It is a tradition in astrology that they are three main positions of Venus in the zodiac:
- Venus in Taurus, which signifies the carnal, physical love
- Venus in Libra, which signifies the human love, the warmth of the human relationship, from soul to soul
- Venus in Pisces, which signifies the spiritualized, pure love
It is said that these three steps must be learned by every human being for becoming complete.
Knowing all the three aspects of love we can become universal and, of course our relationship will then be a model of harmony and beauty!
