Venus in Aries

You know whom you like, and you want them right now! Love at first sight occurs for you frequently. You are fiercely independent and although you can enter into relationship quickly, you want to maintain your freedom & independence once you are partnered. No one tells you what to do if you can help it. You feel you have a special destiny to fulfill in this life. And you do- you are actualizing your independence and sense of self. You are attracted to people that offer you an adventure. You take the lead in romance, and if someone isn’t keeping your pace you may decide to pursue him or her more forcefully or give up completely. You operate instinctively and often put your needs for evolution before your partners. You oscillate between extremes of narcissism and losing yourself in your partner. When you realize you’ve lost yourself, you will retreat until you feel independent again but these cycles can leave your partner very confused. Reminder: In relationships, make sure to find someone that encourages your independence.

Venus in Aries people flirt by being up-front, direct, and even daring. They try to win you over by expressing how enterprising and independent they are. Their style of expressing love can be maddeningly "me"-centered, but the right person for them will find this approach charming. People get turned on by Venus in Aries' aura of innocent charm, even when they are being childish and impatient.

Venus in Aries men and women behave in a childlike, fun-loving manner in love. They are turned on by energy and activity. Turn-offs include a relationship that is considered stuffy or too "mature", vagueness, and beating around the bush. In love, Venus in Aries people are hopelessly addicted to the conquest. In order for a relationship to remain fresh and new for them, they require plenty of stimulation.

Pleasing Venus in Aries involves fueling their need for action. Be direct, open, and honest with them -- they won't much like game-playing or evasiveness, unless it is in the complete spirit of fun. Feed their need for spontaneity, and appreciate their playfulness. Understand their desire for the relationship to remain young and fresh. Aries likes to take the lead in love (even if their Sun Sign is gentle Pisces) -- let them, at least most of the time. Indulge them their many whims, and understand that they thrive on competition, even when they're competing with you!

Aries Personal Ad Bio: "I have a strong sense of adventure. I will win you over. I'm self-taught and self-sufficient."

Venus in Aries people don't necessarily take control but they do instinctively take the lead in matters of the heart. They don't easily adapt to others' feelings and moods.

Attracts by being direct and not beating around the bush - gets to the point. Hard to resist. Quick attractions.

With money, Venus in Aries may be impulse buyers. They are attracted to new and innovative products, but would do well to wait a few days before buying because the desire can pass quite quickly. Art that appeals to them is bold and active in tone.

Venus in Taurus

This is a strong placement since Venus rules Taurus. You are slow to make commitments and it takes time to get to know you. You are self-reliant and are able to take care of yourself in ways other people envy. You like the luxuries of life and are very sensual. You appreciate a partnership you can depend on. Creature comforts like fine food, wine and surroundings go a long way to win your heart. You have a tendency to be possessive in love since you have a hard time letting go of things that are important to you. In Aries, Venus learned about self and in Taurus you know who you are and you now carry a deep sense of self-possession and presence. You have a tendency to have difficulty embracing other peoples value systems since you feel so deeply rooted and connected to your own. Reminder: While it’s important to stabilize in self it’s paramount to find out what motivates other people. This will help stretch your consciousness so you can grow to your fullest potential.

Love for Venus in Taurus centers on the physical world and creature comforts -- they revel in sensual surroundings. These people project themselves as solid and comfortable. In fact, something about their manner promises they will be satisfying lovers and partners. They need a certain measure of predictability and dependability in their relationships, even if their Sun is in the more spontaneous signs of Aries or Gemini.

Venus in Taurus men and women can be possessive in love, and they are threatened by fast-paced, high-energy situations in the context of relationships and love. These are sensual partners who require lots of "hands-on" expressions of love. Their lovers may complain that Venus in Taurus can get a little too comfortable and settled. It's true that they resist change in their relationships, but even when they seem stuck in a groove, you can always reassure yourself by remembering that they are constant partners.

Pleasing Venus in Taurus involves emphasizing your loyalty, and their worth to you. You may need to give in to them in love matters, because they won't readily give in to you! Get physical with them; do comfortable things. Avoid pushing them in love -- give them plenty of time. You will probably need to cultivate patience if you are in a relationship with Venus in Taurus. Remember to be simple and natural -- Taurus will appreciate it. Promise them a comfortable, cozy time.

ATaurus Personal Ad Bio: "I am a dependable guy/gal. My ideal date consists of good food, fine wine, and cuddling up with each other at home."

