> Venus, often called the Planet of Love, is a feminine sign and rules
> both Taurus and Libra, as well as the 2nd and 7th Houses. Venus
> represents love, sensuality, romance, beauty, culture, affection and
> one's social appeal. Venus is about how we feel when we are
> interacting socially with others -- romantically, professionally or
> even platonically. Its placement in our chart provides insight into
> what we are attracted to and what is attracted to us. Your Venus sign
> defines what you love and how you love it. Venus (in conjunction with
> the Moon) governs our emotional life and unions of all kinds. Imagine
> Venus as a warm buzz -- it does, after all, rule your sensory organs
> and all the spots that feel good emotionally and sensually.

> Aries
> Those of you with natal Venus in Aries could be visualized as Cupid

> at a specific target of your choice. Energetic, youthful and direct,
> lovers with Venus in Aries will not demurely wait for anything. You

> L. Your emotions are changeable, fiery and perhaps a bit on the

> scorching! You will be happiest in a relationship that allows you to
> be true to yourself.

> Taurus
> Venus, when placed in the sign of Taurus, denotes a romantic,
> affectionate lover and friend. Rich beauty and sensuality are
> attributed to this placement and your emotions are stable and
> dependable. A lover with Venus in Taurus is likely to be enraptured
> forever and will be more responsive and devoted as the commitments
> get heavier. You often have a penchant for the finer, more luxurious
> things in life.You may spend a lot of energy on obtaining possessions
> and material objects for emotional security. Often there is a talent
> or appreciation for creativity and culture of any realm. Opera, fine
> food, wine, performance, art, and music will be enjoyed immensely.
> You are blessed with the capacity to savor each moment to the fullest
> extent, and instinctively seek out the beauty in your surroundings.
> However, you may want to watch out for a possessive streak! You will
> be happiest in a relationship that provides you with a real sense of
> belonging and stability.
>
> Gemini
> Want to know how to spot someone with Venus in Gemini? It's that
> person who is happily chatting up everyone at a cocktail party, a
> succession of flirtations and entreaties at their disposal. Those
> with this placement are wise and witty and always the life of a
> party. They are also friendly and engaging and often seek out others
> with those same qualities, enjoying a mirror image of themselves.
> Flexibility and an expansive mind are also hallmarks of someone with
> their Venus in Gemini, and that razor's edge can lead to all sorts of
> delicious situations. Fancy staying up all night talking to your
> lover in a candlelit room with the essence of violet and juniper
> perfuming the air? Then the person with Gemini in their House of Love
> is the one for you! A note of caution, though: these talkers can also
> be tricksters, delighting in being a tantalizing tease. Potential
> mates who can take it as well as dish it back, however, should start
> lining up. Those with Venus in Gemini have the most restless of minds
> and inquiring natures, so their ideal partner is one who will always
> keep them guessing. How's that for a mating dance?
>
> Cancer
> Having Venus in Cancer makes one highly receptive to love, a seeker
> of amorous situations both real and unreal. Why is that? Those with
> this placement are emotional beings full of life and love, and if a
> match isn't at the ready, they'll just create one in their own
> fertile minds. The creativity and imagination of these individuals
> will serve them very well once a relationship is in place, so their
> lovers are in for a treat! Is a union filled with fantasy, make-
> believe and the joy and wonderment of a child what you crave? Well
> then, seek out that kindred spirit with Cancer in their House of
> Love. Play dates, and dates in general, will never be the same! When
> the Crab rules the game of love, it's a sweet bite, indeed. Nurturing
> and sympathetic, these kindly souls are likely to have a retinue of
> friends who are giving and true, just like them. At times, there may
> be mood swings which are just a response to a touchy and somewhat
> unsettled situation. Most of all, what lovers guided by Cancer need
> is emotional security from their mate. If this can be achieved, every
> day will be a parade for this blessed duo!
>
> Leo
> Venus in Leo is a sure sign of someone who is larger than life, at
> least where love is concerned. Showy, gregarious, loyal and
> extravagant only begin to describe this fun-seeking individual. These
