What Venus Square Uranus Means for Your Zodiac Sign

Just when you thought you had your love life under control, a wild card enters the chat!

On Sept. 20, Venus will clash with rebellious Uranus, the planet of chaos, breakthroughs and unexpected change. Sparks will fly as the cosmos shakes things up — disruption and detours force us to see what (and who) is really worth our time and energy.

While journeying through the meticulous sign of Virgo — an Earth sign that values practicality and discernment — the love planet isn’t easily swayed by grand gestures. On the contrary, it pays close attention to the little things that make love last.

It’s because of this that we are collectively prone to noticing the details and accountability (or lack thereof) surrounding relationships, finances and commitments at this time. In Virgo, Venus is grounded and humble, reminding us that beauty often lies in what we tend to daily. 

As for Uranus retrograde in Gemini, this is the opposite side of the spectrum, considering it couldn’t care less about routines. The change-maker planet is rewiring the way we think, connect and communicate.

Gemini is restless, curious and fickle, and with the “Great Awakener” retracing its steps in this Air sign, revelations and reversals are likely to come through in conversations, messages and information we stumble across.

Also, its retrograde energy adds an element of review and surprise, as if the cosmos was pulling receipts and rewriting old narratives.

When Venus in Virgo squares Uranus retrograde in Gemini, there will be friction between the desire for order and discernment versus the pull toward radical change.

For instance, this could manifest as a sudden attraction that disrupts your conservative dating life or an unexpected expense that completely throws off your tidy budget. On another note, a significant conversation could alter your perception of love and romance, or simply flip the script on your relationship overnight.

You might think you have it all figured out, but Venus square Uranus is bringing the plot twist.

For now, read on for what Venus square Uranus means for your zodiac sign.

Aries (March 20-April 19)

Disruption in your routines and communications is almost inevitable, Aries. Whether it’s a surprise text throwing off your carefully curated regimen or a work e-mail that leaves you at the edge of your seat, the key is to remain flexible. What feels like an inconvenience could end up sparking a fun new connection.

Taurus (April 19-May 20)

There is no budget when it comes to your joy, Taurus. Your celestial ruler, Venus, is a main character in this tricky square, making your money and love life collide in unexpected ways. Maybe a date night costs more than you planned or you splurge on something that feels too good to pass up. Fulfillment shouldn’t be compromised.

Gemini (May 20-June 20)

Your desire for freedom could be at odds with logistics on the home front, Gemini. So if life feels like a game of musical chairs — whether a result of a roommate changing plans or a significant other throwing a curve ball — the disruption could be a blessing in disguise. Even your own mood swings could surprise you, so take a second to get fresh air if needed.

Cancer (June 20-July 22)

The conversations you’re having could lead to an unexpected change of heart, Cancer. Whether it’s a casual chat with a sibling or a close friend in your inner circle, you’re seeing something differently — it’s surprising to say the least. Pay attention, as the smallest observation could inspire a shift in how you move and connect with others in your daily life.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 22)

Your values are being tested in unexpected ways, Leo. An outing with friends could disrupt your sense of security, while others of you consider splurging on a community affair. In any event, the cosmos is nudging you to step out of your comfort zone, and your challenge lies in not being afraid to say “no” if something doesn’t feel worth it.

Virgo (Aug. 22-Sept. 22)

You’re glowing in the spotlight, but things aren’t necessarily going as planned, Virgo. Whether professionally or regarding your sense of authority, a surprise twist could change the way you’re being perceived, or, on another note, take someone off the pedestal you once put them on. In any event, the disruption pushes you toward authenticity.

Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 22)

Your intuition is speaking to you in unexpected ways, Libra. This is especially true with your celestial ruler, Venus, journeying through your 12th house of secrets and subconscious realms. Still, something could come up behind the scenes that catches your attention. Whatever it is, don’t disregard it — you’re being called to trust your intuition and lean into the mystical side of things, even if it contradicts your logical mind.

Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 21)

Never say never, Scorpio — developments arise in your social networks that transform you in ways you never imagined. Whether in terms of friendships or finances, a group discussion or effort could take a turn, or you may find yourself investing in a cause. On a brighter note, a new contract may open doors in ways you never saw coming. Keep an open mind.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22–Dec. 21)

You’re flipping the script, Sagittarius. Your public persona or professional trajectory could hit a dead end, nudging you to shake things up and go against the status quo. Perhaps a boss changes your role or maybe you get surprising feedback from a mentor. In any event, despite being thrown off course, it’s an opportunity to pivot toward something exciting.

Capricorn (Dec. 21-Jan. 19)

Your beliefs are being tested, but nothing is coincidental, Capricorn. Whether in terms of travel or education, the disruption of logistics may result in you feeling inspired to explore a brand-new path, one that is in alignment with the person (or professional) you’re becoming. New intel around your daily rituals and health habits may also serve as a lightbulb moment.

Aquarius (Jan. 19-Feb. 18)

The foundation shared between you and a significant other could be on shaky ground, Aquarius. Whether personally or professionally, someone’s money situation could change unexpectedly, leaving you with no choice but to embrace a new plan and strategy. Instead of resisting, do your best to embrace the new dynamic of your relationship, as it could deepen trust in surprising ways.

Pisces (Feb. 18-March 20)

Your relationships and exchanges are anything but predictable these days, but have no fear, Pisces. A significant other could catch you off guard with a bold statement, while others of you partake in conversations that influence the dynamics of your connection. Disruptive and all, it’s an opportunity to see matters of love, romance and commitment with a fresh perspective.
