ah the topic of love. who can resist? i can't. and neither can you since you're reading this

this thread will be all about your love nature. what tickles your fancy? what things make your heart skip a beat? what will stir you deeply to move heaven and earth?

on the same token, what makes your venus become vain, jealous, insecure, cold, penny pincher or a spendthrift? would your venus get hitched for security, or for love? would you dump someone for someone else to move up a ladder? or would you manipulate and squeeze all the benefits out of someone's heart to gain, and never sacrifice?

My Venus also sextiles my Virgo ascendant, conjuncts my Mercury and Saturn, and (sort of) squares my Moon. (I say this because a lot of times the aspect isn't mentioned, because the degrees separating them are sometimes considered too far apart.) The Mercury conjunction gives me my passion for beauty and talent in art, music, and writing, but the Saturn conjunction there also jades me in love affairs and as it also conjuncts Mercury, induces depression and constant thinking, philosophizing, analyzing, and screaming in frustration when the truth eludes me. I dunno what the Venus sextiling Ascendant does for me, but hopefully tunes down the nit-picky, prudish qualities of Virgo there. :-D

I think Venus in Pisces has helped my artistic expression, too.

Here's my answers to your questions Aphrodite:

what tickles your fancy?

Someone who is not prejudiced.

what things make your heart skip a beat?

Mystery. The unspoken promise of a transformative experience in love, that I will be taught something meaningful, or the other party will learn something from me.

what will stir you deeply to move heaven and earth?

A partner who makes the mistake of telling me he understands me

on the same token, what makes your venus become vain, jealous, insecure, cold, penny pincher or a spendthrift?

Being concerned constantly with the *rational* or *material* side of a relationship.

would your venus get hitched for security, or for love?

For love

would you dump someone for someone else to move up a ladder?

Never. They say never say never, but I'm saying it

or would you manipulate and squeeze all the benefits out of someone's heart to gain, and never sacrifice?

I don't have a problem making sacrifices, if they are needed.

My Cancer MOON, RISING AND ASCENDANT makes me very fixated towards women with motherly instincts, though independance is important too. I love being flattered, but do not take kindly to masochism.

I am obsessed by palms, wrists, fingers and thumbs. Whenever I talk to females, my first instinct is to try looking at her palms. Sometimes, I really have to work hard to concentrate on her face instead. I suppose I look silly sometimes, but I DO try to keep this instinct under control, and usually I manage.

I am a virgin and have never really been in any serious love relationships. I haven't had too many girlfriends either. I think I've had...two. Nevertheless, I make good choices, and quality is more important to me than quantity.

My Venus in Aries makes me an extremely passionate lover, at least in my imagination. I've imagined quite a few wild and loving things, but as I've said before, I am a virgin and do not know how I would respond to that situation in real life. I'll find out one day.

I love so-called "minute" gestures of appreciation, like a hug and kiss for no reason other than I love the person and the person loves me, an unexpected wink, or coming home one day to find a bouquet of roses in my bedroom. I like to think that if I were in a serious relationship, I would do those things constantly, and there would be RECIPROCATION.

I Love romance as much as I do humor - and I especially Love kNowing my hubby and I are each others best friend. Oh, and I need lots of attention - but I don't want my independance stepped on

Venus in Aries in the 1st house conjunct Saturn (just out of orb, so some would say unaspected), ruling the 2nd and 7th houses.

I am very romantic and idealistic, and very committed. I made loads of relationship mistakes, until I met my Twin (come to think of it, I made loads of mistakes *after* meeting my Twin!).

I could never cheat on a lover, and don't think I could cope if it was done to me.

What I fancy: Exciting, adventurous people who are a bit quirky and with a good sense of humour.

What makes my heart skip a beat: Lovely eyes and smiles, flirting.

What stirs me deeply: A soul connection, a wonderful kiss, magic.

Vanity - not really that vain. I like to look neat and tidy. I hate fussy, frilly, floral, girly whirly looks on myself. They just don't suit me. Prefer classic and tailored look in plain colours.

Jealous - Very! Anything where I feel as if the relationship is not being respected.

Insecure - Very! Need lots of reassurance.

Cold - Only when completely out of love, after much heartbreak. Goodbye!

Pennypincher - I am great at making things last, and making things look nice on a budget. You can't buy taste.

