VENUS IN ARIES

In addition to the natural indications of Aries, Venus here will give the effects of a 2nd and 7th house Venus. Aries is 7 houses away from Libra, the Moolatrikona sign of Venus, and counting from Venus, Taurus is the 2nd Sign from Aries. For Taurus, the feminine sign ruled by Venus, we always start counting from Venus first, because the feminine sign receives the energy and the masculine sign initiates the energy. Venus in Aries people enjoy the give and take of relationships and are almost always in one. They are sensitive and respectful of their partners and highly sensual. They have beautiful manners when dealing with others. The 2nd house Venus connotations will make these natives be receptive to romantic partners with beautiful faces. Comfort and decoram play a major part in their lives. They react strongly to beautiful words and speech and can appreciate good food. These natives find much value in the beauty of their surroundings and have an eye for fine art.
A man with Venus in Aries will have a wife or girlfriend who has problems with subservient workers, servants, maids and physical labor (because Saturn rules subservient workers, servants, maids and physical labor, and is debilitated in Aries). He will also have a wife or girlfriend who has great luck with her bosses, the government, politicians and benefits greatly from her father ( because the Sun, which rules bosses, government, politicians, and fathers, is exalted in Aries).

VENUS IN TAURUS

Venus in Taurus gives 8th and 1st house connotations in addition to the natural effects of Taurus. 8th house connotations because Taurus is the 8th Sign from Libra, Venus’ Moolatrikona sign, and 1st house connotations because Venus is in Taurus is in its own feminine sign. Venus in Taurus will initiate romance in a secretive, hidden fashion. They will be attracted to romantic partners who are also secretive and mysterious. They will find much value in the hidden, occult side of life. They often find that they transform themselves through relationships. They are naturally able to benefit from their partner’s resources. Relationships often have abrupt endings (because of the 8th house connotations). These natives are well-groomed and take care of their appearance. They are on the receiving end of much nurturing and comforting within relationships. Receiving love, and the results of their choices, directly affects their self-esteem.
A man with Venus in Taurus will have a wife or girlfriend who benefits greatly from her mother and has a wonderful relationship with her mother (because the Moon is exalted in Taurus, and the Moon rules mothers).

VENUS IN GEMINI

This Venus has 9th and 12th house connotations. Venus in Gemini will initiate romance, nurturing and decision-making through a philosophical or religious platform (9th house). They are also very attracted to and desiring of these qualities. When they make a choice, it is often after considering how it will benefit their higher learning and wisdom. These natives may also incur expenses while being on the receptive end of a relationship. The consequences of their decisions will cause them to incur expense also and they more often than not will have to give something up in order to receive in their relationships.
Venus in Gemini people will often find that foreigners are attracted to them (12th house). Sometimes their love interests are kept secret or hidden away. There is an inclination towards clandestine affairs but Venus would have to be very afflicted by aspect, or low in Sthana bala (positional strength) or Cheshta bala (focused energy), for the illicit nature to manifest.

VENUS IN CANCER

Venus in Cancer carries 10th and 11th house connotations in addition to the natural characteristics of Cancer. This placement of Venus will initiate romance, nurturing and decision making based upon duty (10th house). The 10th house is the house of karma or action, and these natives often initiate their romances instead of being on the receiving end of someone’s affections. Venus in Cancer will make a career out of helming the relationship and of nurturing the partner. They are often on the receiving end of friendship oriented crushes from others. Because the interested party always presents themselves as a friend, the Venus in Cancer person is obliged to initiate the relationship. The 11th house connotations on the receiving end of the Venus in Cancer person will cause this native to be drawn to nurturing friends. The friends will also be consulted on a regular basis in important decisions by this native. Social life is of immense value to this person as well. Often, the results of decisions are financial or material gain. A man with Venus in Cancer will have a wife who has had abusive or anger-prone siblings and trouble with real-estate (because Mars rules real estate and is debilitated in Cancer) but at the same time, she will also have a very good husband (the native himself, because Jupiter is exalted in Cancer) and she has very good fortune when it comes to the Jupiter-ruled realm of higher learning, philosophy, religion and teachers. She is also generally happy and philosophical if Venus is not afflicted.

