VENUS IN ARIES ♈️

You love (and burn through finances) hard, and fast! When it comes to what you value MOST - it’s likely your independence, sovereignty and freedom. In relationships you still really need to do things for yourself. The shadow of your relationships could also be that you are dominating, rash and very cut and run…. When you’re balanced in your relationships, you’ll have a really strong sense of self, great dynamic fast-paced life, and want to share that with someone similar who isn’t too needy and clingy, but also still shows up for you and chooses you whole-heartedly. Try not to make your relationships your battlefield, keep that for the outside world. Your ideal partner will understand your feisty high power, but crave your softness behind closed doors. You’ll be attracted to spontaneous, alpha types who are self-aware and still value love and relationships like you do, but in a really healthy, co-interdependent way.

 

VENUS IN TAURUS ♉️

You love (and spend your money) in an indulgent, high-quality way. Meaning, you’ve got high standards when it comes to the stuff in your life; including those you relate with. Taurus Venus folks are the embodiment of love and value; The Empress personified. When it comes to what you value most; it’ll likely be related to the senses - what makes you feel alive and in your pleasure? How does your partner (and surroundings) smell, taste, feel, look and sound? In shadow, your refined palette for the finer things might translate into having such high standards that no one can ever meet them, leading to being left in the dark abyss, you may also tend to over indulge - gluttony and sloth archetypes come to mind. You’ll love a supportive partner so that you can rest more into your receptive nature.  What you value is someone who is consistent, abundant in both love and resources and has deeply rooted connection to the earth. 

 

VENUS IN GEMINI ♊️

You love (and blow cash) in frivolous, novelty and fun ways; always wanting whatever it is you are interested in at this (fleeting) moment to give your life some stimulation and lift your spirits! You are totally on the pulse of life! You might struggle a little in love and relationships, purely because you know there is so much more to life than staying anywhere the same for too long - you thrive in dynamic and different environments, which comes at a cost. Ideally, you partner and relate with people who are mentally stimulating and interesting, and you value fun, enthusiasm, change and play in your relationships. In shadow, you’re non-committal and wishy washy, perhaps a little shallow. You might also find that people really are attracted to your personality and being with you due to your friendly and approachable nature.  

 

VENUS IN CANCER ♋️

You love (and spend your coin) in sentimental, nurturing and inspiring ways; deeply committed to the process, often with your heart on your sleeve. If you’ve been burnt in love; you might find it challenging to open back up to it again, with your shadow self leaning more towards withholding yourself and your love, retreating and disconnecting completely. Be aware of this ability to stay in self-protection mode for too long; and instead romance yourself back into a strong sense of inner safety again, once you feel safe in who you are, you will feel safe to take the leap into love. You naturally want to nurture those you love, so you highly value connection, care and nourishment, and these are your gifts, too. Be aware of people-pleasing, fawning and overgiving, and you’ll thrive in love, as will those around you.

 

VENUS IN LEO ♌️

You love (and spend your doll hairs) in extravagant, creative, and entertaining ways. You will be extremely charismatic and alluring to a partner, with desire to be the queen in the relationship; worshiped, honoured and spoilt. Alongside this, you’ll also gift your partners with beauty, joy, fun and laughter. In shadow, this can lead to dramatic and over exaggerated situations, where the truth might often get in the way of a good story. There is a child-like spirit to the way you love, inspiring creative ways to show each other how you love them and keeping things light, bright and beautiful as much as possible, even in the tough times. You value yourself and your relationship, so making sure you still feel a strong sense of self in your relationships is a must, don’t let anyone dull your sparkle.

 

VENUS IN VIRGO ♍️

You love (and spend money) in healing, refined and reverent ways. There is a priestess-like inner poise and magic in you that attracts people who seek out healing and deeper connection to themselves, so you might often find that you take people on unconsciously as “projects”. This shadow also leads to you becoming over-critical of others, analysing all the little things they do and being nit-picky at their behaviours, giving off a sense of superiority. You really just deeply value health and perfection, and therefore you seek it with your investments - in both other humans and in your possessions. You have the ability to purify the energy of those closest to you, helping them to purge what isn’t serving, especially things they haven’t been able to see. Your words are a gift to your lovers; and you always seem to say the right thing at the right time.

 

VENUS IN LIBRA ♎️

You love (and splash cash) in ways that promote harmony, beauty and balance in your life. In your relationships you are fair, diplomatic and always willing to see the other persons perspective. Venus is so at home in Libra, so when aligned you’re known for how great a partner you make. You are high value because of your availability to maintain peace and keep things feeling fair amongst you all. In shadow, however, this can lean towards being manipulative towards others or yourself to keep the peace, opting for fawning and people pleasing behaviours to avoid feeling down, disconnected or rejected. You value love and relationships, peace and harmony. You have a naturally flirty light-hearted nature, and likely attract a lot of attention socially due to your bubbly personality. 

