I have noticed others and I who have an earth venus are very sensitive to physical appearances. I notice little things like the shape of someone's nose, the shade of their eyes, texture of their hair, and sometimes even what they resemble. Because of this, I usually find it hard to like someone I didn't find physically attractive.

My best friend is the same. She has Cap venus, I have Virgo venus. When we were in high school, we used to show each other girls we don't like and then comment on her appearance. I guess this still kind of remains with me because my bf's brother is trying to date someone and I said she looked like donkey from Shrek. I didn't really mean to be mean when I said it. I just noticed the way her mouth was positioned on her face and the size of her lips. Of course, I don't know her and I don't know if I will like her personality or not. But I feel like what I said just gave them the wrong impression.

Sometimes people think I'm trying to be mean when I comment on physical things, even with smells and tastes, but I'm really not. I just notice things and my g*ddamn mouth is too outspoken to shut up.

Is anyone else this way?

One of my close friends has Venus in Cap. Yes, I think the reason he likes to be around me because I have good physical appearance. He always says, "Hi, gorgeous!", if he meets me/starting a chat, or he will bump into, "you know what? I like how beautiful you are. Exotic. Different than some people I've met." He always complements my physical appearance and I've noticed how he always makes a comment about people's physical appearance too!. One time he asks me if I agree with him that physical appearance is important when to choose a mate (especially around the face), well, I have water venus, I care more about the emotional state of feelings than the physical (and weight all if they are the match based on my feelings). All of my exes are bigger than me who prefer eating than working out. It's always them versus me because I like running and sometimes a part of marathon runners.

With my other venus in Aqua friend, he tells me that intelligence is more important to him when choosing a mate. The same as venus in Gemini.

The Venus in Taurus and, hell yeah, he likes all about the beauty in women, physical appearance seems more way important for him than how comfortable he is with the two energy collide. He will try to get close with people who have good physical appearance, I never see him around ugly women long enough or even try to get close.

My brother who has Venus in Virgo is the same. I have noticed all those girls (he gets close to) are physically attractive. He doesn't really care at first about their personality and the feel when they are together.

Fire venus tend to like people who are active and lively, they will cling onto you if you are the same.

I think all go to their basic elements preferences.

I sense some more earth stereotypes in creation...

We notice that which is real, actual, and material (imagine that). That might be the lint on your shirt or that you were late for work again. Whether or not a person points this out depends on a lot more factors than their astrology chart. I make mental notes on many things that I see and observe, but I rarely comment on any of them (unless you ask for my opinion, which is unfiltered and honest). My Cap and Taurus friends are much the same way.

Yes. Yes. Yes!

My boyfriend has Venus in Taurus opposite my Scorpio Sun-Pluto conjunction by 1 degree.

I have Venus in Scorpio.

He just doesn't understand how I can date someone who isn't all that physically attractive. When I tried explaining this concept to him when discussing my previous relationships, it's like he didn't understand at all. Like it was a foreign currency nicely. It's fascinating, actually, he really doesn't understands how physical appearance cannot matter in the world of attraction and dating.

My Scorpio Venus looks beyond the superficial. Taurus does too but more so in a material, practical sense. They aren't very spiritual and they tend to keep up with the current generation.

I have Virgo Venus and yes, I need to be physically attracted to someone to want to be with them. But I require more than that also. Just looks won't cut it.

Pretty sure that everyone needs to be physically attracted to their mate. Thankfully we all have different tastes.

Not to mention, I have been into men that my family/friends have said were not very attractive, but they were to me.

Exactly.

Everyone finds different things attractive, and what one person finds pleasing another will not. I think most people can generally agree when someone is all-around attractive (ie. certain celebrities or models) but to the DEGREE depends on what any one person looks for in a mate. There are butt people, breast people, leg people, eye people, lip people, hair people etc. etc.

If we look at the elements, I think earth sign people judge someone's attractiveness based on SENSUAL factors attune to the physical. I've noticed Virgo Venus' are very particular about cleanliness and simplicity - a girl (or guy) with a very no-frills approach to their routine. Taurus Venus' tend to enjoy people who are a little more "soft" - softly scented, soft clothing, "feminine" appearance. Cap Venus' seem to like someone practical, structured, mature - someone who is stable in "exterior" physical matters and can appreciate the finer things in life (but in more refined, less flashy way).

The other elements would break down in a similar fashion. I would say fire signs are probably more guilty of choosing a mate based on physical appearance alone although I think it goes deeper than that. Leo Venus would probably be THE most guilty of choosing someone for "arm candy" but I think it's more someone who exudes confidence and isn't afraid to play up their features (hair, makeup, clothing etc.) - someone "flashier" in the traditional sense of the word which can seem shallow (although the person may be very intelligent at the same time). All the fire Venus' seem to appreciate a bolder, more outgoing mate but in a different sense.