Spendthrift - Always. I will give my last 10c if someone asks for it. How do you think I got so good at budgeting?

I would only marry for love, and the security of being loved in return.

I've never dumped anyone for any reason. I'd prefer to take my partner up the ladder!

Manipulation is a dirty game, and you never come out feeling great if you try it.

Sarcasim will make me feel insecure and I'll turn cold and stop talking. Books will make me a spendthrift (and broke ). I'm not very vain - I should pay more attention to my appearance, but all that matters to me is what's inside, not out. I can't remember ever being jealous.

Only love. That would bring the security I need.

There is nothing more soothing and comforting than kind words, fiery speeches and flattery to me.

I'm single right now so loving many people doesn't mean I'm cheating on anyone. I suppose when I'm married, I'll restrict my love to my love and not everyone who does all of the above. I'm not gonna be a Sagittarian in this regard...

I love money (Sun in Cancer) but also love spending it on my friends (not very Sun in Cancer). Dunno what affliction I might have that causes THAT.

thank you so much for sharing. from the responses, it's easier to see how people with the same venus signs are similar in how they show affection.

....I think it might be what makes me bearable as a human.......

feel freeeeeeeeeeeee anyone to disagree and reassure a Virgo....

nah truthfully...a fair amount of good Libra can offset and 'balance'....hahaha...sorry for the pun....can balance some strong Virgo.

QT.....Venus in Virgo can be tough.....but it can be tremendously correct too.

To quote Hawkeye Pierce...."we can't look for a custom fit in an off the rack world"

I love my husband...but he is not perfect....and the stuff I do not love about him...I REALLY do not love...but when it is LOVE....true love......they look handsome even when they drool in their sleep.

hahahaha...you almost have to study that part of them for a while and ask yourself....'if this grosses me out now...how will I feel in 25 years?'

If that thought makes you want to hurl your lunch...the perhaps it's not the right person....if your thoughts run along the lines of...'gee I hope I don't do that too'...then you're probably ok.....

what things make your heart skip a beat?
Mostly homemade gifts and sentimental things like that. I've been told that's a Leo thing, to hold onto past love momentos...feelings...
what will stir you deeply to move heaven and earth?
A friend who's loyal I'll do anything for...I would help them in any way possible, but break that loyalty, and watch out! I don't forgive and forget deep hurts very easily.

what makes your venus become vain, jealous, insecure, cold, penny pincher or a spendthrift?
I am natually vain. We Queens have to be, at our best mentally, emotionally, and phyiscally at all times. LOL. I get jealous too quickly and am suspicous. The 3 planets I have in Virgo keep me eternally insecure. I only bring out the "Ice Princess" mask out nowadays when I'm trying to discourage attention. For instance, my "stalker"... I love shopping discount racks and buying cool clothes cheap. Then I delight in altering and improving them til they become unique, a reflection of me.

would your venus get hitched for security, or for love?
Only for Love (The greatest thing, you'll ever learn, is just to love, and be loved in return!-Moulin Rouge)
would you dump someone for someone else to move up a ladder?
Never. It's against my principles.
would you manipulate and squeeze all the benefits out of someone's heart to gain, and never sacrifice?
No. My whole life revolves around sacrifice (the Virgo showing through again.).

i'll start:

i have venus is pisces.

what tickles your fancy?

when people sincerely help each other out. i find it so sweet in the little things, like when someone gives me the last cup they have in their hand at the water cooler and goes back to their desk to re-use theirs.

what things make your heart skip a beat?

i read in the paper two days ago that there is a new affordable housing complex built in san francisco, and there are plans for more from the money made from the tech boom. i felt a skip in my heart knowing fortunate families and people will have affordable, clean, and safe housing to live in.

what will stir you deeply to move heaven and earth?

helping children who have been victims of abuse, particularly sexual abuse. fighting the wolves.

on the same token, what makes your venus become vain, jealous, insecure, cold, penny pincher or a spendthrift?

when i become overwhelmed with so many pained hearts and wounded souls that i hide sometimes to recuperate.

would your venus get hitched for security, or for love?

i'm guilty of both. i'm human.

would you dump someone for someone else to move up a ladder?

i've thought about it, but have never done it.

or would you manipulate and squeeze all the benefits out of someone's heart to gain, and never sacrifice?

i've never done this. but i've known people who have, and it hurts to see it happen.
