Sun Conjunct Venus
General Effects

– Creative inspiration comes easier. There can be a greater propensity to take on creative projects and work on artistic hobbies
Some possible challenges or drawbacks:
– Being too dependent on others’ approval or validation. Craving for attention.
– Can “Go along to get along”, or “sweep things under the rug” to please others
– Some of those affected may be too indulgent or extravagant. They may overeat, overspend, or overdo anything that makes them feel good “in the moment”. There can certainly be an inclination toward laziness as well.
– One’s kindness and generosity can be taken advantage of.
As a natal transit (Transit Sun conjunct Natal Venus)
The transit Sun conjunct to natal Venus will affect the houses that Venus is in – as well as the houses that Venus rules. Look for house cusps in the signs of Taurus and Libra.
Examples
Natal Venus in 4th house, Taurus on 2nd house cusp: One might feel inspired to beautify their home and overspend on new décor.
Natal Venus in 6th house, Libra on 3rd cusp: Can have enjoyable interactions with co-workers.
This is a short-term transit in effect for only a couple of days. I give it about a 2-degree orb of influence on either side. As with all transits, the applying conjunction is thought to be strongest.
