October starts off with a spark as Venus reaches its perihelion on the 2nd, drawing closer to the Sun than at any other point in its orbit.
The orbit is almost circular, and the distance barely changes. But astrologically? It matters.
Venus, goddess of love, beauty, and desire, is suddenly bathed in more of the Sun’s raw energy.
Her voice gets louder, her pulse stronger, her influence brighter.
This is Venus with the volume up, pressing you to see your relationships, values, and self-worth with sharper eyes. And if you’ve been pretending, this energy calls your bluff.
1. Aries
Aries, Venus at perihelion ignites your heart like a match to paper.
Suddenly, things you were okay brushing aside—mixed signals, lukewarm affection, relationships that don’t challenge or inspire—become impossible to ignore.
You crave 诚信, 行动, 激情, and if you’re not getting it, you’ll feel restless and done with pretending.
This could look like a bold declaration, a sudden realization, or the decision to finally close a chapter that’s been dragging.
And while endings sting, your fire thrives on fresh starts.
2. Taurus
Taurus, this one’s personal because Venus rules you. At perihelion, it’s as if you’re standing closer to the Sun too, lit up and unmistakably radiant.
You might feel raw but magnetic, hungry for something real.
The comfort you usually crave won’t cut it if it feels shallow. Old routines might bore you, and people who don’t understand your need for depth might start to fade into the background.
What you want is intimacy that feels like 真理.
Whether it comes through another person or through you sinking deeper into your own desires, you won’t settle for anything less.
3. Gemini
Gemini, you’re usually quick to float between curiosities and connections, but this energy slows you down and demands 焦点.
Venus perihelion draws you inward, away from surface-level noise and into deeper questions like what really lights you up, and what you’re wasting your time on.
Interactions with others might feel sharper than usual. It’s not always comfortable, but it’s clarifying.
And in the middle of all this, your natural magnetism is heightened.
You draw in people who want more than just a good laugh, they want to see the real you.
4. Cancer
Cancer, you’re used to tides pulling you in emotional directions, but this feels different. Venus burning close to the Sun highlights where you’ve been giving too much or not enough.
The spotlight shines on 边界, and you might suddenly notice how much energy you pour into relationships that don’t feed you back. There’s no more pretending it doesn’t matter.
And though part of you may want to cling, another part craves liberation.
You may find yourself stepping back, not to withdraw, but to reclaim your sense of safety.
Trust your intuition—it’s your compass now.
5. Leo
Leo, you live for light and warmth, and this transit feels like your season inside of October.
Venus at perihelion reminds you of the difference between 爱 和 注意. Sure, you might have people admiring you, but do they really see you?
The questions come up now, and the answers might very well surprise you.
The heat of this Venus energy burns away superficial flattery, leaving you craving connection that has substance.
You’ll also feel a creative spark like never before, as if your art, your ideas, your love language are all louder, more colorful, more impossible to ignore.
So, let yourself shine, but let it be real.
6. Virgo
Virgo, you’re usually practical, grounded, and careful with your heart, but this energy presses you to stop hiding behind analysis (especially over-analysis).
Venus this close to the Sun strips away the polish and perfectionism, leaving you face-to-face with what feels authentic.
The person that may seem perfect on paper, well, maybe they don’t hold up under the light. Or maybe someone you overlooked suddenly feels undeniable.
It’s less about the ideal and more about the truth. And yes, drama may surface, because reality isn’t always neat.
But Venus at perihelion is asking you to embrace the messy, the raw, the real.
7. Libra
Libra, this is your season and your ruler is at its loudest. You’re magnetic right now, almost glowing, but it comes with 强度.
Relationships that have been coasting on charm may suddenly feel too thin, while connections with depth feel irresistible. You’re craving more than balance—you want transformation.
This can look like playful experimentation, bold choices, or putting yourself out there in ways you usually hesitate.
The Sun and Venus amplify your desire to be seen, loved, cherished, but not just in passing.
You want the kind of love that mirrors back your own brilliance and forces you to grow.
8. Scorpio
Scorpio, Venus at perihelion presses 所有 your intimacy buttons. You don’t just want love—you want the kind of connection that leaves no stone unturned, no shadow ignored.
Surface-level romance feels empty now, and you’re likely to find yourself diving into conversations and dynamics that feel more like soul work than small talk.
It’s both intoxicating and exhausting. But you wouldn’t have it any other way.
If power struggles creep in, you’ll see them more clearly than ever, and you’ll be asked to decide whether to transform them or burn them down.
Either way, your heart comes out lighter.
9. Sagittarius
Sagittarius, this energy feels like a spark of 自由. You’ve been through enough shifts lately to know what doesn’t work, and Venus at perihelion brings that realization home.
You crave connections that expand you, people who make you feel alive rather than tied down.
Adventure might come in the form of travel, but it could just as easily be an emotional leap.
Relationships that are too rigid or shallow will feel unbearable now.
You’re ready for something that lights you up and challenges you to grow. And when you find it, you’ll dive in headfirst, no hesitation.
10. Capricorn
Capricorn, Venus burning this close to the Sun shakes up your carefully built walls.
You’ve been good at keeping love and ambition in separate lanes, but this transit asks if that’s really working.
Suddenly, the cracks show, and you might realize that the relationships you’ve sidelined in favor of success are demanding attention. There’s no hiding behind work now.
Love feels bigger, louder, more insistent. And while vulnerability isn’t your favorite, this energy rewards 公开性.
Letting yourself be seen in your softer moments could be the most powerful move you make all month.
11. Aquarius
Aquarius, Venus at perihelion amplifies your hunger for something 不同的.
You don’t want predictable right now. You don’t want the script. You crave connections that surprise you, that stretch your heart into new shapes.
This might mean experimenting with relationships, or it might mean finally admitting to yourself what you’ve always wanted but never said out loud.
The perihelion energy has a way of stripping away the cool detachment you’re famous for, leaving you exposed, vulnerable, real.
As scary as that feels, it’s also 解放. You’re more magnetic when you’re unguarded.
12. Pisces
Pisces, your heart has always been tuned to subtle frequencies, but Venus at perihelion cranks the volume. Now, your dreams and your desires overlap in intense, undeniable ways.
Love feels like destiny, even in fleeting moments. You may find yourself pulled toward people who feel like old souls, familiar in ways you can’t explain.
But there’s also a risk here: diving so deep into fantasy that you lose yourself.
The gift of this transit is 清晰度, seeing where your tenderness is a strength, and where it needs boundaries. You’re magnetic, enchanting, irresistible right now.
Just remember to keep one foot on the ground while you swim.
