I apologize, I'm pretty certain I initially posted this under the wrong forum topic...
Really very new to all this, and trying to make sense of it all. I've been very much looking forward to witnessing the Transit of Venus, but my question follows...

With VENUS as my chart ruler, can I expect any significant effect regarding her imminent transit? Really trying to grasp a clearer understanding of both the general and personal effects that people have and can experience, based on the movements and whereabouts of all the "players" up yonder. :)

I ask because I am generally interested, but also because I have noted that my emotions and focus have really just been all over the place the last couple of days. Kind of wondering if there might be an explanation for it.

I would be most grateful for any insight anyone might care to share! <3

Hi gibbert & welcome!

The boards are usually a little bit "slow" at this time, so I'm sure someone will come along & make a few suggestions for you in time. No worries about posting in the wrong topic =) Like you say, it takes a little while to get the hang of it all!

Meanwhile, if you would like to post your Chart to give people a better idea of what's going on with you, read up on these two links. Just incase, the first is on how to calculate your Chart, (though you sound like you already may have!), & the second is on how to actually post said Chart, here, to the boards...

Good Luck & enjoy your stay

"I have noted that my emotions and focus have really just been all over the place the last couple of days. Kind of wondering if there might be an explanation for it."

Emotions are the moon; I tend to think of Mercury as focus, but I'm not sure that's 100% correct.  I'm still learning, too.  :)  With the focus on the mutable signs right now (Gem, Virgo, Sag, Pisces), if you're a mutable-type person you'll be getting impacted more.

Venus transits will be important for you, since she's your chart ruler, but unless we know what house and any other planets she's transiting it'd be hard for me to say how you're going to be impacted.

If you can get a chart up, as McK suggested, it'd be a big help.  :)

Not sure I posted that link to my chart in the right spot, but I gave it a shot...

I'd also love to hear what anyone has to say about this as Venus rules my chart and is also conj my ASC. I'm also a 2nd hse Gem Sun (2nd decan) so the energy around me is buzzing and crackeling like MAD.
Here's an article I found that has some insight into the transit in general:

And I also started a thread a bit ago with links to more articles:
