October 9 - 23, 2025: Debilitated Venus in Virgo (Until Nov 1) and Mutual Exchange with Mercury
Venus is our planet of happiness and ease, so when she is in her least favorite sign and position of debilitation, our capacity to compromise and be agreeable lessens dramatically.
It’s actually pretty easy to understand why Venus dislikes Virgo so much despite being friends with its ruler, Mercury.
Virgo represents the house of hard work and effort. It's the things we need to do but don't necessarily want to do.
These are the ugly and dirty jobs that Venus wants nothing to do with.
Venus is associated with love, beauty, and comfort, so the idea of taking out the trash or cleaning the toilet is not very appealing.
However, there is much to be learned when Venus transits Virgo, because its when we least want to do something that gives us the ultimate power to overcome.
And Virgo is all about overcoming a problem.
Its ruler, Mercury, uses logic and reason to get into the details and really figure out how to make something systematic.
Just like a routine, Virgo is where order and process take effort.
It's really the house of due diligence.
Doing what needs to be done but without overdoing it.
There is a sweet spot where a little chaos leaves room for creativity and new ideas.
Venus is the karaka of relationships, so when she is debilitated, the people in our lives can become a real issue.
At least that's how we may feel during this brief but month-long transit.
Venus is the planet of what we want and how we feel appreciated, so when she is in Virgo, that capacity to share and sacrifice comes with a lot more stimulation.
We may be more demanding in relationships as we start to feel unappreciated for our efforts.
We may be less willing to compromise because we have already sacrificed more than we prefer.
These are all things that can come up because Venus is in Virgo, where she is uncomfortable and unwilling to go above and beyond for the sake of keeping the peace.
Virgo is a Tamassic sign, which deals with ignorance.
This ignorance refers to being in a lower vibration, one that is below what is the highest good, and even below one's desires.
Tamassic energy is about survival and meeting the most basic and primal needs.
For Venus, this is a dark and dingy place that lacks beauty and creativity, and devotion.
Instead, we are dedicated to the physical needs, such as eating and sleeping.
Let's look at each Ascendant and see where these Venus and Virgo energies are impacting.
Aries - Virgo is your 6th house of effort, hard work, health, debts, and enemies. So there is a lot of challenging energy here, but your ruling planet, Mars, does well here, so you can find the courage to overcome. Venus rules your 2nd and 7th houses, so themes of relationships, family, finances, and speech all come up for you at this time. These areas of life might require more attention and responsibility during this transit, even though you are not feeling up to it. But a little effort goes a long way when we are talking about Venus in Virgo. Try to embrace the boundaries Virgo is placing on your happiness, and look for the beauty in your daily routines. Perspective is everything, and reframing challenges as opportunities to bring more organization to your finances and commitments will make this transition feel painless.
Taurus - Virgo is your 5th house of children, creativity, and where you like to have fun and express yourself. This is usually a house of ease and enjoyment. Still, because your ruling planet, Venus, is debilitated here, this area of life can feel somewhat stressful at times due to your self-criticism and need for perfection. Venus also rules your 6th house of Libra, so in addition to themes of self and your physical body, relationships, compromise, and commitment come up for you at this time. These areas of life may require more attention and responsibility during this transit, even if you don't feel up to the task. Because such a heavy focus is on your 5th house, try embracing some Pisces energy to balance things out. If you are feeling overwhelmed or burdened by the need always to be the responsible one, consider where you can let go of control, and things won’t completely fall apart. It's okay to let loose and still express yourself in a way that feels authentic. Try to embrace the 80/20 rule when you are being creative or interacting with your children. Instead of striving for perfection, take the pressure off yourself and have a little fun too.
Gemini - Virgo is your 4th house of home, mother, peace of mind, and where you go in private. This is a Kendra house, which makes the Virgo energies a foundational part of your life. Because your ruling planet, Mercury, is exalted here, this transit of Venus in your 4th house is not so bad. Venus loves the 4th house and feels at home there. Venus rules your 5th and 12th houses, so themes of creativity, happiness, children, expenses, loss, and solitude all come up for you at this time, especially in your home life. Because Venus is debilitated here, these areas of life might feel more challenging than usual, like you have to put in more effort, or the list of responsibilities feels too long. A way to balance out this pressure is to go with the flow more, especially at work or in public settings where you are visible. Embracing a bit of chaos outside the home can help strike a balance at home.
