The Laws of Attraction
Venus: Your Inner Passion
Venus is the Roman goddess of beauty. In astrology, we look at your Venus to determine who or what you are most attracted to. The position of Venus in your natal chart shows your lover, and things that you’re in love with.
Unlike most myths which claim that she is the goddess of love, Venus does not actually rule love. She is actually the embodiment of desire, of sex, of erotic pleasure and lust. In other words, she rules the primal urges of men and women. She is passion.
In a woman’s chart, if Venus if found rising in dawn (before the Sun), she is considered a very seductive lady, with numerous love affairs. Men are irresistibly drawn towards her.
In a woman’s chart, if Venus is found rising in evening (after the Sun), she is considered more modest and able to control her desires better. As such, she is more careful in choosing her partners.
In a man’s chart, Venus refers to his lover / girlfriend, while an older man will find Venus referring to his daughter(s), or one of his children. This is because Venus also shows his relationship with younger women, typically a girl blooming in her youth.
Venus can also indicate your hobbies, or what you find attractive. For example, Venus in Cancer can mean a person who enjoys cooking or eating, somebody who is really into food.
Venus in fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) shows an individual who is bold, selfish, demonstrative and action-oriented in love. In a man’s chart, he will be attracted to the aggressive, fiery type of women.
Venus in water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) shows an individual who is emotional, sensitive, spiritual and values privacy in love. In a man’s chart, he will be attracted to the emotional and private type of women.
