VENUS IN THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC

Venus in Aries: You exhibit great appreciation, intense love, and always wear your heart on

your sleeve—always! Not too sensitive with others, you tend to be rough and ready and can

sometimes demand a lot of attention. Shy flowers, stand back! You are independent and sin-

gle-minded, demonstrative and very loving.

Venus in Taurus: Let’s get physical! You love to touch and you can be very possessive. You

love food and all the creature comforts. Money and what it buys are very important. You are a

gentle lover and like a good home life. You are very loyal, loving, and down-to-earth. You may

like gardening and gift-giving.

Venus in Gemini: You are very friendly indeed, love to communicate and to have deep,

searching conversations. You appreciate change, variety, and making local connections. You

have many avenues to explore and you love research. You are not too domestic, and loyalty is

not a big issue. On the move, you have many different friends and places to go.

Venus in Cancer: Homeward bound! With you, the domestic scene is ideal. Marriage, chil-

dren, animals, gardens—the whole works. You like to feel secure. Sensitive too. You are depen-

dent on others and like to be taken care of, even mothered. You love music, can be very emo-

ers. Fragile, refined, you are perhaps too prudish.

Venus in Libra: A socialite, you love decorum and etiquette, but relationships are the big

thing—friends. A peacemaker, sometimes superficial, you avoid all harsh and crude actions,

people or things. You appreciate care, concern for life, equality, gentleness, and acceptance.

Venus in Scorpio: A passionate one, you are never lukewarm in love. It’s hot or not. You are

in love with mystery, secrets, and intrigue, anything but that which is open or superficial. You

have great personal magnetism and a loyalty verging on possessiveness. You are never dull. You

enjoy money and influence too. Politics.

Venus in Sagittarius: You love all things plain and true, and possess an innate sense of religion

and what’s real. Not prudish, even communal, you insist on freedom in all things. You love