Cancer - Virgo is your 3rd house of courage, effort, and special interests. This is an upachaya house, meaning that the transit becomes easier over time. Your ruling planet, Moon, can be a worrywart in your 3rd house, which can influence your ability to exert confidence. Emotional control can sometimes require more effort than usual. Venus rules your 4th and 11th houses, so themes related to home, emotional connection, personal life, friendships, and your life goals can all come to the forefront for you at this time, especially in your communications. Because Venus is debilitated here, these areas of life might feel like more of a burden than usual. Use this time to tap into your intuition and inner wisdom. If you find yourself in a situation that requires courage, try to embrace the feminine energies of this axis and flow with what you believe and know, rather than trying to see what else you need to control and manage.
Leo - Virgo is your 2nd house of speech, finances, and independence. This is an artha house, meaning that this transit will impact how you bring prosperity into your life. Your ruling planet, the Sun, brings confidence into how you solve problems and overcome, especially around themes of money. Venus rules your 3rd and 10th houses, so themes of self-effort, courage, reputation, and career all come up for you at this time. Because Venus is debilitated here, these areas of life might be a bigger source of stress than usual, like you have to try harder to save money or handle family situations. A way to balance out this energy is to embrace a little chaos and step out of your comfort zone. Try something unexpected or ask someone else for some advice. Trust that you ultimately know what is best for you and your situation.
Virgo - Virgo is your 1st house of Self, physical body, and appearance. This is a Dharma, Kendra, and Trinal house, meaning that this transit can impact every area of life for you in some way. Your ruling planet, Mercury, thrives in your 1st house. Practicality and common sense are your superpowers. Venus rules your 2nd and 9th houses, so themes of money, family, speech, values, and beliefs all come up for you at this time. Because Venus is debilitated in your first house, these areas of life can feel extra challenging at this time, and you could just feel less enthusiastic in general. You may be more worried than usual about finances or your beliefs right now. A way to balance out this energy is to look to your relationships. Trusting the people close to you can take the burden off your mind when you let go of the need to be perfect all the time.
Libra - Virgo is your 12th house of Surrender, expenses, and solitude. This is a dusthana house, where one deals with loss by letting go of material desires in exchange for spiritual ones. Your ruling planet, Venus, does well in the 12th as it is associated with her sign of exaltation, Pisces. Venus rules your 1st and 8th house, so themes of self, physical body, emotional attachments, transformation, and hidden knowledge all come up for you at this time. Because Venus is debilitated in your 12th house, these areas of life could come into focus or be a source of stress and worry for you at this time, possibly around extra expenses. A way to balance this energy is to embrace your 6th house of Pisces. Devoting yourself to your daily routine and remaining consistent in your efforts can provide clarity and support.
Scorpio - Virgo is your 11th house of friends, aspirations, and gains. As an upachaya house, the qualities of Venus here will improve over time as it transits through the sign. Mars, your ruling planet, overcomes obstacles and defeats enemies in Virgo. Venus rules your 7th and 12th houses, so themes of relationships, commitments, solitude, and surrender are all coming up for you at this time. Because Venus is debilitated in your 11th house, these areas of life could come into focus and may feel heavy with responsibility, especially around any success or big goals you have. You can balance this energy by embracing your 5th house of Pisces, where there is creativity and relaxation. Additionally, spending time with your child can help ease any pressures you're feeling during this transition.
Sagittarius - Virgo is your 10th house of Career and reputation. This is a Kendra house, which makes the Virgo energies a foundational part of your life. Your ruling planet, Jupiter, is neutral in Virgo, and shows how you are practical and have a strong sense of responsibility, especially in your career. Venus rules your 6th and 11th houses, so themes of health, hard work, friendships, and aspirations are coming up for you at this time. Because Venus is debilitated in your 10th house, all these areas of life could come into focus for you at this time and bring more work and responsibility, especially in your career. You can bring some balance into this transit by embracing your 4th house of Pisces, letting loose at home and taking time to let go.

Your ruling planet, Saturn, does well in Virgo, as it is a friendly sign. Venus rules your 5th and 10th houses, so themes of creativity, children, and reputation and career are all coming up for you at this time. Because Venus is debilitated in your 9th house, all these areas of life could feel heavier at this time, or require more effort than you care to exert. To balance this energy, try embracing your 3rd house of Pisces by letting go through reading or writing, or engaging in a hobby that allows you to flow more freely.

Venus rules your 4th and 9th houses, so themes of home, emotional connections, beliefs, and higher learning are all coming up for you at this time. Because Venus is debilitated in your 8th house, all of these areas of life could be a source of change or feel like they are breaking down in some way, or harbor some hidden information. You can balance this energy by embracing your 2nd house of Pisces, and focusing on bringing in resources for yourself and family through your creativity and intuition.
Pisces - Virgo is your 7th house of relationships and commitments. This is a Kendra house, which makes the Virgo energies a foundational part of your life.

Balance this energy by embracing your 1st house of Pisces, flow like water, and avoid trying to manage what is out of your control.
