I particularly want to know if I have a debilitated Venus.

Unaspected Venus- Venus unaspected in a chart is very rare and those who have it are very passive, peaceful and lazy ones. Very few of them become famous or successful. Such people are loving and giving and often well-loved and pampered in childhood. But they should take care that the materialistic side of Venus does not preceed the love element of Venus. http://astrology.findyourfate.com/astrology-unaspectedplanets.htm

Or, to give an example of Venus: A couple of years ago a couple consulted me and asked for an astrological analysis of their relationship. They had been married almost thirty years, but the woman was in a kind of crisis. She didn't know if she loved her husband, or if she had ever loved him, and claimed she didn't really know what love actually was. Her husband didn't take this personally. His commentary was simple and honest, "We've gotten along very well together all these years, and I just know she loves me, and I love her. So something else must be going on, and that's why we're here." His wife, however, had gotten hold of the nagging thought that she didn't know what love was, and therefore also didn't know if she loved her husband.

Her Venus created no aspects whatsoever! After I had explained what an unaspected planet meant in general, and how an unaspected Venus works in particular, something finally clicked in her. She understood that the unfulfilled and searching feeling was inside herself and had nothing to do with her marriage. "If I look back at it that way," she said, "then we have in fact gotten along very well together all these years, and I wouldn't want to be without my husband." There was a moment of silence, and then she said, "Maybe that's what love is. Maybe I shouldn't be getting myself so worked up about it anymore, and accept that I can't catch or grasp it all." This is a nice example of how, with an unaspected planet, we can run the risk of misjudging a situation because with all that "searching" we begin to mull and fret. Just as often, though, all that searching has yet another result, namely the idea that we "aren't there yet," or can't do certain things. In the case of the unaspected Venus, this can express itself in a feeling that others don't think we're nice, or that we weren't cut out for love, or that we feel inferior because of our looks and/or emotions. In every instance this feeling does not corroborate the real situation or talents and capabilities. Once again though, the fact is that we don't see it at first. And even with an unaspected Venus, we can be very sweet, mediate very well, and have a finely tuned sense of harmony! Hidden in an unaspected planet like this is a great talent waiting to be discovered. http://www.angelfire.com/stars5/unaspectedplanets/

Here's a great and positive article about planets not making aspects: http://www.astromarkt.net/artabscence.htm

My Venus influence is very strong in that having a successful relationship is very important to me. At times in my past, I acted like a hopeless romantic.

I guess with my Libra moon and Venus in Cancer, it makes me want "true love" more than most I guess (not taking anything away from anyone else).

I really do appreciate you guys helping me out on this. I do not know how to read a chart very well. I'm picking up the basics as I go along.

And hey Amisha, how would you interpret the sesquiguadrate to neptune and the semisextile to mars? The rest of your reply is extremely accurate.

I learned that when someone has an un-aspected planet in their chart, it is called “Peregrine” which means pilgrim.

I also learned that a peregrine planet runs away with the chart, it is an ultra focus on the symbols of that planet. You already mentioned several keywords describing Venus and a Venus-Neptune connection. Idealism, a strong focus on relationships and romance. Neptune is also idealism and the you have a sesquiquadrate between those two planets, and that is a tense aspect. Idealism can be used as a defense mechanism, and could be why your marriage ended, which is what you have already disclosed.

The chart suggests that you are self-protecting, defensive. There’s also a possibility that you may have been pushed around by life circumstances, feeling victimized by life. Because Venus rules your 2nd house of self-worth and is located in the 11th house of love received, your Venus is working overtime in terms of how you feel within relationships, what you feel that you deserve within relationships and somehow it is related to your mother and competition between you and your mother. There is the suggestion that she competes with you and that she causes you to feel tremendously guilty, especially in terms of your value around relationship.

The chart also suggests that something is not as it appeared to me in your early home life or with your mother and it caused you to suppress yourself or your Dad or something secret concerning who you are. There is also the suggestion of great hidden anger around a matter that could be brutal concerning Dad and the anger may have surfaced around age 6 or 7.

I won’t go on because this is about Venus, but it all ties into your Venus running away with your chart because it has no anchor it is literally beaming out all over the place. That Venus is teaching you a lot. Venus and Neptune want me to ask if you are an artistic writer or singer of some sort?

And I do like to make music sometimes. I am a party DJ.

Wow, I guess I need to learn to control this venus in cancer of mine because I feel its prominence in my life.
