I think venus would say if someone liked being social. I have venus in Cancer and I like being home but I have a lot of Leo/Sag 5th house energy and I am playful and can win people over. people tend to view me as theirs, I don't know why that is (astrologically speaking).

Being with people does make me tired easy. I feel comfortable in my home but I like social events once in a while. I don't know if that helped or not.

Venus in Libra in the 6th

Also helps I think -

Taurus Ascendant, Jupiter 1st - people find me easy going, and warm and Jupiter adds a heartiness to the already hearty Taurus Asc. People may forget but Taurus Ascendants do have a charm. It's a calmer charm that makes people feel easy around us

Sun in the 7th -
This is kinda an extrovert position for the Sun, but my Sun is in Scorpio so I feel like it is in the middle. I like people, and I like connecting to other but I spend almost as much time brooding alone in my room. :P

I don't think so. I know too many who are different from their parents in that regard.

But being shunned or bullied to an extreme degree makes it difficult for many people to interact because at least at a subconscious level they project their past experiences onto others so that a friendly greeting sounds sarcastic to them, for example, or assume they're being judged when they're not and can even create self-fulfilling prophecies of being rejected or worse by others until they just give up. And abusive parents can make a kid cringe around others which will invite ridicule, shunning, and bullying by other kids, so I can see an indirect effect.

I can see how astrology would have an indirect effect as well as "chemicals mix and react to each other" which in turn help shapes how they all turn out as patterns get set based on how their charts play out with each other.

I'd say Mercury is more important than Uranus. I'm not sure what Uranus would have to do with it unless you mean enjoying a variety of people. Of course how charts react to each other count so that one person will make another feel comfortable but someone else with a different chart may not and that influences optimism, sociability, etc.

As for myself I have many levels of friendship, from very close to just casual (and I can get along amiably with many associates), more so when I was younger and more restless & curious. Sometimes I'm "sunny" but not always. How optimistic I am is debatable as I don't have high expectations of people and many find me too cynical, though on the other hand I'm a lot more forgiving/tolerant than others are and consider minor failings and such to be a given which helps me get along with people rather than get all bitter whenever someone inevitably stumbles or otherwise make mountains out of molehills.

Back in school I was both loved and hated. Most didn't dare bully me (at least more than once) but I got shunned and such (hateful rumors spread about me, for example) a lot, yet I didn't care as I got along with so many others who were less anal and more comfortable with themselves and other people. Looking back on it I'm surprised at just how fast I made friends even if many didn't like me because I was different.

I do think this is a significant factor for me and also my husband. Both our parents were very sociable (and still are to some degree) whilst we were growing up. My parents used to have parties often and their friends with children used to come around and there would be lots of music, dancing and fun.

So in turn, we are very sociable people (as are our siblings), we love going out for an intimate dinner with friends, having a party at home or now and then hitting the clubs and dancing until 3am like we're teenagers again.

I genuinely do love talking and getting to know new people. Was popular in school of course but I was very happy with the groups of people I associated with. I was friends with everyone from the goths, emos, skaters to the preps, jocks and "nerds".

My Venus is in Scorpio in my 1st. Venus is my chart ruler. I'm a 12th house Libra Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Virgo Jupiter. They just about all conjunct and aid in my optimistic, happy attitude I believe. I have a 3rd house stellium also. Mercury is conjunct my Asc.

Wow! So far everyone seems to be in consensus that Venus plays a huge part.

My guitar teacher is all top half of the chart occupied and he is super comfortable with people.

He is a true genius, too. He has an out of bounds Mercury and there is something else about his Mercury I can't remember that is amazing but the top half of the chart of the chart occupied by planets is a natural extrovert.

Barbiegirl19, do you have any harsh aspects to your Venus?

---

Absolutely! She's very important in my opinion and so much more than what we like and love.

And also Aquarius of course (sun, venus, jupiter?)

I myself enjoy socializing but I wouldn't say that I am good at it at all, I'm too nervous, mistrustful etc. (virgo-nerves) - I'm virgo sun and libra mercury, and scorpio venus. My venus makes only nice aspect, but the rest of my chart is all T-squares

No matter what it's definitely not anything to do with virgo/scorpio or a person who has a lot of tension in their chart (T-squares and squares to sun, moon, venus or mars)
