But wait…who IS that person with whom youre so smitten?
Pacing yourself is an art form to learn.
Alas, patience is NOT a virtue for those with Venus in Aries.
You want to know NOW: Are you into me or not?
A lover who drags out the courtship process will likely get a taste of your extreme ghosting powers.
They may cry with a clairvoyant or burn a Love Drawing candle, but its unlikely youll return.
Nope, youll be off with an adventurous playmate exploring new positions and locations.
Just try not to write people off SO quickly that they dont have a fair shake.
Some Venus in Aries people are full-on exhibitionists.
For best results, allow yourself to experience the full-on bachelor(ette) lifestyle before you settle down.
Easy does it with the double standards, though!
Jealousy can be a troubling issue in your relationships.
(Libra is the other.)
If you were born with this Venus placement, consider yourself lucky!
You woo at a prolonged pace and dont want to miss out on a single courtship ritual.
That said, you dont wait TOO long for a home visit.
For Venus in Taurus people, being relaxed is the key to being receptive to love.
Venus in Gemini
Youve got game!
By the same token, your S.O.
must be available for frequent texting and emoji-laced responses to your social media posts.
With dualistic Gemini directing your love jones, your feelings run hot and coldand can fluctuate by the second.
Venus in Cancer
Can you say, “Hot mama”?
With Venus in nurturing Cancer, youre equal parts caretaker and coquette.
When a prospective lover shows interest, you might demure or throw up a tough outer shell.
This is simply a self-protective measure because once you open your heart, you go “all in.”
With your tender underbelly, it can take you years to get over a breakup or so-called rejection.
But heres something thats especially important to remember: Finding true love also requires you to risk heartbreak.
When you inevitably do find “The One,” youll take care of them in every way possible.
Blankets and pillows on the couch?
Cookies and milk for a snack while dinner slow roasts in the oven?
Endless hugs, cuddles, kisses, and devoted affection?
Yup, that too.
Nesting with your S.O.
can be pure paradise, whether youre building a family or your dream home (or both).
Venus in Leo
Curtains up!
Love is like a theatrical performance for those born with Venus in dramatic Leo.
Hey, if its not a page-turner, its probably not for you!
Venus in fiery, flamboyant Leo makes you a passionate soul.
Youll take your sentiments supersized, thanks.
Yes, like, and plenty of it.
But if theres one thing you cannot abide by, its being ignored!
Venus-in-Leo people need to be worshipped and adored.
A roaming eye or an ambivalent heart are deal breakers.
And lucky for them since your charismatic and generous Venus sign gives as good as you get.
A discerning dater (and sometimes perfectionist), youd rather have no one than the wrong one.
You need a hero who will have your back through lifes ups and downs.
Alas, these romantic rescue missions can throw you off your game for months, even years!
Great hygiene and grooming are also musts for your germ-conscious Venus sign.
Youll revel in every season of relationships, from the courtship dance to planning the wedding (obsessed!)
to picking out the perfect warm-weather retirement community for your sunset years.
Although you’re free to take your time to commit, you believe in love at first sight.
The chemistrys gotta be bubbling like a freshly corked Veuve!
It might take years before youll share a bathroom with your S.O., if you ever do at all.
Cooperating, compromising and co-creating?
With your peacekeeping ethos, youd rather avoid the unpleasantness of a conflict at all costs.
But this can actually be detrimental to intimacy.
Casual dating is so NOT your jam.
You prefer to plunge into the depths of intimacy and find out every one of your lovers secrets.
Sharing your own, however, may take years.
Deeply private and mysterious, you hate to feel vulnerable or exposed.
But when you feel deeply connected to a partner, you will give and share everything you have.
Hell hath no fury like a Venus in Scorpio who has been cheated on!
Pro tip: Skip the revenge fantasies and let karma handle it.
(Just watch Lemonade on repeat for catharsis.)
Venus in Sagittarius
With Venus in broad-spectrum Sagittarius, you love without limits.
This can make you wildly adventurous (read: generally nonmonogamous) or endlessly devoted to your mate.
A relationship must feel like a growth opportunity in order for you to sign on.
Can the two of you build something world-changing together?
Expand, evolve, and learn into your sunset years?
Hope springs eternal for those born with Venus in Sagittarius; youre a gambler in the game of love.
With this lucky sign shielding your heart, you understand that fortune favors the bold.
With the worldly sign directing your love jones, youll have a diverse portfolio of dates and mates.
You might even prefer to date cross-culturally.
Regardless, your ideal mate will have a global sensibility, and youll enjoy traveling together at every opportunity.
Laughter is the key to your heart.
A killer sense of humor is more likely to win you over than dashing good looks.
What you cannot tolerate, however, is feeling restricted or possessed.
A relationship of two whole individuals is your ideal, not losing your identity in some claustrophobic couple bubble.
Relationships are an investment, as far as youre concerned.
As such, your vetting process is strict and thorough.
Youll wait patiently as your potential S.O.
reveals their every dimensionincluding their invariable shadow side.
Hey, youre as much a realist as you are a romantic.
Although you might not admit it out loud, youre a sucker for status.
That said, Venus in Capricorn gives you a strong “provider” instinct.
If youre the breadwinner, youll share generously with your mate.
Some Venus-in-Capricorn people might actually swoon at the notion of co-creating a business.
What could be more satisfying than being able to sit back with your S.O.
and witness all that youve built together?
At times, you may strike others as austere, reserved…even cold!
Venus in Aquarius
Throw away that rulebook!
Ultimately, youre a sapiosexual, turned on by a beautiful mind.
Marriage might not be your ideal with ultramodern Aquarius ruling your heart.
Under this liberated Venus influence you chafe at the idea of anyone “owning” you.
That said, you dont mind exclusivity!
Your mate must be a strong individual with a lush life outside of the relationship.
Experimental Aquarius can make you a fun one in bed.
Jealousy is a pretty foreign concept for Venus in Aquarius.
Alas, that levelheaded approach might dull the sparks with a more passionate person.
Although you run cooler, you must be careful not to minimize your partners feelings.
Learning about neuroscience and its effect on human emotions can give you a template for empathy.
Venus in Pisces
Move over, Rumi.
If you were born with Venus in fantasy-fueled Pisces, you see the poetry in basically everything.
Connecting over a shared love of art and music along with similar spiritual pursuits is also a must.
One soulfully sexy gaze from you might be all it takes for clothes to go a-flinging.
Venus is “exalted” in Pisces, meaning this is its most potent placement in the zodiac.
Just use those powers judiciously because you dont always realize when youre flirting, even leading people on.
Skinny dipping is your idea of foreplay.
But try not to declare your undying love too quickly.
Since Pisces is symbolized by two Fish swimming in opposite directions, attractions may run hot and cold.
This compassionate Venus vibe could spill over into codependency with people who are deeply troubled or dealing with addictions.
The right (healthy!)
partner for you will support your need for space, being affectionate…but never smothering.
Do your part to NOT trigger their abandonment issues by going MIA.
