A good photographer will be able to capture your best side but why not set up your photo shoot for the best time astrological? With that in mind here are the best and worst transit for Headshots

Worst times

One of the worst times to get a headshot done is when Venus is retrograde! Venus Retrograde is a time when everything to do with beauty and love and aesthetics goes wrong. It’s not a great time to get your hair done or to do anything aesthetic enhancing. It’s certainly not a good time to do cosmetic surgery. It’s 40 days when you will have bad hair and your clothes will fit a little oddly and you will look a little out of place. It is also the worst time for looking good on film. So this is one of the times that you want to avoid doing a headshot

Best times

Of course, you wanna know what are some of the best times to do a headshot astrologically. So it’s basically when Venus is in her home sign are good times. These signs are Taurus and Libra. Other than that you want to make sure that the moon is making a nice aspect of Venus this could be a conjunction, sextile or a trine.

The absolute best time to do headshots is when Venus is going over your ascendant. So for this, you have to do your Natal chart to figure out where your ascendant is and then wait for Venus to go over that point. Your ascendant is how you present yourself to the world and so when Venus goes over that point it just accentuates and gives you an added edge to looking good. It gives you a bit of sparkle!

You should update your headshots every two years especially if you’re somebody whose looks change a lot. The good thing is that Venus takes about a year to go around the zodiac so you have at least one time per year when Venus is going to go over your ascendant. On rare occasions, you’ll have a year where Venus will go over your ascendant during a retrograde so you want to avoid the retrograde times and make sure that you take your headshot while Venus is direct.