Venus in Taurus people are very physical lovers, with a great appreciation for scents, sounds, feels, and pleasing form. Can be very patient in love. Their charm is natural and earthy.

They can be possessive in love and with objects. Venus in Taurus people are attracted to products of high quality and durability. They can be good with their money, spending lavishly only on objects of beauty, long-lasting objects, and food. They are not usually especially generous people and are typically quite practical and patient when it comes to saving and spending money. Harmony and peace are important factors in the art and music they are attracted to. They abhor gawdy, cheap, tacky, or excessively loud/bold art, clothing, and possessions.

Venus in Gemini

You are witty and intelligent and you appreciate the same in a partner. You can hold a conversation on many diverse topics and you get turned on by a partner with whom you can share your thoughts. Relationships are more mental than emotional and you may frequently wonder if someone more interesting is on the horizon. This can make you appear fickle in love. You want to know that you have the freedom to come and go as you please or you feel smothered. You have a tendency to talk around issues rather than address them directly. Your sharp mind and quick wit make you good company in any situation. Gemini is an air sign, meaning you are prone to inner restlessness and never ending mental chatter. You oscillate between cycles of expansion where you take information in indiscriminately and then cycles of contraction where you withdraw. When you withdraw you then process and assimilate the information you gained during your expansion period. Reminder: Choose a versatile partner who allows you the freedom you need so power struggles don't occur down the road.

Venus in Gemini people will try to win over the object of their affection with witty conversation, displaying just how much they "know", and demonstrating their diverse interests. These lovers are playful -- some might even call them a tease. They are hard to pin down, and they resist relationships that promise to become too "comfortable". Even those with their Sun in Taurus or Cancer, whose outward demeanor may suggest some reserve and caution, will want their relationships to be stimulating and full of conversation with Venus in Gemini.

Venus in Gemini men and women don't want to be tied or bogged down in their relationships. They appreciate lightheartedness in love. Although they are willing to talk (perhaps endlessly) about the relationship, you may get the feeling that they gloss over some of the deeper issues. In love, their tastes change often, and it can be hard to know what to expect from one day to the next (or, sometimes, from one hour to the next!).

Pleasing Venus in Gemini involves supporting their need for fun and variety, showing interest in their brainpower and knowledge, and giving them space for friends and activities outside of the relationship. Let them know just how much fun you have with them. Try not to get overly miffed by Venus in Gemini's changeable, fickle ways. Remember that time spent with your lover will be exciting and invigorating.

Gemini Personal Ad Bio: "I am fun-loving. My ideal date consists of going to a cafe, taking in a movie, and talking about it."

Venus in Gemini sometimes get involved in relationships solely out of curiosity. They are intellectually curious about people, and are eternally fascinated by social interactions. Although they usually enjoy flirting, they may remain somewhat aloof when it comes to matters of the heart.

Curiosity motivates them on romantic and social levels. "Variety is the spice of life" is their attitude in love, in social relationships, and with personal possessions. They are sociable, communicative, and interested. They can be animated and fun but may also keep their distance on an emotional level. Attractions often begin with words, as they tend to bond more readily on a mental level. The shadow side of Venus in Gemini is fickleness.

Venus in Gemini people spend money on books, information, social events. They are somewhat fickle when it comes to their attachment to objects and personal possessions, and they seek variety in the things that they own. Some enjoy the thought that can go behind making purchases, weighing various options. They are attracted to art that is expressive, verbal and social in tone, light, and happy.

Venus in Cancer

You are sensitive in love and often put your partners needs before your own. You like to cook for your partner or take care of their needs in some special way to show you care. While you love doing this, you might feel slighted when your partner does not return this type of caring. You can be moody and hang onto hurts for longer than is necessary. You value home, family and those you love. You treat your friends like family members. You carefully observe those around you and find ways that you can quietly meet their needs. You're inundated by your inner emotional world frequently, which can shift dramatically depending on your mood. This can leave you feeling vulnerable because your emotional nature is always in flux. Deep down you want someone to take care of you and offer you stability, however when you learn to diminish your projection of dependency on others for your emotional security you will be most fulfilled. In other words, take responsibility for your own inner child and you will attract appropriate partners and feel less vulnerable in doing so. Reminder: Let others know your needs instead of expecting them to silently know what you want.