> folks love to be loved and are hard to miss in any social situation,
> having a knack as they do for lighting up a room. The one thing these
> souls crave is someone who can appreciate what they're all about and
> love them for it. In return, plenty of love will be given back! A
> tendency to put themselves out there" can put those with this
> placement in a precarious position: if a relationship doesn't work
> out, will their ego be shattered? Perhaps, but only until the next
> big event and an opportunity to shine yet again! As long as the vibes
> are good, these happy folks make for a partner whose lust for life is
> unmatched. Dancing the night away? Yes, it's on the dance card, along
> with romantic weekends, heartfelt sentiments and tender touches. A
> match with someone touched by Venus in Leo is likely to be filled
> with expression and acceptance and will no doubt be an endless party.
> Get those dancin' shoes ready!
>
> Virgo
> Having your Venus in Virgo can be a bit of a sticky wicket: you're
> bound to be looking for the perfect relationship, but does such a
> thing even exist? Probably not, but these folks will delight in
> giving it a try! Those with this placement are methodical and
> evaluative in the game of love, adding and subtracting with each step
> to see if the sum total is a winner. Relating to others is important
> here, as is grasping the meaning of life. Is the latter possible? If
> anyone will get it, these folks will! A strong sense of what they
> want and need will keep those with this placement continually
> questing, at times resulting in a critical streak which is generally
> aimed at the self. While generally self-possessed, those with Virgo
> in the House of Love are not likely to be the ones initiating the
> romance dance. A bit of reserve dictates that their prospective mate
> will have to come a-courting, and with any kind of luck, they'll come
> loaded with sincere compliments. Boy, will that get results! The
> sweetest result will be a loyal and dedicated partner, as those with
> their Venus in Virgo are truest in an understanding relationship
> which shows promise of growth.
>
> Libra
> Having Venus in Libra means that you are forever young at heart and
> open to love. A keen eye for people and their needs makes these
> people a natural for relationships, combining this quality with a
> healthy dose of affection and an expressive nature. As those Libran
> Scales would dictate, however, trying to strike the right balance at
> every turn may be a bit much to ask. A better approach for those with
> this placement is to understand the principle of give and take and to
> use it as a guide to love. Those visited by Libra in their House of
> Love are great romantics, truly idealistic and ever forgiving. They
> also love a world filled with beauty, so a five-star meal at an
> idyllic retreat is the way to wow this lover. Talk about foreplay!
> The mating dance is essential to those with Venus in Libra,
> appreciating as they do a bit of extravagance in the name of love.
> The prize for pampering this pet? Someone who is compassionate and
> there for their lover and who understands the importance of both a
> physical and mental attraction. Those with the right stuff should
> step on up!
>
> Scorpio
> Those with Venus in Scorpio are the ones most likely to take a
> mystical, magical ride in the name of love. The fact that these folks
> are already mysterious serves to enhance the journey. Intense and
> powerful, those with this placement make for the most passionate and
> exciting of lovers. A bit naughty? You bet! That Scorpion in the
> House of Love can inflict a bite which will linger longer, and a
> darned sexy one at that. These are individuals who want it all: a
> connection on an intellectual, spiritual and physical level is the
> bare minimum. Added to that must be zest, fire and an intensity of
> epic proportions! With Venus in Scorpio, finding mates is not a
> problem. What will ensue, however, will be most interesting! Even so,
> these folks want their relationships to be keepers, valuing as they
> do a solid connection with a loyal partner. Anything short of this
> could break this lover's heart in two. That said, those with their
> Venus in Scorpio will be most blissful with someone who can match
> their passion and zest step for step. This game of love will be hot,
> but it's the end game which matters most.
>
> Sagittarius
> The dance card is packed for those with their Venus in Sagittarius.
> Spotting one potential lover is not likely the case, for these folks
> are attracted to many. This is the kind of situation which can make