VENUS IN LEO

Venus in Leo natives initiate relationships and decisions based upon what they have to gain from it. Venus in Leo often find that their partners have a lot to bring to the table either in wealth, resources, beauty or knowledge. The Venus in Leo person is inherently attracted to these types of people, people who stand out in some way. These natives will utilize friendship and social interaction as their main force when beginning and sustaining relationships. The inherent value of the relationship will be based upon the friendly feelings between the two people and the ability of the couple to social climb and be recognized in social circles. Venus in Leo natives will find that they are often showered with love and devotion that they very much enjoy unless Venus is afflicted.
This is because Taurus is 10 Signs away from Leo and they are on the receiving end of romance in a 10th house fashion. Their partners will make a “career” out of the relationship and nurturing the relationship.

VENUS IN VIRGO

Venus is Virgo has 12th and 9th house connotations. Virgo is the debilitation sign of Venus. Venus in Virgo natives will initiate their decision-making process in a vague, hidden manner. They are often unaware of why they made a certain choice. Loss is the catalyst for entering into relationships and they often enter them just for sexual gratification (12th house). When they initiate a decision, they must almost always give up something before they can obtain what they desire. In addition to this, the idea of self-negation drives them in their choice of mate. This is why Venus is debilitated in this sign. Venus has to do with worth and if you are coming from a place of loss or thinking of devaluing yourself (12th house) in order to have a relationship, then you are going against the very nature of Venus as a karaka (producer). Venus in Virgo natives are often the object of desire for philosophical, religious types and also their mentors and teachers. The consequences of their decisions will affect their higher knowledge, their philosophy of life, and their spirituality (9th house).
A man with Venus in Virgo will have a wife or girlfriend who benefits greatly from her friends and who has many skills. She will also be very articulate. (Mercury rules communication and is exalted in Virgo).

VENUS IN LIBRA

These natives have characteristics of the 1st and 8th houses. Venus in Libra will initiate its Venusian energy (partnership, relation, making choices and comforting, nurturing) through their body language and personal charisma. The native is polite, charming and well-mannered, gives good advice and has a soothing, comforting demeanor. The native will receive romance, nurturing and the consequences of their decisions through 8th house venues. This means through mysterious, hidden and taboo channels. They will often become caught up in secret trysts. The resources and wealth of the partner serve to nurture and comfort this native.
A man with Venus in Libra will often get a wife or girlfriend who has a less than stellar relationship with her father (the Sun, which rules the father, is debilitated in Libra) but very good luck with servants, tenants, and/or subservient workers (because Saturn rules servants, tenants, and subservient workers, and Saturn is exalted in Libra). A woman with Venus in Libra will often get caught up in romances that are very long-term (Saturn exalted in Libra) but that lack stability and consistency (the Sun is a stable and consistent energy but is debilitated in Libra).

VENUS IN SCORPIO

These natives have characteristics of the 2nd and 7th houses (just like Aries, the other Mar-ruled Venus). The native with this placement initiates relationships, decisions and comfort producing activities through the agent of their wealth (2nd house). This person likes to feel stable within their own self-worth and financial situation and uses this to choose their partners and romantic interests. When they are trying to decide if something is worthwhile, the Venus in Scorpio person will calculate how it will add to their value. They are attracted to partners with beautiful faces. These people receive Venusian energy from partners that are highly sexual (7th house). When the partner wants to nurture and comfort the Venus in Scorpio person, they do it through sex. The consequences of the decisions made by the Venus in Scorpio natives will often lead them into relationships and/or dealing with business partners. The consequences of their choices will also have a wide ranging effect on the people in their lives.
A man with Venus in Scorpio will have a wife or girlfriend that was abused by her mother either emotionally or physically, or had a mother that was not present (because the Moon rules the mother and is debilitated in Scorpio). The woman with Venus in Scorpio will have romances that are full of heavy emotionality and some paranoia.