Love for Venus in Cancer is best when it is committed and rather predictable. These people are sensitive in love, even if their Sun sign is the more playful and outgoing signs of Gemini or Leo. You may even say their egos are a little underdeveloped when it comes to love, but they have a lot to give in return: namely, security, comfort, and care.

Venus in Cancer men and women show their love by caring for you. They pay more attention to your feelings than your words, and observe you rather carefully. They want a safe, solid relationship. They can be a little moody in love, and some go so far as giving silent treatments and engaging in pouting routines to get attention from their mate. They are turned off by anything impersonal, and too much rationalizing leaves them cold. They are not afraid of emotional confrontations (even if they have a Gemini Sun and appear flighty in other areas of life). Still, these lovers are always worried they'll be left high and dry. If you've hurt them, they'll have a hard time forgetting. Every so often, they'll retreat into themselves (not unlike a Crab), and it can be difficult to pull them out. This is when they use their extraordinary "nursing" abilities on themselves, instead of you...and you simply don't want that!

Pleasing Venus in Cancer involves lots of snuggling and sentimentality. Recognize their attachments to their family and home. Help them to feel confident with you -- when they are fearful of being rejected, they can resort to some frustrating tactics to find out just how loved they are. Think about how a crab (the symbol of Cancer) moves towards its goal, and you will get a fair idea of Venus in Cancer's approach. Do your best to make them feel secure and cared for, and you will be rewarded with a patient, dependable, and loving mate.

Cancer Personal Ad Bio: "I'm just a regular guy/gal. I've built a solid foundation. I'm comfortable and comforting. I care. I stick around. My ideal date consists of eating in, and snuggling up to each other."

Venus in Cancer people are sensitive, sentimental, and caring. They can be possessive and clannish. They will generally bend over backwards for someone they love, but might keep too much to themselves and eventually feel resentful if affection is not returned in a similar manner. Venus in Cancer people are nurturing, protective and self-protective, cautious, and fertile. They may experience many emotional ups and downs in love due to sensitivity and impressionability. They are tender, romantic, and attached. Cancer love is dedicated, warm, and devoted. They show their love through devotion, care, and concern. They are affectionate and cuddly, and are at their best when they feel safe and secure.

Too much attachment to the past can prevent Venus in Cancer people from enjoying the moment. In fact, the past may be glorified with Venus in Cancer to the point that the present is not appreciated, even though it will one day be the past!

Venus in Cancer people generally save for a rainy day and can be quite frugal with their money. They will spend the most on their family and close friends, as well as on building their homes. They are attracted to art that is traditional, homey, and romantic.

Venus in Leo

You are proud and know how to enjoy life. You are not short on charisma or charm. You have an inner need to creatively express yourself and your true nature. Although you present as uber-confident you aren't as confident as you appear under the surface. You want your love to include a heavy dose of romance otherwise you aren't interested. You will give of yourself endlessly only wanting appreciation in return. You thrive on attention from those around you and sometimes feel that others’ lives revolve around you. You are more sensitive than others know yet you are often too proud to voice your hurts because your pride gets in the way. For you to stay happy you need loads of personal attention from your significant other. You expect them to constantly notice how special you are and let you know. You have a naturally creative soul but find you get blocked when your ego gets in the way. Because you want others to notice your specialties, you have an innate ability to notice how they are special as well. This makes people feel wonderful basking in your warmth. In relationships you must learn to give without expecting anything in return. Your sense of self doesn't need to be so dependent on outside accolades. Reminder: Find an outwardly loving mate and keep your pride in check.

When Venus in Leo people are in love, they are proud, even boastful. This position of Venus can turn humble Virgo Suns or retiring Cancer Suns into somewhat demanding lovers. Venus in Leo loves to court and be courted, and they need to feel very special. They are warm, generous, and even grand. Though really quite loyal to their partners (remember that love is THE most important thing in Leo's life), they thrive on attention from the opposite sex. Be prepared for their displays: they will tell you about any advances members of the opposite sex make on them. Remember, they're just showing off to you, and it's likely harmless. It's a different story if you do the same, however. That's when you'll hear the lion roar...and, no doubt, you'll want to keep these cats purring. Venus in Leo wants to appear experienced in love, even if they have little or no experience whatsoever!

Venus in Leo men and women have high expectations, but once you know that these expectations revolve only around how much attention you are giving them, you'll see that they are really quite big-hearted about most everything else. They are threatened by a relationship that appears to have settled too much, or one that's lost its spark. They are also threatened by indifferent or impersonal behavior on your part.

