Venus
rules both Libra and Taurus; they represent the two
aspects of Venus. The planet Venus is named for the
Goddess of Love, and therefore relationships, particular
love relationship fall under her jurisdiction. All
things that relate to relationships and the concept
of love and harmony are what this lady is all about.
Venus also controls the concepts of security and the
bottom line. When we think in terms of security we
also think in terms of money, but it is more than
that -- all forms of self-worth come under this Venus
energy as well. So this lady not only rules both the
signs of Libra and Taurus, but she also covers relationships
and money.
When
we think of Venus as a relationship indicator, we
are looking at what we use as our style to attract
the kind of partner we want in our life. This can
be problematic in and of itself, as the people you
attract are those you feel secure with as well as
worthy of. So here again the dynamics of self-worth
and how much we value ourselves will come into play.
We can only sell ourselves for what we feel we are
worth. Our ability to love can be found in the aspects
of Venus. The area of life in which we demand the
most harmony will also be found in the house Venus
resides.
Venus
is the planet where a woman first finds her own value
-- just as boys tend to use their Mars first; they
are aggressive and assertive and will use physical
force as a way to get or go after what they want.
But little girls are made of different stuff, and
for them it is Venus they identify with. They want
to be liked and to be popular. Generally girls do
not want to hurt anyone; they would rather look pretty.
So the sales concept begins. As children grown older
they will take on the “other” energy.
Boys will learn they get more when they look better
and take better care of themselves and a girl will
learn that it is sometimes very necessary to be aggressive
and assertive to get what they want. But in the beginning
they only want to please.
The
idea of security is very Venus -- that kind of security
that comes not only from a relationship but through
the acquiring of things, or material security. The
sign of Taurus can depict this well as they are generally
known for the need of things! Security comes from
owning that nice home and having that nice income
to keep up that nice home. So money and the earning
of money so that you can accumulate wealth is another
feature that falls under the energy of Venus.
Where
Venus is placed in your chart and how it is aspected
can help you to determine what it is you need not
only in a relationship, but also materially. You can
then look to transiting Venus in your chart to see
what area of your life might be receiving some kind
of benefit, because Venus is one of those planets
that is beneficial even when the aspects are not the
best.
