To clarify what I'm trying to say: I see it in myself as the gemini venus who feels like a blob at anything over 130 lbs and never wants to be seen as boring, I've seen it in my scorpio venus friend who honestly believes dressing provacatively is the way to go (no offense to other scorp venuses, but this is just the way I've seen this placement manifest in her), I've also seen it in my virgoan venus friend who's a total perfectionist and DESPISES her almost-non-existant flaws and her *normal* body weight. So yeah, I know there's a pattern already, but I'm curious to see how this venus thing manifests in others and not just my friends.

My Venus is in Sag/9th and unaspected. Not sure how it manifests. I guess I try to be funny, well educated, philosophical and well travelled but I can't say that I really have relied on the raunchy cowgirl around guys, maybe around my girlfriends as a teen though

But the real gist of my Venus seems like if I'm not feeling sexy or provocative, then my self-confidence plummets somewhat...and that's got very little to do with what I wear. It's more of a mindset

Venus oppose Mars
Venus square Jupiter
Venus trine Saturn
Venus semisextile Pluto
Venus oppose ascendant

Sometimes, when I'm feeling less confident, I put on my high heels, and strut around the house alone. There's something oddly provocative to me about the sound of high heels clacking.

i like dressing nice - shirts, crew/v neck jumpers, polo shirts, jeans, cardigans.

and i love wool coats, like duffle coats & peacoats.

i like shoes, and trainers - but not flashy trainers, with huge logo all over it.

i have two venus scorpio friends, they tend to always wear very fitted clothing for clubbing, perhaps thats the guys way of being provocative.

I absolutely feel best with jeans and sneakers. Casual sexy. No shoes or heals. Just very comfortable. I see myself like an athletic person so that's aries mars not sco venus. And that seems to be the trend with me

I have mars Aries conjunct ac Aries (also Eros and Lust) so my venus (conjunct Adonis) conjunction pluto in 7th doesn't make me very sultry

I'm Venus in Cancer. I feel most attractive/sexy when I'm very thin too.

I feel sexiest and most beautiful when I look good the most natural way possible--jeans and a tank; long, tousled, unstyled hair; flawless skin; lean, slinky, body at the peak of health and fitness. Dressing up--even though sadly lots of times many more people notice me in makeup and a skirt--seems like "cheating" to me...my ideal would be to look EFFORTLESSLY beautiful.

My Cancer Venus is in the 7th house, Leon Sun in 8th: the approval and admiration of whatever guy I'm attracted to or in love with is of top importance in terms of whether or not I feel beautiful. And it isn't enough for the poor guy to say, "You look beautiful" (although I appreciate it and respond with a heartfelt 'Thank You', unlike when I was a teen and responded with the Cancerian, 'No I don't')...it has to do with him gasping and seeming suddenly shy.

Physically lazy [ mentally tireless thanks to Merc in 3rd Gem opp Galactic Centre exact]

I am lazy even while working out, thats why I used a heavy weightlifting program of 15 minutes a week to get Hunky, as opposed to other muscle heads who work out 3 hrs a day.
I feel attractive only when I look very strong, huge shoulders and all.

My Bedroom MUST have five star hotel luxuries and I love eating in bed.

I love curves in girls.

I like art, curiosity shop collectibles, cushions, carpets, green meadows and colourful handicrafts.

Clearly my Venus is more of a value system for me.

I agree with Lucia.

Romance is the recognition of character, right? So if you put on some crap chemically made to attract the opposite sex, that's not character, and indeed it is recognized that sexy and romantic are different things. I would hope I would be tasteful enough to prefer romance, and think I do. I refuse to colour my hair (which not to many complain about, considering it's natural colour), and avoid any shampoo with "ribbons" "natural colouring" and what have you (or what you hopefully don't have :P), and have only recently reluctantly started using conditioning, because my hair is quite long, and long frizzy hair isn't really great in my opinion. I shave all my hair off every year, and start over. I pluck a unibrow out of conformity.

I like to dress sexy but not TOO revealing. Form-fitting and showing a little skin but not so much people are going to look at me and think: HO! I like deep, rich colors..lace, soft smooth fabrics, no loud prints..however maybe some animal print here and there.

I think my Venus being in the 1st house has been an issue my entire life...I always want(ed) to look sexy, mysterious, and a little dark. My appearance plays a huge factor in how I feel about myself.

I prefer being toned while still keeping my curves..I never wear tshirts or sweatshirts unless i'm bumming around my house right before bed. I love wearing eye makeup.

Basically, this is how I like the opposite sex to view me (and they do, because I play out my Venus quite well ) : sexual but not trashy, kind of aloof & b*tchy, feminine, and a little dangerous.

My attitude and personality reflect my Sagittarius qualities, too... Venus I think applies mainly to how I look/dress/think about myself.

I'm going to be honest I don't really feel sexy nor do I try to strive to be sexy. I've never wore brand name clothes. Actually I was Goth in middle school lol. I absolutely love dark clothes, sweaters, denim dark jeans, boots, scarfs, plaid, bangles, chokers, piercings and tats on other people lol though I do have a few myself..my dad doesn't understand, funny retro t-shirts, accidental ripped jeans (I snagged my jeans while jumping a fence)dark rimmed glasses(neo-geeks and nerds), hoodies, vests, old stuff, beads, knitted stuff, hippie stuff and chucks.

I never go out without makeup, even if it's mascara. I'm very self-conscious of what people think about me and my first impression. Quite the perfectionist in that department. I don't like big logos strewn across shirts or shoes. I'm quite subtle, feminine, practical, and I really want to stand out, I'll wear a bright color or some jewelry.

the rule of thumb is if you are wearing loose bottoms, go with a tighter top
loose top with tighter jeans.

loose loose is sloppy
tight tight is s!utty

i too like my bed to be as comfortable and clean as a four star hotel.

It just dawned on me
(because I'm getting ready to donate 8 inches to Locks for Love)
that every time I've had my hair professionally cut I've come home crying
(wahh )

My hair is usually long and straight,
I figure you can't mess it up if you just leave it alone.

Awwwww, Lalalinda, I'm the same way too. I'm wondering if thats my cancer sun...LOLOL.

Observations:

This doesn't really apply to men that much (except in LibraLove's case, though my ex had your placement and he was kind of the same way). I guess this placement shows more of what you your ideal girlpriend or what you value in general (as IQHunk stated)?

-Scorpio venuses, I iz so sorry guys I didn't mean to imply you guys dress like hoes...its just how I've seen it manifest in one friend of mine. But great responses! This was actually what I was looking for from you guys in MVM's response:

Good point. Although, this isn't neccesarily about what you use to attract the opposite sex, its more of what your feminine ideal is. I take it from your post that you prefer to be natural, maybe a bit tomboyish?

And some things all the gemini venuses said, that I've noticed in myself too: we're very casual people. I've never liked to be *really* feminine, I even hated to wear skirts when I was young. I don't hate them so much now, but I rarely wear them. *edit* I *do* like colors, and I'm always experiementing with my hair style/color. I would consider myself 'kid-like' in a way too. And yeah, I don't like to look dumb either. *ninja* Overall, I've always liked to be considered interesting in my own unique way. I don't even try to dress like everyone else.
