With this column I strive to explain the depth of astrology.
The concept of astrology is that someone’s personality is influenced by the location of the planets in the sky at the time of their birth.
On the day you were born each planet in our solar system was in one of the 12 Zodiac signs. Every planet represents a different aspect of human nature, and the planet’s sign in your birth chart depicts how you will handle that aspect of your life.
Each week I explain the importance of a planet astrologically. The planet I will be analyzing this week is Venus, the planet of love and beauty.
Venus rules over two Zodiac signs: Taurus and Libra. The Taurus side of Venus relates to sensuality, pleasure and celebrating material possessions. Venus to Libra is more focused on relating to other people, along with love and beauty.
Venus is the planet associated with love, friendship, beauty, leisure, art and passions. The influence of Venus is felt in all of our relationships.
Venus reveals how a person experiences and shares beauty and good feelings. She also influences a person’s taste and attractions.
My Venus sign is Pisces so I am sensitive, dreamy and romantic in relationships. I fall in love easily and have strong empathy for other people.
To learn your Venus sign I suggest using astrotheme.com. Make yourself a natal chart: you will need to know your time, place and date of birth.
Understanding your Venus sign will improve your ability to relate with other people. You will learn the tendencies and behaviours you have and be able to work with the weaknesses your Venus sign sign gives you.
As a Pisces Venus I need to be careful with love. Pisces Venus people can fall in love at first sight and tend to look through rose coloured glasses. This can be dangerous for me if I start a relationship with someone ignoring his or her negative traits.
Venus is more than just romantic love; it dictates the types of people you enjoy spending time with, how close emotionally you are with friends, how you mingle, stay in touch and even end relationships. Clashing Venus signs can be problematic due to differing expectations from a relationship.
I encourage you to research your Venus sign, as well as the Venus of the people closest to you. Knowing what the people you love expect from relationships will help avoid misunderstandings.
