I can't remember my transits for that particular day, but this happens to me every so often, and I have Venus in the 8th. I also do this occasionally myself, and even planned out something called 29 gifts, where you give something to someone every day, for 29 days. I ended up fretting when I couldn't afford something, or was cooped up in the house and couldn't think of anything. I also tend to think in grand gestures, when it comes to things like that, even though I appreciate the smallest things.

A Cancerian Mars.
A Venus, in Taurus.

If you don't have a lot of material resources to give? Giving someone some positive emotional contact is Valuable too.

Say a Kind word to someone every day. Give a small smile, a Knowing nod of the head, some direct yet brief eye-contact to a stranger you may pass on the sidewalk.

Practice Courtesy. Look beyond niggling faults and failures, and see the Positive that's there.

When I encounter mean, or hard-looking people, (observing, and not in convo), I let my eyes go to the area of the top of their cheek below their left eye. I see the curve, the corner of the eye, the eyelashes. Then I 'remember' that this person was someone's little child growing up, in the past. This person has 'innocence' in them, whether or not you can see it on a harder crustier visage that life weathered into them. Life can be so cruel.... and bitterness can seep into people and poison without them realizing.

If you are in a position where you can't practice material-giving, then show outer kindness, and, remember to gaze inwardly from inner-Compassion. (It will positively have an impact through vibrational resonance.)

I've also done a lot of work with kids, volunteering and professionally. There were also 2 times that I became a more committed volunteer (that is, official with an agreement to abide by a routine and schedule), and both times involved kids in getting me started (an emergency with the Children Summer Reading program for the library when every volunteer flaked out, and later at a food bank when I was originally going to make sure that the Jr Girl Scouts helping were safe).

I empathize deeply with people who don't have the basic necessities and suffer because of it (living without shelter, warm/clean clothes, nutritious food, clean water...etc...) Children who don't have toys or sweets. To me, yes having sweets is totally a necessity, especially when one is a kid. In such cases, I help, but it's not random. It's planned carefully and is on my "must do" list.

I smile at people a lot when I'm out in public. Leo ASC trine Venus, this comes naturally to me. I smile at old people especially. And I smile at people whose outfits make me cringe. I slam down my criticism and smile at them, and they smile back, usually...and it makes me really happy and grateful, and then I think they are good looking instead of just badly-dressed. Well that is a kindness to myself that I allow myself to put my heart on my sleeve.

And some other random things.

For what it's worth my parents were both very generous and interested in helping the poor, even though we didn't have that much ourselves. In high school my father was always amassing donations for the homeless, and then distributing them. He'd go out to the city on freezing nights and cover people with blankets. He never talked about it to me, so I didn't even know that until I heard it in his eulogy. But I know how serious he was about collecting socks for the homeless, apparently they go through socks pretty quickly because they have no laundry washing capability, and that is high on their list of basic desires, clean socks. We usually had trash bags full of donated socks on our enclosed porch, the door was open so anyone could swing by and leave donations for the homeless.

I've seen this in the personalities of so many people close to me and random strangers.

I think all signs, all placements, all elements have it in them to do this given that their hearts are willing. Its a human thing. Its a state of mind.

and Hello Faith, I was just dropping by, thought I'd wave a Hello on my way out

I got my Taurus coworker something, just between me and her and she says to me is there anything you don't know, lol.

How Gemini of me
Sometimes I will go on a bad streak and then realize and start being nice.
