One of my male friends used to say that he had to like someone’s “way”. Some snippets of conversation stay with you. I think of some people who I find absolutely beautiful and it has nothing to do with looks. It is their “way”, as my friend said.
To bring it back to Astrology, it is Venus. Venus personalizes us. Venus is a very personal planet, second only to the Moon. However, Venus is very different from the Moon. Venus is not sexual love, as some people think. It is not even romantic love. It is what we find beautiful.
Even in furniture and home furnishings, there is a light stream lined looked like Ikea. There is a heavy, ponderous look such as rich dark woods and heavy, leather armchairs. As many looks as exist, are people who love them.
When it comes to people, a beautiful woman may not be someone’s type. It goes beyond appearance. It goes to something deep within each person which can be called an aesthetics compass.
In a relationship, the Venus matters a great deal. If I could have the Moons trined or the Venus’ trined, I would take the Moons. There is a very different feeling to these two situations. Moon trine Moon is the most simpatico you can find with another person. If one could call two people one, it would be Moon trine Moon.
One can have Moon trine Moon and not be attracted to the person in an aesthetic way. One would know their soul like no other but may not feel the person was beautiful in the unique way that Venus will do.
I will try to give some examples. Venus in Gemini loves words. Muscles don’t matter. A man does not have to look as if he stepped out of the pages of GQ. However, he has to be able to use words as a surgeon uses a knife. That would be beauty to a Venus in Gemini.
Venus in Virgo seems to want perfection in a woman. This would make it a Venus which would not fit with me. It would be a mountain that no one could climb. Venus in Virgo is in the Fall. Hence, it will not work well. It will be a continual struggle, as happens with planets in the Detriment or Fall. It is just how it is and we all have some of these planets.
Venus in Virgo is much too sensitive to tastes and smells. It cannot be helped. He is not trying to be fussy. We, all, are born with a certain palette.If any Venus searches for perfection, it would be this one. That is why it is in the Fall. It cannot find perfection and hence, it remains in the s eternal ruggle. I find that the Detriment and Fall planets always leave an unsettled feeling to the native.
Venus is Aries has a strange reversal. The man needs to be chased. The woman chases. The male Venus in Aries will probably not admit this. However, I go by the charts and not the person. I hate to say it like that but people are, often, in denial. An Astrologer has to discern. I trust certain placements to act in certain ways, regardless of what a person says.
Venus in Taurus is a sweet Venus. He is like a lazy cow, grazing in the meadow. No disrespect is meant by this picture. On the contrary, he is calm and can stop and smell the flowers. He enjoys the simple things in life. He enjoys the ride.
He will value homey things like a good meal and a warm blanket on a chilly night. This Venus does not need diamonds and fancy dates. He can put his arm around you as you relax on a comfy sofa and watch a movie and be in cow heaven.
Venus in Cancer loves the home. He will not need fancy dates, either. He will be happy to make you a home cooked meal and put it in a picnic basket and go to the beach. This is a sweet Venus. He loves family and makes a nest with the small group of friends he lets into his sphere. You best be loyal. Cancer will not take betrayal. You will find yourself locked outside the white gate of the picket fence he has around his comfy abode.
Venus in Scorpio is too intense for himself. It is too intense for anyone. Many Venus in Scorpio will not admit it. This is where I get much of my hate mail *cough*. I call them as I see them. This is the Detriment position. the nature of this Detriment is too much intensity. The Detriment nature of Aries is a reversal of male/female roles. Each Detriment may be quite different but it will be an albatross, nonetheless. Let me give an example of how this Detriment position may work. Venus in Scorpio takes love too seriously. We all take love seriously but he takes it to the next level. He cannot help it just as Venus in Virgo cannot help being too sensitive to tastes and smells. It is just the nature of the beast.
If there is one Venus which will be love sick, it will be Venus in Scorpio. If we find it in the 8th house, it will intensify. If we find it conjunct Pluto in the 8th House, we may have a person who will see love as life and death. I have seen a person who committed suicide over a lost love. This does not mean that this placement will do this, of course. I am trying to describe the intensity of these placements lest you tread a little more carefully with a person with this Venus( and the 8th house, in general)
Venus in Libra is an interesting one. I can feel out this Venus and I really don’t like it too much, even though it is in it’s Domicile. This is because it is too refined for me. This Venus is a natural pearls and sweater set girl. You best not wear tight, shiny black boots and too low of a cleavage if you are going on a girlfriends day out. You best not too loud or laugh too coarsely. She likes everything at a basic Ohmmmm Libra level of balance. This Venus may be the most lovely Venus a la Grace Kelly. However, if your idea of fun is laughing at nothing at all and not stopping until you cannot breathe, better find another companion and leave this Venus to someone who wants to walk through the museum with a discreet silence.
Venus in Leo like glam, glam, glam. This Venus wants an attractive partner on his or her arm. Venus in Leo likes to be seen and be LARGE when he is. If you are with him, you will have to be as pretty as he is. This Venus may go for the shiny bauble more than the quiet character of the person. This Venus will not be seen in an old dirty tee shirt or bathrobe. Venus in Leo may be the most vain Venus. It is just the nature of the Lion in the planet of love.
Venus in Aquarius is one of the better places for Aquarius planets. It embodies the true nature of Aquarius, not the holier than thou veneer that the Aquarius Sun and Moon can have. Venus in Aquarius is a giving person. He wants to be fair. He will try to treat you well and expect the same in return— not so shabby. He will need his space. This is good if you need yours. This Venus s genuine. He is as he appears. He seems to like a woman who is not overly sexy. He seems to like the girl next door look. He likes a girl he can bring home to Mama. Remember that if you see his Venus in Aquarius. Hide your tattoos, even though you may think Aquarius may like them. In my experience, the Venus in Aqua men like a wholesome look in a female. Write to me if you agree or disagree. I can hear the hot water running and myself ready to be thrown in.
Venus in Capricorn is a different animal altogether. She wants the best. She does not want cheap dates. She does not want cheap clothes. She does not want cheap perfume. This is fine if we have a man who wants the same thing like another Venus in Capricorn. If not, we would need a sign that would appreciate this in a person and not see gold digger written all over it.
Venus in Sagittarius is a fun loving Venus. It is the bachelor of the Zodiac, so know that if you have your eye on this Venus. The phrase “variety is the spice of life” must have been written by a Saggi Venus because they get bored quickly. They love legs, most especially, so bring out those boots and high heeled shoes. Then, be prepared to throw them off as he challenges you to a game of tag. Life never gets tiring with a Saggi Venus, if you can keep him from getting bored and following another gorgeous pair of boots home.
Venus in Pisces is very different from Venus in Saggi. Can we say polar opposites. Venus in Pisces will write poetry for you while Venus in Saggi is trying to get you to play touch football. Venus in Pisces is gentle and dreamy. Don’t hurt his feelings, if you can help it. He really is the most sensitive Venus and if he trusts you, you will have a most precious gift.
