Venus enters Sagittarius from October 17 through November 11 encouraging you to expand your horizons when it comes to love, money and your personal values. This is a great time to seek out people who offer you a different perspective and experience people who are different and foreign to you. There could be a tendency to prefer interactions with individuals who possess higher values such as an interest in the philosophical or religious. Just make sure to watch out for excess, doing too much, exaggeration, always seeking more to the detriment of the self, and being noncommittal.

A FOREIGN INFLUENCE
BENEFITTING FROM SOMETHING DIFFERENT
With Venus in Sagittarius, there is a preference for foreign influences. When it comes to relationships, this transit could bring an interest in people from places foreign and distant from your own. You could choose to expand your dating pool to include people of other races, ethnicities, socioeconomic, and religious and philosophical backgrounds.
This preference for the foreign is often propelled by Jupiter’s influence on Sagittarius. Jupiter is expansive and enjoys broadening its perspective, and with Venus transiting Sagittarius, being open to cultural engagement and expanding oneself through interactions with people, especially partners of different backgrounds is encouraged.
LOVE ON THE RUN
SOWING WILD OATS
When it comes to love, for Venus in Sagittarius freedom is a must. During this transit, you may feel the need for space that allows you to explore your life and get back to your amor on your own terms. You may also prefer a touch of fiery engagement from love interests at this time. Someone that gets you going and keeps you on your toes. You’ll likely prefer someone that moves you beyond the usual and gets you to be active. Perhaps a nature lover that enjoys hiking or someone that enjoys traveling.
It is important to note that Venus in Sagittarius is a stimulating, mutable energy that requires variety to keep its interest. Boredom can set in quickly which can result in a wandering eye. Just a heads up. One expression of Venus in Sagittarius is “sowing one’s wild oats.” Since Sagittarius/Jupiter energy is expansive, this transit could present opportunities to numerous romantic/sexual escapades if so desired. If you would like to experience this, just make sure to be honest (Sagittarius/Jupiter rules honesty) so that everyone is aware of your intentions, and there are no misunderstandings.
A HIGHER PERSPECTIVE
MONEY & VALUES
In terms of money and values, you could find success in foreign investments and considering and even adopting cultural, philosophical, and religious influences to your advantage (Jupiter/Sagittarius).
Because Sagittarius rules the “higher mind,” this transit can bring the desire to explore different belief systems and apply them to your existing value system. Even if you were previously someone that was pretty set in your ways, expansion is possible by considering perspectives that move you beyond what you commonly know. The Venus in Sagittarius transit is also an excellent time to consider taking on higher/advanced education for personal edification or to increase (Jupiter) your earnings (Venus).
JUPITER’S ABUNDANCE
MORE OF THE GOOD THINGS
Venus in Sagittarius may have you feeling like you can have it all when it comes to love and money. The desire to have a lot of money, a lot of love, a lot of partners…just a lot of everything is prevalent. In general, Sagittarius energy always looks on the bright side with its eternal optimism. You’ll discover that the more you hold the energy that abundance is your default in love, money, and personal values this is what you’ll experience.
During this transit, you are likely to be quite generous with all things Venus. Your love. Your money. Sharing your personal values with others (just beware of being preachy and haughty). Just make sure that your generosity is within your means, and you will be all good.
VENUS IN SAGITTARIUS CONSIDERATIONS
As with any astrological energy, there are some considerations and precautions for
the Venus in Sagittarius transit.
NON-COMMITTAL
Because Sagittarius energy expands beyond itself, Venus in Sagittarius could be slow to commit because there are so many other people to experience. Pushing someone to commit during this transit isn’t the best idea. Mutability when it comes to love is recommended.
FIERCELY INDEPENDENT
Venus in Sagittarius is not a clingy energy. Some will require more space during this transit. If you are seeking to connect with others, especially romantically, opt for interdependence as opposed to codependence. Being too clingy and emotionally needy could be perceived as a turnoff during this transit.
EXAGGERATION
Beware of presenting yourself as more than what you are in regards to Venus themes. If you make $50,000 a year, telling a date that you earn two or three times that is an exaggeration. It’s commendable to have values that you hold dear, but please beware of being overly haughty or self-righteous about your personal values i.e. preaching to the choir, expecting people to live up to your elevated perspective.
ALWAYS SEEKING MORE
Venus in Sagittarius possesses a wanderlust quality that when combined with Jupiterian expansion can result in always seeking more. More money, more lovers, more travel, more of whatever is abundant and good. There’s nothing wrong with being eternally optimistic and forward moving. However, it is important to be mindful of excess. Sagittarius connected to any planet has the potential to overdue that planetary trait to the point where the excess outweighs the benefits. Just a heads up.
Venus in Sagittarius brings three weeks of Jupiter-ruled optimism in love, money, and personal values. Allow the influence of Jupiter to introduce you to new, interesting people from different backgrounds, expansive ways to increase your money and assets, and expansive perspectives that elevate your mind. Just be careful with the tendency for excess.