> life interesting, to say the least. Does this mean those with this
> placement will never settle down? Not necessarily - it just means the
> search for a mate will be a spirited one! What's essential in this
> search is turning up a partner with a similar quest for adventure and
> penchant for activity. The freedom to be is also ideal, and once
> committed, those with Venus in Sagittarius are loyal and honest in
> their relationships. Happy feet are likely to afflict those with
> Sagittarius in their House of Love, as they love to travel and have a
> wandering spirit. As well, any type of physical activity or body
> movement is zen to these folks. Yoga? Meditation? Bioenergetics? It's
> likely to work for these happy souls. When the Archer is shooting his
> bows into your Love shack, just hope that he brings along with him a
> kindred spirit who understands that mental and physical stimulation
> along with a lust for life will always hit the bull's-eye!
>
> Capricorn
> Having Venus in Capricorn is a sure sign that the game of love will
> not be rushed. A better question might be whether things will get off
> the ground at all! Those graced by this placement are cautious to the
> core, not ones to jump into love or meander through various flings.
> Rather, the tender care of another is what will bring this lover into
> full bloom. That said, once insecurities and fear of rejection are
> shoved aside, those with their Venus in Capricorn can be loyal and
> true lovers who will work hard at making their relationship click.
> Don't expect a fountain of feelings to flow from these folks,
> however; expect them instead to be relatively private, albeit
> sensualists in the right situation. That situation is likely to be
> one where emotional and financial security is virtually guaranteed.
> Now that's not too much to ask, is it? Well, hard worker that the
> Goat is, those with this placement can expect to spend much of their
> time doing the work which will ultimately lead to relationship bliss.
> The fruits of this labor? A faithful and devoted lover. Not bad!
>
> Aquarius
> Can you say New Age? Yes, when it's Venus in Aquarius, it's
> definitely the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, which in this case
> means a delight in utter experimentation into new and uncharted
> territories of love. Can you handle it? Well, these folks surely can,
> and they wouldn't have it any other way. Unconventional, outrageous
> and willing to try anything once, this is the roller-coaster ride in
> the Midway of Love! Those with this placement seek thinkers as well
> as adventurers, and if they're rolled into one attractive package,
> all the better. See, it's physique which adds to the mystique here,
> and those with their Venus in Aquarius consider a beautiful body
> (theirs and anyone else's) as a prerequisite to love. This aesthetic
> isn't a be-all, end-all, however. The mind game at work with this
> placement could challenge anyone! Having Venus in Aquarius means a
> steady dose of emotional highs and lows, a few sensible and many not.
> That's the beauty of living in a dream world! Those graced by this
> placement where affairs of the heart are concerned make the most
> compassionate and humanitarian of lovers, however they are well
> served to seek out a mate who can appreciate their unique outlook on
> life - and love!
>
> Pisces
> Those with their Venus in Pisces are often in love with the notion of
> being in love. Not very real, eh? Call it fantasy if you will, but
> those enjoying this placement are sensitive, compassionate and
> romantic souls who simply march to the beat of a different drummer.
> Much like the Fish who grace their House of Love, these folks love to
> swim in the sea of love. It's wet, wild and wonderful in there! Even
> so, this intense desire to be in love can lead to seeing what they
> want to see, not what is really there. How can this be? Isn't love
> supposed to be beautiful and true? Once again, a bit of fantasy mixed
> with reality, but that's what happens when Venus is visited by
> Pisces. As well, those with their Venus in Pisces see love and
> sexuality as spiritual experiences: a state of love is not worth
> achieving unless it is accompanied by complete transcendence and
> bliss. Not everyone can swim in this sea, but for those who can, it's
> a complete experience. Having your Venus in Pisces may mean that you
> spend a lot of time explaining yourself, especially where affairs of
> the heart are concerned. That's okay, because these people would only
> want to be with someone who appreciates, and understands, their often
> misunderstood soul.