Although their needs for physical expression through sex are generally quite strong, their need for love is perhaps even stronger. It is hard for Venus in Leo people to separate love and sex, and even their most erotic fantasies are infused with love and affection. For this reason, few Venus in Leo folk would last long in a relationship that is mostly sexual. On the flip side, they may last longer in a love-only relationship in the absence of satisfying sex, but they are unlikely to feel very satisfied.

Pleasing Venus in Leo involves paying loads of attention to them. If you're willing to make only one adjustment in your ways, it should be to remind Leo how wonderful they are. Respect and appreciate them, always. Put up with their childlike moments and their tall tales. They want to be seen as attractive by you, so avoid (at all costs!) putting them down in this area. They actually lose interest when they perceive the slightest loss of interest in their partner, and you can expect that any letdown will be acted out in a dramatic fashion. Remind them, in a gentle way, that your emotions count too. If you are feeling a little jealous, let them know. Remember, to Venus in Leo, your small jealousies are affirmations that you find them attractive and expect the rest of the world to as well. Let them decide where to go on a date, and let them pay too. When Venus in Leo feels loved and appreciated, they reward you with loyalty, a big sense of fun, and plenty of physical expressions of their love.

Leo Personal Ad Bio: "I'm warm-hearted and fun. I'm funny, and experienced. Let me show you a good time."

Love is magnificent and grand to Venus in Leo people. They take pride in love and their love relationships, and they are typically generous with their money. This is a warmhearted, teasing, expressive, proud, and extravagant placement for Venus. Love is a bit of a game--a game that is perpetual, as Venus in Leo is forever stuck in the romance stage of a relationship. They feed on attention, acknowledgement, validation, and adoration. Venus in Leo loves to be adored, pampered, and admired. They have a strong ego investment in their love lives. The negative expression of this placement is overstating of feelings simply for the effect, as well as extravagance.

Venus in Leo people may spend a lot on entertainment or sometimes just to show off! They generally are big tippers and give special and generous gifts. They are attracted to art, furnishings, clothing, and music that is bold and passionate, renaissance, lush or opulent, lavishly comfortable, and romantic.

Venus in Virgo

You are dedicated, hard working and practical. You have a humility about you that others find endearing. You're happy to do tasks for the one you love to show them you care. Doing the shopping, taking care of household chores and cooking dinner are all more admirable to you than flowers and all things showy. No detail is too small to pass you by and you offer seemingly helpful suggestions sometimes when others wish you wouldn't. You do this as a way to show you care. You tend to be overly critical of yourself and others. This is because you carry around guilt from previous lifetimes where your ego got in your way. You feel inwardly quite alone and you may carry some level of guilt from previous sexual encounters that you view as dirty. You can be picky about finding a mate and may get hung up on the details instead of finding a person that is an overall good fit. Boastful, ostentatious people are a huge turn off to you. The way out of your inner guilt crisis is to develop a relationship with a higher power or universal spirit that teaches you true forgiveness. As with any forgiveness, you must start with yourself first, dear Virgo. Reminder: Don't beat yourself up so much.

Venus in Virgo people are not the flirtatious sort. Instead, their appeal lies in their dedication, their willingness to work on the relationship, and to make the relationship work in real terms. Unlike Venus in Leo, they won't try to impress you with grand gifts or promises. Their gifts are less showy, but perhaps far more generous -- gifts of devotion and attention to details about you.

Venus in Virgo men and women quietly (and often slowly) make their way into your heart. They are quite sensitive in love -- even insecure -- and this reserved, loner-like quality is part of their appeal. They prefer to play it safe in their relationships, and they need to be confident that you like them before they make a move. They are great listeners and they make it a habit to observe and learn all of your ins and outs. Their love can be of the Kindergarten variety -- they show they care by nagging or criticizing. Remember, though, that they are not trying to hurt you when they are pointing out the flaws in your thinking, plans, or even character. They truly are trying to help! Venus in Virgo is attracted to nondescript people who have largely gone unnoticed. Show-offs and know-it-alls turn them off.

Pleasing Venus in Virgo involves showing you appreciate them for all the little things they do -- and they do a lot. The problem is, they do these things so quietly that you may not always notice or credit them for all these kind gestures. They do need some space (after all, they're generally quite busy making everything work), so give it to them. Be genuine, not ostentatious. They are really not difficult to please after you have taken care of these basic needs. Avoid pushing your friends or family on them too fast -- remember they are a little shy. They aim to please, and are easily intimidated by your experiences. Let them know how much you value them, and they will reward you with devotion and a charming willingness to talk things out.

