Venus

Venus is the second closest planet to the sun, and the brightest natural object in the night sky (after the moon). Venus has dual rulership over Libra and Taurus, representing two significant areas of our life – money and love. Through the zodiac sign of Libra, Venus is able to influence relationships and harmony, and through Taurus is able to effect security and material pleasures. Venus is also exalted in Pisces, representing sensitivity and self sacrifice.

Venus is considered a personal planet, a faster-moving planet that represents “ordinary” states of awareness or everyday workings of the mind. In a man’s chart, Venus reflects the woman that he instinctively desires – however in a woman’s chart indicates the way she attempts to present herself in order to attract romance.

While Venus is similar to Mercury, in that their cycles both take up to five months, its energy is significantly more balanced than Mercury. Venus projects gradual, lingering and harmonious waves, generally seen to rule over our sense of beauty, love and peace. Venus particularly affects our social attitudes, behavior and aesthetic tastes and inclinations – dominating relationships at every level. Venus strongly reflects our core morals and values, as well as signifying modesty, virtue, sincerity, beauty, happiness and well-being.

Venus has a strong connection to romance due to its rulership over estrogen. A strongly independent Venus reflects trouble in finding and maintaining a significant other, signifying a strong emphasis on the importance of bonding.

Venus is seen as the basic building block of society, encouraging people to socialize, cooperate and work together. This reliance is both a strength and a weakness, possibly weakening people to become much more sensitive to others – softening the personality.


Venus has a b rule over desire, with the word “venereal” referring to diseases of Venus. Venus is strongly focused on sexual interactions, but also the flow of money and financial situations within our lives.

Affliction makes him changeable, superficial, fickle; and leads to difficulties in correspondence and in matters of love (“je prends mon bien ou je le trouve”) often two loves at the same time.

This position of Venus ensures strong feeling of love, for children or for those who are looked upon as such. Then the cherishing, nurturing, motherly nature becomes prominent; time and money being willingly spent to give them pleasure. But the native should be warned not to wish for gratitude or attachment in return; for children often regard what is given to them as their right, and not as a particularly great kindness or favour. And ill-humor because of this easily spoils the joy giving. True love is a bad bookkeeper; it gives without counting how much it may receive in exchange.

Feelings of morality, love and beauty will be of rather a classical kind, quiet and well-balanced. It remains however uncertain whether they are able to lead to the personal sacrifices which will undoubtedly be required. This will depend on the degree of self-abnegation already reached (Opposition Pisces). Venus in Virgo makes the native cool, often averse to marriage or this position may lead to platonic love. Chemistry, hygiene and the science of nutrition are favorite fields of study.

When afflicted there is a tendency to lavish affection on inferiors, either physical or psychical.

It however the affection is not mutual or even rendered ridiculous, then the native soon retires and does not show outwardly what is in his mind, though his feelings remain the same.

Afflictions make him sensual, rash, imprudent, passionate in sexual desire, intriguing, jealous, and fond of luxury. There is great danger of seduction and likelihood of being cheated. Especially in youth there is a tendency to an extravagant way of living, so he will be well-advised to be careful in his choice of friends, to avoid undesirable connections, and also any sensation of jealousy and curiosity. Restraint of passion through sublimation of the sexual force is desirable. Breathing gymnastics and similar exercises – done moderately – may be suitable.

A propensity to venereal diseases, women’s complaints, hernia, throat illnesses (Opposition Taurus) Intemperance in food and sex-life, and all other excesses should be avoided.

Makes the native sensitive to transitory feelings, but at the same time also to high ideals of humanity and justice. Short-lived attachments, mostly idealized or unreasonable, keep the spirit charmed, although at the same time a very strong desire for lasting, harmonious love is present. Much good taste and “savoir vivre” is found, also much active optimism and liberal sympathy.

Further Venus in Sagittarius makes the native generous, pious, philanthropic, gives love of music and other arts, makes him fond of nature and of out-door life, also of travelling. His marriage will probably be financially favorable.

Affliction renders him romantic, superficial, given to flirting.

Sciatica, tumors in hips and thighs, bronchial and pulmonary affections (Opposition Gemini). Too much sport will do harm in the long run.

Venus is not favorably posited in Capricorn, especially if no helpful aspects are indicated. In matters of love there is much faithfulness, great earnestness and steadfastness, but there is usually something (difference of age, insight or something similar) that gradually, almost imperceptibly causes estrangement and this will be very much hindering expression in the world. The affections will however, be of a more harmonious and lasting nature, in proportion as the feelings are less concentrated and jealousy and mistrust are avoided.

Makes the feelings theoretically more universal than personal. The love nature inclines more to romanticism, to the ideal; platonic attachments are however less the ideal than marriage, provided a special conception of it obtains. Where these ideas clash with current notions and the public opinion, the native’s own opinion is not modified.

Generally, this position indicates extraordinarily strong convictions which enable to deity many conventional ideas and to strive after a love which is on a higher plane than ordinary. Venus in Aquarius renders popular, faithful, chaste, and friendly in love relations. Independent, fond of freedom. Intuitively truth will be rightly distinguished from appearances.

When afflicted there is a danger of false friends, slander.

Anemia, diseases of the blood, hysteria, heart affections, swollen veins, varicose veins, swollen ankles.

This is the sign of sacrifice, of penitence, and therefore feelings of love here reach their highest expression. The flesh must be crucified before the Spirit of Wisdom and Love can be lifted up to heaven. This accounts for his great attraction to those who are weaker than he, to the poor and, needy; also for his warm feelings of humanity, although this sympathy or affection will often be abused.
