The Sun without Venus would have no restraint or charm.

The Moon is our true emotional intelligence, but it's very intuitive and can be uncultured like a young child expressing their emotions in the best way they know how.

>Venus rules Libra and the 7th, which is all about partnerships.

Conclusion:

You know what I'm a Libra rising with a Venus in the 7th Venus house. I also have a Uranus square Venus at a tight orb. I'm not a social person that all ,its like I attract people, but also repell them also .. I don't care to socializes that much with people, especially on a superficial level and I'm a Gemini..

I have aries there, and my mars is conjunction sun, square uranus, opposite moon.

I see myself as very social, but I suffer from social anxiety these years. But I've always been good at making "friends" and many people always approaches me. Somehow I must be someone you notice in a room, but when it comes down to it, I'm pretty afraid of making really close connection to "strangers" I've just met.

But Venus, yes. Absolutely.

I have a dignified Venus and I'm very socially pleasant and "competent" (I know when to say the right things, what to do and what not to do, etc).

I thought it was globally accepted that Venus rules social connections.

But the Moon shows our level of comfort. The more comfortable we get, the more of our Sun sign we will let out.

So someone with the Moon in Cap/Sco and Sun sign in Gemini,may be mitigated in expressing their Sun sign.

For this person,it is only when the environment becomes less "threatening"(Scorpio Moon) or more "productive"(Capricorn moon) that the Sun will come out to play.

This feeling of being "threatened" or needing it to be more "productive" etc. will depend on the person's subjective definition of what that feeling is.

In the end however,they really want to express their Solar traits of Gemini.The Sun always wants to come out and play.

But Venus "beautifies" us.Well at-least it beautifies us in a manner/way that we think is socially acceptable and attractive.

Venus expresses the way in which we would like others to present themselves to us.And what our definition of "fun"/pleasure is.

So in the same example, if the individual has Moon in Scorpio/Sun in Gemini and Venus in Gemini. They may present themselves as witty,smart and very clever. The girl/guy with quick "one liners" etc.

They may be able to cleverly disguise the insecure and often "ill at ease" nature of their Scorpio Moon in the superficial settings.But not indefinitely.

You will notice how this individual will quickly disappear or excuse themselves out of conversations when the talk gets too "mundane".

The individual can only disguise their level of discomfort only so long(Moon). They don't want to be rude and will probably charm themselves out of the party etc.

In social situations, the Moon is important. The person needs to let down their guard down for the full expression of the Solar position to come out and play.

In the end , we want the individual to express themselves fully.With Solar energy, the energy is magnetic,attracting, inventive and happens in "real time"

You may see traces of it here and there. But if there is a high level of distrust (Scorpio moon) or downright pretense(Scorpio hates that). The person may just leave- taking their Sun sign energy with them.

Often people say "Did you notice Thembi at the party? Yeah she was smiling and being polite with everyone,but she was just not herself. I felt she didn't fully come out." etc.

I'm a libra AC, with my Venus chart ruler in 1st, 11 degrees off my AC and conjunct Pluto. Although I don't like, need or want to be out socializing a lot I do naturally have a very refined nature. Like I know manners and elegance without being taught or even thinking about it. I've had ppl ask how come I'm so dainty and elegant and honestly I don't know where I learned it.

Yes ~ you always say the right thing!

I'm emailing you tonight. Because you always say the right thing. So I want to talk to you!

I'm sociable because I'm accepting, what with Venus conjunct Neptune (and a larger Neptune profile that I get tired of listing.)

What's kind of funny is I'd rather meet someone under the condition that we're offering some kind of help to each other, which I've done before. But some pointless, fake chit chat? Why? LOL. There's other things to do.
I have my days though and of course my close friends and family are always welcomed.

So ability, absolutely. Desire, not so much.

Virgo Venus 12

I see social skills as all about perception and communication. That says Mercury to me. With Uranus if its with large numbers or groups. Venus is more about, hmmm... providing the atmosphere, beautifying, being receptive, perhaps the style of being graceful or gracious.

I also don't see the eleventh as the house of friendships so much as the house of groups or society at large. The house of "us vs them"-ism when 11 is at its worst.

But take this with a grain of salt since my Venus is Rx, my Mercury is highly aspected (Uranus too), and I have Pluto in the 11th.

I have Venus in Pisces in the 6th house. It aspects every planet in my chart except Saturn. Its only negative aspect is a square to my Moon.
