obligated when it comes to finances and income-earning ventures especially in relationship to others.
CONTROL
Since Venus in Capricorn has a detailed plan for love, finances, and personal values, this can result in wanting control to ensure that the plan goes as planned. Here’s the issue…trying to control others can lead to dissatisfaction by other parties…It can even lead to those conditions that were mentioned earlier where in order to get the desired end result either you or another party will set stipulations to obtaining love and finances. Just a heads up.
ALL WORK & NO PLAY
Venus in Capricorn is SERIOUS about love and money, so serious that at times it can feel like it’s all about being successful without any of the benefits of being a success. For example, a relationship that feels more like a business than a loving partnership, or a person that works so much to be successful that they don’t even have time to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Make some time to enjoy the successful partnerships and financial abundance that you have created and established for yourself.
Venus in Capricorn brings three weeks of Saturn’s influence to love, finances, and personal values. It’s time to take your love life, finances, and value system seriously and take the necessary actions to create a plan for success. This energy wants something REAL and TANGIBLE with a PLAN that ensures that love, finances, and value systems can lead to desired results.
Some will find that their associations (romantic and professional) provide the conditions for success and will move forward. Others will determine that a distancing from certain associations is best to secure the grounded, successful romantic, monetary, professional, and value-based systems desired.
In either case, Venus in Capricorn will ensure that you are moving from a place of reality with lessons hopefully applied to obtain the relationships, finances, and value systems that are successful for you and your partner(s).
