Venus in the Signs

VENUS IN ARIES - Venus was in the sign of Aries at the time of your birth. Aries, a cardinal fire sign can be bold and adventurous, or headstrong and impulsive. With Venus in this sign, you will tend to be passionate and impulsive in your reactions to matters concerning love and affection, with a tendency to jump into things pretty quickly. You will be persuasive and demonstrative in your relationships, and not given to putting restraints on your affections. You will need to control a self-seeking urge in your relationships and may tend to be rather inconsiderate to those loved, probably without realizing it, due to an insistence on doing your own thing, and lack of consideration for the other person's feelings.

VENUS IN TAURUS- Venus, the planet of relationships, is in the fixed earth sign of Taurus in your chart. This indicates that you are loyal and security-minded in your approach to relationships, and the physical expression of love and affection will be important to you. You may seek permanence in your relationships for the feeling of security and stability that it gives you, and you will be happy to provide for these needs in your partner. You will give the appearance of coolness and reserve, but this masks a deep and passionate nature. You can be strongly but quietly jealous of any situation or person that you feel is a threat to your emotional security.

VENUS IN GEMINI- With Venus in the mutable air sign of Gemini, you have a great need for change and variety in your social life in order to make you feel alive, although this need is on a social and intellectual level rather than a physical or emotional one. In any relationship, you will need space to do your own thing, and to go where you want when you want. You will therefore need to break free from any relationship that you feel will limit your activities through the expression of jealousy and possessiveness. It is not that you are disloyal or, despite appearances, out to make as many conquests as possible, it is just that you are never quite sure whether what you feel today is what you will be feeling tomorrow.

Your feelings in matters of love and affection will be analyzed and expressed verbally rather than physically, and in any serious relationship there will need to be a meeting of minds as well as bodies or emotions.

VENUS IN CANCER- Venus in the cardinal Water sign of Cancer indicates that in your relationships, you seek a deep sense of emotional sharing with another person. The fear of being hurt will cause you to hide behind an outer shell of apparent coolness until you feel secure enough to express your true feelings. When you do, however, you are sensitive and caring but may overdo it and emotionally smother the other person. Your approach to matters of love is deeply linked to your need for a home and security. This is not to say that this is all that you are looking for, it is just that you will find it difficult to relate emotionally to another person unless these needs are satisfied.

VENUS IN LEO- Venus in the fixed fire sign of Leo shows that you need to feel a sense of pride in yourself and in those closest to you. The worst thing anyone can do to you is to hurt that pride, you will find it very difficult to forgive anyone who does. You do not like to beat around the bush, you are straight in your dealings with others and you expect them to be the same with you. In your close relationships you have a desire to be the one in control, to assert your own will and get your own way, take care that this does not turn into a tendency to dominate. You have a deep need to be recognized as a creative and self-assured individual.

VENUS IN VIRGO- Venus, the planet of relationship and affection, is in the mutable earth sign of Virgo in your chart. You will have a tendency to over-analyze your feelings in your relationships, rather than simply experience the person and your feelings for them. You will need to understand the why and wherefore, and the conscious and unconscious motivations behind the relationship. You could become very critical of the other person when your analysis reveals that they are not the perfect, pure being that you want them to be. Publicly, you will express a rather cool, perhaps even puritanical, approach to others, but when you feel safe, and in private, you can be as passionate as the next person. You express your affection easiest by taking care of someone's physical needs, making sure they are comfortable, well fed, and relaxed, and you will tend to seek these same qualities in a partner.

VENUS IN LIBRA- Venus is at home in the cardinal air sign of Libra, the sign that it rules. You are diplomatic and fair-minded in your relationships with others. Although you are sensitive and easily hurt, your ability to see the other person's point of view means that you cannot bear a grudge for too long. While this is an admirable trait, it also means that you may fail to stand up for yourself even when this would be the most appropriate thing to do. Your ease and charm in social situations make you a sought after guest and a popular host, you circulate well and communicate easily. You express your affections in a light hearted and intellectual manner, which your partner can find endearing or too cool and detached, depending on what turns them on.

VENUS IN SCORPIO- With Venus, the planet of love and affection, in the fixed water sign of Scorpio, you approach relationships with an emotional intensity that is not always openly displayed. Your feelings go deep, and sometimes they may be difficult for you to understand or accept. You may handle this by giving the appearance of being cold and unemotional, but you are not as hard as you like people to think. You may find yourself involved in relationships that have a powerful and transforming effect on yourself and your life. You will be possessive, but that is safely hidden beneath the surface, like all the feelings that you feel could make you vulnerable if you revealed them.

You may find it difficult to give freely or to trust in a relationship, expecting all the giving and trust to come from the other person, but you can show undisputable loyalty to friends and family to whom you feel deeply attached.

VENUS IN SAGITTARIUS- Venus in the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius gives you an adventurous spirit in your approach to relationships, and you need a large degree of freedom to explore your needs and feelings. You are somewhat impulsive, ready to follow your emotions without fear, but at the same time you are direct and earnest in your affections. You are not afraid of love, but you may often be hurt by others who are not as open and sincere as you are. Whatever happens, you will never lose your high standards and integrity, you may become wiser and more mature but you will always be ready to trust in your emotions again.

VENUS IN CAPRICORN- Venus in the cardinal earth sign of Capricorn indicates a rather conservative and practical approach to relationships. You are attracted to people who promise security and long term commitment. Position and power in the world are also important to you, you feel "why marry the second violin when you can have the conductor?". You are capable of seeing the potential in your partner and pushing them to achieve the highest that they are capable of. This may take some time and the investment of a lot of energy and faith on your part, but you are patient. You need to know where you stand at all times, from day to day arrangements, to long term plans and goals. It takes some time for you to trust enough to allow others to get to you, but when you are able to relax in another's company you are able to express the warm sensuous side of your nature.

Financially, you are always in control, you keep careful track of your bank balance, you need the security of always knowing your position. This stems from a need to maintain financial independence, you do not like to be dependent on anyone in this area. You go for the long term investment, rather than risky, "get rich quick" schemes. You have a talent for taking nothing, and building something solid and secure from it.

VENUS IN AQUARIUS- Venus in the fixed air sign of Aquarius indicates that your approach to relationships in general is somewhat freedom-loving and unconventional. You will not like jealousy or possessiveness either in others or in yourself (at least that is what you will like to believe) and will probably insist on a great deal of personal freedom in any relationship. Since Aquarius is a fixed sign, you will strongly resist any attempt to curtail your freedom. This can cause problems if you have a partner who needs more of a one to one relationship. As a result of this, others may find your approach to love and affection to be rather cool, calm and collected.

VENUS IN PISCES- With Venus in the mutable and watery sign of Pisces you tend to be ruled by your emotions in any relationships. You are sensitive to the needs of others, and are capable of self sacrifice for a loved one. On the other hand, since Pisces is a mutable sign, you can be very evasive in your emotions. If someone tries to pin you down as to what you really feel, you may avoid expressing your true emotions. Venus in Pisces gives a kind of generalized compassion for all human beings, making it difficult to settle down to a committed relationship with one person. You may find it difficult to handle your financial affairs, and may be uncertain about what you really value. You can waver between self-centeredness and selflessness, sometimes giving and full of empathy, at other times wallowing in your own emotional misery and isolation.
