I've noticed that around this time of year (Nov-Jan) I always look really good. I look much better than usual around these months, so much so, that I've noticed it.

After January (like the middle of the month around my B-day) I go back to looking normal.

What could do this? Is there a way I can make it happen all year...

Seriously though, is venus in a certain (yearly) sign this time of year?
Could it be Neptune? I know neptune is an outer planet, so it can't be that, but I'm unsure about venus and its sign changes.

Could it be my sun? It does happen as it gets closer to my B-day.

Anyone else experience something like this?

Edit: I just looked at last year's transits and it isn't venus.

The only thing I noticed was last year tVenus was hovering over my nJupiter and this year it is hovering over my nUranus. So, maybe that's it. Maybe when Venus hits an outer planet it makes me look good...?

Or maybe it is an aqua thing, what, with our changing appearances.

Or maybe it's just a coincidence...

(I'm thinking aloud here...sorry!)

I'm so interested to see if anyone else has noticed anything. I didn't think it was anything until it happened this year, too. I just thought it was a nice happenstance. I don't change any habits as far as more makeup, hairstyles, etc. and it's happening again. Weird, but good.

I'm having an unexplainably nice time looks-wise too. Transiting Venus is trining my natal Venus. Also Venus is in Libra (a Venus-ruled sign), and my sun is Venus-ruled (Taurus). I notice that your ascendant is Taurus. Being that Venus is your chart ruler, it may be that Venus being in Libra is having a good effect on your appearance. What do you think?

I think that's a very plausible idea.

Don't you wish we could keep this transit forever?!

no idea but i do know about the weird morphing aquarian looks thing. i notice that i (also aquarius, with moon taurus and sag ascendant, like you, just mixed up!) look my best when i am happy and look really oogly when i am not happy. it's bizarre. so maybe could you be happy this time of year? could that be it?

Oh cool, we're fraternal astro twins!

That's definately true about the aqua thing, but that is usually a quickly moving thing - I'll look good one day, and then bad the next. Now that you mention it,though, my tVenus is conjunct my nUranus - maybe that's it, because it is my chart ruler (secondary, besides my AC).

Uranus gives electric-like changes that are usually fleeting, so you're probably right.

Neptune: I already had my venus return. It's in my 6th house now, but that's a good point.

yeah, i think it's probably a uranus thing. and venus too, since it represents not only beauty but rules taurus, which is physical in nature.. hmm. interesting!

Really?

Neptune in the 1st will do that, and no, you didn't say that before.