Venus in Sagittarius

These natives have a Venus with 3rd and 6th house connotations. Venus in Sagittarius will initiate relationships out of curiosity. They will be playful and love to go on adventures with their partner. When they make decisions and weigh the worth of something, they look to how much excitement it will bring them. The 3rd house is all about communication so these natives enjoy picking partners that they will be able to effectively communicate with. They are often on the receiving end of love interests that enjoy argument and sparing. Venus in Sagittarius is not the most auspicious place for Venus because the 6th house is the house of divorce.
Many times, these natives will attract partners that turn out to be their enemies and do not have their best interests at heart.
The consequences of their decisions often wind them up in debt. But they can benefit a lot from their decisions through the agency of their health (the 6th house).

VENUS IN CAPRICORN

The native with Venus in Capricorn will have 4th and 5th house characteristics to his/her Venus. This Venus will initiate relationships to find happiness and from deep emotional need. Nurturing others and making worthwhile decisions are an integral ingredient to their happiness. The 4th house is also a hidden house, so when the person is interested in someone romantically, they will show their interest very subtly and the object of their affection must be tuned in to their emotions. The Venus in Capricorn person receives love from others in a grand, romantic fashion (5th house). The partner of the Venus in Capricorn person will be very creative in the way they express their devotion. The consequences of decisions made by Venus in Capricorn people will often lead them into some kind of creativity and the opportunity to express their creativity will weigh heavily on the decisions they make. Also, if they have children, these children will always be taken into consideration when making decisions (5th house).
A man with Venus in Capricorn will have a wife or girlfriend that has ill luck with Jupiter-ruled people such as teachers, mentors, philosophy and/or religion, and money (because Jupiter is debilitated in Capricorn).

VENUS IN AQUARIUS

Venus in Aquarius gives 5th and 4th house effects, exactly like Venus in Capricorn, however the initiative/receptive dynamic is reversed. Venus in Aquarius will initiate relationships and maintain them very creatively, and in an over-the-top romantic way. Before making decisions, they weigh how it will improve their creativity. Partners that are attracted to the Venus in Aquarius person will show their affections clandestinely, and in a deeply emotional way. This native naturally attracts very nurturing partners.
There are no planets that are exalted or debilitated in Aquarius, so reading some life experiences of the wife or girlfriend for the man with Venus in Aquarius does not apply.

VENUS IN PISCES

- for me... very, very, very true~ but even if they are mixing this with Vedic it would mesh with me, my Vedic rulership is with Jupiter/Sagittarius... lol but back to Tropic-Placidus... I have Venus semisquare Mars/Pluto in 3rd... Venus in Sag conjunct Uranus in 4h... I can't tell you how accurate I find this. I pick my lovers from my enemies sometimes! XD or so it would seem afterwards~ I'm blindly gullible, absolutely reckless with partnerships... but, in the end the luck of Jupiter wins out over me, thankfully. ^^ I've 6h Aqua... Aquarius keeps me in good health too I think, thanks to Venus conjunct Uranus... hard to explain it all but I do see some pretty cool similarities in experience to what this details. ^^; (pathetic as that may be! specially to admit too!) *has had a few* #shameless

I think the most interesting part here... for me! is... really 6h rules divorce???? @__@
this is news to me~ !! lol

Anyways~ I can definitely see some (lol) major(!) similarities (at least from where I place in the matter) with people of other Venus's that I know, as well... haha although I wouldn't point those out... X___x but, there are some truths in there for sure!~ and some things I didn't know. haha =x

<--- student of astrology

Thank you for sharing these Odette!!!!

"Venus in Virgo has 12th and 9th house connotations."

If they're talking about the Pisces-Virgo axis, don't they mean 12th and 6th?

quote:

---

"...initiate their decision-making process in a vague, hidden manner"

---

Your decision making processes would be Mercury, since that is the thought processes, in general. Sure, what ultimate decision you come to might be fueled by what you like (venus) or what you feel emotionally (moon), but the whole process is mainly Mercurial in nature.

