The Art of Indulgence: Venus in Libra Squares Jupiter in Cancer.

From October 31st until November 5th 2025, the sky carries a glowing tension between Venus

in Libra and Jupiter in Cancer. The energy peaks between the night of November 2nd and the morning of November 3rd, just before the Full Moon in Taurus, on the 5th, a moon ruled by Venus herself. It is a moment of sweetness and excess, of beauty meeting generosity, of love expanding faster than we can hold it.

Venus moves gracefully through Libra, her airy masculine home, where love becomes dialogue

and harmony is built through understanding. She rules art, connection, and the desire to bring balance to what feels divided. Jupiter in Cancer, exalted and fertile, expands this sensitivity into care, compassion, and emotional generosity. He blesses through nurture, reminding us that abundance begins in the heart.

Beneath the full moon’s blessing, beauty and wisdom meet in golden stillness. Between their cups, the sea itself learns to shine. The intimate tension of Venus and Jupiter.

When Venus and Jupiter form a square, the two great benefics of the sky meet in challenge.

Their gifts still flow, but they must learn to cooperate. Squares bring movement, tension that

leads to growth, and in this case, a test of proportion. Both Venus and Jupiter want to give,

to love, to share beauty and joy, but together they can sometimes forget restraint. The task

now is not to suppress pleasure, but to honor it with presence.

The light side of Venus in Libra is grace, diplomacy, the art of relationship built on equality and fairness. Her shadow is people-pleasing, surface peace that hides dissonance, beauty used to distract from truth. The light of Jupiter in Cancer is generosity, emotional wisdom, the ability to make others feel safe and seen. His shadow is overprotection, indulgence, and attachment to comfort.

Together in square, these two archetypes invite balance between giving and receiving, between desire and devotion. The heart may open wide, yet this alignment asks us to tend what we love rather than consume it. Too much sweetness can dull the senses, but the right amount nourishes the soul. The challenge is discernment, knowing when expansion becomes escape, and when harmony becomes avoidance.

Still, there is something joyful in this square. Both planets seek goodness. Venus blesses through connection, Jupiter through growth. They are both bringers of fortune, lovers of peace, keepers

of beauty. Their meeting, even in tension, can fill the days with charm, creativity, and love that feels larger than life. It is a sky of laughter, of small miracles, of encounters that remind us how rich life becomes when the heart is open.

This energy ripens beneath the Full Moon in Taurus, another of Venus’s domains, where what began as feeling begins to take form. The days ahead may bring revelations about how we

express love, receive affection, and define abundance. Perhaps the lesson is that generosity

must flow both ways, and that beauty, to be real, must be grounded in truth.

May this Venus/Jupiter square remind you that love and joy are living forces. They grow when shared with care, when tended with honesty, when allowed to breathe in both light and shadow.

Much love to all, Valentina.
