Venus is the planet of love and prosperity that not only impacts our material scope of life, but the love we give to ourselves and others. With Venus recently entering Pisces, (which personally happens to be my Venus placement that transited on my birthday March of all things), I felt it was a sign to write about Venus’s place in our natal chart. Venus spends anywhere between 23 days to 2 months in a sing. Understanding and working with your Venus placement can help you navigate what you love in your life. It can tell you what areas in your life you put more love towards and what is complicating prosperity coming into your life.
Venus’s message for us through our natal chart, is that love and prosperity must flow together not against one another. The heart is often undermined in patriarchal society and we need to collectively change that. If we dis-value love as less important than material success, our hearts will never find its soul connection. Venus is the duality of feminine (love) and masculine (materialism) aspects we counter in our everyday life. The lesson with Venus is to honor the connection between materialism and love. This relationship cannot co-exist without the other being equally appreciated. What you put value towards in your life will attract loving abundance.
As I am currently going through a period of reflection and healing in my life, I am trying to repair this relationship of the material and the emotional. I have spent the past few years working against their connection, for I was unaware of the value of them working in unison. It is a personal journey that is taking precedence in my life this year, but I am just in the beginning stages. I have never put much discipline in this area of my life before, but I am glad I am starting now.
In this post I am only covering Venus sign placements, if you would like a more detailed version that goes over what house your Venus falls in, you can book a natal chart reading with me through my Etsy.
Venus In Pisces
I am starting with Venus in Pisces, because this is currently where Venus is. When you have Venus in the 12th House you encompass the traits of Pisces. During the next few months we will all be under Pisces gentle spell of romantic disarray. You will be feeling more tenderness and acceptance toward yourself and others. Yes, we may be caught up in fantasy at this time, but we must stay aware of delusions we may have in our relationships. Do not forget to question others behaviors. This is not the best sign to commit in, for things are not always what they seem. We may be so caught up on the idea of someone, yet when the mask is pulled from over our eyes, we see the real deal. This is a better energy instead to cultivate new creative ventures that can help you be more prosperous.
When you have your Venus in Pisces, you are dreamy, creative, sensitive and enchanting to potential lovers. Romance is something you appreciate and the love you express is unconditional. Pisces have the tendency to help those in need. With this Venus placement you enjoy being the sovereign to your loved one. Dating a Venus in Pisces individual is a challenge, for they are not one to commit easily. They not only have to figure out your feelings towards them, but they need to figure out theirs towards you. There will not be much direction in the game of love when trying to seduce a Venus in Pisces, for they like to keep you on your toes.
One challenge Venus in Pisces lovers have is succumbing to their shadow self. Pisces rules the deeper parts of our psyche and can easily become caught in the web of their own self-destruction or illusions of the past. This can hinder their forward progress in romance, for they are concentrated on figuring out the deep mysteries of love and what they can do differently this time around. With regards to materialism, your greatest concern is how your creative pursuits can lead you to financial success and achievements. You may find more enjoyment in this area of your chart more so than romance. You are very connected with your imagination to help you create the life you want. You may also find a lover who is the patron of your art or craft. Connecting with people from higher places will help your career extensively and you may meet a potential lover along the way.
Venus In Aries
Venus in Aries folk love love, but prefer to get it their way. All the traditional rules of courtship and chivalry are thrown out the window, for you like to lead in the quest of love. When you find someone that has caught your eye, you are direct in your feelings towards them and want to get started right away in the relationship. The initial stages of the chase are fun in the beginning, but you soon realize that relationships do require a lot of time and energy away from yourself, now that there is another person involved in your life. You may struggle with this concept that you need to put others first sometimes and not every view you have for the relationship will be accepted by your partner. It is best to have some caution in the game of love and to learn restraint. Jumping into something because, it ‘feels’ right in the moment may be fun, but it can be short-lived if you are not careful.
Venus works better for you in term of leading material endeavors. Also, there is no stopping your unwavering determination towards a goal you have. Use your impatience in landing a lucrative deal or being the first to jump start a project for your team at work. You can find these attributes will warrant you much success in the material plane. Connect with your Venus by showing the attentive amount of kindness that you give yourself, back to others. People will really appreciate you taking the time to consider their needs, for they know your attention in pulled into many directions. You are truly admirable, allow people to look up to you as you lead them along.