I have Mercury in Leo...I decide on most things fairly quickly and no, I'm not really vague or hidden. I'm pretty much an open book - "I'm doing this and this, and this is why I'm doing it."

quote:

---

"They are often unaware of why they made a certain choice".

---

The idea of not being sure on a conscious level, why you do the things you do sounds more like a lack of self-awareness. I'd peg that on afflicted twelfth house placements. I have no planets in the 12th.

quote:

---

"Loss is the catalyst for entering into relationships and they often enter them for sexual gratification (12th house)."

---

Sex is the fifth or the eighth, depending on who you ask.

I'm gonna be honest. I usually wind up going after people who strike some kind chord in me emotionally, first and foremost. Someone that strikes me as having a sensitive streak in there somewhere, I'm always drawn towards people I think are emotional. It isn't driven by loss, which to me sounds like afflicted Venus in 2nd (or Taurus), or Venus in hard aspect to Pluto - trying to create relationships to feel a sense of security. It could even be an afflicted Venus in Libra thing ("I can't be alone").

I don't enter relationships for sexual gratification either - honestly I'd have to love someone first in order to seriously want to hump them, anyway. My Mars is in Cancer, after all.

quote:

---

"...self-negation drives them in their choice of mate...if you are coming from a place of loss or thinking of devaluing yourself in order to have a relationship..."

---

I'm 31 years old, no kids, never married, and I've never even kissed anybody, and I've been mostly alone - very few relationships. This isn't from a lack of offers, by the way.

Do the math on that.

quote:

---

"...often the object of desire for philosophical, religious types and also their mentors and teachers..."

---

Actually it's more the reverse. I tend to be attracted to those types but I blame that more on Mercury in the 7th house sextiling Jupiter. I like thinkers, smart people. Philosophical people and folks that talk alot.

A teacher did hit on me once but to be fair, it was a one-off thing; I don't get hit on by teachers regularly, and he was a 22 year old student-teacher in his last few months of college, and I was a 16 year old high school junior. But no I don't get chased around the block by mobs of teachers and professors.

Venus in Leo natives initiate relationships and decisions based upon what they have to gain from it. Venus in Leo often find that their partners have a lot to bring to the table either in wealth, resources, beauty or knowledge. The Venus in Leo person is inherently attracted to these types of people, people who stand out in some way. These natives will utilize friendship and social interaction as their main force when beginning and sustaining relationships. The inherent value of the relationship will be based upon the friendly feelings between the two people and the ability of the couple to social climb and be recognized in social circles. Venus in Leo natives will find that they are often showered with love and devotion that they very much enjoy unless Venus is afflicted.
This is because Taurus is 10 Signs away from Leo and they are on the receiving end of romance in a 10th house fashion. Their partners will make a “career” out of the relationship and nurturing the relationship.

Why are Leos always portrayed as self serving egomaniacs??

as someone else mentioned, they are mixing western and vedic style. In vedic 12th house has to do with everything happening behind "closed doors", including the sexual life.

The mentioning of the 9th house is probably because they count from the Vensu ruled sign Venus to Virgo. And Taurus is the 9th house from Virgo´s placement.

I like how Venus in Scorpio mentions the possibility of a damaged woman for a man and paranoia for a woman. It seems mostly accurate to me at least on the female side. Since I have this placement I have always struggled with playing 'games' with my partners usually through my fault... but when I meet Scorpio Moon men they also play them and it's an endless amount of games between us sometimes if things go sour.

As for mine: Venus in Aries people enjoy the give and take of relationships and are almost always in one. They are sensitive and respectful of their partners and highly sensual. They have beautiful manners when dealing with others. The 2nd house Venus connotations will make these natives be receptive to romantic partners with beautiful faces. Comfort and decoram play a major part in their lives. They react strongly to beautiful words and speech and can appreciate good food. These natives find much value in the beauty of their surroundings and have an eye for fine art.