Virgo Personal Ad Bio: "I will care for you, and do lots of little things for you. I will help you."

Venus in Virgo people express their love through practical means and gestures--running errands, doing detail work, or just being there for their lovers. Love needs to make sense and have a purpose with Venus in Virgo. Virgo is an Earth sign, which is sensual but also quite practical. What they buy and the types of entertainment they enjoy are ruled by whether or not things make sense. They could easily feel guilty if they are too self-indulgent. Rendering services to others can fill a need, and can be an expression of love. The shadow side of this position is being overly critical of partners, picky, or worrisome. They might over-analyze their lovers, their lovers' reactions and words chosen, and their love lives in general.

Venus in Virgo people often spend their money with care, and usually on practical items instead of frivolous ones.

Venus in Libra

You are polite, kind and naturally dedicated to making your relationship work harmoniously. You're a great listener; you're considerate and pleasurable to be around. You have an appreciation for aesthetics and need to surround yourself with beautiful things. You may have difficulty asking for your own needs to be met because you are so focused on your partner. You are sensitive to the environment you live in. Having a partner is an important need for you and in many ways you won't feel fulfilled unless this need is met. This is because you are actually learning who you are by being in relationship with another person. You are an air sign, so sharing your ideas and beliefs with someone is especially important. You lean towards idealizing your partner and have a tendency to lose yourself in them. You can become like a chameleon and develop an inner confusion about who you really are, then become quite co-dependent on your partner. Even so, you strive for a sense of equality with those you partner with. Reminder: Put yourself first more than feels comfortable. Until you are happy you can't help others to your highest capacity.

Venus in Libra people will try to impress you with their kindness, evenhandedness, and willingness to make your relationship work. They have a polished manner in love, which sometimes makes them appear insincere or superficial. They are gentle lovers who hate to be offended. They are threatened by bad manners and direct or abrasive expression of feelings. They not only prefer to choose the middle road, they seek the middle ground in their relationships. You can expect to be treated fairly, and you may be turned on by Venus in Libra's willingness to concede and adjust their lives to fully accommodate you.

Venus in Libra men and women have idealized images of their relationships, even to the point where the relationship becomes bigger than life, taking on a life of its own. They can become quietly resentful if they feel they are being taken advantage of -- and they make it easy for more aggressive types to bully them around.

Pleasing Venus in Libra involves treating them kindly and fairly. They love to share everything with you, so let them. Foreplay for them can be mental -- they love to communicate with you about the relationship. Sharing turns them on, and tactless or uncouth behavior is a turn-off. Although they seem to put up with a lot, be fair with them. Over time, imbalance in their relationship is sure to make them unhappy, and when it comes to this, they may try to even the score in subtle, roundabout ways. Don't let it come to that, and you will be rewarded with a lover who puts themselves in your shoes and treats you exactly how they would like to be treated.

Libra Personal Ad Bio: "I'm just a nice guy/gal -- some say I'm too nice. I'm romantic and love good conversations. I will please you. All I ask for is fairness."

Venus in Libra people tend to employ charm rather than aggressive behavior in order to get what they want. Although Venus in Libra people virtually live for relationships, there can be an air of cool detachment to their demeanor. They are very obliging with others--quite willing to negotiate and compromise.

Venus in Libra people can be especially idealistic about love. They prefer things be done the "right" way, and are turned off by aggressive or uncouth behavior. The shadow side of this position is dependency, inconsistency, and superficiality. In an attempt to avoid unpleasant situations, they could easily gloss over deeper issues at play in their relationships. It's probably best to avoid the trap of acquiescing to their partners but privately resenting the fact or thinking themselves martyrs for doing so! They can be quite artistically inclined. They tend to seek balance in their personal environment, and can be quite picky or choosy when it comes to aesthetics--balanced, harmonious, classical art is preferred. They abhor gawdy, tacky, or overly "noisy" art, clothing, furnishings, and music.

