Venus is never more than about 48 degrees from the Sun. Most people think of the astrological Venus as being to do with love - indeed it is, but it is also an important factor in judging a person's attitudes towards beauty, money and possessions. Astrological Facts about Venus
Venus is often thought of as a 'lazy' planet, although contacts it receives from other planets can energise it somewhat. In its efforts to find balance, Venus can even resort to violence or coercion, so is far from the 'lightweight' planet many would have you believe. Venus wants to be cherished and adored, and, in a man's chart, indicates how he may come to terms with the feminine side of his nature. Venus-Mars contacts in a natal chart are important in judging the individual's attitudes towards romance, love and sex. Venus-Uranus contacts are traditionally thought to be indicators of homosexual tendencies, although much more research is needed here, and it depends upon the sign influences as to whether this is open, happy homosexuality or repressed longings. Let's take a brief look at how the Venus energies are expressed through the various zodiac signs, and then through the houses: Venus Through The Signs Venus in Aries: Passionate, sex is important, falls in and out of love quickly.