I am the same way actually. I cannot grasp my head around the idea of dating someone I really didn't find physically attractive. My boyfriend kinda gets annoyed when I tell him his exes are not very attractive. The one girl, I told him she was fat and her nose wasn't very flattering. He got annoyed and said it didn't matter because of her personality and that he could talk to her (Gemini venus). The other one, I said she didn't even have boobs, how the hell did he want to do her? He said she looked cute to him at the time. I always ask how he ended up dating his exes and I never understand. I guess we're pretty shallow in that sense.

Funny story is that when I actually met my boyfriend, I didn't think he was physically attractive, so I rejected him. It wasn't until I got to know him 2 years later and became close with him that I realized physical appearance really didn't matter.

I feel that the downside to having an earth venus is the shallowness that we have due to our sensitivity to the physical. Another one would be that we always work so hard to look good too because we think other people would look at us the way we look at them.

I always get sh** from my bf whenever we go out because I take so long to "perfect" my appearance.

Earth signs are often strongly attached to their physical body and worry about their health/longevity. And isn't good looks associated with good health?

The Venus in Taurus guy i am seeing often says "yummy" when we are kissing or makes food related remarks etc. And i think that's funny.

Venus in Cap/Virg often have outrageous demands of how a woman is to look(I have Draco Venus in Virgo). But most often marry "plain Janes" (ironically enough).

It is Venus in Taurus that seems to appreciate physical beauty so much. Even in varying shapes/colours and sizes.

LMAO at the "shallowness" comments.

Meh, speak for yourself.

It's not all about physical "attractiveness". My earthy energy manifests in an appreciation for the human physical form.

I am well aware of physical beauty, but then again I am attracted to beauty of all forms, not just physical. A human is made up of body, mind and spirit. I definitely will never downplay my appreciation for it.

It is part of the reason why I enjoy working in the healthcare field. Taking care of the body and connecting it with the mind and spirit.

Due to this appreciation, I can definitely find beauty in people who may or may not be considered conventionally attractive. My husband has virgo moon/venus/mars and he shares the same view as me.

It's your Virgo Venus. It's in debilitation or some people say fall. It means the opposite of the sign of its exaltation. You have difficulty appreciating beauty. Venus is the sign of enjoyment and pleasure and beauty.

Virgo is the sun of cleaning, noticing flaws so that you can correct them. No wonder why Venus is debilitated there.

You have a negative focus and can hardly find anything beautiful and that's because of your idea(s) of perfection. Yes it's true that some people are more attractive than others. It's the truth. But you have a negative focus.

And no it's not about having an earth Venus. A person with Venus in Taurus has a domicile Venus or Venus at home. They don't necessarily act like that unless they have moon or sun or a strong placement in Virgo.

As a Virgo myself especially when I was little since I was immature I had a very precise and accurate way to judge the appearance of things and know what resemblance it has and it would make others laugh. It's okay to think like that or when you're alone as long as it's all light and fun and you're not making fun of someone who might have some kind of problem. It's okay as long as you have a compassionate side to balance this so you know the right limits.

Thankfully I have a Pisces ascendant to balance my Virgo sun. By the way my Venus is in libra.

Usually if we have a problem with someone else's appearance and if you seriously do have a problem, that's strange and it's probably because they reflect or exaggerate some insecurities you might have yourself.

There are many variety of humans and we should just accept and appreciate that. And it's better to stop looking st things black and white and just see everything as something unique. Trying to adopt this perspective of things will not only be good for you, since you will start finding things naturally more beautiful (not necessarily in terms of "perfection" physical beauty"), but for others as well. But since you're a Venus Virgo it could be hard for you. You need to work on your Venus. Maybe pray to goddess Aphrodite. Everyone should do that I do it too in fact I pray many other gods that are linked to different planets do they can bless you and show you their gifts.

If you adopt this perspective it's like adopting the perspective of a strong Pisces person who has an innocent mind, and is unconditionally accepting to the point they even are an empath. Having this perspective can make your life look simpler and you will stop focusing on things or focusing the way you don't enjoy.

My ex is a Venus Capricorn. He has dated some really pretty women. He doesn't settle for anything less than he deserves (his words, not mine). He was very much on appearances, being a libra asc. But he wouldn't want me to wear certain things - skinny jeans, wedge sandles, wrap dresses to work. He didn't like them so therefore he didn't want me wearing them. He would actually store some of my clothes away so I couldn't wear them. Yes, he was very controlling. So I think he wanted to have his partner look a certain way.

My current bf is a Taurus Venus. He's said so many times how he loves how soft my skin is. He likes women who are natural looking as well, not in too much makeup.

My dad is a Virgo Venus and my mom is a Virgo ascendant. So I guess that works :-)