Venus in Scorpio

You are interested in deep and intense relationships. Nothing less will do in matters of the heart. You feel an immediate spark with a potential partner or you feel nothing at all. When you feel connected with a person, they have your complete and undivided attention. The best match for you will be one who can meet your level of intensity and depth. You view sex as a deep, near religious experience in which you bond to the soul of your partner. You can be self-protective and covertly manipulate situations to your own liking. You are fiercely loyal and you can become jealous and possessive of your partner. You're driven by a desire to deeply learn about yourself. Where others are satisfied with a superficial knowing, you will go to the depths for self knowledge. You might even test your partner in the process to make sure they are worthy. What drives this is a curiosity about the origin of your emotional nature. You have x-ray vision when it comes to lies and you are able to see through shallow people without even trying. For this ability, many envy you, or are scared by you. Sometimes you may want to be the secret holder more than you want to share your own secrets. Reminder: For an equal partnership you have to be willing to share of yourself completely. That includes trusting someone with your secrets, dear Scorpio.

Venus in Scorpio people attract others with their intensity and willingness to commit. They have a strong and concentrated manner which suggests their feelings run deep. Their actions in love tend to promise deep commitment and sexual pleasure, even if they are not telling you this directly. Their appeal lies in their focus on you, and their dedication. Venus in Scorpio seems fearless when it comes to intimacy. Potential lovers get the feeling that Venus in Scorpio will never stray, that they are intensely loyal to the one they love. They possess you, and somehow make it seem attractive to be possessed.

Venus in Scorpio men and women give you their complete attention. These people are very focused on their partners. Depending on your personality, you may find this unnerving or entirely flattering. They have a strong need to control their partner, although this won't be immediately apparent, and they may not ever admit to this. Their body-and-soul love and commitment can be so intense that it eclipses fun and makes loving them a very heavy experience. Their emotion and intensity may seem overdone to those looking for a more lighthearted relationship. These people take things to extremes, and can be very provocative. Although they want to explore all of your nooks and crannies, they won't always be forthcoming with their own. When you've upset these lovers, you'll know it. Depending on the moment, Venus in Scorpio will shoot you one of the most piercing glares around, or totally blow up. Whichever style they choose, a slighted Scorpio lover is not a pretty sight. These people can be jealous of all of your attachments, but few will admit it. They're not afraid of being underhanded in matters of the heart, and they are experts at cutting through all the fluff and seeing you for what you are. Still, you may find their conclusions about you seem skewed and mistrustful.

Pleasing Venus in Scorpio involves demonstrating your complete commitment and loyalty to them. Appreciate their guts when it comes to love and intimacy -- they're proud of their courage in these matters. If you can, and they're deserving, relinquish some of the control in the relationship. Let them feel they own you, without taking it to extremes. Remember, though, that some Venus in Scorpio lovers can and will take advantage of you on a subtle level, if only to keep you all to themselves. Let them have their secrets and their silences.

Scorpio Personal Ad Bio: "I'm emotional and deep. I'll be very loyal too, forever. I'm looking for commitment. I'll make you happy in bed."

Deeply passionate relations are desired with Venus in Scorpio. Superficial flirtations and contacts do not satisfy, as they yearn for "body and soul" contact with someone special--contact that breaks the taboos, that is extreme and intense, and that is unforgettable. This is a highly emotional position for Venus. It is a passionate, sensual, and intense energy. Their relationships are immensely important to them, and they may even feel that relationships consume them. In fact, they tend to want to be consumed by them! Although the basic drive is toward intense closeness, blind faith in their partners is extremely hard. Fears of being too vulnerable or of giving up their own power to others is strong. Scorpio is an "all or nothing" energy, and relationships tend to be somewhat of a roller coaster ride as a result. Disdain for mediocrity and superficiality can compel them to create crises in order to feel alive and vital.

They can be hard to figure out or to get close to because they can go from one extreme of emotion to the next quite quickly. They sometimes appear very sensitive and yielding, and other times completely closed off, for example.

Their tastes in art, clothing, furnishings, and music tend to be dark, surreal, gothic, passionate. Most of their true character lies beneath the surface, and what they choose to put on display may even be deceptive. Fashion trends mean little to them.