Venus in Taurus
Slow and steady wins the race and this is your approach not only in life, but in love. With Venus as your ruling planet, there are no challenges manifesting materialism and love into your life. Where others struggle, you are a pro. You take your time in dating and romance for you really want to make sure you feel secure in every choice you make. You are all about making safe investments that reflect the solid future you want to have, so you are in no rush to find the perfect partner. This disciple also connects to material aspects of your life as well. Any move you make in your career or through what you value is done with careful thought and consideration. Venus feels at home in your sign, for you understand how put your desire for materialism to its best advantage. You relay on Venus to guide you in this area of life, for financial achievement is most important to you.
However, your challenge is to remember the spontaneity of love, so you do not get stuck in your ways. Try to be more adventurous and allow your loved ones to guide you towards exploration. You may have a type or this fabricated idea of what you want in relationships, but it may not be what you really need. You may also fall into the habit of complacency in life, for you are timid when moving into a new direction. Remember, that not all change is negative, but is vital for your growth. Be more open with what you love and value so you do not become stuck in the past or have everyday look the same.
Venus in Gemini
When you have your Venus in Gemini, no one can pin you down and no one may really know who you are for very long. You have many different sides of your personality, but this is what makes you an interesting lover. People like to be surprised and you also bring a sense of humor to your love life. This is a breath of fresh air that sets you a part from everyone else. Your lovers enjoy the chase with your, for it is never dull and full of surprises. Each day is different and you desire a lover who was built for adventure. Also, you rule intellect and communication, so whoever has your eye must also have wit and gander. A sense of humor would also be great, so they can laugh at all your jokes. Overall, you need a lover as equally fun as you are, but can keep you grounded both mentally and emotionally. However, you tend to be more intellectually amused, so do not forget to respond to the beating tremors of your heart and allow someone in.
In terms of connection to the materialistic side of your Venus, your hearts desires will be in a realm of the written or spoken word. Allow your skill in this area to bring you the coin. Use your power like Samantha Jones - PR extraordinaire from Sex and the City, to help you facilitate more power into your world. Your words and mind can help you create the world you desire. These are your tools and will bring you abundance. If you are shy and afraid of public speaking, this gift does not have to be vocal, but written. On the contrary maybe you have a lot to say and have no filter. You should seriously consider starting a podcast. Thrusting yourself into media will be your key and may even bring you into the spotlight so your crush can notice you.
Venus in Cancer
Having your Venus in Cancer is a tender placement, for you prefer to put family matters close to your heart. You desire a lover who puts family first and you are completely devoted to your partner and accept all their flaws. However, you may rely on them too much and may be co-dependent on them, especially in financial matters. You must make it a habit to remember power is in your identity, not your families. Also, you may struggle getting caught up in caring for others that you forget about your own needs. Remember if you do not have love for yourself, you will never be able to properly give it back to others. As a lover your devotion knows know bounds and you keep your circle tight, so those in it are worthy of your attention. You know you have a rich but, small circle of love always around you, honor this. You do not need to go far and wide for love is always near your home.
On the other side of Venus, do not forget your edge and that you need to be tough from time to time. People will try to take advantage of your compassion. Recognize this and cut ties with these people. Also, you may benefit from working at home, for this is your sacred place. Aligning with career with your family and home life, will work wonders for you. Also, finding passion in teaching, art, and care-giving careers will help you express your need for loving others. Be open to expanding your horizons where your nurturing gifts can shine.
Venus in Leo
You are the star of the show in love and romance. You desire a lover who treats you like the queen or king that you are. You enjoy the attention of romance and the game of love. Getting swept up in love and your many admirers is the greatest feeling for you. Leo rules romance, children, and the dramatic arts. Use these attributes as your headway into attracting the perfect suitor. Maybe an actor has caught your eye or maybe you have the personality to land any crush with a bat of an eye. You are the lioness of your sexual prowess and the world around you notices. You command the attention of the room and your lover will not have a hard time finding you, for you were born to be seen. On the other hand do not become too cocky or conceited, for you may think you are the star, but what you really desire is to be the sun. Sometimes you have to let others shine and have attention as well. Remember, it is not always about you, there are two lovers in this story.
In terms of material success of a Venus in Leo, a career in the arts will honor your enthusiasm. Find creative ways that can excel you into the spotlight with financial rewards as the benefit. Maybe starting a YouTube channel is the answer? Or spearheading a business that works with the social world with you as the face of it. If these ambitions are not for you, then your lover may be of fame and fortune. You will not mind, as long as it benefits you in some way.
