Last night I read a passage about relationship astrology and an example was given regarding Venus in the 7th house and a love interest showing up.

Out of curiosity I checked my chart and found Venus currently in MY 7th house. Am I supposed to be meeting a great love interest? When exactly did this energy start? I looked back and  found that it entered my 7th house the last day I set foot outside my own home, the day my family officially started self quarantine.  (NOTE: this is written during COVID-19 times).

But that’s the great (sometimes whacky) thing about astrology. Your chart is potential energy and it can manifest in so many ways. The 7th house can be a romantic relationship, but it can also indicate any 1:1 interpersonal relationship you have.  Venus is the planet that rules love, but it also rules over emotional values and beauty.

So what else could this transit be?

Well, maybe it’s me getting to spend more time with my family in general. I recently had a baby and my other young child has definitely felt the change. Since she’s no longer in school (COVID closures) we’ve had a lot of time to spend together. I know she needed this and I’ve really loved all the extra cuddle time I’m getting with her. Also, without the structure of a daily schedule I have the freedom to fit in this quality time almost on demand and without time restrictions which can be challenging during regular life hours (and with a newborn). 

This transit could also be me and my partner getting a breather from life demands with a new baby. We have time to intentionally find our new normal before being thrust back into the grind.

Being at home during the transit of Venus through my 7th house is definitely all about finding love. It’s letting me build up a stronger foundation for my personal relationships that had recently been struggling. It fulfilled an emotional void I didn’t even realize I was missing.

When you see transits about to happen in your chart don’t be afraid to look past the conventional expectation of what it could mean. These energies are potentials and it’s up to us to give them a reality.