Venus in Sagittarius

You are charming, outgoing, flirty and fun. You crave adventures of all kinds. You naturally possess an intuitive belief system and feel connected to the larger whole. You always want to be growing, learning and expanding which makes you naturally restless. You are idealistic, love to share your opinions and discuss things like philosophy and travel. You have a gift to be carefree and serious both at the same time. Your ability to see humor in situations is unparalleled. You don't mince words and this bare-boned honesty combined with your humor can have a healing effect on others who take themselves too seriously. You can be hard to pin down because you enjoy your freedom so much. When the going gets tough you may want to run away. Any attempt to squelch your freedom sends you into a cold sweat. Feeling like you need to meet other peoples’ expectations makes you feel trapped as well, so your partner best give you a long leash. Because you can be a commitment phoebe, you tend to look around the corner for what better shiny partner is coming next. Be careful not to get on a soapbox about things you believe in. Just because it holds true for you doesn't mean other people share your beliefs. Step outside your personal truth to really listen to what your partner is saying otherwise you'll fall into the trap of needing to be right all the time. Reminder: Find a partner who appreciates your need for freedom and doesn't hold you back.

When Venus in Sagittarius people are in love, they need to feel they can grow and expand their horizons through their relationship. They want to learn new things, and experience everything together. These are idealistic lovers who want you to appreciate their beliefs, visions, and ideals. They can be a confusing mix of the lighthearted and serious. They are roamers and seekers, and don't commit in their relationships as easily as others.

Venus in Sagittarius men and women turn others on with their big smiles and laughs, their jokes, their grand schemes, their dreams, and their friendly, flirtatious behavior. They pride themselves on their open minds, but you may notice they can be judgmental too. They are threatened by inhibitions on the part of their lover, dullness, and emotional overkill. They are restless, and won't put up with lovers who dwell on any one thing. When the going gets tough in their relationship, they have an overwhelming need to run away. Usually this only means getting out and experiencing something new before they come back, but sometimes it can be for good. They are attracted to people in love with life. You don't need to be refined, polished, or graceful to win their favor.

Pleasing Venus in Sagittarius involves allowing them lots of room in the relationship to grow. Avoid getting stuck in a rut, and understand their need to move on. Learn to laugh, but take their rants and raves seriously. Avoid criticizing their beliefs, join them in debates, and philosophize along with them. When they feel the need for more experience, join them! Learn to look past their clumsiness with you and your feelings, and avoid cornering them or forcing them to commit.

Sagittarius Personal Ad Bio: "I am fun and funny. I have joie de vivre and I love to laugh. I am open to experience."

Venus in Capricorn

You are dependable, loyal and faithful. Security is important to you and you tend to be quite practical when it comes to partnership. You know exactly what you want, no one would call you fickle in matters of the heart. When you are young you may find it’s easier to connect with adults and you may partner with someone older than your own age. In romance you keep your commitments, because duty and love are closely related. You have exquisite taste and have a keen eye for quality. Your love for beauty often includes an appreciation for architecture. You are a sensual earth sign, but you don't like outward displays of affection. You need to feel safe before your true sensuality is released. You can be reserved about sharing your feelings with your partner to the point you seem cold and calculating. This isn't your true nature, but you tend to keep your feelings close to your chest until you are sure you won't be vulnerable. Once your partner makes you feel safe, your childlike, playful tendencies will break through your surface veneer of stoicism. You often hold your stress in your physical body in a way that may make you prone to tension headaches or other bodily pain. Make sure you allow space in your life for bodywork or massage to soften the coat of armor your back can turn into. Reminder: Learning to heal your inner child wounds will allow your heart to soften and your true joy for life will be unleashed.

They like some measure of predictability in their relationships as they are cautious in love.

Venus in Capricorn men and women project an aura of competency and their loner-like behavior can be attractive, in a cool way. They don't go gaa-gaga over love, or at least they don't express as much. Their lovers may complain that Venus in Capricorns are a little too practical and deliberate.

Some may want to be financially stable before marrying, as this is an expression of their commitment. However, they fear instability, and they usually have a deep fear of rejection and of not measuring up, which can also be a motivator behind a strong drive to provide for a partner. Living up to others' expectations can also be a problem for some, and can prevent them from truly appreciating the moment.

Venus in Aquarius

To be your lover, a person must be your friend first. There is no way around this. You are open minded, forward thinking and a humanitarian. You inherently feel different from other people and often are rebelling against the norms of society. Partners might complain that you have a tendency to be cool and aloof when it comes to love. This is because of your tendency to be a detached observer noticing the behaviors of those around you. You enjoy friendships with a variety of people, often of all ages and different walks of life. You can easily turn a lover into a friend in a way that most of us can't imagine. The fastest way out of a relationship with you is for your partner to act possessive, jealous and start asking you how you feel about them frequently. Because you are an air sign you resonate in the realm of thoughts and ideas rather than emotions. This aversion to feelings may make you seem insensitive. Just because you are logical and rational doesn't mean you get to avoid validating others feelings. Your best bet is to choose a partner who is independent, intelligent and who doesn't get jealous easily. Reminder: You feel like an outsider sometimes, but this is your own projection. Don't let that prevent you from connecting with others on a deep level.

