4. Venus Aspects - Expression of Affection.

Venus-Mars. Love and Passion unite. The male and female sides are related to each other and this will help create an attraction to and with the opposite sex. The nature of this attraction and the case with which it plays out depends upon the signs and aspects. Hard aspects bring challenges - a struggle to balance one's own needs and the needs of the partner. Selfish demands could ruin an otherwise good union. The ideal is to be less demanding, more accepting of oneself and of the other. Easy aspects and the conjunction (well aspected), indicate a talent for relating to the opposite sex, being a loyal and fun-loving partner with an ability to balance intimacy with independence. It will be easy to attract lovers and sex will be satisfying.

Venus-Jupiter. Love and expansiveness unite, giving a fun loving, generous approach in relationships, marriage and towards life generally. Being generous with partners, spoiling and indulging those who are loved - this comes naturally and will bring a blessing to unions. However, with hard aspects there is a need to make sure that one's behaviour does not become extravagant so that financial worries arise causing trouble in the union. Some with this combination can be irresponsible and unwilling to work through problems. There may be a childlike expectancy that someone will always come to the rescue, will always be there to give love and support. But overall, the aspect brings luck in life and love because of the generosity of spirit that this combination represents.

Venus-Saturn, Love and discipline unite. Faithful and loyal, those with this combination are dependable, stable and dutiful partners. It gives an ability to organise social occasions and the ability to form good business, personal and intimate partnerships. Some with this placement become involved romantically with an older person or someone who offers material security. Once formed, important relationships will endure because they are grounded on firm foundations. Easy aspects help such unions flow, helps love to arise and last. Hard aspects and the conjunction however, brings challenges. There may be a fear commitment, an inability to trust and show love. This can play out as trying to control the partner or vice versa, the partner is the controlling one. Such unions can be cold, devoid of love. Learning to love oneself is essential, because then there will be love to give to others.

Venus-Uranus. Love and independence unite. Uranus is called the divorce planet, but this combination can work if there is enough regard for the partner and the relationship. Problems arise (hard aspects and sometimes conjunction), if one insists upon maintaining full individual rights within the relationships and to be free to come and go. Choice of a partner is important, because there is a tendency to get bored and restless in traditional relationships. Spontaneity and intellectual stimulation are needed. Compromise is required to avoid spending the life alone or in short-lived, unstable relationships. However, some bachelor types may prefer this. Easy aspects indicate that freedom, change and excitement can be found in relationships. There is an ability for both partners to express their individual interests, while maintaining a loving union. This combination enables love to be continually refreshed.

Venus-Neptune. Love and spiritual-sensitivity unite. This combination throws a rosy glow over relationships and marriage. Those with this combination may seek a perfect partner who only exists in fairy tales. When a real human being comes along, they are disillusioned. Especially with the conjunction and hard aspects. It gives an idealistic but unrealistic way of viewing life. Partners may be attracted who appear wonderful on the surface, but lack substance and stability. The goal is to see oneself and others as they really are, not how we wish they were or could be. In such a case, the emotions should be balanced and one's expectations adjusted. But overall, the urge to find and express beauty is accentuated and there is loving compassion for the less fortunate. A spiritual orientation is present - along with musical and artistic talent. Easy aspects help these to manifest healthily. Hard aspects mean we have to sift through delusion before finding the real thing.

Venus-Pluto. Love and wilfulness unite, bringing drama to personal relationships. In love, there are no half- measures. Pluto adds an intensity and depth of feeling so that one can be consumed with love and passion and expect the partner to feel the same way. This becomes destructive (hard aspects and conjunction), if “love” becomes obsessive and steps are taken to manipulate the partner to keep control. Moderation is required. Easy aspects bring the right balance so although there is the tendency to bond deeply with the loved one, there is also an ability to make the necessary changes demanded to keep the union healthy, balanced and wholesome. But generally, there is a deep well of unending love to give.

Venus-Vesta. Love and purification unite. Any misuse of sexual energy (hard aspects), or ongoing problems in relationships that defy fixing; need attention. The traits causing the problems are also impediments to spiritual progression. If these exist, take time out of life for regeneration, to improve the relationship skills and to find beauty in one's life purpose. Easy aspects indicate that the right balance can be struck, between the personal, intimate life and spiritual endeavours.

Venus-Juno. Love and marriage unite. The ability to commit deeply to a formal relationship is strong. But hard aspects indicate difficulties. There could be a reluctance to marry or to commit fully because flirtatious games are more fun. Alternatively, jealousy and possessiveness could destroy an otherwise healthy union. For harmony's sake, the partner and the relationship need to be more highly valued. Easy aspects indicate that marriage will go well because one is a romantic and will remain so; and a partner will be attracted who be the same. Together, a very beautiful, loving and intimate relationship can be formed.

Venus-Ceres. Love and nurturing unite. Parental nurturing and the love required to develop into a self- confident and loving adult, these come with the easy aspects and the conjunction - so will the ability to nurture people. On the other hand, hard aspects indicate that this kindness was not available resulting in low self- esteem. Without healing, this will impair the ability to nurture children or others. The remedy is to provide the nurturing that was withheld, by being kind to oneself - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Venus-Pallas. Love and mental-creativity unite. Wise in the ways of love, mental-creativity and artistic skills can be used to beautify oneself and to enhance all relationships. These skills can also be used to build a successful career that is associated with Venus - such as in art, cosmetics, design or counselling. Hard aspects show that over-thinking, being too analytical and a lack of empathy will harm unions. The challenge is to learn from bad experiences and apply the wisdom gained to build more beautiful relationships in the future.

Venus-Chiron. Love and healing-wisdom unite. Childhood wounds associated with being lovable (or not) will be more serious with hard aspects. Rejections from parents or carers, being deprived of kindness and attention, these will result in difficulties in giving and receiving love. If so, the goal is to learn to unconditionally love and accept oneself. Easy aspects and the conjunction, indicate love and nurturing was provided and this helped to heal emotional wounds from previous lives - or, alternatively, it will be easy to heal hurts suffered in the present life. The gift of this combination (all aspects), is the power to heal through love.

Venus-the Nodes. Love and spiritual-progression unite. The spiritual destiny is linked to the development of harmonious and balanced relationships with the soul, within oneself and with others. Art or beauty could also be involved. But the end goal is to develop intelligent love and to give this to others. This will be easier with the north-node conjunction and easy aspects. Venus conjunct the south-node and hard aspects indicate that emotional hurts from past relationships have not yet been resolved and are impediments to moving forwards. These must be dealt with to break the binding shackles around the heart.

Venus-Asc. Love and new beginnings unite. There is a nimbus of glowing beauty surrounding those who have the easy aspects and the conjunction to the ascendant. Affectionate and kind (and seen to be so by people looking on); this combination brings popularity and love. Hard aspects indicate clashes between the desire to love and putting it into practice. There is a need to reconcile these conflicts if harmony in intimate and personal relationships is to be found. With all aspects, wisdom is seeking expression into the life.

Venus-MC. Love and higher-goals unite. Those with this combination love to shine in the public eye and the career could reflect Venus' touch, such as those involving art, beauty, colour, harmony and counselling. Relationships and love will always be important. The partner should have a good reputation and relationships should be seen by the public as working well. This is especially so with the conjunction and easy aspects. There should be no “washing of dirty clothes in public.” The same ideals remain with hard aspects, but there are impediments. Unwise actions - one's own or the partners, could bring unions into disrepute. Either way, loving relationships and a career that brings pleasure to the life are important life goals.
