Transit Venus Sextile Jupiter: Small Chances, Big Smiles

Transit Venus sextile Jupiter appears when Venus forms a supportive sixty-degree angle to natal Jupiter. The sextile opens a door a crack, but walking through it is up to the person. People are more helpful and the mood more hopeful; whoever asks the right question improves the odds of a yes.

How long does transit Venus sextile Jupiter last?

Two or three days. It is felt as Venus approaches, becomes clear at the exact sextile and then fades quickly. Venus usually makes this aspect twice a year. Since it is brief, planning a few small steps for those days is more realistic than expecting a major transformation.

Relationships, learning and money

Consulting a mentor, asking for a reference, writing to a friend abroad are typical good uses of this aspect. For couples, a weekend getaway or a talk about a shared dream strengthens the bond. On the money side, a small discount, an extra order or a fair deal may turn up. There is a light breeze, too, for starting a philosophy, art or language course. In retrograde years this sextile can repeat a few weeks apart, bringing back an invitation missed the first time.

Keeping the door open

This aspect has little shadow; the real risk is letting the chance pass unnoticed. Put one "ask" on the list for these days: an offer, an invitation, an application. The houses ruled by natal Jupiter, the parts of the chart where Sagittarius and Pisces fall, may meet a little support in these days as well.