They like to choose their terms when involved in a relationship, and this can be challenging for a partner, as their terms can be changeable!

Venus in Pisces

You have a dreamy, romantic nature and tend to be idealistic when it comes to love. You offer people a love that is unconditional and sometimes you find wounded birds that you want to heal. You are kind and considerate and give of yourself completely when you are partnered. Sometimes you give so much that your kind nature can be taken advantage of. You have a creative imagination and are a lover of art and music. You can intuitively tap into what your partner needs. At times this can be your downfall because you lose sight of your own needs and who you are when you get lost in the needs of your partner. Your idealism can lead you to believe that your mate is perfect. Later when you see their flaws you can feel disillusioned. The symbol for Pisces is two fish moving in opposite directions. Often a Venus in Pisces person will seem pulled in two directions at the same time and therefore get nowhere fast. Their loving acceptance of others is unparalleled. No one seems to accept others with all their flaws like you can, and that makes you heartbreakingly loveable. Reminder: When merging with another person in relationship, remember yourself. Don't be afraid to set boundaries.

Venus in Pisces people project themselves as dreamy, soft-hearted partners. Everything about the way they flirt promises a lovely time. Theirs is an elusive charm -- they are sweetly playful, a little moody, and perhaps a little irregular. They appreciate romance and poetry, and they prefer to "feel out" both you and the relationship you share, so don't expect too much planning ahead. Their sensitivity can be a little misleading at times. Yes, they are sensitive folk, but lovers may find it maddening that this sensitivity is not only directed at them, but towards all of mankind.

Venus in Pisces men and women want you to know that their love is unconditional. They are unimpressed by your status, and love and accept you for all that you are inside. They love the underdog and are attracted to wayward folks, or those in need of a little help. With their romantic view of the world, they can be unreasonably attracted to states of suffering and martyrdom, so they easily get into the role of saving someone, or being saved. Unlike Venus in Libra, which thrives on equality, Venus in Pisces is actually turned on by inequality! They can be rather confusing and hard to pin down as they feel their way through their relationships. As much as they may want to, they find it hard to commit. Many do end up committing, however, at least on the surface.

Pleasing Venus in Pisces involves enjoying tender moments and romantic times with them. You won't always be able to count on them. In fact, you can be sure they will stretch the truth every once in a while. But remember they do this because they fear they might hurt you, and they can't bear to cause you any heartache. Try to understand them, although that's never an easy task considering the fact that they don't always know themselves. And, truth is, some Venus in Pisces privately have a love affair going with the idea of being misunderstood. Try to put up with their apparent lack of direction in the relationship -- they are so receptive and open to all possibilities that it is hard for them to commit to any one thing, idea, or even person. These intriguing partners will reward you with a love that is accepting and comes as close to unconditional as humans can get.

Pisces never sees the world in black-and-white terms. Rather, Pisces sees all the colors of the rainbow. With the goddess of love in Pisces, love is all-embracing, they are able to forgive and understand, they are seducible and seductive, and they show tremendous compassion to their partners. Venus in Pisces is tender and affectionate, although hard to reach nevertheless, as there is a longing for something that is hard to define and hard to satisfy. Borders and boundaries blur under Venus in Pisces. The shadow side of this position is allowing themselves to be victimized or deluded, as well as evasiveness.

Venus in Pisces people are attracted to situations of giving, martyrdom, and mercy. They want very much to forgive, allow, and give unselfishly. Because this is not always possible -- they are only human after all! -- there can be problems with seeing a lover or a relationship accurately and with resentments for being put upon or used.

In love, Venus in Pisces gives a lot, but not everything. Most important to remember is this: it's a mistake to assume a Venus in Pisces person is weak, but it's also a mistake to assume Pisces is strong. They are both. The message is: don't push them beyond their limits, because although it might appear that they have none, they do draw the line at some point. Avoid taking advantage of their good nature and willingness to make sacrifices. They see their willingness to forgive and understand as a strength, and you should too.
