This week in astrology, relationships are expected to take a more grounded and serious approach thanks to the influence of Venus in Capricorn. That will be a warm welcome amid the intensity of Mercury in Sagittarius (heating up our communication) and Leo in Mars (stirring up passionate forward movement where there might’ve previously been stagnancy). The Earthy influence will only continue with the Full Moon in Taurus on Nov. 15, which will provide an opportunity to release any pent up emotions that’ve surfaced for you throughout this cycle. Keep reading for how you can make the most of Venus in Capricorn through understanding the aspects that will occur along the way and taking notes from celebrities who have this placement in their birth chart – such as exes Lori Harvey and Michael B. Jordan.
Venus in Capricorn Reminds Us That Only Fools Rush In
Venus (which changes signs every 20 to 45 days) entered the tenth sign of the zodiac on Nov. 11, where it will remain until Dec. 7. As People notes, some alignments along the way will provide the ideal opportunity for making future plans in your love life, such as Nov. 22, when Venus will be sextile Saturn in Pisces. If you’re not focused on finding a relationship at this time, this energy can still work to your benefit in platonic connections or career elevation. Days before Venus in Capricorn ends, on Dec. 2, the planet of love, art and beauty will be trine Uranus, “reinvigorating a sense of excitement and spontaneity” amid the serious Earth sign’s influence.
Capricorn is linked to the tenth house of aspiration and achievement, explaining any sudden desires to reach new heights in all areas. While you might’ve felt adventurous during the recent Venus in Sagittarius transit, here it can feel more exciting to lean into meaningful connection and commitment instead of taking risks and adventuring on your own. If nothing else, Venus in Capricorn is an ideal time to build solid foundations for your future. “This transit calls us to step up and accept responsibility for our personal and financial choices while also understanding how patriarchal conditioning has led us to where we are,” the NY Post explains.
Don’t be surprised if you suddenly notice yourself prioritizing stability and pouring your energy into things you know will bear fruit in the long term. If your Higher Self knows something won’t stand the test of time, you will have a hard time connecting with it throughout Venus in Capricorn. The notoriously hardworking sign is ruled by Saturn; in tandem, these energies highlight “the beauty in responsibility and the value of hard work.” Next time you pick up your journal, ponder how these themes are surfacing in your life right now and what your relationship is to working and receiving.
Celebrities With Their Venus in Capricorn
One lesson you can count on someone with Venus in Cap to teach you is responsibility and show you where you need to take yourself more seriously. This manifests in many forms, from relationships that are the product of alleged business deals and contracts to making millions off the creation of a medical workplace drama series that boasts one of the most famous TV love stories of all time. While everyday Venusian Capricorns might not experience this energy in such extremes, these celebrities perfectly embody what it’s like to view romance through the eyes of a profit-minded strategist that (usually) would rather work than play.
Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey
Not so long ago, there was a time when pop culture fanatics thought that Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey were end game. The picture perfect pair only had a few red carpet appearances together before their seemingly solid bond quickly wrapped, leaving followers confused and searching for answers. According to Charmaine Bey, the famous pair could’ve started out as nothing more than a PR relationship, although she believes they “fell in love” while spending time together to fulfill their image-enhancing obligations. “The word on the street is, that Michael B Jordan was ready to get serious and Lori wasn’t,” the blogger reported back in 2022.
If the rumors are true, it’s not at all surprising to learn that the model and Black Panther actor are both Venus in Capricorn. While Harvey’s business-savvy attitude in love goes well with her Capricorn Sun, Jordan might experience conflict and confusion internally with his Aquarius Sun, Cancer Moon, Pisces Mercury and Aries Mars. On one hand, this explains his natural talent for expressive acting, but Harvey’s Libra Mars could easily become overwhelmed by such an intense partner.
Shonda Rhimes
Shonda Rhimes is the mind behind TV shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Bridgerton, and we argue that her success is at least in part due to her Venus in Capricorn. The 54-year-old, like Harvey, has a stellium (three or more placements) in the Saturn-ruled sign, making its mark on her energetic blueprint extra strong. If anyone can take a fictional world and turn it into a TV empire with all the romance and drama fans are craving to binge, it’s Rhimes.