 

VENUS IN SCORPIO ♏️

You love (and spent money) in deep, connected and sometimes possessive ways. You’re a powerful, perceptive, observant and open-souled lover who wants to know their partners truly, madly and deeply. In shadow, you can exhibit controlling or secretive behaviour as you can tend towards jealousy. Your gift is in your ability to really connect with others, seeing them, warts and all. You are a greatly connected to your body and eros, and expect your partners to be, too. This placement can steer you towards curiosities in taboo lifestyles - tending towards things like kink, or at least experimentation or alternative pathways in your love life. Ultimately, you’re an exceptional lover because of your ability to read the subtle realms within the body and psyche. You also don’t mind your partner having lots of resources as you prefer to feel supported financially so that you can focus more on your spiritual and emotional gifts.

 

VENUS IN SAGITTARIUS ♐️

You love (and blow cash) in a free-spirited, truth-aligned, intelligent way. You are charismatic and extremely magnetic, attracting a lot of attention for your ability to be unabashedly yourself. Your natural optimism always leaves people feeling lighter after being in your company, and your sense of humour and playful nature  is much needed medicine for those around you. In shadow, you can tend to feel superior in your relationships, and insensitive with your words and actions. There is a brashness to how you speak sometimes, so remember the power you have and the impact you leave on those around you. You value truth and insight; so you will always be an honest and deeply philosophical lover and partner. You’ll likely find yourself quite lucky in love; due to your optimistic and magnetic vibe. Your love and zest for life can lead you to also feeling held back in mundane dynamics, so make sure you always do something for you that reinstills your sense of adventure, curiosity, spirituality and worldly perspectives. You’ll need to feel intellectually stimulated and spiritually inspired in your closest relationships.

 

VENUS IN CAPRICORN ♑️

You love (and blow your cash money) in slow, incremental and long-term committed ways. Your love life will be peppered with a handful of long-term committed relationships where you both grow and evolve together over time. There is a deep understanding between you and your loved ones that real love and connection takes time, and every day you must choose each other and be committed to growth and evolution if you wish to build something that lasts. In shadow, you may tend towards being a parental figure towards your partners or treating it like a business or contract of sorts. When stressed you can easily put up a wall of ice around your heart, tending towards judgment and superiority. The trick to not taking life, love and money too seriously with this placement and to romance yourself and your loved ones often. You may feel challenged to find a love that matches yours on every level; but ones you do you’re in it for the long haul and not afraid of hardship; as long as you grow and learn. You bring a beautiful and magical maturity and ethics to your approach to love, and are a great role model of how all good things take time. 

 

VENUS IN AQUARIUS ♒️

You love (and splash cash) in weird, wonderful and innovative ways. Your love life will sound like an eclectic wild journey filled with drama, insight, lessons and lots of new ways of seeing the world. Most of all, your greatest love story will be one of great friendship. A humanitarian at heart, your love of the human spirit drives you to connect with many souls in this lifetime, all of which impact you deeply and in a multitude of ways. In shadow, you might feel aloof and disconnected in your partnerships, tending towards impersonal and novelty connection. However, you highly value friendship, companionship and innovation; so you’ll likely be drawn to unique, outside-the-lines types of relationships and love life. You’re a real blessing in the lives of others because of your ability to see and understand them deeply, providing great and thought-provoking conversation, igniting their passions and helping them to break out of their comfort zones or self-interests in service of something greater. 

 

VENUS IN PISCES ♓️

You love (and spend money) in the pursuit of romance, idealism and to connect you with your dreams. Your love life is more spiritual and artistic in nature; always seeking to both be the muse and to have a muse in your lover. You want to feel inspired by your partnerships, be wooed and romanced into an etheric state, connected spiritually and as “high vibe” as possible. However, that can often lead to shadow behaviours of being ungrounded, naive, impractical and seeking a perfection in love that is unattainable. You are a deeply wise, mystical soul who is a gateway to the garden of Eden, heaven on earth. Through you, others can reconnect with magic, intuition and deep connection with self and the universe. Be aware that the mundane can be just as magic if we allow it. You value connection to source energy, beauty and mystery. There is an open mindedness to this placement, but be wary of your natural inclination to take on projects, fall in love with potential or to become addicted to love (or other substances in avoidance of!).
