Venus in Aries – this subject is a lively and passionate partner who falls in love suddenly and deeply. They can be selfish (the influence of the main Arian downfall).
Venus in Taurus – the influence of Venus is very strong here as it is the ruling planet of Taurus. This aspect indicates sensuality, romance, and a deep capacity for loving and caring.
Venus in Gemini – there is a need to share intellectual and emotional feelings with this placing and although the outcome can be fun, there is also a risk of betrayal if the level of stimulus cannot be maintained.
Venus in Cancer – all the Cancerian traits of warmth, kindness, and affection are emphasized by this pacing but the negative aspect can be a claustrophobic need to maintain a relationship.
Venus in Leo – this is a dynamic aspect. With this placing, you can expect a fiery, dramatic, and passionate commitment to the relationship. The need for fulfilling sex life is important but everything can become over-emotional.
Venus in Virgo – this subject is naturally shy and modest and some inhibitions may have to be overcome in order for them to enjoy a complete and loving relationship. Once this has been achieved they make loyal and true companions but must always guard against a destructive tendency to complain and find fault.
Venus in Libra – someone with this placing has an absolute need for a loving, emotional relationship. Venus is the ruling planet of Libra as well as Taurus and highlights the relationship aspect of this person’s chart. There is much affection, love, and kindness waiting to be given by this person.
Venus in Scorpio – this aspect of Venus accentuates the need for a sexually fulfilling relationship that must also be passionate and romantic. The Scorpio’s sting of jealousy can always appear at a moment’s notice.
Venus in Sagittarius – a zodiac sign who has this position of Venus in his birth chart, as a rule, loves freedom and no one can limit his movement. He loves traveling, and it is something like a hobby for this person.
Venus in Capricorn – the two main associations of this sign and the planet – worldly ambition from Capricorn, emotion, and love from Venus – make an odd combination and anyone with this aspect will need to work hard to take their relationships beyond the materialistic level. Once this is achieved there can be constant results.
Venus in Aquarius – this is a complex placing that can result in the glamour of romance overshadowing the true expression of love and feelings. The emotions of this subject can be too cold and the sacrifices required by love, too great.
Venus in Pisces – indicates a strong need to express love and emotion and indeed the person can be completely influenced by this need and make mistakes because of it.
