THE CHALLENGE: Without rapport, easy repartee, and sharing, Venus in Gemini will seek sweeter nectars. If life gets too routine and humdrum, she will flit away.

(Whats up with all the Venus in 8th? )

VENUS IN CANCER: The empathetic, demure, caring, and sensitive Venus in Cancer wants the Moon. She is so enticing, with her soft face and those big, watery eyes. She charms by being so sweet, so loving, and so shy. She’s romantic—most of those love quotes were penned by Venus in Cancer. You just want to protect her and ensure she’ll always be safe. She’s someone with whom to nest and build a home. She can mother you or behave like a child. She bonds for life; there is no escaping her “claws.”

THE CHALLENGE: It takes time to bond and learn to trust; jealousy needs to be kept away. The littlest things can hurt. It isn’t right until it feels right.

VENUS IN VIRGO: This intelligent and discerning Venus appraises her choices in her quest for analytical Mercury. She craves someone who is her intellectual equal. She charms with her wisdom, her unceasing interest in you. You may not notice you are being interviewed, because her unwavering attention is focused on you, holding you captive. She is not looking for perfection but potential—if you are too perfect, she loses interest. She craves someone to whom she can teach the wonders of love and life. She doesn’t want to hear what you heard, but what you think of it.

THE CHALLENGE: Once the partner is chosen, there are no obstacles or challenges that cannot be overcome. Venus in Virgo is a devoted, loyal, and accommodating lover, once you have been found to fit the bill. Lest we forget, this is an earth sign, so Venus in Virgo is sensual and rather learned in the ways of pleasuring a partner.

VENUS IN CAPRICORN: Venus in Capricorn is traditional and appreciates societal values. She is ardent and sensual—but not in public, mind you. With age and practice, she only gets better. She is image-conscious and values her privacy. She is often your classic beauty, with legs that go on forever. Even in terms of looks, she seems to grow younger and more gorgeous with each passing year. Her ageless quality captures our attention. She does not see it herself—to her it is the make-up, the outfit, the perfect light, or your impaired vision. She works, supports, encourages, and makes you feel that you can conquer the world. She may capture the attention of an older man, who from there on out believes he has gone to heaven. She is also pragmatic and materialistic—there are things a gal needs to have.

THE CHALLENGE: If you cannot be counted on and relied upon to see to your duties, the pragmatic Capricorn Venus may lose some of that faith in you.

Interesting...I have Venus in Virgo in the 10th house but the Venus in Capricorn description really resonates with me. Anyone else think the sign associated with their Venus house placement fits better than their actual Venus sign?
