Expect the Unexpected in Love and Romance

October 31, 2023



At 5:51 a.m.: Venus is trine Uranus

In the morning, Venus trines Uranus in Taurus, foreshadowing surprise attractions! While Venus transits methodical Virgo, we have high standards when it comes to romance. Because we put a premium on preferences and tastes, we might assume that our “type” is set in stone.  Yet Venus’ aspect to unpredictable Uranus disrupts our expectations, inspiring connections that are unorthodox and exciting! We might wind up dating someone with controversial beliefs, eccentric tastes, or a weird job. Sexual experimentation can lead to the discovery of a new kink! Love affairs stretch our minds, stimulate our senses, and help us to quit a comfort zone that may be too confining and rigid.  However, these dalliances are unlikely to last long. It’s not that we’ll retreat to the familiar, only that we’ll discover that we had our established preferences for a reason! This transit can also inspire us to pick a unique hobby, switch up our style, or adopt a new aesthetic. 

At 2:06 p.m.: The moon is sextile Chiron

Mid-afternoon, the Gemini moon sextiles Chiron in Aries, engendering healing. Old insecurities are put to bed. Conversations with friends or parents provide us with improved confidence to face our fears and own our talents.  On the heels of the Venus-Uranus trine, we’re in a more experimental mood. Leaving behind the status quo to try new things doesn’t seem so scary. We realize that by changing our minds, we change our reality. Releasing an unhealthy pattern or fixation on an old wound may now be as simple as choosing to direct our attention elsewhere!
